Police to Review Clash at LA Rally
My Way News & AP ^ | May 2, 2007

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police Chief William J. 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 Tuesday's demonstration. Some injured people were seen in the videos, including a Hispanic man with a bleeding welt on his stomach and back.

Apologize and THEN deport. It’s important to be civil to criminals.

I thought Joe Strummer was dead.

Aw, you're thinking of Joe Hill:
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.
"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
they shot you Joe" says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
And standing there as big as life
and smiling with his eyes.
Says Joe "What they can never kill
went on to organize,
went on to organize"
From San Diego up to Maine,
in every mine and mill,
where working-men defend there rights,
it's there you find Joe Hill,
it's there you find Joe Hill!
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.

Where’d they find time to protest? I thought they were doing the jobs that Americans won’t do.

LOL!

Never apologize for doing whatever the situation required be done at the time.
Oh gee, a bunch of illegals (criminals) staging a protest were infiltrated by anarchists acting in a criminal manner, and suffered the consequences of having associated with the criminal extremist elements of their supporters of crime.
The irony here is breathtaking!
And the cops are called to apologize?
ROTFLMAO!

If you step out of line and hit someone with your baton, you’re a rogue beat down artist. If you stay in formation and act as a team, and hit someone with your baton, you’re a professional.

I’m bringing back my old tagline in honor of the LAPD.

"Why did you hit me? I'm a reporter,'" ... "And he hit me again"Now that's funny!

Bratton is an effing disgrace. Throw your officers under the wetback bus.

What’s to review? A bunch of Commie thugs and illegal aliens started to attack law enforcement. How come no one was shot?
