DESCRIPTION:FTP3 - FUCK THE POLICE AND THE NDAA\nSpecial destination planned, fun 
 activities for all to enjoy, details to come at the march\n\n*** 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 3, January 21, 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\nIf you cannot follow the 
 parameters DO NOT ATTEND. They will be read before the march during the 
 rally. People will be given the opportunity to back out if they feel they 
 cannot respect the tactics, with no loss of face.\n\nSo, for this march, 
 TAC is asking for the following:\n\nSHIELDS: If you have the capability and 
 the will to march in the front line, make a shield to carry for this 
 Saturday's action.\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 CAN BE FUN - if you want to burn something in the street 
 (that isn't somebody's car) then more power to you. If someone is burning 
 something in the street then DO NOT INTERFERE.\n\nSTREET BARRICADES ARE FOR 
 YOUR PROTECTION - Do not remove them if they have been placed. Do not stop 
 comrades from placing barriers if they choose to take that risk. It is 
 actually to protect the march. If you are uncomfortable with the barriers, 
 just walk away from them.\n\nBLOC UP: If you hear the shout, "Bloc up!" Or 
 "Tighten up!" It is in your best interest to clump together with the main 
 group in tight formation. Be aware of distance and do not string out along 
 the march route. Do not give the police an opportunity to snatch you and 
 plant evidence on you to conflate charges with.\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 shields if you are able and 
 willing\n\nRally at 7:00 pm\nMarch on OPD HQ at 9:00 pm\n\nTHE WHOLE WORLD 
 IS WATCHING OCCUPY OAKLAND\nSOLIDARITY\n
