The Los Angeles Police Department is still out of control. I just saw live video footage of non-violent protestors staging an old style sit-in and they were ringed by LAPD officers wielding M-16 machineguns. If that in itself is not bad enough, these cops were pointing those fully automatic weapons at them like they were armed and dangerous bank robbers or something?
In another incident captured by the numerous video cameras present, a small group of what can only be described as PIGS clubbed a guy in shorts repeatedly until he fell hard over a concrete center divider. It is disturbing to see the brutality from Monday get repeated on a smaller, more personal scale than horse versus defenseless innocent citizen!
Some of the protests today actually were against the police brutality of Monday. During that protest at least one innocent woman was hit by a PIG with his baton and big female PIG hit a guy in the back for absolutely no reason. Unbelievable, these are criminal actions by LAPD PIGS.
As the number of arrests nears two hundred, the trial lawyers just couldn't resist trying to get a piece of the action. Calling themselves legal observers, the yellow cap clad, National Lawyers Guild ambulance chasers were also not immune to the unprovoked actions of a police department eager to make a statement.
I am still saddened and in shock over the ruthless brutality of the LAPD!
