Chief Bratton and mayor Villaraigosa again have tried to mollify an ourtraged city by the tough and brutal repression on May 1st demonstrators in MacArthur park in the heart of the city.
The chief of police and the mayor have come forth to hail another investigation that will delve deeply into the actions taken by members of the Los Angeles Police Department on peaceable law abiding demonstrators who had a permit to be on the premises.
Again, the actions taken by the chielf and the mayor are cheap and utter nonsense. I call mayor Villaraigosa "Mr. Investigator" for the countless number of investigations that he has claimed to have launched since the start of his administration in the fair city of the angels.
I know that for the mayor, investigations are the chief tool of his administration to keep order in the city, because he knows fully well that he is powerless to do anything other than fill pot holes, and give a big smile. My argument is that this new investigation will result in nothing, and is only intended to give the city time to forget this incident and move on with the business of the city.
