Face of a Protester
LAPD wants to ban ski masks from demonstrators’ wardrobes
Adena Tessler, public safety deputy for Councilwoman Cindy Miscikowski, said the council and the city attorney would make sure that any final proposal would take into account First Amendment protections.

Sobel said recent rulings have underscored the right of protesters to wear masks. Besides, she said, why is it so important to get the laws in place before the NBA game?
“Has there been anywhere in the country,” she asked, “where there has been a riot after an all-star game?”
