May Day Protest Police Violations...

[Oscar]

Has any of you been following the news of this? Specifically speaking what happened in McArthur Park here in Los Angeles? Do you think it was justified for the police to violate the constitutional rights of the media to cover the thing? I mean pushing the media people around. Grabbing their cameras and throwing them around on the floor, kicking a media person, grabbing a media lady and swinging her around from the arm. Shooting rubber bullets at a media person while she was running to her news van, which luckily struck the van and not her. What do you guys think about all this crap that went on in the May Day Protests around the country and the events that unfolded in McArthur park?

Why the police hostilities? Was it a festival to honor Rodney King?

Protest for immigration rights. They happened all across the countries, how could you not notice!

I saw this on CNN a few days ago. What those cops did was over excessive IMO. There are other ways to make a crowd move rather then attacking and damaging/destroying media equipment.

yeah, wierdly there was a protest in london too about imagration on may 5th.
they protested and then got deported.

but what the american police did was outragous and shouldnt of happened in a million years.
boo the the american police

One word. Waco.
American authority just love a good punch up dont they!

Not American police, LA's police. Though the cops here have done worse......

This event LA.
Waco Texas.
And other public violations enforced by authority has happened all over the country.
You just contradicted yourself. Unless you didnt read my post properly.
Although i do think police in England are too leniant.
And in the words of some big hip foo', "fxck the police".

Look, I will let them mow all the grass they want. Geesh ... just back off with the freaking rallies! (I have been dying to use this picture, and NOW I have a reason! [lol])
