LAPD brutality video (full version)

Unprovoked attacks by Los Angeles police. From the counter-protest called by ANSWERLA.org to protest a Minutemen march in Hollywood on July 8, 2006.

Man in white shirt on left walks towards police, is clubbed. Others are clubbed, person in wheelchair knocked over. Screams of “he’s mentally retarded.” Officer on bike deliberately smashes into two people standing there videoing. Other cops club them, even after they’re on the ground. After several seconds of them not moving, cop clubs them again and is pushed back by another cop.
