Police Panthers clash in Watts siege dispute over first shot
In a predawn raid on the Los Angeles Black Panther headquarters in Watts, police and Panthers dispute who fired first as three officers and three Panthers were wounded. Officers displayed an arsenal of 24 weapons, many illegal, while Panthers claim police fired first and accuse police of planting evidence. Nine men and two women were taken into custody with investigations ongoing. The ACLU said it will represent the Panthers in challenging the warrants and raid method.
