City seeks to overturn judge’s order restricting use of crowd-control weapons by L.A. police
Los Angeles Times
|October 10, 2025
The city of Los Angeles said it would appeal a recent court order that prevents LAPD officers from targeting members of the press with crowd-control weapons.

POLICE launch flashbang grenades in June.
The notice of appeal filed Tuesday comes less than a month after U.S. District Judge Hernén D. Vera barred the Los Angeles Police Department from using so-called less-lethal munitions against journalists and nonviolent protesters.
L.A. police faced multiple allegations of excessive force during protests this year against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
The case challenging Vera’s injunction will now head to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, with a hearing tentatively set for midNovember.
Deputy City Atty. Shaun Jacobs declined to comment Tuesday.
