Los Angeles Panther raids and detention
Kathy Kimbrough was arrested in the December 8 raid on the 55th Street Panther residence. Contemporary Party reporting includes her in the released-prisoner roster and says she had returned to organizing by publication on December 20, 1969. Her exact release date and time detained are not established.
The December 8, 1969 Los Angeles police raids targeted Black Panther premises at Central Avenue, the Toure Community Center and a residence on 55th Street. The Party denounced the operation as political repression. Contemporary Party reports are attributed as such; their allegations of mistreatment are not presented as independent court findings.
Individual verdicts, physical release dates and time actually detained are recorded only where supported. The broader trial included acquittals on serious counts and some weapons-conspiracy convictions. It would be inaccurate to describe every raid defendant as acquitted of every charge.
