Protesters were getting a little to aggressive and close to some national guards troops.
Whether they were afraid of the crowd or just assholes they opened fire.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

High school project lays it out..




Spooky how out of hand the police got at the Immigrant Rights protests yesterday..

"Pedro Sevcec was broadcasting live for the Spanish-language television network Telemundo when police knocked over his monitors and lights and hit his staff with batons. Sevcec told the Los Angeles Times a police officer grabbed one of his cameras and threw it more than fifteen feet to the ground. He said police pointed a riot gun at his face, hit him with a baton and forced him out of the park. "

"Others assaulted include four employees of KVEA-TV Channel 52 and a reporter for the public radio station KPCC hit by a police baton. Christina Gonzales, a reporter for the Fox affiliate KTTV-TV Channel 11, suffered a bruised shoulder after she was shoved to the ground. Her camera operator suffered a broken wrist. The incident was caught on tape."


Way over aggressive, even assaulting press crews! With the Telemundo crew being beaten, imagine the impression Mexicans, and others in the world, will have of us? Even aggressive against our own people in a protest for unions, and human rights....

Have any citizens of other countries heard about the police brutality at the rallies yesterday?

Sad day when the military is used against civilians, specially students who are by virtue, at the forefront of change and pushing the boundaries of self expression...............didn't it help end the Vietnam war?

The LAPD is being probed about that. Like that makes a flying fuck in regards to anything. Christ they had more peaceful protests in Iraq last week than we can have here in the states. Crazy huh?

Nah, despite the talking points, protests didn't really do anything for the Vietnam War.  It was noted as being extremely unpopular, but it didn't cost anyone any elections.  Protestors marched a lot and smoked a lot of dope, but the one thing they didn't do was vote. 

What caused the withdrawal from Vietnam (not "loss") was when even the most hardened Generals were saying "you know, we might not be able to win this thing", and a few behind-the-scenes things where basically the money ran out and credit was refused.
