There is no way that I can do justice to this in four paragraphs. I urge you to go to the link and read the whole article.

Marblehead minister responds to Sheriff Joe’s pardon

The garage doors were raised and Arpaio’s officers, in full swat gear, came out and dragged in the first row. Next they came for us. There was no time to stand and comply with the arrest process. We were quite intentionally dragged.

*****

We were brought inside the large garage and cuffed. The doors shut again. Before too long, the doors raised again and they brought in more people, including members of the press and legal observers – people who were not protesting, merely witnessing.

At one point a young man was pulled in by two officers while yelling “I am not resisting arrest. I am not resisting arrest.” I watched as they dragged him behind several vans holding other protesters. I next saw him 10 minutes later. He had been severely beaten. As he began to lose consciousness while waiting to be booked, an officer grabbed him by the hair, slammed his head against the wall and called him a baby.

*****

Sadly this was not the only act of violence my colleagues and/or I witnessed that night. One of the Latina women endured racial slurs while being arrested. Another Latina had her face slammed against the window of a cell containing fellow clergy protesters. They watched as her blood streamed down the window.
