Here are the top stories in Los Angeles today:

The new regulations raise the minimum age of police officers from 18 to 21, and further restrict the use of pepper spray and rubber bullets by the police. (Norman Transcript)
2. The Governor also plans to sign legislation that would allow Los Angeles County to return property to the descendants of previously Black-owned land. In some cases, Black-owned property was seized under imminent domain by the City Council in the mid-20th Century. (Los Angeles Patch)
3. There's major controversy over the redistricting process for Los Angeles City Council districts, with many incumbent – and one freshman – Councilmembers concerned that their seat could be threatened. (Subscription: Los Angeles Times) (Free: Goodworldnews.com)
4. Minority owned businesses in LA are going to receive a financial boost, thanks to the Entrepreneurs of Color Fund. Los Angeles is the largest small business economy in the U.S. (Lasentinel)
5. Five Los Angeles beaches are under an ocean water use warning, after tests revealed high bacteria levels. (Los Angeles Patch)
