abortion rights or women have no rights at all!!! part 3

by E.
Counter demonstration by pro-abortion activists to a demonstration against women rights.

Anti-choice activists tried to legitimize their hatred by calling on the memory of Martin Luther King, at Frank Ogawa Plaza in downtown Oakland on Friday, Jan. 18.

After failing to garner the support of the NAACP, as well as most of the local African American community, the anti-choicers distributed literature likening abortion doctors to the Ku Klux Klan, and the Nazi party. All this in spite of the fact that the Nazi party outlawed abortion just like the anti-choicers are advocating, and the Ku Klux Klan outlawed the physical sovereignty of black women, again, just like the anti-abortionists are calling for.

Saturday, Jan. 19, will be round two in this struggle for the Bay Area to protect itself from the encroaching anti-choice atmosphere spreading across the nation under the Bush Regime. More information on “The Walk for Life,” and the Bay Area pro-choice counter-demonstration in San Francisco can be found at http://www.bacorr.org

I couldn’t understand what the caption on the cop helmet was saying until I got closer.

“why do you have a caption on your hamlet saying “crackhead”?”
Cop, “that’s my nickname, it’s a joke”.
“You know some people will find this very offensive”
Cop “well, it’s a joke. You know, we here to do our job, were not against you”
“That’s was not my question, some people will find it offensive that an OPD is wearing a hamlet saying crackead”.
Cop “Its there problem”

You took three pictures of a cop with 'crackhead' on his helmet (note correct spelling), why? Why is this important? How does this prove or show anything? Why spend three pictures on it?

Clearly, the police officer wants you to crack his head open, any takers?

Looks like people went from direct confrontation to marching on sidewalks with colored paper. Looks like we are taking a step backwards indeed.

by no brains
Three photos were taken of a police officer who belongs to a police station that has long history of abuse, torture, and killing of people of color in Oakland. A couple of months ago Gary King was killed by an Oakland police officer. Ill explain it to you very slowly since you obviously can’t put 1+1 or have any understanding of history. If a police officer thinks that “crackhead” is a joke and not a social problem, what does that say about the mentality of the OPD in 2008?
There was a lot of confrontations, as the other photos show; people were walking on the side walk to defend Women’s Choice Clinic in case there was some kind of an assault by the anti-women on the clinic.
Here is a question in response, why would you waste our time by asking such a dumb question and adding a stupid remark without ever investigating or knowing what actually took place that day? Maybe more pictures should have been taken of the cop just so unintelligent people like you can comprehend what’s going on.

You act as though there are some pigs, errr, I mean cops, that don't do these things. Tell me where because I don't believe you.

So what if he has a lame nickname. The other poster was right: why did you even waste your time talking with him? I don't know who's worse, you or the cop! It would have been infinitely funnier if you had just called him "officer cracker" in passing and not engaged his dumbass. Didn't you ever hear that 60s slogan "don't talk to pigs?" If not, please heed it.

I get the impression that if the cop was more sympathetic to your questions, you'd suggest that he do yoga or meditation or come over to your house for a pot-luck to make him more sensitive. Hell, I bet your fantasy is that after he took you up on one of those things, he'd be voting for Kuccinich. Blah!!!

The photos were fine; your captions were the lamest shit I've ever read -- and I'm 100% pro-abortion and have the scars from clinic defenses to prove it.
by none-of-your-business.
As I answered your first post, the picture is an expose of the mentality of police and how it leads to police brutality, but it was obvious that with your level of intelligence (as was shown in your first post) you’ll try to avoid the point by pointing out the obvious, that cops are violent everywhere.

Stop pretending to be two different people, stop pretending to be a “clinic defender” and a “100% pro-abortion” who have scars (wow, are you a real man too?), and stop trying to point the obvious, all to rescue your exposed stupidity.

You keep wasting my time with your stupid and unbiased remarks, and I get the feeling that by trying to prove to me how revolutionary you are, and how I’m of not radical enough compare to you, you are trying to fish for information. Therefore this is going to be my last expose of you
