Activists say DA's requested gag order will silence protesters

The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney's Office filed a motion on March 26 seeking a gag order against Tianna Arata and three other Black Lives Matter protesters and their respective attorneys, citing a collective media campaign that's influencing the county's jury pool.
On March 29, about 40 people gathered in front of the DA's Office holding signs that read "Stop silencing Black voices" and "Dan, you already got disqualified, give it up." The group called SLO County District Attorney Dan Dow a racist and accused the office of witness tampering.

REFLECTION The SLO City Council discussed the findings of an after-action police report focused on a Black Lives Matter protest last year on June 1 (pictured).
The council discussion—slated to pick back up on Feb. 23 at 5 p.m.—centered on a recently released "after-action review" of the June 1 protest, which was completed by the SLO Police Department.* The document compiles testimony from officers and protesters while weaving a police-centric narrative about the events leading up to its use of tear gas, pepper balls, and flash bangs against demonstrators.
