Apparently loyalty is a one-way street to the Establishment. Even people who put their bodies on the line fighting the rulers' wars for them are subject to maiming and even death if they dare to exercise "the freedoms they fought to defend." (What a piece of propaganda mythology that is!)
Not satisfied with damaging the brain of Marine vet Scott Olsen a week ago (2 tours in Iraq) and leaving him unable to speak, they just brutally clubbed another veteran so badly that his spleen is lacerated, reports the UK Guardian. He needs surgery to repair it and to staunch internal bleeding.

The police imprisoned their victim, Kayvan Sabehgi, for 19 hours afterward so they could sadistically enjoy his suffering, apparently, and "teach him a lesson" (don't get involved in protesting, being the Syrian-style lesson, as Sabehgi was walking away from the protest at the time he was attacked by a gang of state goons). Sabehgi, who was posted to Iraq and Afghanistan, was eventually transferred to a hospital, where he's in intensive care.
AThe Oakland PD Chief has justified his thugs' assaults in the name of "health and safety" concerns and the lack of medical care for protesters (!). Is the man a cynical connoisseur of perverse irony? A cruel man who enjoys being sarcastic? Perhaps his sick statements add a fillip of mental cruelty to his repression, sort of the icing on the cake for him? Who knows...all that is clear is that he's the gangster head of a criminal organization trafficking in faux legitimacy as a "law enforcement agency."
