LOS ANGELES - The crowd near Los Angeles City Hall had by Sunday evening reached an uneasy detente with a line of grim-faced police officers. The LAPD officers gripped "less lethal" riot guns, which fire foam rounds that leave red welts and ugly bruises on anyone they hit. Demonstrators massed in downtown Los Angeles for the third straight day. Some were there to protest federal immigration sweeps across the county - others appeared set on wreaking havoc.
