not in LA...but in Portland (where there were upwards of 2500 plus), the police behaved like gestapo with their riot gear and pepper-spraying indiscriminantly, including young children and an infant (for real accounts of what went on, go to http://www.indymedia.org and go to the Portland link). it was a peaceful protest until the police ran amok. btw...the LA news reports were ridiculous as usual...saying there were a "few dozen protesters" in Westwood....excuse me? there were more like 300 plus! i was there. it makes the corporate media look like idiots when your average person drives by, sees the crowd, goes home and watches the false reporting.
