UPDATE: We just received an e-mail that points out the building behind the men in this picture is the Los Angeles Times Building in Los Angeles, CA right across from city hall.

UPDATE 5/10/2010: please do not post or circulate the protest sign that reads "We will shoot more police in Arizona till we get free?" We cannot prove that is a fake, but several of our supporting activists feel the picture is a hoax and has been altered. You can see our full discussions here and make your own determination. Our ruling is that the sign is problematic and we cannot document a source, therefore it should not be further circulated.

Friends of ALIPAC,

We have been working through the night trying to determine if the picture we received several copies of is real or a forged parody.

This picture is already going viral on the Internet and we cannot track it back to a source yet. The picture does not obviously appear to be altered and rumors online claim the picture was taken by police in Phoenix, Arizona during the pro Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty marches on May 1, 2010.

However, if this picture is a hoax then we want to get that information out there as soon as possible to clear things up for those circulating the picture already.

We are putting this e-mail alert and picture out there and sending copies to Snopes in the hopes that we can determine who took this picture or who made this picture.

We are also sending this picture to our media list with requests for assistance determining if this picture is authentic or a hoax.

The sign reads "Health care jobs no-taxes house food you owe us America! We will shoot more police in Arizona till we get free!





We will update everyone if we can make a determination.

If you have any opinions or information about this picture, or if you can help us track the source, please post at this link...
