FBI to Investigate Police Violence at L.A. Immigrant Rights March

HeadlineMay 04, 2007

In California, the FBI is planning to launch a civil rights investigation into the Los Angeles Police Department’s use of violent force to end an immigrant rights march on Tuesday. Police fired 240 rounds of rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters and journalists. At least 10 civilians, including seven journalists, were taken to a hospital. One of the injured journalists, Fox TV camerawoman Patti Ballaz, is planning to announce today that she is filing a claim against the city. Video shows police repeatedly hit her with batons and knocked her to the ground.
