notes on tactics, photos

by rogue @ccess . (poorly [at] secured.wifi.org)
a few photos from the breakaway march, mostly thinking about police deployment

'kay, not sure how to integrate text with the photos, so the text first. this is a series of pix of the other black bloc.

if we try to disrupt the financial district the day after, and the worker bees are already in the hive: it's too late.

look how many cops it takes to arrest one of us, though, or to enforce the sidewalk ordinances. If we decided to go for an early morning ramble in the neighborhood of the first three exits into SF from the Bay Bridge, we'd of course need our escort. Kinda maybe might tie up traffic a little, but a morning jog would be good for us and good for them. We gotta keep their cardiovascular fitness in mind. They seemed to enjoy jogging on Saturday.

Also, I didn't see any horsies out on Saturday. Lots and lots of them spanky new dirtbikes, though. Sure hope it doesn't rain the day after. Worse yet, a little light rain would really suck, you know how they say your traction gets worse when there's a little sheen of oil on the road. Might even have to drive careful.

okay, so we used the crosswalk and that was fine in the end. still took up half the street, and these guys had all gotten two wind sprints already, they were kind of pissy.
§oops

this reporter was running with the pack, then when folks tried to come back up to Market and ran into the picket line of pissed police on the sidewalk (you may not use this sidewalk! because we say so and we have guns and clubs!) she got kinda squirrely-looking.

man needs him a looser helmet or tighter shades. This kind of fashion violation simply will *not* do.
