AFTRA SEES RED OVER LA POLICE 'BRUTALITY'
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, the union representing media workers, has issued a list of questions it wants answered and actions taken in the wake of the L.A. police's attacks on media workers during the MacArthur Park May 1 demonstration on immigration. Those include a public acknowledgment of wrongdoing by the mayor and police, ongoing training for police, and money. The police have conceded it was an overreaction and have reportedly taken some disciplinary steps.
