Please copy and distribute widely. Get solidarity for the 100 arrestees by\r\npassing this on widely. At this early stage there are varying reports on the number of arrests. But\r\nbesides those taken in to the jail police have been detaining many people\r\nillegally and then letting them go after awhile. This is a standard Cincinnati\r\npolice tactic. They did it recently for the people supporting the actors strike\r\nwho were arrested actually doing civil disobedience against Proctor and Gamble\r\nin Cincinnati. This tactic also was used at the Republican (R2K) and Democratic (D2K)\r\nnational conventions in Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Go to the archives of the\r\nIndyMedia sites for those cities. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Also, from many TV and IndyMedia reports the Cincinnati police during N16\r\nstopped many groups of people on SIDEWALKS and made them wait around a long time\r\nuntil the police let them go. Many Cincinnati N16 protesters and bystanders were stopped\r\nand illegally frisked numerous times. One could call those arrests too. All this\r\nfollows the R2K and D2K patterns, too. The R2K and D2K police attempted to\r\ncorral protestors in fenced-in protest pits. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Groups of people can legally walk\r\non sidewalks without permits and without being searched. That is the law. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

N16 TABD. 100 Protesters Arrested today, Saturday, November 18, 2000 in\r\nCincinnati, Ohio, USA, \"the land of the free.\" <\/b><\/i>Cincinnati is\r\nfinishing up its months of \"Pig Gig\" celebrations because Cincinnati\r\nis historically known as \"porkopolis\" from its hog slaughtering and\r\nprocessing history. But in the last 2 weeks 2 African-Americans have been killed\r\nby the police, one under suspicious circumstances, from asphyxiation during his\r\narrest. A particularly brutal N16-protester arrest was similar in style to the\r\narrest that killed the black man. Was the N16 training of the police the cause\r\nof both of these very violent arrests? And why was no medical help offered in a\r\ntimely way by the police in both instances? There is much video footage of\r\nbeanbag shotgun rounds being used indiscriminately against N16 protesters. These\r\nrounds hit with enough force to break car windows, and did so during the N16\r\nprotests. International journalists in Cincinnati have remarked on the\r\ndisrespect by police of N16 protesters' rights in many ways. So the porkopolis moniker\r\nfits for many reasons. Article says \"call the jail at 513-946-6100 and\r\ndemand that all protesters be released unconditionally.\"

N16 Legal has just informed us at IMC that 100 Protesters have been arrested\r\ntoday. They are being held at Municipal County Jail 1000 Sycamoure in downtown\r\nCincinnati. N16 Legal has asked that we call the jail at 513-946-6100 and demand\r\nthat all protesters be released unconditionally. Reports have come across that\r\nprotesters have been refused water , have had their charges changed as many as\r\nfour times and even denied medication.<\/p>\r\n
A vigil began tonight at 9pm at the courthouse and will continue through the\r\nevening to harrass the jail and express solidarity with the protesters.<\/p>\r\n
One protester, Eliza Cohen, is being held on $400,000 bond and charged with\r\ntwo felonies.<\/p>\r\n
A Legal fund has been set up to help get protesters out of jail. Funds can be\r\nsent to<\/p>\r\n
N16 Legal 2352 Wheeler Cincinnati Ohio 45219<\/p>\r\n
A permanent site will be set up on Monday for wiring funds for bail.\r\nEstimates are that bail needed to be raised for yesterdays arrests is about\r\n$7200. Today it will probably be upwards of $20,000.<\/p>\r\n
Arraignment is set for Monday so protesters are probably being held through\r\nthe weekend unless bailed out.<\/p>\r\n

TABD Conference, Protests End Reported by: Valerie Miller, WCPO TV 9 (Scripps\r\nHoward)<\/p>\r\n
Demonstrators held rallies at Fountain Square and along other streets in\r\ndowntown against the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue conference.<\/p>\r\n
Protestors planning a peaceful demonstration found a police checkpoint at\r\nFountain Square. Officers searched everyone.<\/p>\r\n
The demonstrators were held behind barriers and police were everywhere.<\/p>\r\n
Police arrested several protesters Saturday, and Cincinnati Mayor Charlie\r\nLuken said he was pleased with the police response.<\/p>\r\n
The rally included a parade of pigs labeled for corporations. Protestors said\r\nbusiness leaders gathering in downtown for the TABD conference are responsible\r\nfor weak regulations.<\/p>\r\n
\"We lose environmental protection, worker safety protection, child\r\nprotection,\" said Audrey Mayer of Covington.<\/p>\r\n
From Fountain Square, protestors wanted to form a single file picket to drop\r\noff the pigs at several street corners. Police refused.<\/p>\r\n
The group wanted to move around town and we weren't prepared for that,\"\r\nsaid Police Chief Tom Streicher. \"We told them 'No'. If we are not prepared\r\nfor it and there are no permits for it, it becomes a significant disruption in\r\ntown.\"<\/p>\r\n
The procession moved up Vine Street to the Kroger building for the second\r\nplanned demonstration.<\/p>\r\n
Along the way police were visible at every corner. Officers followed on foot\r\nand on horseback. After yesterday's few outbursts of vandalism and violence,\r\npolice were keeping tight control.<\/p>\r\n
The protestors took a seat outside Kroger headquarters. When the final pig\r\nwas put in place outside the Chiquita building, the peaceful protest was over.\r\nThe crowd was not ready to leave.<\/p>\r\n
Officers arrested a total of 47 people Saturday evening for disorderly\r\nconduct after they refused to clear downtown streets. That brings the total of\r\narrests this weekend to 56.<\/p>\r\n
Police started taking people into custody a few hours after the group's\r\n3-p.m. demonstration permit expired.<\/p>\r\n
The protestors said they simply want to call attention to corporations'\r\ntreatment of workers.<\/p>\r\n

The third day marked a move by the Cincinnati Police Department to stop most forms of protest. At a scheduled rally at Fountain Square police searched all persons entering the square as part of a \"police investigation\" into broken windows the previous day. Typical profiling occured as people perceived by the police to be non-protesting citizens where not prevented from free movement in groups around the city while protesters where routinely dispersed using pepper spray for simply walking in small groups. The culmination of the day was a police brutality march during which a number of protesters where arrested and afterwards protesters were swept off the streets by police. \r\n\r\n\r\nParts 1 and 2: \r\n\r\nN16- Cincinnati Video Diary \r\n\r\nAction-Drama-Verve \r\n\r\npart 1 of video log of anti-capitalist actions in Cincy.
