DESCRIPTION:Even as the economy plummets, folks are laid off, storefronts remain 
 vacant, presidential candidates bellow "more bucks for more war abroad" and 
 the city council candidates babble about "the budget crisis" locally, the 
 SCPD is fully funded and fully staffed.\n\nIts recent mode of operation on 
 Pacific Avenue is to appear in Overkill Mode, swooping in with extra squad 
 cars and cops.  Responding to the HyperSecurity Agenda of Mayor and 
 Merchant Ryan Coonerty, the SCPD's "triple fine" zones are again in place 
 for this Halloween.\n\nWhether it's Sgt. LeMoss breaking the arm of 
 disabled elder Donna Deiss (May 9),  Sgt. Harms creating a near-riot at the 
 Farmer's Market Drum Circle (Sept 17), or or Officer Winston's "no singing 
 after sunset" arrest of "Black Rose" Rebecca (Oct 15), there is no visible 
 accountability for police misconduct in Santa Cruz.  See updates 
 below.\n\nThe Law Enforcement subcommittee of the county-wide dialogue 
 Overcoming Racism & Building a Racially Just County is considering Copwatch 
 trainings.  Wanda Knight will be downtown doing Copwatch with us.  Other 
 members have been invited.\n\nLast year, the SCPD and City Council cracked 
 down on Council member Tony Madrigal for suggesting possible racial and 
 economic profiling the Halloween before last and opposed the Triple Fine 
 Zones.\n\nCome and document what the police are doing and encourage others 
 to do the same.\n\nBring warm clothing, umbrellas, cameras, audio 
 recorders, "Anybody but Coonerty" and "Copwatch" signs, fun costumes, and 
 friends.\n\nFor a look back at last Halloween's Copwatch, go to 
 \nhttp://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/10/30/18457126.php “Copwatch the 
 New Order Downtown Halloween Night”\n\nReport police misconduct to HUFF 
 (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) at 423-4833 of Wanda of the 
 Community-Wide Dialogue at 246-0228.\n\nCall in to Free Radio Santa Cruz 
 with PSAs at 427-4523, or call on-air at 427-3772 (especially Thursdays 3-5 
 PM, 6-8 PM, Sundays 7:30 AM to 1 PM). \n\n\nUPDATES\n\nThe false charges 
 against Donna Deiss and her "trial" have been put ahead to January.  
 \n\nWes Modes, arrested at the Drum Circle protests in September goes to 
 arraignment today on charges of PC 243(b)  battery against a peace officer 
 and PC 148(a)  obstruction of a peace officer at 8:30 AM this 
 morning.\n\n"Black Rose" Rebecca has an arraignment date for mid-November 
 for "resisting arrest".\n\n\n
