An anti-cop protest last night in North Portland smashed windows and turned over trash cans around Peninsula Park wound up with three arrests. About fifty protesters met up in the park at 10 PM last night to protest the verdict in the case of an Oakland police officer who shot and killed a suspect in the back—protests rocked Oakland last night, leading to a whopping 83 arrests. Portland’s protest was smaller and more tame. According to a report posted on Indymedia, protesters smashed the windows of Bank of America and Portland Community College’s security office while marched up MLK shouting, “ACAB – All coppers are bastards!”
The first comment on the Indymedia post asks, “WTF? Why PCC? I know folks just want to smash stuff, but the Community College? That makes no sense at all.”
Anyway, police trailed the protest on bikes and in cars and eventually arrested three people (23-year-old Bryan Wiedeman, 19-year-old Sara Kasper, and a Jane Doe), charging each with one count of Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, one count of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree, Interfering with a Police Officer, and Obstruction of Governmental Administration.
This is… well it’s just embarrassing is what it is.
^^^+1, ITA, etc. How is smashing school property… just… um… yeah, fail
Beyond weak.
Smash the State!
Up next pre-schools!
Fucking retards.
Anarchy means anti-education!
Oh, and it means that I litter.
So the cop was convicted and childish Portland crybaby’s make more work for window installers and custodians?
And completely ineffectual. No one besides the participants even understands what these protests are about. Bystanders just stare, befuddled.
Bored bored kids.
These fuckers are just ruining punk rock for me. I think I might have to convert to smooth jazz.
shot and killed a suspect in the back of what?
A Volkswagen… obvs.
Each of the 50 should have been charged with 49 counts of being an accessory to pointless stupidity.
@Blabby: You might be giving the participants too much credit there.
Did the cop that was convicted bank at B of A? They sure showed him a thing or two. Idiots
Hey Sarah, Mehserle was a BART cop, not an Oakland cop. And we’re lucky he didn’t get acquitted or East Bay would be fucking nuts right now.
maybe they were also protesting the tragic killing of 87-year old grandmother by the ClackaPiggies,
who are far more stupid than PoPiggies and all one has to do is recall their killing Kaada Foady a few
years ago in which one of the copsters went through a highly visible mental meltdown and became
jail fodder himself and the other one became a big-time Bible Thumper quoting Scriptures to one
and all and praying he don’t have to pay in the hereafter for his part in the killing…shame on the
dumbassed ClackaPiggies!
