Protesters accused Elbit of aiding Israeli military operations and providing surveillance tools to ICE \u2014 claims repeated on flyers and banners reading \u201cElbit Out of Los Angeles\u201d and \u201cGenociders Not Welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their call to action was blunt: \u201cALL OUT AT AUDREY IRMAS PAVILION\u2026 BRING YOUR NOISEMAKERS. SHUT THEM DOWN!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That came from People\u2019s City Propaganda, a PCC-affiliated account.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly 20 protesters clustered at the entrance and later inside, masks, keffiyehs, raised voices. Videos show them confronting attendees, including parents trying to get children inside.<\/p>\n<p>And then came a familiar face: Jason Reedy. Baby strapped to him. Again.<\/p>\n<p>A woman filming gasped when she spotted the baby, but carrying an infant into confrontations has become part of Reedy\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Reedy a People\u2019s City Council member is one of L.A.\u2019s most aggressive protest figures. X\/@AxumSelassie<\/p>\n<p>For years he\u2019s marched into Police Commission meetings with his infant son, shouting expletives. One commissioner once said it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2023-09-03\/activists-toddler-at-the-center-of-lapd-commission-controversy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cmade him sick\u201d to watch<\/a>. Weeks later, then LAPD Chief Michel Moore suggested that Reedy was using his child as a shield from criticism.<\/p>\n<p>Reedy shrugged it off. \u201cThe commission enforces rules on the people who attend,\u201d he fired back, \u201cnot on police who commit acts of violence.\u201d His philosophy: \u201cF\u2014 decorum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before becoming an activist, Reedy said he was working to address food insecurity. It was the George Floyd uprising in 2020 that got in on the protest path.<\/p>\n<p>Protester Jason Reedy seen in an undated photo.
