Chief Michel Moore's promises that the LAPD is prepared to facilitate demonstrations related to Derek Chauvin's trial come at a high-stakes moment for the department.

When George Floyd died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck nearly a year ago, the Los Angeles Police Department’s response to widespread protests and pockets of unrest prompted harsh criticism, a rack of lawsuits and scrutiny both inside and outside the department.

Three separate reviews of the LAPD’s response to the protests of the last year, each released in the past few weeks, found thatfor such large-scale, diverse demonstrations; failed to train officers on how to handle such events or use the projectile weapons they were given; failed to stand up appropriate procedures for processing the thousands of people they arrested; and contributed to the chaos by issuing confusing and at times contradictory commands to officers in the field.
