LA to Pay $500,000 to Journalists Beaten at May 2007 Protest
------------------------------------------------------------



The Los Angeles City Council has approved spending $500,000 to settle a
series of lawsuits filed by journalists who were injured when police
violently crushed an immigrant rights rally on May Day in 2007. The city
has already paid out $13 million to settle other lawsuits stemming from
the protest.
