IN THE LAND OF THE FREE!


National Immigrant Solidarity Network and Action LA is outraged to learn that at about 6:30 PM, May 1, the LAPD fired rubber bullets and tear gas into crowds of hundreds of people at the May Day rally in McArthur Park. This was after the police had declared an unlawful assembly. Most of the people present did not hear or know about the police declaration..

The LAPD failed to act professionally and demonstrate restraint when it used excess force against a peaceful rally of families which included mothers, babies and young children. The LAPD lacked recognition of the consequences of it's actions.
What do you expect in a state where a man named Rodney king could be beat and when he struggled to get away from the blows ,it was said that he was resisting arrest.
The aliens in our country will have to learn if you make the cops mad they will beat you. Those of us who have lived here all of our lives know it is best to stay low and hope we don't draw attention too our selves.

Once again . . . I don't think there has been any real changes in the LA police department in my lifetime.
