News LAPD Uses Force to Break Up May Day Rally
posted by May 2 at 11:12 AM
onL.A.’s finest, decked out in full riot gear, fired tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of demonstrators at a May Day immigration rally in Macarthur Park.
Police were indiscriminate in their use of force, roughing up several Telemundo and Fox crew members in the melee.
There are conflicting reports on what sparked the clash but several reporters, who were at the rally, claimed that the police gave no warning or dispersal order before moving in on the crowd.
The LAPD has stated that they will be reviewing the incident.

Pigs
The police get upset when someone leaves a cake out in the rain.
The LAPD needs to be dissolved and replaced by the NAtional Guard until a new department can be instated. The institutional corruption that runs throughout their department is obviously incurable.
Incredibly stupid. And shameful. Like the LA Police Department needed another disaster.
And their mayor is Latino. Good move guys.
You'd think with all of LAPDs experience with riots they'd be better at handling them.
Now that was just plain stupid of them to do.
I'm speechless. This is just so fucking disgusting.
Has anyone told Eli about what's happening in his new favorite city?
Madness there, sheer madness!
I watched the story on a couple websites and it sounds like a half dozen or so troublemakers (probaly anarchists from Oregon) started throwing rocks, so, just like the SPD at the WTO, decided to just shoot and beat everybody. No one is going to get punished for this.
It's completely disproportionate though. If someone throws a few bottles and rocks at the police then they have recourse to beat journalists and shoot at innocent men women and children? I agree no one will get punished because it's the LAPD remember Rodney King?
