ATTEMPTED ARREST OF MAYOR SANDERS

  • Ray Lutz spoke at the City Council meeting on Tuesday regarding this action. -- Ray: Actually the City council did the right thing by not covering for the Mayor. I thanked them for doing the right thing. Also, I happened to bump into City Attorney Jan Goldsmith in the hallway on my way out. He hinted that more action from the City Attorney's office may be forthcoming. Study this as it plays out... it is a perfect case study of the sort of engagement I think Occupy participants can use in the future. This is not the end of this, it's just the beginning.

MEDIA

2012 Feb 01

Media: Occupy San Diego

  • Occupy activists try to arrest mayor About 20 members of Occupy San Diego tried to make a citizen's arrest of Mayor Jerry Sanders Monday, alleging that he committed embezzlement when he allowed the temporary name change of Qualcomm Stadium to "Snapdragon Stadium.''

  • Occupy group tries to Arrest Sanders over Snapdragon deal About 20 members of Occupy San Diego tried to make a citizen's arrest of Mayor Jerry Sanders Monday, alleging that he committed embezzlement when he allowed the temporary name change of Qualcomm Stadium to "Snapdragon Stadium."

Media: Occupy National and Global

  • Mass arrest attempted at 19th St. in Oakland #J28 1. A march was stopped at Telegraph Ave and William St.
    2. All park exists were blocked off
    3. The crowed was ordered to leave without being allowed any exit
    4. Gas / Chemicals, projectiles, batons, and explosives were used on the marchers
    I was not sure during the filming, but gas was definitely used on this residential area. I definitely felt sick later as the gas reached my apartment.
    Protesters did not destroy any personal property. Building windows and cars remained untouched (in this area at least).
    I have no doubt that the number of marchers will increase next time. This group started with camping - The city's responses seem to be slowly turning them into a militia.
    See related video from earlier the same day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46UeXGhvaTI
    It's hard to see in the video, but this park is a monument to humanitarianism: http://www.remember-them.org/
    Stay Safe Oakland!

  • How Swedes And Norwegians Broke The Power Of The ‘1 Percent’ Under the leadership of the working class, however, both countries built robust and successful economies that nearly eliminated poverty, expanded free university education, abolished slums, provided excellent health care available to all as a matter of right and created a system of full employment.

POLICE COMPLAINTS

Have you been mistreated by the Police? Have your First Amendment rights been violated? Have you been arrested for nothing, only to have the charges "unfiled" but held over your head for up to a year?
  • NEW First read this document: http://www.2momslaw.com/police_misconduct.pdf
  • Make a Complaint: How to Make a Police Complaint
    • Use this form: Complaint Form
    • Forms also available in the lobby of City Hall.
    • Citizen's Review Board member says we do NOT need names & badge numbers. File the complaint & it's up to SDPD to determine who the officer was (But it is better if we have them, of course).
  • ALSO: By telephone or in writing to
    • SDPD Internal Affairs Unit, 1401 Broadway, MS 709, San Diego CA 92101, (619) 531-2801

    • Read this: Making Police Compliants That Stick
  • Also, consider making a CLAIM against the city for your BOND money if charges were never filed. They have 45 days to reject the claim, then you file a lawsuit. It costs $400 to file unless you can claim low income.
