Thousands of Texas families hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic waited up to 12 hours to put food on the table this holiday season — as the state grapples with a surge in infections. The normally quiet grounds of Fair Park in Dallas was home to the North Texas Food Bank’s largest giveaway of food since coronavirus spread through the state, the Dallas Morning News reported. Saturday’s Thanksgiving-themed event handed out food to about 8,500 families facing financial stress from the growing crisis — 17 times more people than the annual event usually serves. Photos from the event showed traffic backed up for miles as people waited for hours in their cars for a package containing a frozen turkey, 20 pounds of canned goods and 15 pounds of fruits and vegetables along with bags of bread.

Portland's anarchists say they support racial justice. Black activists want nothing to do with them. The day after President-elect Joe Biden delivered his victory speech, telling the nation it was time to heal and unite, a clandestine Twitter account — @safePDXprotest — summoned Portland anarchists. Meet at Laurelhurst Park at 8 p.m. and “Wear Bloc & Be Water,” the message said, calling for black garb and vigilance to evade police for a protest “in solidarity with BLM”.

The 50 or so people who showed up — nearly all of them white — looked like ninjas as they put on balaclavas, hoods and scarves. Some carried gas masks. The call to action had declared “No Masters” — leaders, in the parlance of 19th century European anarchists — but the crowd huddled around one young man as he lambasted liberals for celebrating the defeat of President Trump while capitalism and the political system remained entrenched.

“They can show up to dance ’cause of Orange Man bad, but they can’t be out here fighting with us,” he said. “So that’s why we’re going. ... I’m tired of liberal complacency.”

Word spread through the group that the target tonight would be the local headquarters of the Democratic Party. Somebody started beating a drum as a chant broke out: “Fuck Joe Biden!” Then the anarchists marched into the upscale neighborhood, intent on destruction.

For months, Portland has been a significant face of the Black Lives Matter movement, in part because of the national attention that self-described anarchists brought to nightly protests throughout the summer. They set fires, launched fireworks at authorities and spat in their faces to draw them into violent confrontations that made headlines around the world. The election of Biden has only antagonized the anarchists — and exposed their differences with the Black activists they claim to support.

Black activists and community leaders, who generally view the defeat of Trump as an opportunity for change within the system, said the anarchists are hijacking the movement and undermining the push for racial justice by continuing to commit violence.

“When people set fire to a building, it really does not liberate me one bit,” said Mingus Mapps, a Black resident who won a seat on the Portland City Council this month. “It does the opposite. It fuels the political culture that makes racism possible.”

The former political science professor, who peacefully participated in several demonstrations, plans to advocate for police reform beyond budget cuts passed by the council and a measure approved by voters to create a police oversight board.

“We’re going to get out of the game of smoke bombs and rubber bullets and dressing cops up like they’re Marines as we stand outside public buildings and yell at each other,” he said.

The anarchists believe working within the system is futile and say the political order and capitalist economy must be torn down. Biden, as head of a party supporting the free-market system and private property rights, is no better than Trump, more than a dozen said in interviews.

Distrusting the media, all refused to give their names. But pamphlets distributed at a recent rally outline their far-left philosophies.

“Abolish All Mayors” — the title of one booklet — advocates “the complete democratization and community control of all city bureaus and the abolition of the police.”

“Why We Break Windows” advocates an end to private property and invokes the Boston Tea Party to explain the point of “political vandalism” during revolts. “Shop windows represent segregation,” it says. “To smash a shop window is to contest all the boundaries that cut through this society: black and white, rich and poor, included and excluded.”

The investigation continued after two women were shot and killed at a warehouse party in South Los Angeles over the weekend, police said. The Los Angeles Police Department said the two victims attended a large gathering at a warehouse located near the intersection of West 31st and Hill streets where a suspect or suspects opened fire. According to officials, LAPD officers discovered one victim on the sidewalk and the other victim inside the warehouse. One victim was identified by the Los Angeles County coroner's office as Shaterika Howard, 33, of Los Angeles. The second victim is believed to be in her 20s or 30s. Police do not have a motive or a description of a suspect or suspects. This investigation is ongoing.

The union representing nearly 10,000 LAPD officers refused to meet with city leaders to discuss budget cuts. The three-page letter from the union president to decline the meeting ended with the message “We wish you luck.”

The union that represents more than 9,800 Los Angeles police officers has rejected a request from the city’s labor negotiators to meet and discuss the city’s financial crisis, dealing a fresh setback to Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City Council as they struggle to close a looming budget deficit.

Craig Lally, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said in a letter to the city’s chief employee relations officer that the LAPD had already received a $150-million budget cut this year, with some of the savings used to delay reductions at other city agencies.

Lally said in his three-page letter, which was distributed to the union’s members, that officers had spent months on the front lines of the city’s COVID-19 response while contending with “protests, riots and professional sports ‘celebrations’ that devolved into chaos.”

LAPD officers have been “hit in the head with bricks, had urine thrown at them, attacked with frozen water bottles and even injured with eye-damaging lasers,” Lally said in the letter, which was sent Friday and ended with the message “We wish you luck.”

The union’s response reflects some of the deep divisions between the LAPD’s rank-and-file and the elected officials charged with balancing the city’s books amid a pandemic. The union has already expressed deep dissatisfaction with Police Chief Michel Moore over his handling of this year’s protests and posted a video criticizing Garcetti’s police commissioners over the city’s recent increase in homicides and shooting victims.

Garcetti and the council face a projected revenue shortfall of at least $400 million, a figure equal to nearly all of the city’s reserve funds. A more dire scenario has put the deficit at $600 million, or nearly a tenth of the city’s general fund, which pays for police, firefighters and other core services.

“Pandemic-driven revenue loss has put the city in dire financial straits,” Garcetti spokesman Alex Comisar said in a statement Monday. “Now is a critical time to be at the table with all employee representatives to discuss cost-cutting options.”

The City Council voted to cut the LAPD budget in July, reducing the number of police officers to 9,757 — the department’s lowest staffing level since 2008. Garcetti and the council announced the cut during massive citywide protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Council members put a portion of the $150-million cut into a fund set up to delay furloughs for civilian workers, which are now scheduled to begin in January. City leaders also attempted to save money through an employee buyout program, but that initiative is expected to yield only $2.6 million.

On Nov. 10, city negotiators sent the LAPD union a letter asking for a meeting to discuss the league’s contract, which contained a series of raises, including a combined 4.8% increase for the current fiscal year and a 3% increase scheduled for January 2022.

Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents neighborhoods stretching from Westchester to Brentwood, said Monday that the union’s refusal to meet or make concessions would threaten public safety, triggering cuts to emergency preparedness, neighborhood police patrols, gang intervention programs and LAPD’s civilian staffing. Bonin, who has been at odds with the union for months, has repeatedly called for the league to postpone its pay increases, in part because the LAPD consumes more than half of the city’s discretionary funds.

“It is incredibly disappointing that our largest union has turned its back on the people of Los Angeles, and is refusing to even discuss actions that will spare cuts to vital city services, such as helping renters avoid eviction, feeding hungry seniors, and supporting small businesses,” Bonin said Monday in an email.
