Los Angeles Residents Protest Police Killings of Omar Abrego, Ezell Ford 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Los Angeles, residents have mobilized around the case of Omar Abrego,
who witnesses say was beaten by police for 10 minutes before he died, as
well as the case of Ezell Ford, whose family says he was unarmed and
lying on the ground when he was shot dead by police. Residents marched
in Los Angeles Thursday as part of a National Day of Rage against police
brutality and in solidarity with Ferguson.

Troy Isaac: "Because officers that are killing people that have no guns,
that are illegal to do, they should go to jail just like everybody else
should go to jail. And it's not fair for them not to be in jail, while
we're out here protesting. They should be in jail."
