the S W A T team and L A P D cleared
the way for w h i t e sterile vans to advance
slowly through the crowd of filming spectators towards the factory and take the workers inside
the family members with mothers,
brothers and fathers inside rushed
to block the entrance
the S W A T threw canisters at the folks
standing on the sidewalks nearby but its foul
smell that made the bystanders cough could not mask
that unless these officers, these servicemen these agents are Tongva/ Gabrieleño in downtown L . A
they are just I M M I G R AN T S arresting I M M I G R AN T S
Truth remains truth
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It’s is self sustained.” -Mahatma Gandhi
