Updated: Another Attack by SDPD on The Homeless and Occupy San Diego

This morning at 5:20 under a bridge located by the downtown jail four blocks away from occupy, as I am wrapping up my sleeping bag and tarp, around the corner comes two black and whites, lights flashing. On the north side of the street three blue coats jump out of their car, on the south side,two blue coats jumped out of their car. Within seconds the officers were corralling us like cattle, to a seated position. I gathered my things and started walking behind two other guys already striding ahead. An officer yelled out to me, 'sit down'. I stopped and asked why they got to go, and again tried walking away and asked "was I being detained' and the officer said 'yes' and if I kept walking he would arrest me. So I put my things down and sat on the ground. He said we were being detained for illegal lodging and I told them about code 647 (e).

Across the street one man was body searched and another reading the Illegal Lodging code 647 (e) to the officers, as they continued to glare, their bright cop car spot light on a few individuals. The blue coats took many pictures of us. When they handed us our tickets on the south side of the street, officer Berhalter badge #6208 took a mug shot of you. The car they were driving had the license 1190517. I asked the blue coat clowns if everyone on both sides of the streets received citations and some said yes and others didn't want to say. I spouted off a little and asked if anyone had a camera for videoing or pics. Randy did, but said his battery was low.

As I sat there, detained for almost two hours I laughed at the inhumane actions of circus clowns, carrying guns and batons guarding us like extremely dangerous terrorists. Insisting they had to act like Nazi's for their own safety. What about my safety officer, from corrupt police officers abusing their power and privileges harming weak and vulnerable people in the wee hours of the morning? Specifically targeting people, because of their association with the Occupy Movement. I asked the blue coats if they just decided to take it upon themselves to attack this morning, or was it a higher ranking person. They stated it was a couple judges in the buildings above. I wonder who those judges are? Or was it someone else who ordered the entrapment.

During this event the homeless person that was reciting the Illegal Lodging code 647 (e) also told people about an attorney in town, working on a big case against the city and shouted out his name. Lawyer Dreher located at 835 Fifth Ave., Ste. 202. I plan on getting a hold of this person next week. Many people had to go to the restroom and were not allowed. People on the north side of the street were up and gone, while those on the south side watched all five officers, including one Sargent, act like little kids playing a game. Two blue coats tried to write tickets while two others glared towards us, hands on their belts close to their guns.

There was a homeless man in a wheel chair, with amputated legs above the knee and prostheses on both, given a ticket. Another to a homeless man named Mike, who had worked for craft foods for 16 years and was let go when Phillip Morris bought it. A man who just bought a plane ticket to go back and get married to his fiance in Ohio. About 35-40 people all together on both sides of the street. Many of the homeless don't want to go to shelters because of all the rules and regulations. It is understandable. Many of the shelters are faith based and people don't want to have to be subjected to religion while they get their lives back on track. I, being one of them. I am an atheist and I am a good loving person. It's my life and your life is yours.

It sounds like about half the people received tickets this morning, for being unfortunate, disabled, dislocated, destroyed by people and a broken system. What does it look like when the blue coats show up like storm troopers, at 5:20am harassing people that have just slept outside, under a bridge, five feet away from a 60 mph trolley, a large fan that blares loud consistently and many others without walls? Pathetic human beings!

Updated: I had been sleeping in this location for, four nights, never once given a warning by any officer regarding breaking the law and Illegal Lodging code 647 (e). Each night that I slept at this spot people showed up with gifts. These are the givers of life concerned about their brothers and sisters on the streets. They brought Christmas cookies, socks, water, tacos, coupons, crackers, sandwiches and fruit. Tonight when they arrive, it will be empty, no one to help and be of service too. There is a better solution to the homeless problem than, harassment and intimidation. It is called Love.

The War On Occupy and Homeless People by SDPD

Two days before Christmas, the attacks and arrests continue at Occupy San Diego by the SDPD. Not only are the finest clowns in town terrorizing the occupation, they are going after homeless people, their street homes and property two day before Christmas, a holiday Godly people celebrate. I thought people of faith, who read the bible, knew Jesus was one of those who occupied! Where are the Godly when the weak and vulnerable need them? Didn't Jesus say he came to help the poor and needy? Where are the church members and leaders who advocate for the homeless?

Wednesday evening the SDPD at around 5pm did a sweep of our camp, stealing our food, comfort supplies, sleeping bags, clothes and more. A few hours later the blue coats walked through our camp like militant soldiers searching for Osama Bin Laden, only to find a few worn out and tired sleeping occupiers. As SDPD approached those sleeping, the cameras and videos started rolling. A police officer went after the cameraman Chris and a confrontation broke out (video). SDPD officers are the terrorist of America not the finest. At 5:30am the blue coats approached our camp again arresting Fish.

Word is spreading that Mayor Jerry Sanders, wants the occupiers out before he gets back from his Christmas vacation. So instead of spreading holiday cheer, the SDPD spreads a nasty stench of rank bacon, violent actions and a portrait of The finest pigs in America. As the 2012 elections approach, the 99% have the power to take down a corrupt bastard (Jerry Sanders) that has terrorized occupy San Diego. Word has it Mayor Sanders is the biggest PIG in town, handing down orders to SDPD Chief William Lansdowne.

Last night occupy San Diego was under attack again, by the bacon grease freaks of the SDPD. As the blue coat goats numbers grew, it was obvious their slinky stealing hands wanted to rob us again. Rob us of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They can take our stuff, but they can't take our passion and conviction to stand up and speak out, against corruption and abuse of power. Not only did the slimy thugs steal our stuff, they went up the street and played big pigs to the homeless, removing them from their street homes two days before Christmas.

The holiday spirit has two faces in the SDPD. They have a happy face, when they take pictures for people heading into the theater at civic center to watch the nutcracker. They have a mean face, when they take pictures of the occupiers, who have become homeless due to the injustice that resides in this country. What is wrong with these pictures. Hypocrites I say, No hypocritepigs. The SDPD are not the finest when they blatantly discriminate between occupiers and folks heading to the theater. The real terrorist in America maybe your local police force, if they abuse their power and authority. When are we going to put the REAL Criminals behind bars?

Sitting and Sleeping Can Get You Incarcerated!

Six days before Christmas, the SDPD continues their personal vendettas. Arriving back at camp, after a couple hours at Panera Bread on my computer, I see two blue coats posted up, about ten feet away from Occupy San Diego. Engaged in conversation, eyes roaming looking for someone to harass, intimidate or arrest, these police officers sent a message out. It is ok to be jack asses, that tote guns and batons to protect them, from peaceful protesters. Protesters that have lost their homes, jobs, families, financial security and are living on the streets. All the protesters want, is to sleep quietly through the night, without being marginalized by psycho, human hating, storm trooping thugs.

Did you ever think you could go to jail for sitting on the ground or sleeping? Well folks you can. What is more destructive, peacefully sitting and sleeping? Or going to jail, because you sat or slept on the cold ground, outside on a raining night? I vote on answer number two. Sleep deprivation is dangerous and a tactic the police are using to oppress us, because we need sleep, not want to sleep. Sleep deprivation is a national epidemic.And it's Killing us. A hamster kept awake for three days will die. Randy Gardner, a high-school student, stayed awake for a record of just over 11 days as part of a 1964 Stanford University study. By the end, he couldn’t talk.

Wake up! The SDPD and police officers around the country and world, are the real terrorists and killers. Not all police officers have participated in this brutal torture called sleep deprivation, on occupiers and protesters around the world. But the ones that have, came at occupiers with a personal vendetta, NOT as a peace officer. Unacceptable friends! I recently heard San Diego lost all its watch dog groups. Well guess what sisters and brothers of Occupies around the globe. We Are The New Watch Dog Group heading to a city near you. We are pissed off and we aren't gonna take it anymore. Stop arresting us! Let us sleep! Remember the cameras and videos are always on you. We don't like being ignored. Expect us!

When Your Rights Are Under Attack, Fight Back

Yesterday at 11:30 a group of individuals from Occupy San Diego, marched from Freedom Plaza to the courthouse located at 220 W. Broadway in solidarity with the 51 people arrested on Oct. 28, 2011. Arraignments for all 51 people, were suppose to take place, but many charges were dropped and a few not.  Did they really drop the charges or are they secretly waiting to throw people under the bus. It seems odd and would not surprise me, that they will underhand these people. The courts have a year to put these charges in place, will they or won't they? Who knows!

As we gathered in front of the courthouse yesterday, it was evident they knew we were coming. Fifteen officers stood guard outside, as we told our stories and talked about the injustices in the system. One man told about how he had great respect for police officers, until their contradictions started bothering him. He told how he witnessed civilians spitting and getting citations by police, but then police do the same and nothing happens. How a police officer talked to a person in a car in the middle of the street blocking traffic for twenty five minutes and nothing happens. But civilians again are ticketed for the same behavior. I'm not feeling you can go to the police officers anymore for help, not feeling that anymore. They are not your friends.

Curtis told the group how he has been profiled since he was a little boy. If you grow up in the wrong neighborhood, you are apt to be targeted. Another lady said, just because you are homeless, does not mean you are worthless. Just because you have long hair, does not mean they are losers. I have seen the occupiers complying with the SDPD, but officers have stepped out of line and gone above the law many times in their actions at Freedom Plaza. Police officers need to understand they took a job and an oath to protect and serve. Not harass and intimidate.

Police officers have one of the most important jobs in the country. They need to take their aggression out on the suppressors, their Bosses!!! Bosses that get bought out by the 1%. Bosses that could be working with the cartel. Police officers, the people "The 99%" pay your salaries. You took an oath and have the authority to NOT carry out orders, you know violate citizen's rights. Officers you have the choice when you do your job. You can work for your corrupt bosses and carry out orders of corporate self interest. Or you can work for the people that pay you, the citizens. Who will you work for?

$13 Million Dollars Pissed Away!

I have been live at Occupy San Diego since Oct. 11, 2011. It is mind boggling the amount of money, cities and states are paying to corral and oppress the 99%. $13 Million dollars! Do you know what I could do with that much money? How many people could have been housed, fed, and clothed with that money? $13 million dollars pissed away, paying high paid babysitters to harass, intimidate and steal peoples belongings.

Something is terribly wrong with the picture I see in America. Money talks and if you do not have money, you do not have a voice. The people occupying all over the world are people that have lost their homes, jobs, loved ones. Their voices have been silent and mouths taped shut. Because what they have to say does not matter. Hey folks, this is not acceptable. Police states are not acceptable. $13 million dollars spent on keeping us down is utter B.S.!

My blood is boiling as I write this. Two days ago at Occupy San Diego one of the high paid babysitters of the SDPD decided his rights were more important than the ones protesting. This SDPD officer walked through an area, were we gathered and was pushing people around. Is this acceptable? Hell NO! This SDPD officer needs to be held accountable for his actions. This man took an oath that he does not follow.

Like all the police officers around the country cracking down on protesters this is not acceptable. We have rights! When this country spends $13 million on paying police officers to terrorize citizens that have been wronged by our system it's time to stand up and speak out. We will not tolerate your abuse. You do not own us. You will be held accountable for your actions. Beware! This is our country, also.

$13 million dollars could have made a difference to 1000's of people. Did that happen? NO! $13 million paid the crooks and their cult members to continue their oppression and harassment. Until we change the system and how our country operates nothing will change. Cops, police officers, public servants and corporations are not above the law. They don't own us. We are not going away. Expect to be held accountable for your lies and oppression!
