DESCRIPTION:FUCK THE POLICE MARCH WEEKLY\n\nFTP11 - FUCK THE POLICE\n\n***\n\nNote: The 
 rally and march kickoff will be held at the park at 19th & Telegraph Ave. 
 for the near future, because of so many people with stay away 
 orders.\n\nYou know the drill by now -- we march, we yell, the pigs 
 overreact.\n\nYet another new reason to march in solidarity and rage: the 
 DA has been asking for, and receiving, unconstitutional stay-away orders on 
 key people involved in Occupy Oakland, whether or not they were arrested at 
 Oscar Grant Plaza, they are not allowed to go within 300 yards of Oscar 
 Grant Plaza.\n\nThink about this for a minute -- they can't go to city hall 
 -- a public space -- in their own city, whether they were arrested there or 
 not, whether they allegedly committed any violent crime or not, simply to 
 quash their right to free assembly and protest.\n\nFuck the police and the 
 District Attorney. Remove the DA from office by any legal means necessary. 
 The DA violates the highest law of the land to protect the interests of the 
 monied players in Oakland, those corporate leeches that sit on the 
 president's circle of the Chamber of Commerce.\n\n***\n\nThis 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\n***\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 11, March 10, 
 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\nRally at 7:00 pm\nMarch at 9:00 pm\n\nTHE WHOLE WORLD IS 
 WATCHING OCCUPY OAKLAND\nSOLIDARITY\n
