National Immigrant Solidarity  Network and the ActionLA Coalition to LAPD 
Chief William Bratton, and to LA  Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: 
TAKE FULL  RESPONSBILITY TO THE MAY DAY MCARTHUR PARK POLICE ATTACK! 
May 9, 2007 
The National Immigrant Solidarity Network  and the ActionLA Coalition are 
outrage by the vague comments and "actions" taken  by the LAPD and the the Mayor 
after the May Day police attacks on the immigrant  rights marchers at and 
around Mcarthur Park. 
Videos footage and eye witness testimonies  have shown that LAPD, not the 
so-called "small groups of anarchist" to blame of  the violence. Furthermore, 
it's clear, from the eye witness accounts and past  actions by the commanders and 
units present, that the May Day police attacks  were not simply a "break" in 
command chain or few "bad apples" on LAPD, but was  well coordinated action 
from the top of the command chain. 
Therefore, we demand that LAPD chief  William Bratton, and LA Mayor Antonio 
Villaraigosa: TAKE FULL RESPONSBILITY TO  THE MAY DAY MCARTHUR PARK POLICE 
ATTACK! >> _Read  More_
