MORE DEA RAIDS IN LOS ANGELES
EMERGENCY PROTEST OF DEA PIRACY - LA Federal Bldg - FEB 5th
California NORML has confirmed reports of 5 DEA raids in LA today.
Contrary to rumor, no doctor's office was raided. The raids were
all "smash and grab" operations: agents took medicine and money,
destroyed surveillance cameras and grabbed computers, but did not
arrest anyone. The professionalism of the operations was
questionable. In one case, agents reportedly failed to leave a
written receipt for cash that was seized. No rhyme or reason was
apparent in the selection of targets, other than they were in the
same neighborhood. Agents gave no reason for the raids other than
that marijuana is still illegal, but apparently suggested that they
wanted to act fast before receiving new orders.
California NORML believes that recent DEA conduct resembles
nothing more than legalized piracy, and calls on supporters to remind
President Obama of his pledge to end DEA raids.
Dale Gieringer, Director, California NORML
There is a report of a DEA raid in progress at Marina Caregivers located at 730 Washington Blvd. Marina Del Rey, CA 90292. Please got to that location to protest this injustice! It is important the four staff people inside know someone is outside looking out for them. It is also important the at the DEA and LAPD know we oppose this action.
Take signs, banners, bull horns, or any other protest supplies you need. Take water and sunscreen if possible.
