PASADENA - Eighteen protesters
have accused Pasadena cops of physically abusing and assaulting them outside a
lecture by former Mexican President Vicente Fox at the Pasadena Civic Center
last November. The claims allege that at least 11 Pasadena cops used excessive
force against a group, which included children. The group was protesting
legally and peacefully across the street after police had blocked the front of
the civic auditorium.
