Los Angeles Chief Says Inappropriate Force Used During Rally


Los Angeles' police chief said Wednesday some officers used inappropriate force when they fired rubber bullets into crowds that included children and wielded batons against demonstrators in an incident that marred an otherwise peaceful day of immigration rallies across the United States.

News footage aired Wednesday of the events from the day before showed police beating at least two television camera operators and shoving people who were walking away from officers. They also showed injuries from the rubber bullets, including images of a Hispanic man with a bleeding welt on his stomach.
