Oakland Police Infiltrating Protests?

by WeCopwatch
Are Roy and Devon just two average guys marching with the people? Or is Roy and Devon really Officer Jaeger and Officer Buford of the Oakland Police Department running an intel operation on demonstrators?

In the video Officer Jaeger, or "Roy", says he believes the murder of Mike Brown was an "injustice", but these officers show poor taste showing up to an Eric Garner protest in plain clothes. Just the presence of these officers was interpreted by many as an act of intimidation. Perhaps next time police want to express some solidarity, they should go put their bodies on the line and deal with some of these crookkked cops.

This is amazing. Thanks so much!

On this week's FM radio news program, we offer eyewitness statements on the acts of violent "protesters" in Oakland, who attacked elders of the Black community liberation movement. Although inflammatory, the eyewitness statements are provided unedited, to strike a blow against "provocateur actions". It is BS when violent actors conduct damage that makes no sense except to vilify and alienate the community against the families of victims of police extra-judicial murder.
Black Bloc actions by genuine anarchists working with the people are being placed in the same category of the "provocateur actions".
NO ANARCHISTS WE'VE KNOWN WOULD EVER ATTACK OUR NEW AFRICAN ELDERS. And no Black Bloc action we've seen does the RANDOM acts of violence like what we've seen at the recent gatherings in Oakland.
Visit the link below to find out more information.
Anarchists! Send us statements of solidarity with the New African people, so we can show the unity that is actually prevalent across our communities.

'nuff said. Undercover cops and all that surveillance...
The Federal and State agencies conducting war against dissent are cataloged on our Northbay Copwatch archive. The listings are extensive, based on the experience, and research, of Northbay MDS members and allies. We know the Northbay is under lockdown, but, like hip-hop, we can't stop. won't stop... In the end, THEY ARE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF PIGS.

You should have asked PIGS Jaeger and Buford what they thought about the PIGS!

You should have asked PIGS Jaeger and Buford if they think that the PIGS are legalized MURDERERS!

You should have asked PIGS Jaeger and Buford what they thought about Bill Bratton, the principle architect of "Stop-&-FrisK" -- and if they thought that Bill Bratton was the head PIG of NYC and if "Stop-&-Frisk" was really the PIGS new Jim Crow of Stop-&-BRUTALIZE or Stop-&-KILL Black and Brown people.

You should have asked PIGS Jaeger and Buford similar questions and recorded their answers on video!

If they tried to maintain their cover, and agreed, you could use the video against the police: "See, this is even what the *PIGS* say."

If they said just the opposite in answers to the questions you could have used the video to explicitly smoke them PIGS out on video!

Either way it would have been a win-win street interview to capture on video.

But thanks for smoking them out anyway.

Btw, I still think that mostly the wrong places are being 'shut down'.

Why shut down freeways at night when the capitalists have relatively few people going to work for them?

Why shut down city centers at night when the capitalists financial districts are quiet and the brokers, etc., AREN'T trying to get to those financial towers and institutions for the capitalists to make the corporate rich *richer*!

Why not go march and protest in the _CITY_ of Piedmont (NOT Piedmont Avenue) where members of, and execs and managers for, THE *1%* LIVE!?

THESE NATIONWIDE PROTESTS HAVE TO COSTS THE CAPITALISTS *$$$$$$* BEFORE THE CAPITALISTS WHO *OWN*, *BOSS*, AND *RUN* THE PIG FORCE LISTEN!

CORPORATE CAPITALIST *BUSINESS-AS-USUAL* HAS TO BE SHUT DOWN!

PUBLIC MASS PROTEST ANYWHERE IS GREAT, BUT HOW DOES MARCHING AROUND OAKLAND (certainly no financial center) AT NIGHT ACCOMPLISH THAT?

THE CORPORATE CAPITALISTS _DON'T CARE_ IF WE DUMP PAINT ON TELEGRAPH AVENUE OR BUST WINDOWS AT A FAMILY-OWNED DELI STORE.

HOW DOES IT HURT THE CORPORATE CAPITALISTS TO SHUT DOWN A BART STATION AT *NIGHT*!?

HOW ABOUT BLOCKADING THOSE GOOGLE/YAHOO/ETC BUSES OR HIGHWAYS THAT GET THOSE HIGHLY PAID SILICON VALLEY COGS & MINIONS -- WHO PROGRAM WAYS FOR CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENT TO *SPY* ON US -- TO THEIR JOBS IN THE MORNING?

GET STUDENTS AT MAJOR RESEARCH AND ELITE UNIVERSITIES TO SHUT THEM DOWN NATIONALLY FOR A DAY OR FEW THIS SEMESTER OR AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT SEMESTER!

WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR ANGER **COUNT** IN THE WAY THAT CORPORATE *CAPITALISTS* UNDERSTAND!

OTHERWISE IT'S JUST _BLOWING OFF *STEAM*_ -- WHICH THE CORPORATE CAPITALISTS CAN EASILY ABSORB -- INCLUDING IF ALL WE DO IS GO TO THE CAPITOL/LINCOLN MALL IN WASHINGTON AND HAVE *ONLY* A DAY OF SPEECHES -- INCLUDING BY MANY NEGRO ICONS (INCLUDING AL SHARPTON) WHO ARE STILL *APOLOGISTS* FOR OBAMA.

AND WHAT'S THE USE OF HAVING A BLACK PRESIDENT (AND BLACK ATTORNEY GENERAL) IF ALL HE'S GOING TO DO, BESIDES RHETORICALLY TELL US -- LIKE BILL CLINTON USED TO -- HOW "[HE] FEELS OUR PAIN", BUT CONTINUE TO PRESIDE OVER THE NEW JIM CROW!?

Did these cops identify themselves as such when confronted ? Anyway Props to WeCopwatch for proving beyond any doubt that these two were Police. I'm all for ''security culture ''but oft times people are accused based just on vague suspicions or political disagreements . And those accusers can do not only a lot of damage to the reps of sincere activists falsely accused but to the internal cohesion of the groups in question .
