Privacy SOSLast night an undercover cop in Oakland drew his firearm on a group of demonstrators before arresting a black man from among the crowd.
Protesters at the scene reported on Twitter that the cop pulled his gun after he was ‘outed’ as an undercover. One person tweeted that the undercovers were “instigators of looting,” while another said they were “banging on windows.” After they were unmasked, one of the cops drew his baton and then pulled a gun on the crowd. After the first officer drew his weapon, someone allegedly punched the other cop in the face, knocking him down. Read the tweets below.
The Oakland Police Department has a troubled history. In 2012, the department’s leadership fell under the control of a federal court overseer, who has the “power to fire Chief Howard Jordan, overrule him on major decisions, demote his command staff and order expenditures of up to $250,000.” The federal monitor was appointed to manage OPD in the wake of the ‘Riders‘ scandal, involving at least four veteran officers charged with kidnapping, planting evidence, and viciously beating citizens. In 2011, an Oakland officer shot US armed service veteran and anti-war activist Scott Olsen in the head with a bean bag, nearly killing him.
UPDATE: Journalist Henry Lee reports that, when asked about the undercover pulling a gun on protesters last night, the Oakland Police Department referred him to the California Highway Patrol’s Bay Area division.
This is what I’ve been telling you: AGENT PROVOCATEURS are the “looters”. ALWAYS. Then the “news” is part II: they show clips of the AGENT PROVOCATEUR “looters” and say “THE PROTESTERS HAVE TURNED VIOLENT AND ARE LOOTING”.
I punched a cop dead in the face one time… it was good!
So did I. Actually I gave him two free shots then I kicked his ass. He was working as a bouncer. He bounced. Cost me $4500 in court & lawyer fees. but I WON!
Broke a live cop’s nose once. One of my fondest memories.
The beating I got afterward was memorable as well. Worst of my life.
“After the first officer drew his weapon, someone allegedly punched the other cop in the face, knocking him down.”
A Louisville Slugger would have made a better ‘impression’.
Its a start at least.
Lets say there is 45 cops in a barricade pushing people and hitting them back. If 15 of the 100+ bystanders(sheeple) defend themselves it becomes 3 on 1 and the barricade collapses. Then the police will retreat and regroup.
It would look pretty great on the “news with a J” channels.
Were that to happen, I almost COULD believe Anna Nicole Smith married for love.
Almost.
im sure she did.
Love of money.
what a train wreck she was.
“Love of money.”
LOL… the unfailing kind. “A diamond is FOREVER”.
So is the debt. Nice sales pitch.
