Journalists Covering Los Angeles Immigration March Assaulted by Police

The Los Angeles Police Department is coming under increasing criticism for violently crushing a largely peaceful immigrants rights march on Tuesday. Police dressed in riot gear fired 240 rounds of rubber and foam bullets as well as tear gas. Officers were seen on video clubbing protesters and journalists with batons. Overall, ten people — including several journalists — were taken to hospitals after being injured. [includes rush transcript]
