The excitement around here today was a standoff situation that developed down the street in an apartment building. LAPD doesn’t mess around, so SWAT was called in. After several hours of lock down, they made their move. Tear gas was used. Those of us downwind had to hunker down and ride out the storm. My assistant, pictured above, was prepared for this and didn’t miss a beat. It ended peacefully, nothing to see here.
