Remember this angering video where a local video blogger documented the 2007 Immigration March that went from happy and free-spirited to LAPD officers terrorizing everyone by spraying rubber bullets into the crowds and taking batons to reporters? Today, the LA City Council approved $12.85 million to settle nine lawsuits against the city, but that's not the end of it as there were 27 lawsuits. Also, this not the only recent LAPD settlement the LA Times reports: "The settlement of the May Day cases comes on the heels of the council’s approval last week of a $20.5-million payout to four current and former police officers who claimed they were falsely arrested and mistreated in the wake of the scandal involving the police department's Rampart Division."

This whole situation is f**k'd up. The taxpayers end up being the real victims of this situation.
I was there. I do agree with some sort of compensation, but this is WAY to much.
Thanks for being community oriented LAPD!
Terrible.
If the victims were citizens then they deserve compensation. But, when idiots like mexican gang banger Villainrosa enocurage illegal aliens to protest, the only reward should be deportation. You do not get rewarded when you are engaged in criminal activity. Last time I check, the definition of illegal means that act is criminal.
