m21 POLICE TARGET/ARREST PERSON OF COLOR during sidewalk march

by xxxx
The police swarmed the sidewalk to target this man in what seemed like a sudden, coordinated, targeted strike. He was participating in a march on the sidewalk. No one else was arrested or threatened at this time.

so, how is this explained, but wait and see most of the protesters are also white...the racial lines are always there even if you are a Harvard Phd, M.D., celebrity......Amerika is based on a lie with the start (and continuance) of killing as the thousands of native tribes first encountered....and they are still on reservations...yeah wake the f!( French, of course) up

I don't see anybody getting "killed" here.

He is an organizer, and a good one, which is most likely why they targetted him.

this dude ain't no great organizer, but he gets attention. the pigs probably picked him up randomly as they try to jail up organizers of marches to knock off some of the "leadership". and the pigs never really know who the real leaders are, but they pick the rowdy ones.

so clair, it takes kiling and blood before you realize or care? you must be white, a KKK member, and/or just plain dumb.
america cant shutup about its liberty and freedom, like your marching around the world killing everything in site and saying your going to make the world free like america. sure you got a cool constitution but clearly that doesn't mean shit! if you lived in some povo 3rd world country or even in australia(where im from) you don't have all these liberties in your constitution but you are so much more free than your average american. vote 1 green its the only rational option
by why get picked off?
hr stands out. if you stand out, you're a target. Blend in, and they wont notice you.

Hello, I'm kn0x from Germany.
I stayed in Merced/CA for one year with a great host-family. But I missed something during this year, protest against what was going on, any kind of critical voice against the Bush Administration. I couldn't understand that, in Germany it is perfectly normal to not be overly patriotic and to criticize your government. And I made a great mistake. I made my own stereotype of an American, patriotic, ignorant, brutal, gun-lover. Now that I'm seeing and reading this, I must say that I'm proud of you. You are not nearly as free as your constitution says, and YOU fight it. Even though you are in a much greater danger when protesting than we are, you still do it. Even though you have virtually no free press (except from indymedia of course), you still gather the truth. You put much more effort into protest than we do, even though you are less nad have much higher opposition. And that makes me happy! I want to thank you for being different! You make me looking forward to coming back to Merced this summer. Keep your heads up!

poor kn0x you were in Merced?? thats the epitome of backwards redneck hicksville. (next to my homestate of Texas of course)
i am proud of americans for showing their opposition to a repressive regime headed by the biggest terrorist in the world. it takes guts to critcise your own government.
ill be at the protests later this evening, so keep it up people!

I've been at most of the mass marches and the days after protests, and if blending in means trying to look like older white hippies or younger white anarchists, some of us can't blend in. And don't want to.

During this mans arrest i was hit with a botton by a police officer because i said walking on the sidewalk isnt illegal assembly. After that we were walking on the sidewalk and two cops on motorcycles drove by stopped, and said, "keep walking punk, were gonna kick ur asses first." and drove off. I have no idea why he threatned us, becuase we were only 16 year old peacful protesters.

Definitely. They have lots of hair grease too. The 'red' states contribute a lot to the national obesity rate - start eating lots of cheetos if you want to fit in. http://www.indybay.org/news/2003/03/1593647.php
