COMMENTS: Making a Federal Case Out Of It
The fallout from the violence in MacArthur Park by Los Angeles' riot police after the May Day pro-immigration parade continued. Now the FBI is involved, checking whether the marchers' civil rights were abused. NBC's Peter Alexander quoted Chief of Police William Bratton's personal apology to Pedro Sevcec, anchor of NBC's Spanish news on Telemundo: "Unexplainable. I do not have an answer at this time. I was very shocked at the video when I first saw it." TV camerawoman Patti Ballaz of KTTV has filed a lawsuit against the police for assaulting her. She told CBS' Bill Whitaker what one cop said to her before she was knocked over: "Let us do double time because it is tussle time." Then he laughed at her, Ballaz recalled.
