Have
you ever wondered what would happen if you were at a party that was shut down
by the police? What if you were stopped and searched by law enforcement
because you resembled someone else? How should you act? What should
you do? Is your experience with law enforcement different if you live in Compton or in Pacific
Palisades? Is that about race or zip
code? Acting on concerns sparked by
their deepening relationship, students on the Watts
and Pacific Palisades Young Angels teams are hosting a panel to discuss teens
and the law. The panel is made up of
students from both teams and the young professional comics of The Young Angels
Comedy project. The discussion will be
facilitated by Cyn Yamashiro,
Director of the Center for Juvenile Justice at Loyola Law School and criminal defense attorney, Steve Cron. This event is a joint production
of the Young Angels Pacific Palisades and Watts
teams.
