DESCRIPTION:FTP7 - FUCK THE POLICE\nYou know the drill by now -- we march, we yell, the 
 pigs overreact.\n\nThis week is a special march - both Santiago, Chile and 
 Barcelona, Spain are having huge FTP demonstrations in solidarity with 
 ours. Muchas gracias, compañeros.\n\n*** This event is being called by the 
 Occupy Oakland Tactical Action Committee. It will continue weekly.\n\nThe 
 Tactical Action Committee was approved by Occupy Oakland's GA to perform 
 autonomous actions at their discretion. In that sense it is not an 
 "official" Occupy Oakland event, in the sense that it was not directly, but 
 indirectly, approved through the GA.***\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. This is a militant, radical march that 
 respects diversity of tactics. NV folks are welcome, but it must be 
 understood that this is not a standard peaceful protest -- whatever that 
 means.\n\nFor example, this is a Fuck the Police march. We yell "Fuck the 
 Police" a lot. Telling people not to yell fuck at the police because it 
 might hurt their feelings or is violent towards them is not respecting 
 diversity of tactics.\n\nAs another example, some people might pull trash 
 cans or other barricades into the streets to protect the marchers at the 
 rear. This is a defense tactic and is not violent.\n\nIf you see someone 
 performing an action that makes you uncomfortable, do not interfere, just 
 move away. There is probably a very good reason they are doing what they 
 are doing and you may simply not be aware of what the reason is -- and in 
 the middle of the action is not the time to discuss it. If they are doing 
 something illegal, it is their choice to risk arrest, not a participant's 
 job to do the police's work for them.\n\nThe police are paid to do that 
 stuff. They're itching to do it, which is why they follow the march so 
 closely. Our job is to march and exercise our First Amendment rights. Let 
 everyone protest in their own way without interference from within. 
 Solidarity.\n\nFTP March, Iteration 7, February 11, 2012\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 months, 
 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\nThis 
 week: bring flash lights\n\nRally at 7:00 pm\nMarch on OPD HQ at 9:00 
 pm\n\nTHE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING OCCUPY OAKLAND\nSOLIDARITY\n
