The scene during Bonin’s tearful speech. He thanks Karen Bass, but not mayoral rival Rick Caruso, who has also called on the council members on the tape; some boos when he thanks Eric Garcetti. “On these tapes I have heard the worst of what Los Angeles is.” https://t.co/81AjJXTot7 — PolitiTweet.org

Bonin says that the council members on the tape should resign, and apologize not to him but to his son. “When he’s older, maybe when he’s in high school, you can seek his forgiveness.” — PolitiTweet.org

“I did not want a conversation about racism to be centered on an angry white dad.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

“Fuck,” says Bonin, who’s holding back tears. “I’m a dad who loves his son in ways that words cannot capture.” Fine to attack him, he says, but: “My son? Man, that makes my soul bleed.” — PolitiTweet.org

Crowd mostly quiet for Bonin. “I really did not want to be here today. I wanted to be with my family.” On the tape that kicked off this controversy, fellow council members made fun of Bonin’s adopted black son. — PolitiTweet.org

Protesters chanting “what do we want? Justice!” and “we are the people, the mighty mighty people.” O’Farrell calls on council member Mike Bonin, left wing west side council member with credibility in this crowd. — PolitiTweet.org

O’Farrell keeps trying to quiet the crowd and take questions — everyone who has one, he says, can ask it. “We are going to have a meeting today… we can have a meeting without any of you in the room.” https://t.co/oSMArcHkpK — PolitiTweet.org

I haven't lived in Chicago for 18 years, but remember huddling in those warming centers when changing trains. Cities continuing with the "make civilization worse, maybe the homeless will go away" mindset. — PolitiTweet.org
