The demonstrations were organized by The Coalition For Justice Against Police Murder. The rally formed into a march on the Rampart police station where speeches, testimonials and grass roots organizing techniques were given from the steps without police interference.  <br>  <br>   The crowd was small, orderly and diverse. The police presence for the entire protest was absent which gave it a spontaneous and genuine feel. <br>  <br>   At the events closing the group petitioned the station supervisor by entering the facility and gently but affirmatively demanding investigative action on various deaths that allegedly were caused by LAPD misconduct.  <br>  <br>   The November 11th death of  Donte Story was prominent in the discussion. Story was shot by police officers who allegedly mistook his cell phone for a gun. His family was notified 24 hours later. <br>  <br>   The entire protest was conducted in a respectful and highly civilized manner. All parties emerged from the rally, march and encounter peacefully. <br><br> rlowden <br>  <br> Los
