LAPD Clash With Occupy LA Protesters - Art Walk

Downtown Art Walk Night July turns into an unexpected LAPD clash with occupy LA Movement. Two hours before the protest there was a major police incident when an Occupy LA movement artist was writing slogans on the sidewalk on Spring St. Between 5th & 6th Streets it may have been as many as fifty officers that all came to arrest this one women writing with a piece of chalk about two hours later people of the occupy LA movement stage an unscheduled protest about what they considered a misjustice this time around the LAPD sent what appeared to be around two hundred officers mostly in riot gear, for the most part the situation was handled very well when you consider several of the protesters literally push on officers without hardly any of them being arrested.

Hey mikey! You might want to keep racist comments to yourself . I noticed later when talking to others (white women included) you didnt say any of that. You and others better WAKE UP!!! It aint about black vs. white. Just keep on perpetuating .

Don't get me wrong, what the police did is complete bullshit, but when you throw bottles and cans you lose any moral highground you might have had. Violent action becomes justifiable by the police, so not only are you damaging your credibility as a protest, but you are endangering your fellow protesters.

LAPD is racist and corrupt. We live in a police state in Southern California.
