Sucks how you were treated Omar. But I would question why no mention of the people who were pepper sprayed over the weekend, no mention of the activist who was arrested for no reason, kept in the cells for over 24 hours and then released with no charge (and scratches and bruises for his troubles) and no mention of the number of activists who were hurt by the cops during the Monday protest.
Yeah, cops treated you like shit, no doubt. But you didn't get the worst of it, so I think its pretty silly that you act like you did. Not to mention the fact that you've only got yourself to blame for the incident you were arrested for.
