The investigation centered on the departments in Antioch and Pittsburg, two cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Only three of the officers remain employed by the departments and were not on active duty, officials said.

Arrest warrants were served Thursday in California, Texas and Hawaii, said Robert Tripp, special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Francisco Field Office. One has not yet been arrested, officials said.

Morteza Amiri, Eric Allen Rombough, Patrick Berhan, Samantha Peterson, Brauli Rodriguez Jalapa and Ernesto Juan Mejia-Orozco pleaded not guilty to various charges, and most were released on condition that they posted property bonds, the Bay Area News Group reported.

Charges against Amiri, Rombough and Devon Christopher Wenger say the three Antioch police officers conspired between February 2019 and March 2022 “to injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate residents of Antioch, California” and later falsified reports about the encounters.

In obscenity-laden text messages, the three men referred to some suspects as “gorillas.” They laughed and joked about harming people who apparently had surrendered or appeared to be asleep by setting Amiri's police dog on them or Rombough shooting them with a 40mm "less-lethal" projectile launcher, the indictment said.

Prosecutors say from 2019 to 2021, the dog bit 28 people while Rombough used the launcher 11 times in 2020 and 2021.

Amiri posted graphic photos of the dog wounds, and Rombough said he was keeping the projectiles to make a trophy flag, according to the indictment.

In one case, a man suspected of five armed robberies had given up and was lying on the ground when Amiri’s K-9 bit him, the indictment alleged.

In one text, Amiri wrote: “let’s (f-obscenity) some people up next work week.”

Amiri says that he will find some action and write up the police report, adding: "Just come over and crush some skulls."

In one 2020 text sequence, Amiri says that he confronted a transient he believed had stolen his mail “and dragged him to the back of a car to ‘discuss’ the matter.”

“Lol. Putting a pistol in someone’s mouth and telling them to stop stealing isn’t illegal," he texted. "It’s an act of public service to prevent further victims of crimes”

He attended the University of California, Berkeley, and is fluent in English and Farsi, the profile states.

A search of property records showed Mr Momeni owns an apartment at 4053 Harlan St in Emeryville that he purchased for $525,000 in 2020.

Mr Momeni was reportedly arrested at the address in Emeryville at around 5am.

The man donned a blue shirt with the Superman logo emblazoned on the front with separate messages printed on the front and back.

On the front of his shirt the message read “Save Ukraine” while on the back was “Respect for Iranian Women.”

The man waved a rainbow flag as he made his way across the pitch before he was ultimately stopped by security.

He dropped the flag on the pitch as he was escorted off with the referee (Alireza Faghani) having to pick it up and take it to the sidelines.

 Sabet has Iranian-Korean roots. He graduated from Boston College from 1987 to 1991, earned his bachelor’s degree there, and is currently a member of that school’s board of trustees.

– Lives in suburban Boston. He is married and has three children.

– Sabet has been investing in Internet companies for almost two decades. Since 2008 he has been a shareholder of the then still little-known Internet social network Twitter, and from the same year he also served on its board of directors until 2011. During this period, among other things, it rejected an offer from rival Facebook to buy Twitter worth $500 million. For this reason, Forbes magazine called him a “prudent investor” in 2017.

– Sabet is a regular contributor to the Democratic Party, to which he has previously donated thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

A high-ranking Twitter staffer who was fired while on paternity leave says he's 'disappointed' but hopes that Twitter's 'best days are still ahead of it' as Elon Musk finalizes his $44 billion takeover.

Head of consumer product Kayvon Beykpour was fired on Thursday as Musk cracks the whip following his purchase of the social media giant.

'The truth is that this isn't how and when I imagined leaving Twitter, and this wasn't my decision. [CEO] Parag [Agrawal] asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction,' Beykpour said.

The Stanford graduate - who joined the company in 2015 - said little about Musk's plans for the future.

He praised his team for their work on new products and safety controls as worried workers wonder if Musk will roll back the site's extensive content moderation apparatus.

'I'm proud that we changed the perception around Twitter's pace of innovation, and proud that we shifted the culture internally to make bigger bets, move faster, and eliminate sacred cows,' said the ousted Iranian-American tech executive.

General manager for revenue Bruce Falck has also been unceremoniously axed after the billionaire's buyout.

I study star formation, gas, and dust properties of distant galaxies that are only 3 to 5 billion years after the Big Bang (redshift of z~1-3). I use ground-based observatories, Keck, LBT, VLT, and ALMA, and space telescopes, Hubble, Spitzer, Herschel, and soon JWST, to study how galaxies form and evolve throughout cosmic time.

I was born and raised in Tehran, ​​capital of Iran, the city that never sleeps and has four seasons throughout the year, including snow in winter (yes, not all of Iran is a desert!). I got my Bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Tehran in 2011, and moved to the US to continue my graduate studies. At the University of California at Riverside, I received an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and graduated with a Ph.D. in Physics in September 2017 (advisor: Naveen Reddy). I was a NASA Hubble fellow from 2018-2021 at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.

​Aside from research, I am very proud of the two astronomy outreach initiatives that I started: Staryab educational astronomy website in Persian, and the MESCIT math tutoring and mentorship program. Click on the links on the right to learn more about my outreach activities.

Recently, my work has been highlighted on the University of Arizona Postdoctoral Association, check it out here.

​Other than research and outreach, I love reading and traveling to learn about different cultures and explore the wonders of our planet, like Antarctica!
