A report has come in today:

A man named Justin James Bridges, musician (link to music page) and ASL translator for Occupy Portland’s General Assembly, was assaulted by the police today during the camp clean out.

He was beat repeatedly in the back and has now lost use of his right arm. Cops had him on the ground and he was being submissively complyiant as they continued to beat him with clubs in the back until his eye rolled back in his head. Fellow protesters thought he was dead. He is now in critical care.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE… DO NOT HESITATE TO COME FORWARD.
