LA Reportedly to Pay $13 Million for LAPD Abuse of Immigration Protesters

The L.A. Times reports that “The city of Los Angeles would pay nearly $13 million to immigration protesters and bystanders injured by Los Angeles police officers during a melee at MacArthur Park [in May 2007], according to sources familiar with a tentative settlement reached by both sides. If approved, it would mark one of the largest payouts ever made to resolve LAPD misconduct. Further payouts are likely to journalists who also sued . . . .”
