Tagged: California, children, Los Angeles, police, protestPosted on: May 3rd, 2007“Police Chief William Bratton said Wednesday that some of the police tactics used to clear immigration protesters from a park were inappropriate, as news videos showed officers striking people with batons and firing rubber bullets into crowds that included children.
Images showed police hitting a television cameraman to the ground and shoving people who were walking away from officers at Tuesdays demonstration. Some injured people were seen in the videos, including a Hispanic man with a bleeding welt on his stomach and back.”
