Jerry Brown Once Again Goes Public In Support Of Violence Against Nonviolent Gatherings

On the Channel 2 News, Jerry Brown openly defended the use of deadly force on kids. When asked if street parties were just an innocent form of fun, Brown responded that "there are hundreds of things to do in Oakland". Note that aside from having his thugs shoot at kids with the sole aim of dispersal, Jerry also talked about preventing future festivals from parks in Oakland. With Brown's recent attempt to sell his loft near Jack London Square for over 4 million, one wonders what Jerry has in mind when he says "other things to do" ("Cant they just go to Tahoe or go out on their yahts?"). One also wonders how this creep ever had a show on KPFA, was chummy with Chomsky and talked about nonviolence with the Dalai Lama. As mayor, Brown has already openly given information about activists to a state agency that sees antiwar protests as terrorism. Imagine the danger of Brown as California Attorney General!!

"It's very disappointing they still haven't learned how to do crowd control using police officers instead of nonlethal weapons," said Councilwoman Jane Brunner. "The police chief said this would not happen again. It clearly points out that the Police Department needs another alternative mode for dealing with crowds."
