Gregory Brice, Occupy L.A. Protester, Sentenced to 19 Months In Jail

According to prosecutors, Brice shoved a security guard to get into the Bank of America Plaza protest, then ran at a line of officers. When the officers attempted to arrest him, he threw punches and hit one cop in the face. As the cops took him to the ground, he continued to kick and punch the officers.

“He felt he was doing the right thing at that moment. They were there for a cause,” said Brice’s attorney, Nagmeh Shariatmadar. “He was hoping the jury would be on his side and they weren’t.”
