What can we do with this story?
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007I have been (barely) using this blog to talk about things related to my academic interests. But, this bothered me so much this evening that I felt a need to do anything I can to get this story in front of more people.
This movie shows some footage of the LAPD breaking up what appears to be a rather peaceful protest two days ago. Please watch this movie in its entirety. It gets worse and worse as you go through it.
(Also can be viewed here.)
There is a police investigation underway. Apparently, some journalists from a public radio station and a Fox affiliate were among those injured.
As of this posting, there hasn’t been much media attention on this story. Hopefully, things will change as people’s videos get uploaded (where you at, Digg people??).
