LAPD'S CHIEF BRATTON ON MAY DAY MELEE

Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton today presented his report on the May 1st police riot at MacArthur Park to the LA Police Commission. Chief Bratton blamed the overwhelming use of force against participants and observers of the immigration rally on a (quote) "command and control breakdown". Some of the actions being taken by LAPD include personnel changes, internal affairs investigations into misconduct, and department-wide training...including training for police to videotape future demonstrations. Chief Bratton will present his report to LA's City Council tomorrow.
