DESCRIPTION:Hello people of the world. It is time that people come and march as a bloc. 
 Let's keep it fun and cool , we have a set of rules to keep every safe so 
 we can all march in peace. \n\nFUCK THE POLICE MARCH \n\nFTP2.0 - FUCK THE 
 POLICE\nTake our pigs for a walk. They need the exercise. And it only costs 
 the city $50K a week!\n\n*** This event is being called by the Occupy 
 Oakland Tactical Action Committee. It might 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:  NV folks are 
 welcome, this is a peaceful protest -- whatever that means. \n\nFTP March, 
 Iteration 2.0 March,1, 2013 - 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. The police 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 a usa flag in the street (that 
 isn't somebody's car) then more power to you. If someone is burning a flag 
 in the street then DO NOT INTERFERE. \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\n 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\nWe are Anonymous, \nWe are 
 legion,\nWe never forgive, \nWe never forget, \nOpd we are 3 months \nlate 
 but still \nyou should have \nExpected us.\n
