Pics from F**k The Police Protest in Oakland, CA
A few pics from the "F**k The Police" protest in Oakland.
While attending this and or covering this protest I started hearing the medics saying "Don't Run." They say it causes heartbeats to rise, and sometimes if the police see someone running they will think someone committed a crime and they will use cop mentality and chase after you.
I support and promote the use of U-Stream etc, but as soon as this protest left it's home base, OPD was right there, it's as if OPD already knew they're every move, and if you ask me their protest plans were already known. This is what I think, either there are police infiltrators, or the U-Stream broadcasters are broadcasting their plans or routes. This would be okay if it were permitted and protesters didn't care if the police stalked them. But it seems protesters at this event are not wanting the police to stalk them. Maybe, now, is the time to start coming up with protocol on how to deal with U-Streamers. I sometimes use U-Stream but don't use it often because I am afraid the police and or haters would see it live online and plot against them. You know sometimes things need to be kept secret especially when the Feds have unlimited power's.

Hmmm...now it might be time time to retool the gear in the strategy and tactics box, and move on to more substantive forms of mass collective action.
In other words he doesn't like the f**k the Police marches. If there was a rally that was called, for instance, "the stop police brutality march", I doubt as many people would be coming out shouting about how it's ineffective.
Anyway, great pictures.

Without compromising anybody's security concerns here, what's a wild ballpark estimate of the turnout here? What's the difference in numbers between the second to last one and the most recent one?
Somehow this looks like something less than a huge mass uprising against the cops.

The questions isn't, spiky demo vs. more liberalish version of the same thing, but that stuff like this isn't going to take off in a big way and make a large-scale difference. My beef with this isn't of the "cops are part of the ninety nine percent" canard.
Actually FTP marches have begun in Seattle and other cities, and are inspired by Oakland, so to say these actions are ineffective is false. Also, I want to point out to those who are unaware of it, some of whom may be surprised, that the recent FTP march explicitly called for non-violence.
