Part of that resolution declared that the Chief will present an annual report to Council every year in January. We understand that the Mayor has proposed a
resolution giving the Chief until the end of February to present the report. And there is an additional five points, which are outlined by the ACLU's testimony attached.
Considering that the authorities of Orange County believe that it is a fair deal to offer the same amount of reward money for the arrest and conviction of a serial killer of homeless men, as some people are being rewarded for finding a lost dog, or lost cat, it is evident that homeless persons truly have no value to the authorities.
Some observers believe NDAA included the vague term "Belligerent" in the manner it did, so U.S. Government would have authority granted by Congress to Indefinitely Detain large numbers of Americans not involved in terrorism.

With Chicago slated to host the 2012 NATO/G8 summit in May 2012, Chicago officials are engaging in sabre-rattling against grassroots activists, first with wanton arrests admitted as "just practice for G8/NATO", and now with a proposed draconian rewrite of local Chicago laws involving public protest.

The ShadowHawk is a remote controlled mini-helicopter that can record footage (nighttime/IR/thermal too) and point lasers as easily as it can shoot a stun baton or launch 40mm grenades.
On October 28th, 2011 the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Texas, received a MK-II ShadowHawk Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) from Vanguard Defense Industries. The UAS is intended to assist the County in a number of critical operations to include emergency management, search & rescue, and SWAT operations. In addition to representing a significant cost savings effort over a full sized aircraft, the department can deploy the system quickly via a police SUV. The ShadowHawk was purchased utilizing Department of Homeland Security Grant funding and included training of several deputies already on staff with the MCSO.

On December 28th, dressed in riot gear, the Bellingham Police Department forcibly evicted Occupy Bellingham's permanent encampment. The cops showed no remorse as dozens of protesters attempted to negotiate for more time to finish clearing out the camp and to re-vegetate disturbed areas.
Now the protesters are fighting back with their own surveillance drone. Tim Pool, an Occupy Wall Street protester, has acquired a Parrot AR drone he amusingly calls the "occucopter". It is a lightweight four-rotor helicopter that you can buy cheaply on Amazon and control with your iPhone. It has an onboard camera so that you can view everything on your phone that it points at. Pool has modified the software to stream live video to the internet so that we can watch the action as it unfolds.

We've been waiting 4 weeks for NYC Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to decide the fate of Detective Gescard Isnora, who has cost the City US$7 Million in a settlement over the shooting of Sean Bell. On Nov. 30th, Deputy Commissioner Martin Karopkin recommended that the detective be removed from the force, but only the commissioner can decide. Meanwhile, there seems to be a tacit statement that the incident was the result of policy and protocol.

A video of Joe Walsh asking the mayor to retire the police horses. As we see the horses being used as a tool at protest, the Lone Vet speaks up and says "Enough!" Around 1:48 into the video clip is when the police horse topic starts. This was filmed at the protest vigil thst happens every Friday afternoon on the Hawthorne bridge ramp on the west side.

We've all seen the recent images of the police brutality against Occupy, but this conduct hasn't occurred overnight. For years, US police abuse has been spiralling upwards, this article sharing a uniquely insightful vision of what that's meant, how it's occurred, and an amazing effort to awake America.

Three weeks ago, Portland Chief of Police Mike Reese was a man on his way to becoming the next Mayor of Portland, Oregon. Today, he is facing petitions that are calling for his ousting as police chief.

A 9 part video set from the Occupy Portland Eviction at midnight on 11.13.11 - Occupy Portland Faces an Eviction at Midnight. It didn't happen. This video set starts just before midnight and runs till about 6 am The police attempt to remove the protesters using Horse cops charging into the crowds (didn't work and almost caused a riot) and as well as threats of chemical weapons and the use of riot cops with sticks and non lethal weapons. Nothing worked as far as trying to scare or hurt the protesters from the Occupy Portland camp.
Arrests in the Occupy movement nationally have surpassed 1,000, with 177 being charged by the NYPD this Thursday in only the first few hours.

We all have something to contribute and should embrace differences as long as we work for the other and out of love
If our adversaries in the government can coordinate a national offensive against the Occupy movement, then we too can coordinate a response that draws upon the considerable depth, breadth and diversity of our occupations. We call on all other occupations to join our day of action against state repression on November 19.
Dear Portland Police Bureau,
America's majority who supported the Occupy Wall Street movement (OWS), within the 99% of all Americans, are being smeared by agent propagandists within the punditry of mainstream media (MSM). For example, Michael Gerson's black demagoguery, of the closet-right-wing Washington Post, is a good example. In one of his recent columns he declared the OWS movement seems little more than a "... confused set of grievances... " and paints the movement to have little ideological coherence save Marxist socialism and anarchy. Equally he attempts to blame the Democratic Party (that he claims is their "desperate" political calculation) for this phenomenon of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement.
These haven't been circulated much yet.
Portland Copwatch asks City Council to improve oversight and policies of the Portland Police
Hearing today at 2pm at City Hall
The proposals and Bureau policy issues will be discussed at City Council on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. The meeting takes place at City Hall (1221 SW Fourth Ave.). People of this community who have been mistreated by the police -- and who do not partake of the civilian oversight system because of its weaknesses -- have a rare chance to make a difference. PCW hopes to see a renewal of the enthusiasm for police accountability as was saw at Council in March, 2010, after the death of Aaron Campbell.
y building a progressive police organization, created by rank-and-file officers, "civilian" employees and community representatives. Such an effort would include plans to flatten hierarchies; create a true citizen review board with investigative and subpoena powers; and ensure community participation in all operations, including policy-making, program development, priority-setting and crisis management. In short, cops and citizens would forge an authentic partnership in policing the city. And because partners do not act unilaterally, they would be compelled to keep each other informed, and to build trust and mutual respect—qualities sorely missing from the current equation.

March & Rally - Salem, Oregon Come Out & Help Us Raise Awareness & Protect Crime Victims' Rights in Oregon!!! Let's send a strong message to our Elected Officials and Government Agencies... Crime Victims' Rights Laws, Must Be Enforced!!!
Let's expedite the process for voting and immediately enacting a new city ordinance and police policy that holds police accountable and thereby reduces tax dollars wasted, citizens injured or killed, and escalates protests and costs and damage to City funds and property.
Make it the law that if you wear or use riot gear within the City of Portland, you must have your name and ID number clearly legible to the human eye from all directions 20 feet away-- and if you don't you will be arrested, denied pay or vacation or benefits for that time period, denied legal defense for being on duty, and be denied deployment and/or employment in law enforcement for work directly or indirectly as employee, contractor, or volunteer from any governmental agency or body or military working within Portland, regardless of jurisdiction or purpose. Legitimate use of trained workers to serve and protect citizens and uphold and defend our Constitutionally-recognized inalienable rights do not need riot gear or weapons. In any conceivable riot situation, if the officers are obeying the law and acting ethically, they have no reason to fear being identified, and should feel proud to be photographed and videotaped with their identity clear. This proposed law and practice would prevent criminally-minded officers from committing crimes and abusing their trust; it helps well-meaning officers be safe and trusted, with better social and job security; it helps keep citizens hopeful and peaceful; and it saves tax dollars and helps us focus on more important and urgent problem-solving for the greater good that can thereby prevent future riots or martial law. There is no rational or conceivable situation in which these name and ID number Velcro or hook and loop badges could fall off or be torn off in the line of duty, or that having this identification would endanger or distract legitimate police work. No excuse.
From earlier today:
ALERT! A man named Justin James Bridges, musician & ASL translator for Occupy Portland General Assembly, was assaulted by @PortlandPolice today during camp clean out.
For those who were there, November 13th will be a day long remembered in Portland, Oregon. Occupy Portland again proved why it remains the 2nd strongest Occupy movement in the U.S. when it mobilized against police eviction. Instead of the Occupiers being evicted it was the police who were sent home demoralized.
Last night, at about 8pm, a group of about 50 - 75 people occupied the 10,000 square foot Chrysler Building on the main street of downtown Chapel Hill. Notorious for having an owner who hates the city and has bad relations with the City Council, the giant building has sat empty for ten years. It is empty no longer.
Bil'in, a small, peaceful village surrounded by hills and valleys, is a Palestinian village that is struggling to exist. It is fighting to safeguard its land, its olive trees, its resources... its liberty. Lying halfway between Yaffa and Jerusalem, Bil'in is among a number of local villages that fall under the governorate of the nearby city of Ramallah. It has a population of 1800 in an area approximately 4000 dunums in size.
Supported by Israeli and international activists, Bil'in residents peacefully demonstrate every Friday in front of the "work-site of shame". And every Friday the Israeli army responds with both physical and psychological violence. Working side-by-side with international and Israeli Activists, the people of Bil'in have managed to achieve the recognition of the Israel High Court, which recently ruled that the route of the Apartheid Wall near in the village is illegal and must be changed.
A short interview on the sidewalk by the Occupy Portland camp with the police public information officer on Veterans day. This was filmed on 11.11.11 which is one day before the eviction of Occupy Portland protesters from the park, mostly due to trumped up bad news police reports and spin in the media about crime in our city.
I interview two girls withn cameras at Occupy Portland.Who will be at the midnight eviction
After the Veterans for Peace event, in Pioneer Square, [Veterans Day] I went to ask the police standing along a wall why so many were needed for a peaceful veteran event? I had heard that the police chief was there, I was going to actually ask him the question. The chief wasn't there. Instead I meet Officer Friendly.
This is an 8 part video set from Occupy Jamison Park midnight to 3 am on 10/30/11It shows the protesters sitting / standing peacefully in Jamison park It show the police come in and using force, controlling the parks like gun toting thugs
While the rainbows have been gathering at Occupy Portland, David Burgess has been sitting in jail. His arrest was an act of racist violence on the part of the Portland police and if that doesn't bother Occupy Portland, then the movement is already dead.
Ghost committee meeting with Chief of Police Mike Reese
With over 50,000 people protesting in the street in three major protests through the course of the day, massive labor participation, and a shut down of the Port of Oakland, there is no question that the general strike was a success. Yet the corporate media is now blowing up the importance of a few acts of vandalism by protesters and agent provocateurs. This is a blatant attempt divert attention from a successful working class action.
In the early morning hours of the 5th of November, a small part of the 99% decided to strike back at some of the institutions that we hold responsible for the creation of a violent and inequitable world.
"Kayvan Sabehgi in intensive care with a lacerated spleen after protests in Oakland, a week after Scott Olsen was hurt. He says police beat him with batons."
The Portland Police Association, known to most of us as the group that fights hard to make sure that no Portland officer is ever convicted of any wrong-doing, the group that gets killer cops re-instated after being put on leave or being fired, has said "enough is enough" with regards to the occupation.
This statement comes from Portland, Oregon following the solidarity actions that occurred nationwide on wednesday. Despite references to specific occurrences here, I feel assured that others elsewhere are warming themselves elsewhere with similar thoughts on this particularly chilly night.
Portland Police Officer Hits Protester with Motorcycle
Is that a violation of the arrestees' civil rights? Some of the demonstrators arrested were minors (and I am not sure if their photos were among the ones published). How does the fact that they are not adults change this story? Remember, these people aren't convicted pedophiles, they're just participants in a peaceful protest who were arrested, and haven't yet seen their day in court.

We represent the 645 police officers who work hard every day to protect the citizens of Oakland. We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families.

"Is there a right to record the cops" {yes there is }
That is the title of an Oregonian article in Nov 1 2011 Tuesday front page edition. Its in regard to a Eugene resident who [with out notifying the police he was recording his own traffic stop] filmed the cops with his cell phone during a traffic stop.
The rally will begin at 4:30 PM at Terry Schrunk Plaza, between SW 3rd and 4th at Madison - march at 5:30 PM.
The route will visit a few symbolic sites, and will end at Occupy Portland.
An Occupy Portland photographer was arrested and taken away by Homeland Security shortly at Terry Shrunk Plaza. Although not an official press photographer he was still within his rights to be there and no explanation was given as to his arrest. Portland, OR, USA, 31/10/2011.

Two-time Iraq war veteran sustains skull fracture from police projectile
Officer Botaitis has been arrested on felony charges in Vancouver.
in the early morning of Oct 25, the Occupy Oakland camp in Frank Ogawa Plaza (renamed Oscar Grant plaza) is being dispersed by police. They got their start a few days after Portland's, and grew to a couple hundred tents, with a similarly styled general assembly.
At least 40 were arrested so far, but there wasn't much battery involved (going by early reports). The city has stopped the transit stops near downtown. It's a developing situation.
Walking through the camp of Occupy Portland, it is hard to believe it has only been a few days since it began. The transformation of the space is nothing short of miraculous: from a few scattered tents, some cardboard signs, and a tarp or two, a miniature city has arisen, crafted with the energy, creativity, and good intentions of us all. Together, we are learning first-hand the difficulties, frustrations, and joys of democracy and of the experience of power.

"Mono a mono"
Everyone who has had Ecology 101 or who has done the most cursory investigation into trying to understand the health of an environment knows that monocropping is a temporarily successful and eventually an unhealthy and unsustainable method of agriculture. This does not extend to a so-called diversity of tactics that includes violence. A small amount of violence can derail a campaign quickly and closes off many of the paths nonviolence can open. Nonviolence does not limit the diversity of tactics.
