L A Negroes Demand Probe After Panthers Raids Demonstration
About 2000 demonstrators, mostly Black, gathered at the Civic Center to press for a comprehensive probe into predawn police raids on the Black Panther party and two other Panther sites. Three Panthers and three officers were wounded in a four hour gunfight. The protest mixed moderate and militant speakers and included vandalism at the Hall of Justice and a vending area. Notable figures included Councilman Thomas Bradley, NAACP leader Reverend Richard Bass, and Angela Davis who linked the raids to a national conspiracy against Black Panthers. Signs labeled police as pigs and called for action against Panther killings. A one day boycott was urged, but attendance in the Negro community remained near normal.
