LAPD used UCLA stadium named in honor of Jackie Robinson to detain Black Lives Matter protesters, and the school demanded it stop
The university responded in an official capacity shortly thereafter, tweeting that they never gave the LAPD permission to operate at the stadium and that leadership is "troubled by accounts of Jackie Robinson stadium being used as a 'field jail.'"
In addition to confirming that police had vacated the property, university officials insisted that they would "NOT grant permission [to local agencies] should there be a request like this in the future." The 1,800-person stadium — which plays host to the UCLA Bruins baseball team — is named in honor of Jackie Robinson, a former UCLA student-athlete who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
An individual who claims to have been arrested and detained at the stadium claims that he was held by police for five hours without access to food, water, or bathrooms.Protesters have organized in cities across the country after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvinduring Floyd's arrest. Floyd died of asphyxiation, and Chauvin has since been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
"His death is on their hands, as much as it is on those officers," Moore said. He's since walked back the comments. Protests in Los Angeles and across the country are ongoing, with many cities introducing curfews to help curtail violence and destruction after dark.
