RTC Racial Justice March to State building
Captain Martel was in charge of escorting the march from the Federal building to the State building, which was only a couple of blocks away, and may have been one of the elements behind the arrest of the women that held the permit for the rally and march.
"Dennis Martel was the guy in charge of the mass arrest of 279 people back in '95 in SF during a march in support of prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal -- the cops surrounded us, having given no order to disperse. Many passers-by were swept up & held in jail with the rest of us. We were all eventually released after three days in jail, with all charges dropped -- they basically wanted our photos & fingerprints & names & information. And now, Martel continues with his nasty tactics... "

Note: Captain Martel and Commander Rick Bruce were in charge of a lot of the operations against protests during the anti-G8 and Reclaim the Commons protests, and were somehow involved in almost all the arrests that happened from June 5 until the mass arrest at the Reclaim the Streets/Anti-G8 action on Tuesday.
