Not you, not me! End police brutality!\" and \"Shame on OPD!\"\r\n<br><br>\r\nAt Twelfth we hung a left and approached the Riverside police station. Upon arriving, we locked arms in a circle of solidarity and had a moment of silence for the  victims in Oakland.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAfterwards, many people shared personal experiences of police brutality, violence, and harassment. One woman read off a list of names of people who had been shot (or shot at) by local law enforcement agencies in the past two months.\r\n<br><br>\r\nA courthouse worker came out and applauded us not just for occupying, but also for taking a stance against the carnage of the police state.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAnother passerby, an activist attorney, also stopped to address us. She offered legal support and other avenues to participate in local movements for change.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAll of this occurred under the watchful eyes of a lieutenant and several other officers, but they did not interfere with our peaceful protest.\r\n<br><br>\r\nOccupy Riverside continues to hold our position, and continues taking action targetting the 1% and, in this case, their protectors.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"rockero420@yahoo.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"Friday, October 28, 2011<br>\r\nRIVERSIDE
