[Sosfbay-discuss] [Fwd: [gpca-ptf] DRAFT PRESS RELEASE ON MAY 1 LAPD ATTACKS FOR POSSIBLE USE BY THE GPLAC MEDIA COMMITTEE]

[Andrea Dorey]

KPFA reported that footage taken in the street proves unequivocally  
that the police used unprovoked and unnecessary violence against a  
peaceful demonstration.

One wonders what the Controllers will do to prevent street  
videographers and photographers from recording history for and by the  
people Howard Zinn-style!  I guess the next move is theirs, but maybe  
we ought to be planning our response in advance?
