Video: LAPD officer smacked by May Day protester


Some dude was caught on camera whacking an officer on the helmet with a drum during Tuesday's protest in Downtown. Pretty amazing that none of the other LAPD cops on the scene saw him. But the video shot of the whacker's face is pretty clear. He probably should be looking for a lawyer, and maybe somebody to hold his stuff for a few years. The LAPD is asking the public's help in identifying the attacker, and says the officer went to the hospital for evaluation and has a concussion. Her name has not been released.
