Thousands of protesters who have been arrested in Los Angeles for violating curfew or failing to disperse will not be prosecuted, county and city officials announced Monday.

Feuer said his office will create"opportunities for violators to participate in an exchange of ideas and perspectives--as well as a discussion of tangible steps that can be taken by individuals, communities, law enforcement and our office--to address issues relevant to these protests."

Without offering details, Feuer said the alternative to prosecution"will incorporate principles of restorative justice reflected in our Office's Community Justice Initiative, and allow for a non-punitive resolution of these matters, outside of the courts.""Resolving these violations through alternative methods is a productive and appropriate way to address these offenses, and will have lasting positive effects on our community," Moore said.

While the protests in Los Angeles started off peacefully there have been periods of violence, with some groups setting businesses aflame, vandalizing store fronts and stealing merchandise. That led to city and county-wide curfews — some as early as 1 p.m. — which have now ended. Critics have argued that the LA Police and County Sheriff's departments have been excessively and unnecessarily brutal in their response to the protests.on protesters. Much of the troubling behavior has been captured by cell phone cameras and shared broadly on social media.

Bullshit. Lawlessness. Who cares if you break the law. This is the messages you are sending these BORED children who are protesting. They don’t even know what the hell they are protesting. Just like the Dems, they said ONE thing, but want it all, and NOW.Give me a break FreePass

We need to sue the LAPD and sheriffs department into oblivion for systematic civil rights abuses. No charges? For misdemeanor breaking of curfew? Oh no

Really wise...

What about the church goers?

But what about that one guy in the kayak in the ocean? Bet they nailed him!
