Oakland residents arrested while observing police violently detain a young woman
Four North Oakland residents arrested this evening while peacefully observing Oakland police violently detain another Oakland citizen
Ingrid Chapman, Josh Warren-White, and Brian Lowe were attempting to photograph at least a dozen police officers as they brutalized a young woman, choking her as she bled from the mouth, and breaking her arm. Ingrid, Josh, and Brian were placed under arrest and taken to the Oakland City Jail on charges of obstructing an officer.
After loading the young woman police had been beating up into an ambulance, the same officers then proceeded to a near by residence and illegally entered and searched the house, without a warrant or consent from the residents.
Another young man, Tim Barsky who had filmed officers as they illegally entered the house, continued to film police as they pulled away in patrol cars and vans. Police then stopped, jumped out of their cars, placed Tim under arrest and confiscated his camera.
Police then grabbed an 11 year old girl at the scene, twisting her leg, arrested her, and confiscated the camera she was holding. The child was later released.
Tim Barsky, along with Josh Warren-White, Brian Lowe, and Ingrid Chapman are still being held under $1500 bond each.
Please call the Oakland City Jail at 510-238-3573 to demand that these four young men and woman be released and their charges be dropped, and to denounce Oakland Police brutality.
