THE SAD THING IS THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN ARRESTED NOW HAS AN FBI RECORD, A CALIFORNIA RECORD, AND A SAN FRANCISCO CRIMINAL RECORD. YOU HAVE THIS RECORD FOR LIFE AND THE CIA, FBI, AND POLICE CAN ACCESS YOUR INFORMATION AT ANY TIME. IF IN 2004 YOU ARE CAUGHT SPEEDING, THE COP WILL LOOK UP YOUR RECORD AND SEE THAT YOU TRIED TO SABATAGE USA. THEY WILL NEVER CUT YOU A BREAK AND LITERALLY THROW THE BOOK AT YOU. THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU EVERY DAY YOU ARE ALIVE IN USA. ALSO, YOUR RECORD GETS TRANSMITTED TO INTERPOL SO IF YOU ARE BUSTED SAY, FOR DRUGS IN FRANCE, ENGLAND, JAMAICA, OR NICARAGUA, THE COPS THERE WILL ACCESS YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD AND THEN PROCEED TO FUCK YOU UP BY EXTRACTING A HUGE BRIBE FROM YOU OR JUST THROW THE BOOK AT YOU. AS FAR AS EMPLOYMENT GOES, YOU CAN NEVER GET A REAL JOB. YOU’LL HAVE TO END UP SELLING ORANGES ON THE FREEWAY ONRAMP BECAUSE ANY TIME YOU APPLY FOR A REAL JOB, THEY WILL DO A BACKGROUND CHECK AND FIND YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD. REMEMBER, YOUR RECORD IS PERMANANENT, EVEN IF YOU DIE. YOU CAN NEVER GET A JOB AS A SOCIAL WORKER ANYWHERE IN AMERICA BECAUSE SOCIAL WORKERS WORK FOR A GOVT INSTITUTION. THEREFORE, YOU WILL NEVER BE HIRED. I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU THINK ABOUT THE LONG-TERM RAMIFICATIONS OF BEING ARRESTED. WHO THE HELL WANTS AN FBI # TO HAUNT THEM FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE??

Nomore fucking record when they do the revolution. Screw you capitalist sitting in your couch who are watching TV and laughing at us who are trying to make the world a better place to live in.

If you were wrongfully arrested in San Francisco on Thursday 20 March near Mission and 7th or know someone who was, here is information about a class action suit against the city and the police department for wrongful arrest. This info applies also to people who were wrongfully arrested in other parts of the city.

This is a good way to use the gears of the system to grind against each other, and take advantage of the competition for power within the government. Drive home the point that one of the many costs of war will not be our freedom of assembly and speech.

Ishmael Tarikh, the director of Bay Area Police Watch says he wants to file a class action suit against the city within the next 10 days if he has 15 to 20 people come forward. SF Lawyers Guild is also interested in representing suits against the city for police misconduct.

Call each of these numbers:

415.951.4844 x228 Bay Area Police Watch Director Ishmael Tarikh
415.285.1011 San Francisco Lawyers Guild Legal Aid
415.553.9530 San Francisco Attorney's General Office

As for the citation you were issued for Failure to Disperse, the police are obligated to order the crowd to disperse as well as give them the opportunity. In arrests all over the city, neither happened. As for blocking traffic, unless the police have video of you in the street, they would be unable to prove that you were not on the sidewalk at the time the police arrested you.

At your arraignment hearing on April 19th, 20th, or 21st, plead Not Guilty to both charges, and make them take it to court. The Lawyers Guild will help represent you. At that point, the police dept will have to produce proof that you committed a crime or exonerate you.

as if it needs to be said, our friendly career counselor in the above post is a terrible propagandist. best to go sit at home and weep about the world rather than engage with the world, right? what this chump is trying to dissuade us from is participating in our lives fully, engaging with each other outside of the proscribed means offered us by the state, whose mission is to make us docile spectators of our own exploitation and of the misery of others. they try to reduce our responses to the shit imposed by capitalism to the disposable feelings we have while watching tv. the reality is, the world affects us much deeper than that garbage, and we in turn affect the world once we overcome the obstacles put in our way. the main motive of the fbi/police/propagandists is to isolate and reduce us, this is no different.

Mayor Willie Brown, who celebrated his 69th birthday as protesters and police battled for the control of downtown streets, was supportive of the police and thought protesters should act in their own hometowns, where the culture may be more supportive of war.

"In a time when our city faces huge deficits, further disruption to our city's economy and endless draining of our public resources is unfair to the people of San Francisco," Brown said. "San Francisco did not create the circumstances that led to military action in Iraq; it should not bear a disproportionate burden as a result of that action."

Brown's spokesman, P.J. Johnston, said protesters might look to towns such as San Ramon, the headquarters of Chevron.

Where are they? I cant hear them.

There won't *be* any jobs later this year. Sharply cutting taxes while going into a war escalation, and a recession, has rarely been done during our nation's history. When there is a big deficit, this always drives up interest rates and inflation in order to make the debt proportionally smaller. This depresses wages and employment.

This is what happened during the late 70s after the Vietnam war - do you remember stagflation and how this made the popular culture of the time neurotic and depressed and pissed off. There won't be any jobs to apply for later this year. I'd learn to do something useful and find your own customers.

LEARN WHY IF YOU GET ARRESTED, YOU ARE FUCKED FOR LIFE.

well, i guess for the 2,500+ of us who already got arested are just fucked for life. we will get to spend all our time protesting since we won't be able to jobs...
or not.

either way, we're not going to be quiet.

If San Francisco is going welcome companies like Bechtel and groups like the Carlyle Group with open arms, they are going to have to deal with those who protest war mongers. If there were federal buildings an headquarters in Oakland, Berkeley, or Marin the same thing would happen in those places. Willie Brown has catered to large corporations irregardless of ethics and has consistly favored corporate america over individuals since the day he took office. It looks like the chicken have come home to roost

I mentioned "false orders to disperse" in this analysis of police tactic, but I don't want it to be confused that there was any order to disperse at 7th & Mission. There absolutly was not. Nor was there any oportunity to.

The cops, in a manner of shoving the crowd, did yell "Move it!" - to get the group corraled. This took place on both sides of the crowd, completly blocked by cops.

You are NOT screwed for life if you get arrested. I know many people with very high up government jobs who did a good deal of protesting back in the 60s, were arrested repeatedly, and are still doing what they want and love. You know how no one REALLY ever wants to look at your permanent record? Same thing with your FBI records. I bet even the people posting here to beware have an FBI record. Most people do. Write to them and request to see what's in it.

Now, if you get convicted of a felony, that's a different story. Stay true to your cause, stay peaceful.

You don't have to do anything to have a dirty dossier fabricated against you. They do it when you refuse to cooperate----refuse to be "one of theirs!" Homicide survivor, mom of 3 boys abducted by faggot coips for sex.

75billion that Bush is requesting for the war vs. 1-2 Million trying to save that money for schools, healthcare, and jobs.

Just think, we're going to be building schools in Bagdad, when we can't even afford to fix them here.

I witnessed this exact event from start (police pull up on motorcycles) to finish(everyone sitting down and being arrested. I witnessed a man being beaten against a window and then handcuffed and lain face down on the ground. I also witnessed the police charge where they beat people to the ground. I dont know if I am a legal witness (I am only 12). email me.

Has anyone that was arrested on 7th and mission been arraigned yet? If so, what has happened? Are there large fines? Jail time? I would like to know what to expect.
