n LAPD officer was injured and several demonstrators were arrested at an anti-illegal immigration protest Saturday evening in Hollywood.
LAPD spokesperson Sandra Escalante says the female officer apparently hurt her ankle while clashing with protesters.
Escalante said "several" arrests were made.
The rally, attended by various anti-illegal immigration groups, took place at Hollywood Boulevard and Argyle Avenue. The crowd was estimated at about 200.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Lots of Red, White, and Blue--so pretty.
What is with the flag draped coffin? I'm a bit fed up with the Vets for Peace doing that so I was rather shocked to see that at this rally.
"anti-illegal immigration protest"
hmmm.......something about that wording.....
What kind of flag is that guy holding who's wearing the "Ranger" shirt? yellow stars?

You guys do great work.
Even if they had no signs, you can always tell the leftie side of the street.
How nice, the American Flag is on the ground.
But I wish Ted Hayes wouldn't wear it like that...
Where's the video? And who hurt the cop?
I noticed that too. I'm not so informed on flag protocol. Is that considered a no, no.
I'm thinking that's the group with which the scuffle occurred resulting in the police officer's injury.
Too bad the headline wasn't about the "illegal anti-illegal illegal alien" rally. It's amazing into what knots the MSM ties itself. MSM - deadmen walking. They can't fall over and rot in hell soon enough.
Great pics. Thank you so much for posting them :)
Hope the cop will be okay.
Of course the cop was inured trying to control he leftists.
When the Freepers held a march in Nov 2000 for Bush in downtown SF, we had the cops thanking us! They said they wished every group was as well behaved as we were. We gave them three cheers when we were done.
Yes, pretty much....especially in the fairly intact flag design he's sporting.....personally, I wouldn't wear a shirt like that.
Those are some great pix, Ladycalif. What make & model camera did you use?
BTW, it's not surprising the the CBS station would try to give the impression that the Minutemen were responsible for the policewoman's injury, when it was the counter protesters who caused it.
The Americans always look so normal and the lefties always look so . . . scummy.
"What kind of flag is that guy holding who's wearing the "Ranger" shirt? yellow stars?"
It is a reproduction of a United States Cavalry Guidon from the American Civil War period.
Thanks. I tried to look it up too.

Also, from what I can tell, the flag draped over the coffin is not in the correct presentation.
I figured as much. The story I read was rather vague--saying they didn't know which side caused the injury.
Yeah, it was pretty much a rhetorical question. I figured there might have been some even nastier pro-illegal types somewhere, that no one got any pictures of.
When we did our protest of Hillary's book signing a few years ago, I think the cops were really surprised when I walked up and told them what was going on, how we were approaching it, etc. They really appreciated it.
Thanks for the tagline inspiration.

You mean the cops don't appreciate these San Fran protesters?
big time "no no". Of course the criminal illegal alien border violator crowd does not care about American law and "demands" AMNESTY after breaking the law. It permeates everything they do. Including dragging this nations flag around in the dirt. It's all those much touted "family values" and all the other lies.
Watch the video on the linked web page at the top. That's what caused me to reach that conclusion. I wasn't there.
That jumped out at me, too. Good choice.
hmmm.......something about that wording.....
Well, usually the left-stream media would just call it an "anti-immigration protest", so I guess it's an improvement.
I'm just curious... what's with all the upside-down flags? Who's waving those and why?
"How nice, the American Flag is on the ground."
That's symbolic of what these people want to do to America. And I live in an age when we sit a let these traitors run around loose. "Free Speech". I think they call it.
Way to go MMP!
The symbol of a nation in distress...Alan Keyes used to wear a flag pin upside-down on his lapel as an indicator of that distress.
FYI
Thanks, I always interpreted that as a symbol of disrespect. Now I know.
Thanks for the pics.
I noticed that there was not ONE American flag in the antiAmerica crowd.
Telling.
So true... Bares repeating.
Absolutely NOT a symbol of disrespect.
Looks like more than that to me.
It also doesn't look much like the sort of crowd that would be scuffling with the police. Were their counter demonstrators? (Pro illegals). Who was arrested?
Yeah, it's pretty clear from viewing the video who was fighting with the police.
Minuteman BUMP!
Police officers scuffle with counter protesters at a Minuteman rally in Hollywood.
So - was the female officer hurt clashing with the ANti-Illegal protestors or with another group? The article is rather limited in info on that regard (imagine that!).
