I posted 72 images of the Great American Boycott march to L.A. City Hall, along with a video clip of 100 mariachis playing "Viva Mexico" to the crowd of 300,000 to 400,000.

Here are some video clips from LA today, including footage of police beating protestors in MacArthur Park. I just got back to my office about 30 minutesago, which is directly next to MacArthur Park, the main site for the LA Immigration/May Day Protests. This began around 8:50PM and I managed to score some pretty intense footage on my phone. The quality isn't stellar, but it is more than enough to see the brutality with which the LAPD used on innocent, peaceful protestors.
