The photo attached to this shows him getting arrested. He had a Palestinian flag that the police took away from him. They said he hit an officer on the helmet with it. If you witnessed what happened in the lead up to him getting arrested please help! He's being held on ,000 bail and doesn't have a lawyer. Please email me if you have any information.

Have you gotten in touch with the Lawyers Guild? They might be able to help.

"The Chapter does not have lawyers on staff, but from time to time its members will provide pro bono assistance to persons arrested during political protests. Requests should be made to the office"

i was as near to his arrest as any could legally. I saw no such thing. As far as i know, he was among the 80 who peacefully carried out civil disobedience. The LAPD disgusts me. They have used violence and force against peaceful protesters today, and are using lies against those under arrest. I am sickened and dissapointed. All those on the right-wing take note: your civil liberties are gone, and we have been overrun by a fascist, out-of-control government

I saw the entire thing and from what I could tell, he was stuck in-between two cars, a cop on a horse and people and therefor could not "move" when he was told, and then the cop on the horse HIT him with his huge stick! The man did nothing to the police officer ont he horse. I have pictures, but they came out shitty :(

Let this guy sit and rot.

He should know better than to fuck with the LAPD.

He's probably getting butt raped by a jewish inmate right now.

everyone of you unemployed, liberal, desensitized fags need to wake the hell up. love this country or leave it.

if you like saddam so much, i'm sure he'd welcome all of you with open arms... in fact, i just heard that he has a few openings in his rape chambers if any of you are interested...

let me know when you're gone, so we can throw a big party... and... psst!.. BUSH ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE, MY LITTLE PRITTIES! HE'S A LOCK FOR RE-ELECTION, BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TO THE UNITED STATES THAN WEST OF THE ROCKIES!

GW Bush 2004 BABY!

Keep your pussy signs....North Korea is next.

Or maybe you are....

to the LAPD public relations division, I'll see if they like your support of police brutality. Maybe they can trace your shit and we'll let them sic Eschelon on you for a minute. I've spoken to officers who abhore police brutality. And I've been arrested by those who practice it in everything they do. If the cops don't protect us, we should fire them. They are violating the law. They should be in jail too. It's about time we demanded it. Bad cops ruin it for everybody else. The police began their history protecting protesters. They must be forced to renew their vow to do so. To the Supreme Court you go Moises! As for police hate crime advocate, I'm calling James Hahn on you.

Did I miss something? this guy does not look like he is being mistreated. In fact I would say that the officer is being rather gentle with him. Regarding the officers lieing about being assaulted, why would they do that. That means more paperwork, more heartaches, more grilling by the attorneys. Speaking of attorneys, why would he need someone to help him out with an attorney, we will all be paying for his attorney, which is guaranteed.

He tried to jam his pole in the cops ear and when he was refused he bopped the cop on the head.

the homophobia and anti-semitism by the LAPD cheerleaders above is sick; but then should we be surprised when nazi fascists are taking over our city and country

Love it or leave it, sister.

I just love being a simple-minded redneck. I was trained by Fuhrer Bush.

just where does anything in this posting indicate that the lapd is either homophobic and anti-semitic. stay on task. stay with the facts.

And stay with FOX.
