Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Los Angeles: Protests After Two Fatal Police Shootings

HeadlineOct 04, 2016

Meanwhile, protests are continuing in Los Angeles following two fatal police shootings over the weekend. On Saturday, police shot and killed 18-year-old Carnell Snell Jr., who police claim was holding a gun, although many dispute that claim. The identity of the second person killed by police, also on Saturday, has not been released. Police say he was shot after officers confused a replica of a gun for a real gun. Among those arrested at Monday’s protests in Los Angeles was Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors and Black Lives Matter organizer Melina Abdullah. Both have been released.
