LAPD: criminals, thugs, savages. The department is already under court orders for their police riots in 2000. Yet we have to go to Democracy Now! and YouTube to find reporters putting the story together about how the LAPD attacked unarmed, peaceful marchers with clubs, rubber bullets and tear gas.
Footage, interviews and analysis corroborate eyewitness stories of acts of terror and brutality by police, while the mainstream press only shows us images of the Chief of Police saying that some "inappropriate" things happened. Watch this video. Some people in this country know we are already living in a police state, but a lot of others think everything is fine because these images are carefully hidden from us. The police deliberately targeted reporters and cameramen in an ongoing effort to intimidate the media. This is not new. Why should the press have to sue, AGAIN, to get some kind of accountabiility? I know that the Mayor of LA is sickened by this. What's he going to be able to do to punish the perpetrators of this state violence against citizens exercising their rights?
