That's the ticket!
...Later at the city's MacArthur Park, Los Angeles police cut a rally short after about 80 people began throwing rocks and bottles at police, according to Sgt. R. Kanzaki.Police fired rubber cartridges to disperse the crowd of 3,000 and no arrests were made, he said...
...Witnesses said police wearing riot gear and wielding batons gave no warning before firing at rally participants gathered at MacArthur Park, CNN reported.Police said a protester knocked down a motorcycle officer, the news channel said.
There were no reports of serious injuries and no arrests were made...
I cannot even imagine what a cop in the L.A. area has to go through. I wouldn’t want their job for a million bucks.
...Elsewhere across California, about 25,000 protesters showed up for a daytime downtown Los Angeles rally. It was one of several immigration protests in L.A. that were largely peaceful.
The one exception was a nighttime rally in MacArthur Park that led to the arrests of several people after police fired rubber bullets and used batons to keep the defiant crowd from spilling out into the city streets...
They are not going to get their way, to the extent they want things, and even though illegal, univited "guests" of a foreign county (ours, in this case)--and should have NO say on the issue, they are going to increasingly take to the American streets and get violent about it.
You can see it coming.
Anarchist said be the cause

What pisses me off is if you are for border control you are a racist.
A rock is a deadly weapon. I would have shot them like the BP guy who did exactly that when an illegal was about to heave a 2 pound rock to his head.
