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.

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.
