Mark (aka panasonicyouth) has posted his account of what happened yesterday from the point of his arrest until he was bailed out many hours later. It’s crazy and worth the read…

“…After being handcuffed, we were placed in the back of an umarked police car that immediately headed to the “field jail” near the Veterans Center on Wilshire Blvd. On the ride over, the two officers up front chatted us up about the protest and the similar one that took place the night before. Nearly 25 minutes after being arrested, we were finally read our Miranda rights while sitting in the car. We were not told definitively why we were being arrested. The two officers who transported us (Officer Stoughton and Officer Whitney) were kind of left in the dark about why we were detained. We were told, “It looks like you’re being held for ‘unruly behavior’ for now.” We were not told anything else…

…It was nearly an hour later that I was finally told what I was being charged with: battery on a peace officer…”

His story is online now, go read it for yourself.
