Save Your Videos

more info, details please.

Yes, just go and help them. You know what they gonna do with it? They check all the demonstrators which are visible, save them to their archives and take them out again when necessary. Don't play with this. If you want to do something with your movies, post em on indymedia. But please, obscure the faces from demonstrators carefully on all pictures and movies posted here or anywhere else. Protect yourself!

The Oakland City Council may be investigating. Rachel from the Lawyers Guild has volunteered to collect footage. Here's her info: (I wouldn't be so cynical as to think that their just putting on the investigation to gather info on us, or to think that the feds didn't have their own folks doing videotaping anyways)

i can collect them at my office, in the NLG

This is such a time to be clear and understand how a Municipal Government works, to give up videos and any other evidence to the so called Authority of the Institution that is against you is stupid and harmful to the cause of freedom and justice. If they want to investigate, fine, it’s about FN time. The thing they should do is go to OUR media outlet on the internet called, http://www.indybay.org and start to read and view the flagrant and willful and unconscionable actions of the police and START their investigation, and immediately have the cop law breakers arrested and put in jail.

You say they now ask for your video tapes, your name, your phone number, ask you to come down and answer a few questions, want to know how you became involved, helloooo, this is sooooo clear, so right there on the pictures and videos and eye witnesses, they want your help, no problem, get a letter from them, that makes you an equal legal member of the investigative team and that you have the legal right to present to the public in any manner that you best see fit to express your findings as the legal representative of the city of Oakland. What’s that you say? Now they are scratching their heads and saying they will have to get back to you? Ha ha ha.

Keep your power, do not let them or any Attorney take it from you unless you truly know you are in control, or do you want to have blind hope and stupid trust in the system that is allowing what’s happening?

Power to the peaceful if they believe in themselves and their authority, yes, you have the right to create, or demand that you are given legal power and authority as you so feel appropriate, within the society that you are in, within YOUR/OUR government if they do not want you to share power and authority, then to hell with them!

The Activists for peace and justice together with the power of law, law that they are a true part of can make a difference, but to give away or not demand it, well then you will have to accept whatever they alone decide, I hope you are not that naïve.

They have more then enough evidence now including the videos and pictures and testimony on http://www.indybay.org to have those cops and their leaders up on charges/arrested!

* The word, ( naïve ), >>> should only have one dot over the letter, ( i ) , not two, as in, ( ï ), it makes a difference. The word, "naïve", is different then the word, "naive", and the word naive was the word that was meant to be used I believe, not naïve, again the correct word for usage above is, naive, as in do not be naive!

If this is too cryptic for you, or puzzling or just gives you a head ache, well, just let it go, and let those that understand, take it for their use.

Well, said! (thank you)
