“I’m not sure why it happened. You hear different things from different students,” said LAUSD Senior Deputy Superintendent Ramon Cortines of the recent racial brawl at Locke High School.
Cortines was part of the conflict resolution team on campus Monday along with beefed up security to address last Friday’s brawl between African American and Latino students. According to police reports 50 to 100 students were fighting while hundreds more egged them on. The violence grew out of control, eventually involving about 600 students. About 60 officers had to come and subdue students and restore order and the school went into lockdown.”*
