In Los Angeles, an internal LAPD probe has faulted top police commanders for the breakdown of a largely peaceful immigration march on May Day of this year. Police with riot guns fired hundreds of rubber bullets, shot tear gas, and clubbed protesters and journalists gathered in MacArthur Park. At least 240 protesters and journalists were injured. Hundreds of legal claims have been filed against the city. In a long-awaited report, the LAPD says commanders on the ground gave confusing and contradictory orders to protesters and failed to rein in police officers using excessive force. In violation of LAPD policy, more than 140 “less-than-lethal” rounds were fired directly at protesters instead of at the ground. Officers also struck demonstrators and journalists with batons more than 100 times. Many of them had been standing passively in place. Twenty-six police officers are under investigation for wrongdoing.
