LAPD chief on hot seat
LOS ANGELES, May 2 (UPI) --
Los Angeles' police chief was on the hot seat Wednesday, the day after his officers used rubber bullets and batons to disperse an immigration reform rally. Chief William J. Bratton moved to investigate allegations his officers had used excessive force against the protesters in MacArthur Park Tuesday. Having seen video footage, Bratton, now facing calls for his dismissal, said he was "disturbed" by what he called "inappropriate" police action and expressed "regret" for what happened, the Los Angeles Times reported. Javier Rodriguez, a leader of the March 25th Coalition, called for the city police commission to reject Bratton's request for another five-year term. "We firmly believe that there was a decision to attack the crowd," Rodriguez said. "In any country other than the U.S., the man at the top would be fired." Police Commission President John Mack said he was confident in Bratton's ability to thoroughly investigate the matter but was unsure what impact it would have on the decision to give him another term. "That's something to think about," he said. Just hours before the park incident, 13 of the 15 city council members had endorsed Bratton for another term. The police commission takes up issue Tuesday.
