Forum Post: NECN reports that 100 Occupy Boston protestors have been arrested. Donations for legal defense can be made here. We estimate we'll need at least $4,000.

John Nilles, 74, a Marine from Medford who served in Vietnam and is a member of the group, Veterans for Peace, said he was knocked down during the arrests.
He believes he did not get arrested in the chaos because he got knocked down, and banged up his knee.
“I have absolutely no use for police anymore,” he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

I heard a rumor of the Boston police beating some of the Veterans that showed up. Any one know any thing about it and if it's true or not ?
