Brewpub co-owner in ICU after Oakland PD beating
This news broke last week so admittedly a little late on it…
Kayvan Sabeghi, one of the three main partners who started the popular Elevation 66 brewpub in El Cerrito, suffered a lacerated spleen and other injuries in a beating by police on duty for the Occupy Oakland protests Wednesday night, according to the UK Guardian newspaper and one of Sabeghi’s partners.

Man….from what I’ve seen the past few weeks, the Oakland police are outta control…
A lacerated spleen!? are you kidding me!? How is that remotely warranted?
The police are outta control??????? Are you kidding me?
All power of the government is derived via force. Don’t think so break one of the millions of laws on the books, or simply give a bad impression to the wrong person. Anything… ANYTHING a citizen/subject does which the govt. doesn’t like will be met by force, period. If you don’t pay the fine for the offense you’re charged with, you’ll be met with force. Don’t pay the proper amount of taxes, you’ll be forced into jail, off your property, etc. They are now called law enforcement officers rather than peace officers for a reason.
