During a walkout rally today at 1:00 at Pasadena City College, students Victor Mendoza and Marco Martinez were assaulted with pepper spray and batons by Pasadena police officers and arrested for helping organize the lawful, First Amendment-protected student protest.

Witnesses report brutal, unprovoked force used by police officers before the walkout had even begun. Several other students were pepper-sprayed, batoned, and detained, but Victor and Marco, members of Students for Social Justice and MECHA, respectively, were held on campus and then transported to Pasadena jail.

As of this writing, Victor Mendoza is being released within the hour with a citation for public disturbance, while Marco Martinez is being held on much more serious felony charges for inciting a riot--a riot which never occurred. The only violence in this peaceful student walkout and protest came from the Pasadena police, who assaulted students and their First Amendment rights.

Representatives will meet with Pasadena City College President Kossler tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. in the C Building. Supporters of Marco and Victor will also converge on the quad area outside the C Building to demand that President Kossler and the PCC administration have these charges dropped and protect their students instead of attacking them.

Students are outraged that this school administration could allow the Pasadena police to attack its own students as they peaceful practiced their freedom of speech rights. But this is only the latest in a series of fascist crackdowns on freedom of expression on this campus. Several months ago, a shuttle driver was fired for playing KPFK radio in the shuttle while working.

Please come join us Friday, 3/21, at 3:00 on the Pasadena City College campus. Demonstrators will gather in the quad area outside the C Building. Victor and Marco and all students of conscience need your support.

The war on students has begun.

THURSDAY MARCH 27, CC LOUNGE
10:00a-12:00p & 1:00p-?
PCC students will hold a forum on todays police brutality on campus. As someone who was myself detained by campus ploice, I witnessed the brutality first hand. The police punched, kicked, pepper sprayed, batoned, choked and stomped on heads (literaly). We will recap the order of events and discuss what actions to take next.

I heard some PCC students at the rally in Pasadena tonight. Keep on fighting guys! Or should I say, Keep on being peaceful?
Incidentally, people were being attacked on Colorado Blvd. while we were marching tonight. We were told that if we crossed the street against the light we could be arrested. While waiting to cross, a man crossed against the light and started hitting people around me. The cops were right there and took their sweet time coming over to break it up. I kept walking, a moving target is harder to hit...

Did they loot the Gap again?

the prez himself...

JPKOSSLER@paccd.cc.ca.us

Doesnt Pasadana City College house KPCC? Look where their bread is buttered, you future janitors

Families, children, older people, people with jobs. You know, your fellow americans. No we didn't loot the gap. I wouldn't want any of their clothes anyway.

Hello everyone, I am a student at PCC and also saw the police brutality on our campus. This was an unprovocked attack to slience our voice. However it did not work, a strong 100-120 of us still marched and were clearly heard on Colorado Blvd. My one concern is with our comitment to be peacefull and non-violent. I was in the building and some students began to hit cops and throw pack backs. Arent we for peace here guys?? "If you cannot contain yourself then leave" - Cesar Chavez. PCC we need to be non violent. Citizens of Pasadena WE NEED TO BE NON-VIOLENT. One love.

The police brutality today at PCC was commited by the campus police. They were aware in advance of the planned walk-out and had agreed the night before to allow students to pass through the buildings and campus. Instead, the chief of campus police waited at the top of the interior stairs to the main building and confronted the students leading the group into the building. By violently apprehending these three students, other students were provoked by campus police into attempting to defend their friends and themselves. These detentions had no basis in anything.

The campus police then obviously lied to the Pasadena Police Department and claimed that students were destroying property in that building. Several of us have walked through a few times and can find no evidence of any destruction. About an hour after the arrest incidents, Pasadena Police told us that they would not allow student protesters into any of the buildings because of this destruction (that didn't exist).

We refuse to allow our people to be treated in this fascist manner. The PCC campus police and the administration of PCC have demonstrated their lack of any reasonable connection with students, and they have left themselves open for at least one or several serious lawsuits. We need to demand the dismissal of the Pasadena City College Chief of Campus Police.

Yes, be peaceful but stand your ground. I heard the story tonight and the students involved should know they are supported by a large network now. It was indeed moving to hear the voices of such wondeful activists, and it is outrageous that you were treated in this manner. I hope the ACLU and other legal help will be available. In the meantime, interested people (especially in the Pasadena area) should remember that PCC is governed by an elected board of trustees. The trustees are listed here: http://www.paccd.cc.ca.us/board/
The next board meeting is next Wed. I plan to contact them, including the Pres. and the head of campus police (Philip Mullendore is the director of "Polics and Safety Services" at plmullendore@paccd.cc.ca.us).

In general I think these people are reasonable so I think we should be respectful but outraged. The board page says the board is responsible for all policy and derives authority from the U.S. Constiution among other sources, so 1st Amendment may be a good place to start.

In particular, I think an apology from the Pres to those involved, all students and the community and disciplinary action and criminal charges against the officers would be a good start.

I cant believe that the police actually used CHEMICAL WEAPONS against thier own people.

Fascist crackdowns, eh? Yeah right. Like all protesters and the Hollywood elite, you're just lusting for those sacred days of McCarthyism and the '60s, perhaps the only time your claims of brutality held any water. You're a bunch of walking cliches. If anyone's fascist, it's your increidbly peaceful San Francisco cohorts, who mauled and assaulted counter-protesters supporting America's troops. A hint: the Hitler moustaches on Bush are juvenile. You're convincing no one of anything but your own idiocy.

Mr. Gilbert has some good points. i started reading Indy Media as (what I consider) and averaqe middle of the roader who wants to learn abit. Plus it is interesting reading.

As a result I've become more 'left' thinking in some ways - particularly in my appreciation of the eco movements.

However, I have become somewhat the opposite when it comes to the anti-war anti-capitalist crowd. maybe its because my imagine is colored by what is written here. Here are my beefs:

1) Don't call for revolution and then whine when you break the law and a cop arrests. This reinforces the imagine of spoiled middle class white kids out for a lark. Sadly much of what was written about Rachel Corrie is in this class. Its not the action so much as the tone that turns people off.

2) Dont' be so paranoid. For Goodness sake, police break up most large demonstrations, not just yours. If there really was a huge witch hunt for reds as some of the posters claim wouldn't they start by simply getting SF Indy and its detailed protest list off the net?

3) Everyone with a different view is not a facist. It is possible to look what you look at and get a diffenant opinion. I remember the postings on Alien registration> Anyone opposed to open borders was labeled a fascist racist pig. Hell, how many converts will come to you that way?

4) Conspiracy theories turn people off. Especially when everything is a conspiracy and many of these are pretty wild. After the WTC I even thought that trolls were posting many of the 'everyone but muslems did it' conspiracies about electronic ray guns, radio planes, disappearing airlines, etc. Some were so wild I figured they were there as smokescreens.

Anyway, my five cents after a year of surfing indy.

You people for "peace" for the Iraqi people are morons. Here's is your proof. And it will ONLY GET BIGGER. Are you starting to feel stupid yet?

"No Saddam Hussein!" one young man in headscarf told Gurfein. "Bush!"


U.S. Marines Rip Down Saddam Portraits
1 hour, 5 minutes ago

By ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press Writer

Milling crowds of men and boys watched as the Marines attached ropes on the front of their Jeeps to one portrait and then backed up, peeling the Iraqi leader's black-and-white metal image off a frame. Some locals briefly joined Maj. David "Bull" Gurfein in a new cheer.


"Iraqis! Iraqis! Iraqis!" Gurfein yelled, pumping his fist in the air.


"We wanted to send a message that Saddam is done," said Gurfein, a New York native in the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. "People are scared to show a lot of emotion. That's why we wanted to show them this time we're here, and Saddam is done."


The Marines arrived in Safwan, just across the Kuwait border, after Cobra attack helicopters, attack jets, tanks, 155 mm howitzers and sharpshooters cleared the way along Route 80, the main road into Iraq (news - web sites).


Safwan, 375 miles south of Baghdad, is a poor, dirty, wrecked town pocked by shrapnel from the last Gulf war (news - web sites). Iraqi forces in the area sporadically fired mortars and guns for hours Thursday and Friday. Most townspeople hid, although residents brought forth a wounded little girl, her palm bleeding after the new fighting. Another man said his wife was shot in the leg by the Americans.


A few men and boys ventured out, putting makeshift white flags on their pickup trucks or waving white T-shirts out truck windows.


"Americans very good," Ali Khemy said. "Iraq wants to be free."


Some chanted, "Ameriki! Ameriki!"


Many others in the starving town just patted their stomachs and raised their hands, begging for food.


A man identifying himself only as Abdullah welcomed the arrival of the U.S. troops: "Saddam Hussein is no good. Saddam Hussein a butcher."


An old woman shrouded in black — one of the very few women outside — knelt toward the feet of Americans, embracing an American woman. A younger man with her pulled her away, giving her a warning sign by sliding his finger across his throat.


In 1991, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died after prematurely celebrating what they believed was their liberation from Saddam after the Gulf War. Some even pulled down a few pictures of Saddam then — only to be killed by Iraqi forces.


Gurfein playfully traded pats with a disabled man and turned down a dinner invitation from townspeople.


"Friend, friend," he told them in Arabic learned in the first Gulf War.


"We stopped in Kuwait that time," he said. "We were all ready to come up there then, and we never did."


The townspeople seemed grateful this time.

the fear that Saddam will attack the US with WMD shows how PARANOID americans are.

they don't really know why he will attack
they just know he will

"we don't know what a nigger is, but we're just gonna hate 'em anyway"

AMERICAN HYPOCRISY

TO ANY PRO-WAR ADVOCATE
I DARE YOU TO REPLY TO THIS:

The US government supported Saddam during his most murderous years. They supplied him with WMD and the technology to make his own WMD. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A KNOWN TYRANT. Why? So that he would use them on the Iranians. Even after Halabja in 1988, the US government CONTINUED to support him.

Now in the year 2003 (whether it is morally just or not), Saddam no longer wishes to play into US global strategy. So he is ALL OF A SUDDEN branded a TYRANT ------ EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A MURDEROUS TYRANT ALL THE YEARS THE US SUPPORTED HIM!

Isn't it hypocritical that although he was even more murderous back then, he was considered an ALLY and FRIEND OF AMERICA simply because he was killing Iranians (if 5,000 kurds happened to be gassed in a single attack thats no big deal). Now he's still murderous but now the US actually acknowledges that he is a tyrant. Imagine if he was still following US wishes by fighting with Iraq, would the US be calling him a TYRANT? I DON'T THINK SO.

HYPOCRISY HYPOCRISY HYPOCRISY.

Until the US apologizes to the victims of Saddam terror DURING THE YEARS THAT THEY SUPPORTED HIM, this war will only be about US PARANOIA and its attempts at gaining a FALSE sense of security.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

war advocates only want to see sand nigger blood being spilled. they try to improve the body count
2,500 Americans (WTC) < 100,000 Sand Niggers.

So they can feel better about themselves and feel as if they "won" the overall battle. Their oh so precious American pride was hurt on 9/11 and now they seek to get it back by killing sand niggers left rite and center

(basically this is the whole starship troopers scenario)

go here for anti-war stuff http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=490159

Yes I weep. For the United States, my country. I weep with shame for the US. I weep at the terrible things being done in my name. I weep with Sen. Byrd. I weep because students are assaulted and beaten for a peaceful march. I weep because of the loss of respect for the Constitution. I weep because people around the world hate me and my country more today than yesterday, and I have nothing to say to convince them they should not.

But I have hope too because it has been seen that weeping is more powerful than war, and the last superpower has finally met its match.

You weep with Sen. Byrd? 'Sheets' Byrd?

Shaddap already, you're embarrassing yourself.

Have you read the wonderful speeches of Sen. Byrd? A hero and inspiration.

Have you seen the sheet Sen. Byrd wore while a member of a certain association?

Nice to know who you're inspired by.

The left is a little paranoid
but just to be safe
who votes we send RANDY
to fight in this war he preaches for!

Geez, at least read what I said or find a friend who is literate and can explain it. Or is this some obfuscation attempt because, like most of the chickenhawks, you can't really support this illegal, immoral and monstrous act with any shred of logic or truth?

What act are you referring to Randy? The liberation of Iraq?

...he was thinking of the liberation from life of a lot of people who are NOT Saddam Hussein.

Or perhaps he was sad over the use of U.S. military might to conduct an operationg that the German General Staff would have been proud of.

Yawn.

Your overwrought predictions of massacre are not yielding much fruit, Diogenes. But keep your chin up. If a child so much as catches a cold in Iraq, I'm sure Reuters will be there to blame it on the US.

...you display your "humanity". All the loving warmth of an Iron Maiden.

Catch cold? What do you expect will happen as Bagdad crumbles? They can't exactly jump on their trusty Segway and scooter into the democratic sunset.

And by the way, who doesn't love this spectacular spin going on? As if the point all along was to liberate Iraq. I'm ALMOST more angry with the news coverage, this "embedding" stuff and the Orwellian language going on, then I am with the war itself!
"We will pass through this time of peril and carry on the work of peace. " (when it's conveniant) -Bush

I'm hooked on KPFK but I really don't want sides,
I want NEWS. I want facts. And facts are sparse. When you do happen upon them they look just like the lies. And who can tell them apart?

I found this flyer posted at Pasadena City College today. The Chief of Police on campus grabbed Victor by his broken arm (his arm was already in a sling) and tried to choke him and force him into a little room with a guard. It was a sting operation. They were waiting for us with police stationed outside all the doors on the main side of the C Building: there were guards outside the president’s office. I saw a policeman spraying a little can of chemicals into Cesars face. I cried and screamed "NO!". It broke my heart to see a human being treat another person like that. They used their batons to hit at least 3 people and the police broke a reinforced window of one of the doors with his baton. Policemen should realize they can be charged for carrying out illegal orders because what they did was wrong, immoral and illegal.

“It's a sad day for a "happy hour" -- but that is community, they will have it on TV, it is seen as tragic and disgusting by everyone, and now with this merciless use of disproportionate force, I stand firmed against the path of "our" troops -- marching without lawful orders, in violation of the United States Constitution, which every member of the US Armed Forces took an oath to uphold, protect, and defend; against all enemies, domestic and foreign! When unlawful orders are given, a crime has been committed by the issuing authorities all the way down the chain of command. And it is every soldiers, sailors, marine and airmen to prevent war crimes from being perpetrated by those around them, and perhaps the wisdom to see the war itself is wrong, based on lies, deception, coercion, bribery, terror, assassination, and as always -- mass murder into the millions!” ~ Bill Mitchell, Friday, March 21, 2003

The Chief of Police tried to incite a riot, we started a spontaneous peaceful march around Colorado Boulevard that quickly grew from 15 to about 200 people. We chanted to end the war on Iraq and "Arrest Bush". We did a die-in in the quad to rise up with the people of the world. People carried signs calling for an End of Corporate Terror on Columbia, U.S. Out of Afghanistan, U.S. Out of Iraq, and End the U.S. Clandestine Occupation of Palestine. It should be noted that the largest military recruitment office in California is directly across the street from Pasadena City College. We have protested nicely for the recruiters to leave us alone. We want education not incarceration into an unjust war. We chanted "Peaceful Protest" and for Victor and Marco's release for at least 2 hours until they finally told us Victor was being released from the downtown Pasadena jail. I think the Chief of Police on the Pasadena campus needs to be suspended, fired and arrested at once for felony assault.

PEACEFUL PCC STUDENTS ATTACKED, ARRESTED BY PASADENA POLICE
PROTEST PASADENA POLICE BRUTALITY AND PCC ADMINISTRATION COMPLICITY

FRIDAY 3/21, 3:00 pm

QUAD AREA NEAR THE C BUILDING

During a peaceful walkout rally today (Thursday, March 20, 2003) at 1:00 at Pasadena City College, students Victor Mendoza and Marco Martinez were assaulted with pepper spray and batons by Pasadena police officers and arrested for helping organize the lawful, First Amendment-protected student protest.

Witnesses report BRUTAL, UNPROVOKED FORCE USED BY POLICE OFFICERS before the walkout had even begun. Several other students were pepper-sprayed, batoned, and detained, but Victor and Marco, members of Students for Social Justice and MECHA, respectively, were held on campus and then transported to Pasadena jail.

As of this writing, Victor Mendoza is being released with a citation for public disturbance, while Marco Martinez is being held on much more serious felony charges for inciting a riot -- a riot which never occurred. THE ONLY VIOLENCE IN THIS PEACEFUL STUDENT WALKOUT AND PROTEST CAME FROM PASADENA POLICE, WHO ASSAULTED STUDENTS AND THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Representatives will meet with Pasadena City College President Kossler Friday 3/21 at 3:00 p.m. in the C Building. Supporters of Marco and Victor will also converge on the quad area outside the C Building to demand that President Kossler and the PCC administration have these charges dropped and PROTECT THEIR STUDENTS INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THEM.

Students are outraged that this school administration could allow the Pasadena police to attack its own students as they peacefully practiced their freedom of speech rights. But this is only the latest in a series of fascist crackdowns on freedom of expression on this campus. Several months ago, a PCC shuttle driver was fired for playing KPFK radio in the shuttle while working.

Please come join us FRIDAY, 3/21, at 3:00 ON THE PASADENA CITY COLLEGE CAMPUS. Demonstrators will gather in the quad area outside the C Building. Victor and Marco and all students of conscience need your support.

THE WAR ON STUDENTS HAS BEGUN. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF STUDENTS AND OF ALL AMERICANS.

The reality of the situation is that we live in a police state. This country becomes more militant and violent every day. This disease grows within this country proportionate to the rate of destruction and violence inflicted internationally.

Too many of us are imprisoned. Too many of us are attacked for having a voice or an independant thought. Too many of us afraid to speak out and afraid to protect even ourselves from this violence. The most frightening aspect is that the most violent and the most ignorant people of this country are the same ones proclaiming to be with God. They have perverted what was once good and have made it foul and unholy.

Who would have imagined that the greatest evil of this millenium and (time will tell) all of humainty would be disguised as the most pious? This cold calculating darkness, this complete hatred and contempt of peace has a name and it is Bush.

Be afraid.

oh yea, back to PCC.

Students were brutalized by the campus police, there is no excuse for this. Campus Police should be armed with the responsability and training to be able to deal with a diverse group of non-violent student protesters in a way that does no harm and protects everyone's rights.

Some of us beleive that the reason campus police are cracking down on us is because the chief is also working for the Army recruitment center across the street. There is also no excuse for this. While we have not proved that our campus police chief is directly paid by the recruitment center (the center that recruits the most kids in the state of california), we know that there is a connection.

At one of our Anti-war rallies last semester we were using a megaphone to address our campus. The chief came up to us and said we were not allowed to use amplified sound on campus, but we had a permit. After he threatened to take away our bullhorn, we marched over to the recruitment center across the street. There, many of the students walked into the building and delivered to them a written message demanding that they pack up and leave as they are not welcomed by our community to prey on our troubled youth. Inside the office, sitting behind the desk, wearing the green uniform of a recruitment officer, was our chief of campus police. When I saw him sitting there, perplexed by our protest, I handed him our demand and said, "Oh, so you work here too."
To which he replied, "And now I know who you are."

He does not know me, I'm not sure if he ever will. I just hope he can find himsef and figure out wheather he wants to serve and protect the students of PCC or encourage them to give their lives to the US Army.

Sadly, somehow it does not surprize me the way we were treated by a police force that is under the command of one who would like to recruit us all to fight and die for the United States Empire.

What happend at pcc last thursday should never be forgotten. Protesters and students saw first hand the awful police brutality by the campus police. They saw how innocent students were beaten and peppered sprayed for doing what this country is based on .FREDOM OF SPEECH! Students fight back and let your voices be heard! Let's not just look back ,but bring justice to the campus. Protester or not last Thursday what the campus police did was wrong. STAND UP FOR THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE. CAUSE THE THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE DON'T STOP!!

Looks like the power of the people got his widdle bwoken arm twisted - and it wealy wealy hurt.

Go home junior, you don't want to get a boo boo.

The real american patriots stand up for thier constitutional rights.
Simon has become such a fascist that he doesent even support the 1st amendment of the Bill of Rights anymore..
But then again he is a lying sack of shit that claimed to be a special forces soldier when really he was in the coast guard.
WHY DONT YOU GO READ THE CONSTITUTION DUMMY
silly rabbit!!!!!!!!

I wonder if you'll ever get tired of repeating the same old lies. You know, I know, and everyone here knows the truth - that you're too ignorant to understand English.

As evidenced by this latest incoherance. Pray tell, oh so smart one, how I have in any way suggested anything remotely like not supporting the 1st Amendment?

How about an update on the students and their situation? I know the ACLU has been asked to help, but they have a lot going on right now. Perhaps the students have been told to not discuss this since it will likely become a civil or criminal case against PCC and the officers involved? At the very least, the trustees and president have some apologizing to do to the community and students.

No one has mentioned this, so I will...Three students were detained, two latino students and a white student. The reason why I bring this up is because the white student was let go with no charges, while the latino students were detained and threatened with felonies...As a latina at PCC, I dont trust the campus police with my security.

When it doesn't go your way scream racism. Maybe the white boy had no priors and knew when to keep his mouth shut.

Your comment is intrinsically racist...

Look whos talking? you dont even know when to use which "there." Students attend community college for various reasons. Going to community college doesnt make someone stupid.

I attend a very good college and I found that it does mean that you are smarter if you go to one of these schools. Community colleges are for retards who couldn't get in anywhere else. If they were smart and not dumb than they would know that any employer would choose a state school graduate over a moron community college grad anyday so , yes they are very much dumb and borderline retarded.

PCC had one of the best technology classes in the state
as a accredited college. I attended this and other colleges
and PCC was the hardest most exacting series I took.
Coming from the military on the GI bill didn't give me
all the money in the world to attend the big bucks schools
but I'm sure I could wax your educated ass anytime on
anything you care to name. You elitist puke.

Don't be a retard, you can get in anywhere with the financial aid available, I come from family just above the poverty line so don't give me your elitest bullshit. Just admit that you and your peace protestign friends are all retarded and can't get into any good schools simply because you don't have the ability to get good grades. I'd challenge you anytime, but I'm too busy studying and don't really have enough time to have a monon challege or walk around on the streets to protest for a dumb cause!

Your name doesn't sound very Native American Indian to me...when are you leaving?

please stop the bickering, stop responding to the govt trollies. there's too much vital information that needs to be shared and exchanged right now to let them have their way with indymedia. this post is a good example. there's a good spot here and there and then lots of crap and stupidity in between. the people who need this information have to wade through all Bush Admirer's crap, then through all the retorts and insults, then through more peripheral bickering, and on and on, until I start to wonder if ALL of this isn't gov't trolls, even the guy's like sheepdog et al who fight back against BUsh Admirer. Shut the fuck up already and say something worthwhile if you have to say anything at all. Exchange real information, and stop helping these fuckheads clog indymedia with their garbage. enough already.

A message to acitivists, police, and people in general to help spread the anti-war movement progressively. This message in no way advocates that the offending officers shouldn't be brought up in criminal charges. It's a response to combat the problem.

We’re all people but the war has divided us. The Pasadena City College Police Department (PCCPD) has 6 sworn officers, not including the Chief of Police, The Lieutenant, and the Sergeant; The PCCPD also employs approximately 60 police cadets, according to a dispatch unit, who’s primary duty is to “observe and report” for the officers in order to establish “a safer learning environment” for the students at PCC; cadets are not officers and lack the training to respond in any other matter other than reporting. They are solely the ears and eyes of the campus police in any volatile situation. On an average there are about 2 officers and 6-8 cadets patrolling the campus daily, not counting dispatch units and “immobile” police cadets stationed in the campus offices. These officers and these cadets are living, breathing, and thinking people. They are working people. They stir from their homes before the sun rises and others don’t go home until it does the same. They give their time, effort, blood, and sweat just as any other working class student (most cadets are students as well) or person does to make their living, feed their families, and often contribute what they think is a positive addition to our community. Then what happened Thursday March 20th at the peaceful student march at PCC when approx. 150 students walked against the imperialist aggression of the United States against Iraq? Why did these officers, these people, whom serve and work to create “a safer learning environment” for the students at PCC, instead of support the rally, lash out and use excessive unprovoked force to detain four peaceful protesters? After all, it isn’t like they see the oil profits and enjoy the economic hegemony through the United States’ heavy-handed military imperialist actions. Just like any working class member, they are subjected to the consequences of budget cuts and labor cut backs, not to mention, receive only a small percentage of what their labor is truly worth. In fact, the reason there are even so many police cadets is because the campus wanted to cut back and save money, thus relieving many officers to assume much cheaper and disposable security guards – cadets. Then why? They are uninformed; just as people, the same people the protesters are trying to reach, they are blind to the motive and moral of the anti-war movement. They receive orders from their superiors; they are in accordance with federal agencies and the U.S. Patriot Act; they are subjected to the mainstream media that in support of war portray most protesters and activists as pseudo-terrorists and unpatriotic threats to social and economic stability. If the anti-war movement is demonized then it is that much easier for these officers, these people, much like a lot of the public, to lash out in highly adrenaline pumped situations, such as a protest, when emotion runs high and dissent against the status quo is more than evident. When they watch the television and see nationwide, worldwide, crowds of angry people protesting and when they hear of terrorist threats, and when their heads are clogged with the propaganda of the Bush regime, when they see a crowd of energetic, loud, and passionate protesters, it is easy for them to overreact, especially given the case that they are not as experienced in these situations as other larger, older, and active police departments. The same goes for many inexperienced, young protesters who yell aggressively and taunt and provoke the police; they forget that they’re people and they don’t even stop to think: perhaps this officer –doesn’t- support the war either. Regardless, there is an important point that needs to be made clear; we are all in this together – police officer, cadet, protester, faculty member, and every single breathing person. This is an unjust war that will affect the entire world. Thus, as we are all in this together, we shall educate everybody. If the movement wants to reach people on campus and people everywhere, then they shouldn’t exclude those 6 sworn officers and approximately 60 police cadets on campus. They shouldn’t exclude the 34 sworn officers of the South Pasadena Police Department, and they shouldn’t exclude the 230 sworn officers of the Pasadena Police Department. At the anti-war rally during the Academy Awards in Hollywood, 800 L.A. Officers and 200 Highway Patrol units arrived to “control” and “disperse” the rally; there is another 1000 people, 1000 working class people, also victimized by this system and manipulated by the media of this war that need to be reached. Let’s reach them. Instead of standing off with these people, let’s educate them. In our rallies, let’s include them and not yell at them. Let’s invite them to teach-ins. After all, if they are our friends and they are well informed, then perhaps it will be that much harder for them to shoot us, beat us, and gas us. Once we break the illusion that we are unpatriotic potential terrorists then it will be evident to the public that what we want is peace. The harder we try to reach them the harder it is for them to demonize us. It will help us prevail, stop this war, and perhaps change this world. Thus, don’t let this war divide us – the more it tries, the harder we try and the more people we will reach through the image of our empathetic outreach to the authorities most people respect.

Screw the fascist police!
by jake • Wednesday March 26, 2003 Wedt 04:28 PM

The police have declared war on Americans.

The people will be victorious!

Fuck the police!

Last Friday afternoon, March 21, 2003 I was approached by Mr. Chuck Champlin in the quad after 3 p.m. He asked my name and wrote it down in his little book. I showed him the post I had just published on http://la.indymedia.org regarding my statement about the horrors I had witnessed the day before in the C-Building as Victor, Jackson, Marco and Cesar were attacked by campus police. I will reprint the letter here because Mr. Champlin made some comments about it.

Mr. Champlin said he could understand how upset I must have been to see someone treat another person so badly. I responded that the chief is obviously a very sick person because he brutalized and ordered the illegal beating of students; I want to see the chief get the help he needs, he is not qualified to be in his position and he needs to be arrested at once. Everyone who followed the illegal orders to brutalize, guard doors, and condone by participating in these illegal actions should be charged with felony assault. The actions I witnessed were outside the law; and I do not want this to happen again. Every officer must be held accountable for following illegal orders and using violence against nonviolent people is a very serious crime.

Mr. Champlin asked me where Alvaro Maldonato was on campus. I told him Alvaro would not be coming today; but that several people were in a conference with the school president. Mr. Champlin wanted to point out an error in one of the Students for Social Justice flyers (attached here) - if I wanted to listen. I said by all means, go ahead. He pointed out to me that Alvaro was not suspended for playing KPFK on the PCC shuttle bus, he was suspended for disobeying the memo not to play KPFK radio on the school shuttle or that only a certain 4 stations may be listened to on the shuttle. I told Mr. Champlin that he and/or whomever decided that they could just arbitrarily decide which stations would or would not be allowed on the public school's shuttle bus and proclaim that to be the new "official" policy - that they had no right to do so. The courts have upheld similar cases time and again. It is a matter of free speech. I cited an example of public access television and how persons without money were not allowed the same amount of free speech as big advertisers and that public access television exists today to compensate for the disparity.

I also told Mr. Champlin that it is not easy to listen when people disagree with our views but I happen to know that Alvaro turned the radio off immediately when one of his passengers expressed that he did not want to listen to it. (I guess the ideas of being responsible and seeking peaceful resolutions to foreign policy issues are disturbing to some people. Personally, I am bothered by homelessness, police brutality and half a million dead Iraqi's because of the last 12 years of U.S. bombing campaigns and embargoes. I did not say that.) But I know that it is important for everyone to be allowed to speak his or her mind. I used to think things that I now believe to be wrong; but if I had never got the chance to talk it out and listen to how my ideas did not work, then I would not have evolved as a person or developed healthier attitudes. Free speech is necessary for everyone. Growing is a process, you can not stop it. He said he thought that was an interesting point and that I had expressed myself very well.

I asked Mr. Champlin if I could press charges myself against the police chief. He suggested I file a police report downtown Pasadena. He gave me his card before he left. It looks like a Pasadena City College business card. His title is Director Public Relations.

A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED BY THE ISSUING AUTHORITIES ALL THE WAY DOWN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND
by Regina Record o Saturday March 22, 2003 Satt 08:05 AM
reginarecord@earthlink.net

I found this flyer posted at Pasadena City College today. The Chief of Police on campus grabbed Victor by his broken arm (his arm was already in a sling) and tried to choke him and force him into a little room with a guard. It was a sting operation. They were waiting for us with police stationed outside all the doors on the main side of the C Building: there were guards outside the president's office. I saw a policeman spraying a little can of chemicals into Cesars face. I cried and screamed "NO!". It broke my heart to see a human being treat another person like that. They used their batons to hit at least 3 people and the police broke a reinforced window of one of the doors with his baton. Policemen should realize they can be charged for carrying out illegal orders because what they did was wrong, immoral and illegal.

"It's a sad day for a "happy hour" -- but that is community, they will have it on TV, it is seen as tragic and disgusting by everyone, and now with this merciless use of disproportionate force, I stand firmed against the path of "our" troops -- marching without lawful orders, in violation of the United States Constitution, which every member of the US Armed Forces took an oath to uphold, protect, and defend; against all enemies, domestic and foreign! When unlawful orders are given, a crime has been committed by the issuing authorities all the way down the chain of command. And it is every soldiers, sailors, marine and airmen to prevent war crimes from being perpetrated by those around them, and perhaps the wisdom to see the war itself is wrong, based on lies, deception, coercion, bribery, terror, assassination, and as always -- mass murder into the millions!" ~ Bill Mitchell, Friday, March 21, 2003

The Chief of Police tried to incite a riot, we started a spontaneous peaceful march around Colorado Boulevard that quickly grew from 15 to about 200 people. We chanted to end the war on Iraq and "Arrest Bush". We did a die-in in the quad to rise up with the people of the world. People carried signs calling for an End of Corporate Terror on Colombia, U.S. Out of Afghanistan, U.S. Out of Iraq, and End the U.S. Clandestine Occupation of Palestine. It should be noted that the largest military recruitment office in California is directly across the street from Pasadena City College. We have protested nicely for the recruiters to leave us alone. We want education not incarceration into an unjust war. We chanted "Peaceful
Protest" and for Victor and Marco's release for at least 2 hours until they finally told us Victor was being released from the downtown Pasadena jail. I think the Chief of Police on the Pasadena campus needs to be suspended, fired and arrested at once for felony assault.

PEACEFUL PCC STUDENTS ATTACKED, ARRESTED BY PASADENA POLICE PROTEST PASADENA POLICE BRUTALITY AND PCC ADMINISTRATION COMPLICITY

FRIDAY 3/21, 3:00 pm

QUAD AREA NEAR THE C BUILDING

During a peaceful walkout rally today (Thursday, March 20, 2003) at 1:00 at Pasadena City College, students Victor Mendoza and Marco Martinez were assaulted with pepper spray and batons by Pasadena police officers and arrested for helping organize the lawful, First Amendment-protected student protest.

Witnesses report BRUTAL, UNPROVOKED FORCE USED BY POLICE OFFICERS before the walkout had even begun. Several other students were pepper-sprayed, batoned, and detained, but Victor and Marco, members of Students for Social Justice and MECHA, respectively, were held on campus and then transported to Pasadena jail.

As of this writing, Victor Mendoza is being released with a citation for public disturbance, while Marco Martinez is being held on much more serious felony charges for inciting a riot -- a riot which never occurred. THE ONLY VIOLENCE IN THIS PEACEFUL STUDENT WALKOUT AND PROTEST CAME FROM PASADENA POLICE, WHO ASSAULTED STUDENTS AND THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Representatives will meet with Pasadena City College President Kossler Friday 3/21 at 3:00 p.m. in the C Building. Supporters of Marco and Victor will also converge on the quad area outside the C Building to demand that President Kossler and the PCC administration have these charges dropped and PROTECT THEIR STUDENTS INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THEM.

Students are outraged that this school administration could allow the Pasadena police to attack its own students as they peacefully practiced their freedom of speech rights. But this is only the latest in a series of fascist crackdowns on freedom of expression on this campus. Several months ago, a PCC shuttle driver was fired for playing KPFK radio in the shuttle while working.

Please come join us FRIDAY, 3/21, at 3:00 ON THE PASADENA CITY COLLEGE CAMPUS. Demonstrators will gather in the quad area outside the C Building. Victor and Marco and all
students of conscience need your support.

THE WAR ON STUDENTS HAS BEGUN. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF STUDENTS AND OF ALL AMERICANS.

Two Pasadena students arrested today at a peaceful walkout rally; Protest police brutality and the PCC administration's wrongful charges

Friday 3/21 at 3 PM!!!

During a walkout rally today at 1:00 at Pasadena City College, students Victor Mendoza and Marco Martinez were assaulted with pepper spray and batons by Pasadena police officers and arrested for helping organize the lawful, First Amendment-protected student protest.

Witnesses report brutal, unprovoked force used by police officers before the walkout had even begun.

Representatives will meet with Pasadena City College President Kossler tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. in the C Building.

I announced myself somewhere in the middle, Regina Record, Student and member of Students for Social Justice. I remember saying we must prosecute every single person who broke the law because the only way to make sure this never happens again is to hold every person accountable for what they did. Anyone who participated without trying to stop this horrible and illegal injustice including gun carrying police officers all the way down to the cadets who guarded the doors.

The group decided to discuss the topic of Police brutality on campus. By first recounting what happened and then deciding what our response should be.

Jackson: Thursday Walk-Out was scheduled at 1 p.m. to invite people to join us if the teachers allowed us to address their classes. We were not in the building 20 seconds before police had Victor by a broken arm and Jackson (self) against a wall, handcuffed in a small room. Captain Mullendor, head of campus police verbally threatening. Hands around throat. Marco was thrown to the ground, his head was stomped on and walked on over the entire length of his body by psychopathic cops. They walked on his head to get to me (Jackson). Blur. Reopen door, spray, batons. 25 minutes later, Marco was still on the ground. I was released.

Victor: I want to add to that it was twenty seconds or less, we did not even make it into the hallway. Faculty had spoken to police the night before. The chief knew we were coming. One of the other ring leaders got away, Kossler said. Treated us like animals. The only two who were arrested were Latino students. People have noticed, students have noticed and faculty have noticed (the inherent racism of the incident). Was it because of race? Was it because we are activists? We were attacked. That is the bottom line. At 7 p.m. there will be a board meeting. Kossler double talked in our meeting on Friday. He kept saying we had some problem in the way we organized this.

Marco: I got in between a policeman and someone who got away. That is why I was charged with a felony. The person they were hitting got away. I want to see these cops off this campus.

James: As a Chicano… Go to the meeting tonight. This campus IS… 1.) We have students on this campus very uncomfortable. The climate is not conducive to Raca`. The Board listens and have told Kossler. Agenda, first students. Kossler does three things 1.) Double talks 2.) Patronizes 3.) Acts like a politician. Must go to another meeting now. Be at the board meeting by 6:30 p.m. and fill out a card to speak. If the rom is full, then you might get locked out. Martin decides how many minutes you can speak.

Karen:
Danny Medina: Cop broke the window with his flashlight.

It is illegal to pepper spray inside a building.

Was a police cadet on campus. Investigation. Fallacy. They said students came forward swinging. They lied and said Victor tried to break into an office.

William:

Phillip: I got maced and they took my mask away.

Someone from the Coalition to Stop Police Brutality

(Could hear loud chanting outside. ASB (Associated Students) were doing a rally for no more California Community College cuts.

Victor: Was this racially motivated or not? This hatred and fear pumped out by the media. This is what happens during war. How do racism and war tie together? The cops, how did they become racist?

Karen: School asked someone from the school newspaper: Are you goiing to let me see the pictures? No. He said he was not pro-war or anti-war. Thin with a beanie.

Joe/Blackman extra copies in case they destroy our.

Chad: full video editing suite and cameras friend can convert from digital.

One steward had a video camera.

Written on the blackboard:
1.) Kossler at 2 p.m. regarding the demand. (What happened?)

2.) Propaganda campaign. Flyer of information. Apologies to students, the community and faculty.

3.) Board of trustees tonight.

4.) Demonstration, town hall.

5.) Student Coalition to Stop Campus Police Brutality.

6.) Legal issues, photos, videos, witnesses, for the lawyers.

7.) Community support.

COORDINATE

Allegraysn022@hotmail.com

(On Friday) Kossler only wrote down the names of the people in attendance. (He did not take any notes.)

Jim Laugherty Lawyer's Guild is sending 2 legal observers and a local attorney will try to speak. Students free speech rights copies if anyone wants them. Laugherty recommended that:

1.) Everyone be on your best behavior tonight.
2.) Have real clear points regarding our position in making these demands.

MEChA_de_pcc@AOL.COM
MEChAdePCC@aol.com?

Apologize to community.

Jackson: We gotta take care of our cause as well. People are being killed right now in Iraq.

Shane: Nick Hoekstra was another policeman.

Meet again tonight at 5 p.m. in the cc lounge. Karen has video of Jackson being dragged in have atty look at it first.

To: Pasadena City College Board of Trustees:

The climate of war has created a hostile environment and tolerance of repression. This resulted in the physical and emotional abuse by the campus police of students and faculty on Thursday, March 21, 2003 during a peaceful anti-war demonstration and walkout. The Pasadena City College community is offended by this breach of constitutionally protected rights of freedom of speech and assembly and hereby demands the following:

All charges be dropped against those who were arrested or charged in relations to the March 21st event.

The administration take no disciplinary action against any student who organized the event, or any students, staff members or faculty members who participated in this event.

Officer Young, Officer Mullendore, and any officer implicated in this brutality be suspended pending an independent investigation and dismissed if the investigation warrants it.

Public apology from the administration and campus police to the student body, those students abused and/or arrested, their families and the community at large.

Outside police not be brought onto campus for student, staff, or faculty organized demonstrations.

Campus police be properly trained in non-violent methods for dealing with any situation on campus.

The attorney's phone number is Judy (626)358-1172.

We responded to brutality against students.

Chuck Champlin, the campus PR guy is gathering names. Asking people who the leaders are. Becky saw him. Now he wants to debate our campus advisor.

Police are preparing a report on what happened. Public document, It was supposed to be ready today.

Pepper sprayed people could not be here today.

Thursday, they knew we were going into the building. Kossler is lying when he says there is no precedent for protests going through the buildings. There were 2 faculty protests with puppets. We have video tape of them, too.

If we're just singing to the choir...

Going throught hte building in silence.

11:59 p.m. in the Sculpture Garden.

Leroy Henderson knocking on a classroom door and asking to address a class is not disrupting.

Dr. Brown said this happened a few years back. Dalinger contact with one person; police brutalized them.

Brainstorming Session for Thursday Protest:

Thursday we could ask for one minute of silence during the band. Maybe thy would stop in the middle of a song.

"What Will said, I agree with it."

Go back to the quad at one through the Sculpture Garden and walk through the...

Thursday at noon in the quad a band called Candella/ doing a dance. Markitos, Victor & Jackson could all wear black duct tape over their mouths. (loud laughter).

Marco: We must honestly let them know what happened. Doesn't want to be raised on a pedestal, but... We must implant in everyone's mind during spring break what we've been going through. Our job is to un-tie people's blindfolds. Our growing in numbers is going to change the shit.

Flyers.

Request for a Speak Out.

Victor addressing what Jackson said: What is being put out by the school is not the truth. Rely on the flyers.

Talked to a girl that was so not into police brutality. Ignorance and apathy are what you're up against.

Someone said this was not a peaceful demonstration. A guy with a mask...

Tape: Students are expecting to join protest with tape on your mouth? Protest should educate people. Good flyer, read it outloud to the people who won't take the time to read it.

Signs. Chants.

Go when buildings are most crowded - ten minutes before the hour when classes let out.

Victor response: We gave you the flyer. We told you they were lying. Either you stand up or you don't.

The 16th is another board meeting. City hall. Points of flyer.

Indara: Stand on Colorado Boulevard, people in black with tape on their mouths. Take a petition and letters to the board.

Cindy: Manny (Cesar?) - general population if we want campus to take us seriously, then tape on the mouth might not be a good idea.

Cesar - Have it in your hearts to be serious. We are not laughing.

Any flyer should have demands listed on them.

Tonight 7 p.m. Tomorrow 11 a.m.

The L.A.P.D. Riot Officers oF Hollywood Should Be Suspended With No Pay. Someday the law Really should come up with a idea to correct Every cop in L.A.,Ca. from hurting any Innocent people in that city
or anywere in California Again Ever.
