Jonathan Dale Rapoport Reports Incompetence and Negligence by the Oakland Police Departmen (tags)
The attached event report pertaining to a head injury that caused a concussion and lacerations to the top of my head contains blatant fabrications and shows either complete incompetence by the OPD or a calculated effort by the OPD to renege on its responsibility to do basic police work. I sincerely hope that this poor service is not motivated by the unfavorable publicity that I have published on the “San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center” (http://www.indybay.org) regarding the OPD while working as a freelance journalist.
"Same-Old-Same-Old from the Corporate Media: the Oakland Justice for Oscar Grant Protests" (tags)
Introduction by the very prominent San Francisco Bay Area radio journalist, writer and columnist, Davey D: This article by Joseph Anderson is important on a number of fronts. First it details accurately much of what took place in Oakland, CA, on Friday night, November 5th, 2010, after the sentencing was announced. The writer, along with photographer and photo-journalist Jay Finneburgh, not only monitored and documented the Justice for Oscar Grant march, and subsequent wholesale mass arrests, but kept a phone line open to our studios so folks not inside the riot police lines could actually hear what was being said. What was described by Anderson, documented by Finneburgh, and experienced by legal observers [including the NLG, one of whose members was also arrested, along with Andrea Prichett, founder of CopWatch] was a far, far, far cry from what was reported on the TV evening news when police held a press conference boasting about mass arrest numbers (152!). [In addition, officially and 'pretextually' declaring an entire neighborhood, a minority neighborhood, of course, to be "a crime scene", is a new political tactic by the police.]
