PASADENA - Eighteen protesters have accused Pasadena cops

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.
