LA Police: Always Classy
After being stripped of their rights by a popular vote (isn't there something in our Constitution about majority rule with protection of minority rights? Perhaps I am simply delusional.), demonstrators against the passage of Proposition 8 in California are attacked by LA police. I wish BBC had more context for this video, perhaps someone who is better at internet investigating can find a more fleshed out story:

These images are all too disturbingly familiar.

I am so upset about this Prop 8 situation. Love is a RIGHT - NOT a privilege!
I'm a college student in NYC - anyone know of anything I can do over here to help this cause? I'd like to get some of my organizations at school involved perhaps. Thanks.
I just saw that video a couple of minutes ago and it literally made me sick to my stomach.
What kind of recourse is available? Both for the prop, and for the (I'm making that assumption) victimized protester(s)?
