Substance thrown at Chief Charlie Beck during L.A. Police Commission meeting 2 women arrested

Two people were arrested at Los Angeles Police headquarters Tuesday morning after a substance was thrown at Chief Charlie Beck during a meeting of the city Police Commission, officials said.

According to CBS2's Dave Lopez, Hines-Brim was booked for battery on a police officer.

In later comments to NBC 4, Hines-Brim said, "I used her ashes".

Abdullah is a leader of the Los Angeles arm of Black Lives Matter, and Sheila Brim, an aunt of Wakiesha Wilson, who died while in LAPD custody in 2016, according to LAPD spokeswoman Detective Meghan Aguilar.

Police say the powder-like substance - which was not officially identified - was thrown in the general direction of the police chief and "did land on Chief Beck".

Asked by a reporter how she felt after her arrest, she said: "I feel satisfied".

Abdullah was detained and later arrested on suspicion of committing the same offense after she allegedly made contact with another officer.

The meeting was immediately recessed when the powder was released. "They covered it up".

Federal Judge Questions Mueller's Intentions, Authority with Manafort Indictment
ET to testify at Manafort's trial on charges stemming from Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The judge said that even without such a connection, the special counsel may well still have the authority to bring the charges.

"This only created chaos and fear for any Angelenos who wanted to voice their opinion about policing in our city", he said.

Her death triggered protests from her family and Black Lives Matter activists, some of whom said Wilson wouldn't have killed herself and believed that an altercation involving officers was to blame, the Los Angeles Times reported. Her cellmate reportedly claimed Wilson verbalized that she was having suicidal thoughts and had wrapped a shirt around her neck at some poiint.

The department reviewed its practices on seeking mental health assistance for inmates and notifying the family about deaths after the incident, the Post reported.

"There is insufficient evidence to prove that a reasonable person would have known that leaving Wilson alone for approximately 33 minutes would result in her death", the report stated.

The commission meeting was adjourned and the room was cleared.

Since Wilson's death, her family has received a $300,000 wrongful death settlement and a detention center officer, Reaunna Bratton, was sacked because of allegations that she did not immediately render medical aid to Wilson when she was found unconscious.

The NBC affiliate cited internal affairs and personnel files that showed the officer, Reaunna Bratton, was sacked late previous year over allegations that she had failed to immediately render medical aid to Wilson.
