Homeless activist Ted Hayes is decrying LAPD's treatment of anti-illegal immimgrant protesters at Leimert Park over the weekend. He was angered because officers would not allow him into the park where pro-immigrant demonstrators stood in opposition. Cops broke up the standoff.


Hayes and four of his supporters were arrested for resisting a peace officer. They had been denouncing undocumented immigrants' impact on the African-American community.


On Tuesday, he and half-dozen supporters told the city's civilian Police Commission that their civil rights were violated and demanded a full investigation. The commission's president and former head of the Los Angeles Urban League John Mack promised to take the matter up at this Tuesday's meeting.
