DESCRIPTION:*** This event is being called by the Occupy Oakland Tactical Action 
 Committee. It will continue weekly. ***\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: If you identify 
 as peaceful and are likely to interfere with the actions of your fellow 
 protestors in any way (including telling them to stop performing a 
 particular action, grappling, assaulting or holding them for arrest), you 
 may not want to attend this march. It is a militant action. It attracts 
 anti-capitalists, anti-fascists and other comrades of a revolutionary bent. 
 It is not a march intended for people who are not fully comfortable with 
 diversity of tactics.\n\nFTP March, Iteration 2, January 14, 2012 - 
 Tactical Parameters\n\nDue to the fact that most of our internal issues on 
 each march and action to date have come from a lack of information on what 
 the tactical parameters of a particular action are expected to be, TAC will 
 be calling for tactical parameters on this and all future FTP marches that 
 may change as we learn and practice our skills in the streets.\n\nNote that 
 these are the wishes by the callers of the march. In the interests of 
 solidarity please respect these parameters. These are being called for this 
 march only. This goes both ways -- please be respectful enough of the event 
 to not pursue certain actions at this time if they are being put on the 
 "please don't" list; likewise, if you are uncomfortable with someone 
 performing an action that is acceptable within the march parameters DO NOT 
 INTERFERE with them. This is respect for diversity of tactics, and also 
 proper solidarity in the face of our common enemy. There will come a day 
 that this practice, discipline and restraint will serve us well as a 
 unit.\n\nSo, for this march, TAC is asking for the following:\n\nNO DAMAGE 
 TO PRIVATE PROPERTY of any kind -- people's cars, any Oakland businesses 
 (especially small businesses - but the Starbucks that was hit last time 
 actually gives free coffee and food to our vigil so we prefer to leave all 
 of them out at this time).\n\nPROPERTY THAT IS FAIR GAME IF YOU ARE SO 
 INCLINED - police vehicles and equipment, Mainstream Media vehicles and 
 equipment. The police and the MSM are not our friends, never have been, and 
 never will be.\n\nNO FRONTAL ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE - i.e., no bottle 
 throwing. Defensive actions are fully accepted and encouraged. Shields, 
 unarresting, disarming cops that are beating comrades, etc. MAKE THE POLICE 
 STRIKE THE FIRST BLOW.\n\nSPLIT-OFF MARCHES AND AUTONOMOUS ACTIONS ARE NOT 
 DISCOURAGED. If you do decide to go your own route, please respect the 
 above parameters. Large banks, huge international corporations that run 
 this city with their money, political organization HQ such as the Democrat 
 campaign office or the chamber of commerce are not considered private 
 property for the purposes of the parameters. If you decide to split off, do 
 your autonomous actions away from the main march, not right next to 
 it.\n\nWe are not encouraging anyone to attack any property whatsoever, but 
 some property is more acceptable than others if you really must risk your 
 freedom by doing something of that nature.\n\nFIRE IS FUN - if you want to 
 burn something in the street (that isn't somebody's car) then more power to 
 you.\n\nAnd to repeat:\n\nNO INTERFERING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S ACTIONS EVEN IF 
 YOU DO NOT PERSONALLY AGREE WITH THEM. Do not yell stop. Do not grab your 
 comrades. If you feel unsafe, move away. The parameters listed above are 
 for our own use so that we can hold one another accountable afterwards for 
 things that may not have gone according to plan. But in the face of the 
 enemy WE SHOW FULL SOLIDARITY. Afterwards we can argue about stuff. Not 
 during the action.\n\nWe are all adults. We are all comrades. We have a 
 common enemy and we will have to learn to work as a unit. Following the 
 action parameters on each FTP march should mitigate the fighting and 
 problems we have consistently had after every action to date.\n\nThank you 
 for your cooperation.\n\n***\n\nThe Oakland Police Department has harassed 
 and brutalized Occupy Oakland and participants in the vigil. Camps and 
 liberated foreclosed buildings have been raided and shut down. OOers at the 
 vigil have been arrested for as little as standing nearby when the police 
 decide to raid, all the way up to the ridiculous charge of lynching. People 
 have been physically assaulted by those supposed to protect and serve, but 
 only do so in the interests of the 1%.\n\nWith dozens of our comrades 
 having been arrested in the past couple of weeks, and culminating in the 
 city's revocation of the vigil's permit and the immediate threat of another 
 police raid to clear the plaza, the time has come to rise up and let them 
 know what we think of them and that we will no longer meekly accept their 
 violations of our civil and human rights.\n\nThis event will be held 
 weekly. Spread the word, send the invite, join us as we march in solidarity 
 against police repression.\n\nWear black\nBring donuts and 
 marshmallows\n\nRally at 7:00 pm\nMarch on OPD HQ at 9:00 pm\n\nTHE WHOLE 
 WORLD IS WATCHING OCCUPY OAKLAND\nSOLIDARITY\n
