Me and my wife went to downtown LA to take some pictures of the Labor Day's Protest. I had a brushing incident with the cops when they tried to disperse the crowd and I saw one of the old man tripped and knocked his head on the ground. One other guy and myself tried to help him since he was unconscious but we were both forced to move out by the cops by shoving us. I have to leave the old man on the ground. If my wife was not with me, I will probably be still with the protesters at Wilshire.

This was taken today near the L.A. City Hall just before the dispersal. The demonstration for the illegal aliens was peaceful in general before this incident.

See Day of Protest - May 1, 2006 for more pictures.

    Excellent photography. I hate the militarisation of the police in the USA. Thank you for documenting the rise of the New World Order.

    Oh how this brings back memories. Reminds me so much why I left dirty California behind and have not returned since.

    outstanding. Something you would expect to see on the cover of the news magazine. Good work.

    Very good capture. Do hope US can become less of a police state.
