POLICE BRUTALITY - Iraq War Veteran Attacked & Beaten By Cops At Occupy Oakland Protest

OAKLAND (AP) — A friend of the second Iraq war veteran hospitalized after getting hurt at an Occupy Oakland protest said the man wasn't participating in the demonstration when he was injured and arrested.

Esther Goodstal said her friend and business partner Kayvan Sabeghi was only trying to get home when he was beaten by police.

An Oakland police spokesman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Saturday.

A Highland Hospital spokesman said the 32-year-old Sabeghi is in fair condition. Goodstal said Sabeghi had to undergo surgery for a lacerated spleen.

She said Sabeghi was walking home in west Oakland sometime late Wednesday or early Thursday when he encountered a line of police at the protest who wouldn't let him through. She said Sabeghi told her he tried to explain his situation and officers began hitting him with batons.

Records show Sabeghi was then booked on suspicion of resisting arrest. He was one of more than 100 people arrested by 3 p.m. Thursday

When they say "to protect and to serve," they don't mean us.

@theresistance45 There are no good cops. If there were any good ones, there would be no bad ones! They're cops and they have the responsibility to call out corruption within their ranks...they don't!

@smallyb2009 American Zionist hillbie am i. Im British with am Irish mother. Like i say dont just pressume because someone dosnt like the biased cr*p you come out with.

Merry Christmass and may you and yours have a great new year.

@smallyb2009 Get off you moral high horse and look at the world with open eyes instead of the obviously biased view you have of it. Heres something for you.

IRISH people are more at risk of assault, burglary, theft and sexual attack.

A new EU-wide survey has confirmed Ireland has one of the highest crime rates in the EU. The International Crime Survey was conducted in the 15 pre-accession EU countries, plus Poland, Estonia and Hungary. Doesnt mean i think your all rapists.

@smallyb2009 Dont be so presumptuos, There are unfortunatlly rapes and murders commited on a daily basis. Just because a bad egg in an otherwise professional fighting force commits such a crime, dosnt mean the rest of the armed forces are the same. The armed forces are only a reflection of the society it recruets. A little fact for you 1 in six American Women have been raped. So what should i presume, that all american men are rapist. No, Because i understand that no everyone is the same.

[smallyb2009]

@djjk26;You want facts?An american soldier by the name of stephen green raped a 14 year old Iraqi girl along with some of his psychotic buddies,When they finished they murdered the young girl & her entire family,Now i suppose you,ll do the usuall american thing when your shown [FACTS] & claim this was an isolated incident,Right?Its amazing that inbred hillbillies like you continue to claim your not brainwashed while you continue to spew whatever bullshit your zionist leaders tell you.

[djjk26]

@smallyb2009 I hate it when peolpe like you come out with the kind of speclative accusations of soliders killing and treating innocents in the ways that you descibe. How do you know personally that that happens, where you there, did you stand by and let them do it, did you allow them to rape and torture some poor innocent child, while you stood there and tuted and say "yep thats what soliders do" Or more likely you base you accusations on opinion and hear say of others rather than the truth.

[smallyb2009]

Whats the big deal,This guy went to Iraq with his psychotic buddies & murdered innocent Men Women & Children while pretending to be "Fighting for freedom"He used nuclear weapons that caused Iraqi babies to be born with severe deformities,He probably tortured & raped some innocent Iraqi,s,Now he wants sympathy because he was treated the same way as he treated innocent civilians in Iraq the only difference being he was,nt murdered by his aggressers.Ahhhhhh everybody say ahhhhhh.
