Via this comes the following report from a pro-illegal immigration protester. Contrasting with the video of the LAPD beating up a camerawoman, it shows the LAPD with some restraint and it also shows some demonstrators hanging back to taunt the cops. In one case one is brandishing a long stick. Not exactly a deadly weapon, but what's shown on the video has not as far as I know been mentioned by the Triumverate of Loons (Villaraigosa, Bratton, and Mahony).
