Gangsters in Blue

UPDATE: Naomi shared this information on the body of an email with the subject line, “Oakland, a Tale of Two Cities.” She said it could be added here. My intention is to help keep those interested updated about what’s going on with this positive community in Oakland.

One
They had this guy, saw the hurt people let him go on November 2nd, because “he wasn’t drunk” and still haven’t finished “investigation” or even claim to know who he is.

The city’s case is one woman who admits she’d been drinking and admits she didn’t SEE anyone with her wallet. Even went back to the store the next day to see if she had left it there. In first police report named the wrong guy,  another OO guy who looks like him and was out of town. Then went back to the Police station the next day to change her story and sign another statement that changed the name.

I’ve been sitting in at the preliminary hearing. It’s been fascinating. Dan Siegel (mayor Quan’s former legal advisor who quit because of the way she handled Occupy) is council to Nneka Crawford and he was almost arrested in the courtroom on Friday for saying something while the 8 or more  were throwing an occupier out of the room. Saved only by the judge. The bailiffs were just DYING to arrest. They seem pretty freaked out by the level of support for the 3. Can have about 20 or 30 occupiers in court at any given hearing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Siegel_(attorney)

I followed-up with Naomi who was kind enough to make time to do the write-up below. After which she emailed back and added:

one forgotten detail:

I used to be a billboard painter ~1983 – 1985. We always used a grid to map out our picture to the space. It’s been fun to bring this old skill that I learned from the “old school” guys in NY as an apprentice back into use so many years later.

Ah, now it makes sense. Notice the captions on a couple of the pictures below to see how is it’d be to could replicate in your area.

Despite the aggressive actions of some employed at Oakland police department, Dandelion and those active with Chalkupy at Occupy Oakland are an inspiring example of creativity, art, and love. Thanks much!

On the Origins of Chalkupy

Dandelion, fairy witch of Occupy Oakland (OO), is threatened with arrest for coloring while sitting on a public sidewalk.

It was another sunny day in downtown Oakland. Occupy friends were hanging out at the Plaza. It’s a little dirty since the city wants it that way, because it makes Occupy look dirty. The grass was a city-created mud-sea, so the only place to sit was on the perimeter on benches or on the pavers which is were Dandelion, a self-described “Fairy Witch” was sitting, drawing one of her magic symbols that she would bless and give to people.

Specifically, Dandelion was sitting on the pavers in the square on the C of the word OCCUPY which had been chalked onto the pavers by some unknown person (in, what many thought, was a very attractive way). At about 2pm on a Friday afternoon, the city showed up and by the city I mean a couple of officials, 2 guys with power washers and 6-8 cops there to clean the word OCCUPY and nothing else off of the pavers. The police cited hygiene as the reason, although a place 30 feet away where people urinate was “not scheduled for cleaning” that day. Although the power-washers were just sitting there, there was no way that they were going to clean the pee.

Dandelion was not inclined to move. She had her blanket down her crayons laid out and seemed quite comfortable where she was. As the growing numbers of officials collected in the background, the other letters (OCUPY) quickly filled-up with wheelchairs, jugglers, knitters, singers, chanters and other colorers. None seeming particularly inclined to move. Marsha was knitting her a scarf for her husband, Rasta, who was in jail for attempting to unload a portable toilet. Kids were running around playing. Bella and Matt were livestreaming, DJ Occupy, Enrique and Momo were free-styling, Pratibha was calmly questioning the police, Raven was quoting the classics while Dandelion described the current state of affairs as “The Grapes of Wrath 2.0.” The crime we were committing was “obstruction of public access.” Of course you could walk around us, you just couldn’t power-wash us because even the police admitted that that would be assault. A discussion ensued on how you call the police on the police but nobody was sure.

It wasn’t long before one of the power-washers left in disgust. The other guy seemed more inclined to earn his money as he sprayed around our feet but not on them although they did get a little wet. Finally, the police decided to arrest us if we didn’t move so we moved and the O, one C and the Y quickly disappeared. Dandelion was left sitting on the word CUP. In spite of her loss, still she refused to move. When asked if she understood the situation she remarked that although she had studied Political Science, Literature and Sociology that NO she did not.

note that colors of pavers to-be-painted is identified with a slash

She took down the Lawyer’s Guild number which everybody at OO has pretty much memorized by now and called her babysitter to let her know that she was being arrested for coloring, remarking that she was fortunate to be able to get arrested today since she had a babysitter. There she sat, in prayer, her red fuzzie coat around her shoulders, the sweetest, most innocent little criminal you could imagine. You could tell the police were starting to lose a little confidence. Meanwhile Pratibha and I had been making friends with the remaining sprayer who accepted our offering of a flower. It just so turned out that he was an artist himself so maybe he could relate after all. Once we had all made friends, he decided to give up too, and Dandelion, the word CUP were left unmolested to fight another day.

Since chalking is washable, it is not illegal and so from that day forth, we have continued to chalkupy on Friday afternoons. Every week the city washes our slate clean for us. Every week we are back with a new, provocative design. The next Friday it was an Anonymous mask followed by an OPD Brutality Badge, a Tipi, Oscar Grant and our last nod to Copblock.org‘s fantastic video about the shooting of former Marine Scott Olsen. [which included the text: "Go to CopBlock.org and click on the link: Who shot Scott Olsen? Who do you think?"]

Thanks to all those who contributed to this beautiful, spontaneous action: @BellaEiko, DJ Occupy, @MomtheRebel (Momo), @NinaNerdFace, Raven, Enrique, Matt, Pratibha, Naomi, Marsha, Dandelion, and others. Now we celebrate the anniversary of the original chalkupation every Friday afternoon at Oscar Grant Plaza, Oakland. Family friendly activity for the kids – they love it. We bring the chalk and music! Sometimes Captain America shows up. Sometimes two of him show up.

Unfortunately things are not all love and light at OO. Today we stand in solidarity with two of our friends who are now in jail awaiting much more serious false charges. Momo and Teardrop, are now both at Santa Rita – a horrible facility built to warehouse 4000 people while they await vindication, along with other members of OO who are still waiting for justice. Three OO members, including Teardrop are accused of an anti-gay hate crime and robbery. A turnout of about 50 self-professed “women, fags, dykes, queers and trans* people showed up at the courthouse today in solidarity for the three today claiming to have worked, cooked, slept and marched with these people and promising to be at court and ready with warm food when they are released.

Chalkupy at Occupy Oakland!! They’re AWESOME! is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

by Carlos Miller, via Photography is NOT a Crime:

There has been a lot of speculation as to why Miami-Dade Major Nancy Perez had me arrested in the aftermath of the Occupy Miami eviction on January 31.

Some believe she singled me out because she was familiar with my blog and wanted to teach me a lesson about writing negative (but true) stories about police officers.

I’m not sure if she’s that stupid, even though some of her co-workers believe she is not qualified to be a major.

But the fact that she is the one who most likely ordered my footage deleted not only shows a lack of intelligence, but that she is not worthy of her high rank or any of those commendations she so proudly wears on her uniform.

I’m speculating it might had something to do with the heated exchanged I had with officers in the above video where they were trying to block me for video recording the arrest of an activist. The video is not that clean, but I posted it like that to give readers a sense of the chaos at the time.

I didn’t notice her at the time because I had so many shields in front of me trying to block my shot, but I did see her as I was looking through my footage at home.

Maybe she didn’t appreciate that I would actually tell cops not to block my shot. Maybe she decided right then and there that I wasn’t a legitimate journalist because she believed no corporate journalist would dare bark at a cop.

Maybe she thought I was in cahoots with the activists because I was so deadset on recording the way they treated him as they shoved him in the paddy wagon (the five guys I spent the night in jail with gave me no reports on excessive physical abuse at the hands of police).

My exchange with the cops was pretty harmless, just me yelling at them to stop blocking my shot with perhaps a vulgarity or two thrown in, nothing that they haven’t heard before.

It all started after an activist who had been dancing in the street in front of marching police ended up getting arrested on felony inciting riot charges.

The activist then allowed his body to go limp, which forced the cops to have to pick him and carry him to the paddy wagon where incidentally, I later joined him.

The paddy wagon was parked on a street that had been closed off and a line of cops stood at the edge of the street ensuring nobody would enter.

I never tried to enter the street but I made several attempts to zoom in on the cops lifting him into the paddy wagon.

And several cops kept blocking my shot by positioning their bodies and shields in front of my camera.

It wasn’t much different than the incident that took place in New York City last year between an NYPD officer and a New York Times photographer, which prompted the Times to send an angry letter to police officials.

I yelled at them to stop doing that and eventually they stopped momentarily to allow me to get a clear shot, which I used in the video below for my Miami Beach 411 story.

And that was it. I was happy with my shot so I moved on. It was getting a little tense and crazy at that point, so I was ready for police to make more arrests.

About 15 minutes later as cops had forced the activists down another street, one cop yelled on his bull horn that everybody on the street was under arrest, which prompted the activists to scatter, as you can also see in the video below.

I remained on the scene because all the other journalists remained on the scene. I figured if they would arrest me, they would arrest all of us.

And then I noticed as they continued marching forward, they paid the media no mind, including me, as you can see in the video I recovered.

Their main objective was to clear the activists from the street and they did just that.

But as I was walking back to my car, Perez stopped me and had me arrested, telling me I had failed to disperse after having received an order.

This is where Perez, a media spokeswoman, a woman whose job is to shine a positive light on the police department, shows she is not the smartest of the bunch.

After all, she never once asked if I was a journalist.

I had a still camera and a video camera slung across by body and both had strobes. I was also wearing headphones and was carrying a photo back pack containing my lenses.

It was obvious to the other cops that I was part of the media, even to the ones I had yelled at to get out of my shot.

But it wasn’t obvious to the department’s public information officer.

Or maybe it was.

Maybe she really is just that stupid.

Maybe This Is Why Miami-Dade Police Major Nancy Perez Had Me Arrested is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

Thirty-one days ago individuals gathered in a lower Manhattan urban park to express their disillusionment with the Statist Quo. Initially ignored by the lamestream media, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement has spread to over 1,000 cities worldwide and can no longer be ignored. And (at least for now) it’s decentralized, which means potential for the spread of new and better ideas.

A couple of weeks ago, Cop Block teamed-up with Strike The Root, Freedoms Phoenix and Liberty On Tour to share ideas through the “Occupy Wall Street: Strike The Root!” video contest.

The goal was to communicate a consistent, rights-respecting and prosperity-maximizing framework to individuals on the ground with OWS so they could grasp how the “99%” was arrived at and positive next-steps. In other words, to replace the bad idea of looking to someone else as a leader (and thus granting them the “right” do engage in things wrong for me or you) with the good idea of self-ownership (and with it freedom and responsibility).

Thanks to the sponsoring organizations listed above and a donation by Blake Thessing $400 was up for grabs. I did my best to promote the video contest and had was told from some that they planned to submit videos but in the end, we got only one video submission, from Drew Phillips. So, congrats Drew, you took it all!

Drew’s video is damn solid so it’s likely he would have placed even were we to have gotten a lot of submissions, but the apparent lack of interest in this video contest is telling for me – I’ll try to figure out relevant take-aways from this attempt to incorporate into future such contests. If you have thoughts of your own on why only one video was submitted let me know. Was the time period between announcement and deadline too short? Were the guidelines unclear? Was the topic itself not worth pursuing here on Cop Block?

Drew Phillips Takes OWS Video Contest is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

A few weeks ago some active with Anonymous called for people to gather and do a sit-in called Occupy Wall Street, defined by Wiki as:

an ongoing peaceful demonstration opposing what participants view as negative corporate influence over U.S. politics and a lack of legal repercussions over the global financial crisis. It was inspired by the Arab Spring movement, particularly the protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square which resulted in the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. The aim of the demonstration is to begin a sustained occupation of Wall Street, the financial district of New York City. Organizers intend for the occupation to last “a few months.”

Since most of the lamestream media had thus far ignored the event my bud Tommy and I left the ‘shire and traveled to NYC on Friday to document the situation on the ground first-hand.

The first of three videos below shows the scene at Zuccotti Park (aka Liberty Park), where protesters have gathered, and at nearby Wall St.

Though many present rightly vilified the actions of banksters and corporations, the reality of the situation is that such people and companies could never have such a negative impact were it not for the size and scope of the State. The solution then, is not a new “leader” or oversight board or internal review, it is to simply stop granting others arbitrary authority. (For more on this, check out Larken Rose’s The Most Dangerous Superstition and do some self-education on Austrian Economics.)

The second video was taken yesterday, Sat., Sept. 24th. It depicts some of what unfolded as protesters walked north to Union Sq. It’s clear that some of those wearing badges acted as if they had the right to use aggressive force.

For me personally, it was a whirlwind experience that was both empowering and frustrating. The energy of those in the march, as well as the vocal support of tourists and shop owners, was contagious and demonstrated just how deep runs the disillusionment with the Statist Quo. Conversely, the utter lack of independent thinking or personal responsibility exercised by those with badges only underscored for me why Cop Block exists.

The third video documents the police state now common in NYC and includes a plug from me for people to stand up for their rights and to document the actions of those wearing badges.

Though they purport to “serve and protect,” or in NYPD’s case, have “Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect,” the double-standards created by a “legitimate” monopoly of force causes such widespread rights-violations to occur without accountability. (For more on this, check out our interview with Bruce Benson.)

NYPD Turns Violent at Occupy Wall St. is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

Craig, from Pittsburgh CopBlock, recently posted about a video where he and others CopBlocked a speed trap. I took that video and made a shorted one (my cut is above, Pitts-CB is below)

How do you feel about speed traps? Do they really make the road safer or are they only to generate money for the government? If you’re not speeding but get in a wreck should you be held accountable? What alternatives do we have to these ‘problems?’

How To CopBlock A SpeedTrap is a post from Cop Block - "Something must be done about vengeance, a badge, and a gun"

Last night we posted fliers along Main Street in Greenfield to inform more people about Ademo and my unjust arrests by Todd M. Dodge and our ongoing prosecution by Jeffrey Bengston. Using satire, the flier encourages readers to NOT attend our presentation or trial, visit our website, or share with us their police abuse stories.

We also printed-up hundreds of quarter-sheet fliers with the same text, which we’re including with our DVD and FreeKeene.com handout, and distributing around town.

We found such tactics productive last fall when in Jones County, MS last fall, where we’d been arrested in May of 2009.

Public Memo Posted Along Greenfield’s Main St. is a post from Cop Block - "Something must be done about vengeance, a badge, and a gun"

The below post was submitted by David Freeman.

In the Police State of California, 4th of July means overtime pay for cops. Saturation patrols, and “show me your papers” checkpoints should be expected when traveling by vehicle. If you want to take public transit to a barbecue, the cops may decide to celebrate independence-day-overtime by gunning you down in the BART station. Want to relax at the beach? In order to gain access to San Pedro, Santa Cruz, and other state beaches, individuals are required to submit to searches of their vehicle, bags, and ice chests to prevent injuries related to “fireworks and alcohol.”

Despite these dire circumstances, free individuals celebrating the American spirit of resistance began organizing against the agents of aggression. This year, the holiday weekend debuted with a series of so-called DUI checkpoints funded by federal grants and conducted by law enforcement agencies across California. The first took place in Livermore where an armed group of protesters confronted the LPD Gestapo officers for violating the rights of peaceful travelers. By holding signs ahead of the checkpoint, the group gave numerous drivers the opportunity to avoid the roadblock and prevent harassment by the police. The officers and volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) were also confronted and questioned as they stole vehicles and operated their for-profit criminal operation. After several hours of confrontation, Sgt. John Hurd (Badge #1000) decided to end the Livermore checkpoint at 1 A.M rather than 2 A.M. This was accomplished with only 5 concerned citizens in attendance. With a group of 10-15, a checkpoint could be entirely neutralized.

Based on published statistics, the Livermore Police Department subjected 1200 drivers to unreasonable searches (and seizures) and only arrested TWO individuals for allegedly drunk driving during their 4th of July weekend checkpoint. That means less than 0.17% of those asked “show me your papers” were drinking! Since 11 vehicles were towed, we can conclude that 82% of the vehicles were stolen from undocumented drivers or people with registration issues. We all know the real reason they have these checkpoints. The cities and law enforcement agencies make millions ($40 million across CA in 2009) by selling stolen vehicles.

Police agencies are required to give advance notice of checkpoints before they occur. Take action by organizing against checkpoints in your area!

Jim Johnson (Keene, NH) and John Kurtz (Orlando, FL) may have never met but they have a lot in common, especially at the moment, as they’re both currently in a cage for standing up for their (and your) rights.

Jim Johnson is a peacefully man, one that has helped us repair and maintain MARV time and time again, who’s caged for refusing to pay a trespassing fine and for failing to fill out financial information. Yep, in ‘america’ your taxes will be used to build 40 million dollar prisons, that house 7 violent offenders out of 167 inmates – according to the Superintendent of Cheshire Co Jail, but when you go to take a walk around it they forcefully throw you inside. That’s why we made this video to encourage others to help support Jim through his painful stay at the house of corrections.

John Kurtz is another peaceful man who’s an advocate for transparency and accountability by using a camera to document government officials, especially cops – he founded OrlandoCopwatch.com. And that’s what John was doing one night, video tapping cops who were being rough with someone. After beating a felony charge at trial John was still found guilty of ‘resisting arrest.’ Yep, in ‘america’ you can be found NOT guilty of the original charge, yet do time (30 days is John’s sentence) for resisting an arrest that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. That’s also why we made this video to encourage others to support John through this troubling time of injustice.

Last week Bob “Weeda Claus” Constantine was found “guilty” of possession of marijuana by 12 jurors at Grafton County (NH) superior court. Today Bob begins his 60-day sentence.

Let’s remind those responsible for caging Bob – a peaceful, non-violent man – that they are in the wrong. Bob was growing a plant on his property. Who is the victim? Where was the harm?

Take five-minutes today and on as many of the next 59 days as you can, to call one or both of these numbers:

Melissa Pierce – 603.787.6968 mpierce@co.grafton.nh.us (Grafton Co. “district attorney”)
Grafton Co. Jail – 603.787.6767

Bob was victorious. Despite the 60-day jail sentence (two years of “prohibition” and $1,0o0 “fine”) he stood up for what was right. Thanks in advance for your support!

Guest post below by a great activist and good friend, Nate Cox. Check out his blog for his other writings:

March 17th, 2011 I had witnessed my second “sobriety check-point” within in matter of 6 days in my town, of Mechanicsville (within Hanover County). The first checkpoint I witnessed, I was leaving work at around 10:30pm on March 11th.. I noticed the checkpoint at the intersection just adjacent to the shopping center where my work is. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the first check point I had seen since living in the county for 17 years. I didn’t get caught in it, because it was in the opposite side of the road. So I ended up making a quick right and parked in the shopping center to capture some video and commentary of the scene, you can watch that here (includes encounter with police).

However this blog is not about that police check point.. it’s about the check point I witnessed just 6 days after the one mentioned above. I was coming home from a movie in Richmond. It was early only around 8:30pm (St. Patrick’s Day evening). As I was about 2 miles from my County line, on Mechanicsville Turnpike, I was nearing the county line which first requires me to go up a steep hill.. then down the same hill before a long straight-away over a swamp lands. As SOON as I hit the crest of the hill and started down ward.. I noticed something going on. Traffic was backed up 1/4 of a mile at least.. I didn’t see ANY blue lights.. but I could see tons of cop cars and VDOT equipment, cordoning off the lanes down to one lane. I quickly realized it was a massive check point.. I couldn’t believe it… As I was approaching the sign that said “Sobriety Roadcheck ahead: Prepare to stop Henrico Police I noticed a cop car in the median, facing the direction I was going with no lights on – my assumption was he was regulating “squirters”. I took a picture of the traffic jam, and the check point sign, and then as I passed the sign I maneuvered my car though the traffic cones that had been placed and made a u-turn. I was shocked to see I did not get pulled over by the cops, for which later, after talking with Henrico Police Internal Affairs is supposedly “illegal” to do.

So I went home and made it home successfully but not before immediately facebooking about the checkpoint. I was furious and sick to my stomach – two things that fire me up quick 1) Illegal Wars 2) The Police State. I was determined to do some Cop Block‘ing! I was home for a matter of minutes before I ran down do CVS to pick up some sign making materials. I made a sign with glitter paint that said “Police Ahead” and another one that said, “Do Not Consent”. I grabbed cameras, flashlights, my glock 26 and my signs and headed back to the check point. I parked my car and proceeded to start signwaving at around 10pm. I was standing in the road, in the direction that people would get caught up in the check point, about 1/8th – 1/4th of a mile from the top of the hill where you at that point would see the check point. There IS, one last chance to make a U-Turn at the very top of that hill.

So I sign-waved, about 30-45 minutes into it, a cop flashing his blue lights came up from the opposite direction and made a u-turn where I was posted up and sorta blocked off the road while he questioned me from his car. I got about half of that encounter on video About 20-30 minutes after that encounter, with the cop who never ID’ed himself.. another cop (quite possibly the same one) came and parked his car in the parking lot I was standing in front of by the road. He immediately got out of his car and whipped out his cell-phone and began what appeared to be shooting video. As you’ll see in the video, he never ID’ed himself either.

Thirty minutes after that encounter with the cop, a buddy of mine finally met up with me to help me sign wave and shoot video. We walked over to the top of the hill where we could seee the checkpoint at around 12:20am. We shot some video recapping the situation and noticed after we shot the video they were taking down the roadblock. I’m not sure if we had anything to do with it or not. But I DO know we had a dozen or two cars honk (in support), wave, thumbs up, and even turn around before they made it to the checkpoint and even some thank you’s.

I’m disgusted at the police state we live in. I did what I did to raise awareness and to educate people of their rights. The Police have no authority over me. I own & govern myself and take responsibility for my actions. Just because they have swore an oath to do X,Y,Z.. doesn’t mean they have additional rights as I do, or are immune to the law. We’ve got to not only educate ordinary citizens of their rights when encountered by cops, but we need to try, and educated cops of what their job is supposed to be! USE DISCERNMENT in what laws you enforce! Do NOT enforce “crimes” in which there is NO victim, “No Victim, No Crime.”

Large of amount of credit for knowing my rights when encountered by cops go to websites Cop Block and Flex Your Rights.
