 occupation of Oscar Grant Plaza as they discuss the militarization of the 
 police.\nShane Bauer is a journalist who, with Sarah Shourd and Josh 
 Fattel, were kidnapped by Iranian border guards and imprisoned in solitary 
 in Iran for many months.  After his return to the US. Shane wrote about 
 Pelican Bay, California’s notorious solitary confinement facility for 
 inmates.\nA month ago, as he was observing one of the Urban Shield 
 exercises as a official member of the press he was ordered to stop taking 
 pictures and leave.\nUrban Shield, a convention devoted to the 
 glorification of the militarization of the police, has been happening in 
 Oakland since 2007.  The Mayor announced that it would not be held in 
 Oakland next year, but it will still be held elsewhere, probably at another 
 location in Alameda County.  It should be stopped once and for all or, 
 barring that, Oakland and Oakland’s police should not 
 participate.\n\n\n\n
