Sacramento aint no Seattle!
It seems that law enforcement's drift towards fascism in recent months is not slowing down one iota. In fact, I think it would not be overstating the situation to say that the police state we have been warned about, is in full effect in Sacramento as we speak.
reports of police harassment in sacramento continue
I was one of many people arrested yesterday. My offense? Covering my face in public, an act made illegal in Sacramento a week ago. I'm not entirely sure as to why I was singled out, as I was walking on the sidewalk and walking in the direction the cops had ordered. Also I was wearing my IMC Press pass and a medic bag.
The police detained approx 15 activists Saturday Night after the Solstice rituals for "tresspassing" in an unmarked dirt lot between the meeting hall and the railroad tracks. In yet another attempet to harrass and scare members of the movment, police in 4 unmarked cars and two unmarked vans forced the activists against a wall and detained them untill they provided names or identification.

My Jail Experience/Pigz Suck!part2
shouting and banging on the glass. Finally the guards gave in to our demands. We decided that we would not give our names or allow our finger prints to be taken. There was three womyn who had fully cooperated and given all information even social security number that had gone before us to see the lawyer and we found out later that they were only moved to another room and not permited to see the lawyers. They were told that we had refused to see the lawyers, so they left. Just minutes after the lawyers left the situation became much more serious. Several guards with gloves on(gloves means they plan to manhandle someone) came in and anounced to one of the womyn that her charges had been upgraded to a more serious offense. We protested that she see the lawyers again and we formed a softlock around her. We were very painfully torn from her.
protest porn!
My Jail Experience/Pigz Suck!
I was one of many people arrested yesterday. My offense? Covering my face in public, an act made illegal in Sacramento a week ago. I'm not entirely sure as to why I was singled out, as I was walking on the sidewalk and walking in the direction the cops had ordered. Also I was wearing my IMC Press pass and a medic bag. This was in front of the IMAX just as the call went over police intercoms that the delegates were soon to arrive. The police ran up and grabbed me from behind, wrenching my arms behind my back using pain compliance which was completely unnecessary as I was too surprised to resist. An inexperienced officer was assigned to apply the zipties while another officer explained how to do it. I felt a sharp pain in my wrist as the officer exclaimed,"Whoa! That's too tight! Well, we'll fix it later." My hands swelled up and turned purple and started to go numb as they went through the paper work and attempts to take my picture. I kept my head down and my eyes closed to prevent them from getting a useful picture. I was searched by a male officer with female officers standing nearby. I clearly stated that I did not consent to a search to which the pig replied,"Welcome to the state of California!". Myself along with the other arrestees were loaded onto the bus. The pain from the cuffs was unbarable. The others on the bus could see my discomfort and chanted until the cops finally "remembered" to change my cuffs. This would prove to be the least painful of my jail experience.
