THE BLURB: In June 2025, a war zone came to Los Angeles, the place David now calls home. Marines, ICE agents, LAPD and other law enforcement started grabbing people off LA's streets and the people of LA resisted and spoke up about it. What happens when your home town becomes a war zone and your job is covering it?

SHOW NOTES:

The journalist wounded on camera during the Battle Of LA is the US correspondent for Nine News Australia, Lauren Tomasi. The footage heard here is from their live coverage of the event. In the aftermath, Tomasi reported that she was sore but otherwise unharmed. The event was condemned by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who called the footage "horrific".
