The Love Police AZ: Chalking the Police 2011

Sometimes you need just need to step back and listen when the people have something to say - especially the youth.

This awesome video was composed and put up on YouTube by thelovepolicearizona.

Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us...

Policing the Police: Next week's COPWATCH training

Hey all: here's the info for the training on the 28th, before the racial-profiling activities planned by Arpaio and the MCSO once SB 1070 goes into effect. We really need people to turn out for the trainings so you can come on patrol on the 30th. If you can't make it this weekend, head out to this one next week. It's a good training with great people and it's a way to really make a difference. Showing up with your own video camera is a bonus, but you don't have to be out there shooting any deputies - you just need to be diplomatic and take good notes.

After you're done with the training, come join us at Civic Space Park (424 N. Central Ave, where the New Fair Trade Cafe is) - we'll be having a rally to gear up for the 29th.

See you out there.

"Policing the Police" Training Tuesday.

This came in today from the good folks at Phoenix Copwatch. It's a good training and a great chance to meet like-minded folks If you want to fight police brutality and racial profiling in Arizona, I'd recommend Copwatching as one good way to do so. Just keep in mind that cops do go there uninvited to see what we're up to and who we are. Arpaio's posse also takes mug shots of us on the street so they can identify us, so don't go if you're vulnerable to them in any way.
