The Tucson Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a female protester who kicked an officer in the face during the April 10 pro-immigration rally.

After closely reviewing video footage from the rally, police have been able to single out the female who they say intentionally kicked Officer Nathan A. Tullgren, 26, as he was on the ground making an arrest, said

Tucson police Chief of Staff Capt. Brett Klein on Friday.

Police say she could face a charge of aggravated assault on a peace officer.

According to Klein, Tullgren had just pulled a male off of another officer's back when he took the male down to the ground.

The woman, who is in her late teens to early 20s, then kicked Tullgren in the face, knocking off his hat.

After she kicked Tullgren, Officer Douglas C. Musick pushed the young woman away to prevent her from further injuring the officer and she fell over a bicycle, a police report stated.

She ran into the crowd before she could be arrested.

She was wearing a black or navy blue hooded sweatshirt, jeans, a black messenger bag and black-and-white Chuck Taylor Converse shoes.

At times, she had a red Che Guevara flag draped over her shoulders. She has black hair and a lip ring on her lower lip.

Meanwhile, the Tucson Police Officers Association said officers performed their jobs properly during the rally and a smaller counterprotest where a Mexican flag was burned.

Officers had to use pepper spray and arrested six people after protesters became angered by the burning of the flag. A man who is accused of burning the Mexican flag was arrested the following day.

Organizers of the pro-immigration rally and march have accused the officers of using excessive force and failing to perform their jobs. They have asked that an independent investigation be conducted into how police handled the rally and counterprotest.

Two reports this week by the Police Department said officers' actions, including several instances where force was used, were justifiable.

Now why would a law abiding innocent protester, just wanting to become an American, attack a police officer like that?

Uncivilized third world savages are being forced for the first time in their lives to act in a civilized manner and are not used to it. Too bad the hapless and clueless Administration doesn't see this coming from "wonderful immigrants" who are here to do the jobs we gringos won't do (sarcasm). This is the crap this admin istration and congress are trying to force down our throats. That is why, being an American Jew I am looking at Israeli citizenship. The last thing this country, which is a technological and military powerhouse with an educated population needs is integration with savage, uneducated third world fruit and vegetable pickers.

Can you believe this? I thought these were just poor Mexican citizens wanting to do the jobs that "we" Americans won't do! I would never have believed they were capable of this assult on a policeman, Do we really need 12 to 30 million people like this Mr. President?

Me neither. There's something wrong with this story. These "good-hearted folks" would never skirt the law or act violent in any way.

After all, they're just here to do the jobs Americans don't want to do AND WON'T DO! ... in this case, you won't hear of an American kicking an officer in the face. We know to respect and obey the law and the lawmen.

She was just doing a job Americans won't do.

To quote Lou Dobbs, HOW DUMB DO YOU THINK WE ARE, MR. PRESIDENT? - no one was ever dumb enough to believe your line about "doing jobs Americans won't do."
