They need the exercise. And it only costs the city $50K a week!\n\n*** This event is being called by the Oakland Fuck the police committee.The Fuck the police Committee was approved by Oakland to perform autonomous actions at their discretion.\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE All folks are welcome, this is a peaceful protest — whatever that means.\n\nFTP March, Iteration 3.0 Jan,18, 2015 – Fuck the police 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, FTPC 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, FTPC 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 Sunday’s action.\n\nNO DAMAGE TO PRIVATE PROPERTY of any kind — people’s cars, any Oakland businesses.\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\n\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\n\n\nOakland California to Ferguson, Missouri\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWear All Black because #BlackLivesMatter\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread the word join us as we march in solidarity against police repression.\n\nRally at 7:00pm 14th and Broadway Oakland CA Jan,18,2015\n\nTHE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING\n\n\n\nSOLIDARITY with the Ferguson front line and all other brothers and sisters in the struggle.\n\n\n\nWe are Anonymous\n\n\n\nWe are Legion\n\n\n\nWe never forgive\n\n\n\nWe never forget\n\n\n\nExpect Us\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/01/14/18766901.php SUMMARY:Fuck the Police March LOCATION:Meet on 14 and Broadway in Oakland at Oscar Grant Plaza.
