So after Saturday night’s “Fuck The Police” march in Oakland, a couple were pulled over for a broken headlight, and the driver was arrested.
I noticed that at appropx 5:40 into my video, when people are saying “OPD arrested her for a broken headlight”, you can hear one of the OPD motorcycle cops saying “Get it right, get it right!”
It wasn’t OPD...

[Video by fellow livestreamer Jeff Kloy] -Among the footage my fumble-fingers did not save (but which was streamed live) included the same Officer R. Kirkland using...

Watch “The Battle of Oak St” was really a line of protesters w/ gargage-can shields and NO OFFENSIVE WEAPONS being hit with flash-bang grenades, bean-bag shotgun rounds, and pepper-balls. OPD is fucked up and bullshit.
Check out my Ustream channel for more video from #OO #J28.

Pirate will be streaming Live and Driect from Oakland, California tomorrow as Occupy Oakland takes over a vacant building.
Anyone who think OPD isn’t gonna raid the building and arrest everyone before midnight is delusional.
The stream should being around noon, if not before. I also plan to stream the weekly “Fuck The Police” march later that evening.

Don't waste SOPA/PIPA →
This is a call to action, use this brutal abuse of the democratic process to fight back! The useful thing to do today, about Sopa/PIPA is to figure out how to stop next time. MPAA is calling this a stunt. They will be back, their livelihood is based on abusing the legal system, to protect their broken business model. Its easier for them to buy twenty congressmen than to fix their business...
