Christopher Dorner's Manifesto: Los Angeles Cop Killing Suspect Leaves Disturbing Writings On Facebook
via @James_SAS
Christopher Dorner, the shooting suspect who allegedly went on a rampage and killed an officer on Thursday, wrote an online manifesto on his Facebook page detailing his violent plan.
The long and disturbing writings threaten harm to police officials and their families. It also makes references to Dorner’s former position as an LAPD officer, before he was fired in 2008.
“The Violence of action will be HIGH,” Dorner wrote. “I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty … You will now live the life of the prey … I have the strength and benefits of being unpredictable, unconventional, and unforgiving.”

Tonight in DTLA police tried to instigate a riot by attacking and brutally arresting a woman, slamming her face into the concrete for drawing a chalk figure on the ground. The crowd was so affected they amassed into the street, the police began firing dispersal weapons. Corporate media lied about the sequence of events and a CBS reporter who did not know they were still live on mic/broadcast explained that his newsdesk was ‘disappointed’ the crowd dispersed so there wasn’t further altercation with police. STAY TUNED FOR COMMUNIQUE

#OccupyLA: THIS IS A #POLICESTATE: 06/21/12 MIDNIGHT #CCA RAID DEBRIEF
#DEBRIEF
Tonight at 626Wilshire the police assaulted the camp because one lone participant was chalking. They surrounded him, wrestling him to the ground, unable to site the code they were enforcing. We reminded them that chalk is not vandalism, that it is not graffiti, it washes off, and at bare minimum it is free political speech.
We stood there, six peaceful protesters, standing our ground observing this injustice- filming the police. Questioning their authority. One pig tells us:
“Move to the corner of the sidewalk”
“If you don’t do what i tell you, i will make you”We had not moved any closer, we were not any threat to the police officers. We were peaceful protesters. The police called back up. Squad car after squad car pulled up.
They took out their batons. They took out their pepper spray. They began screaming in our face. They incited violence and began beating us. They dragged away three of our comrades. They were laughing. We stood our ground. They are the terrorists of the police state. Any fucking pig with a badge, baton and gun is a coward. LAPD is a fully funded, militarized gang.
ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE:
These are my comrades. We work together, we love each other, we learn with each other, we are inspired, and choose to be deliberately free. They are targeting us, it is almost unbearable. We are a threat to no one other than the status quo and those who choose to make themselves enemies of rebirth and revolution.We liberate space in front of the lobbyists, the financial and political elite, the bankers to protest the targeting of the homeless, the herding and purge of the poor on behalf of the private property owning class. This is what we get, this is the price of resistance. Constant brutality and repression, the court sytem, the prison industrial complex, monitoring and fucking fascism. The same factors that work to keep the poor and working class oppressed everyday since the dawn of time.
It gets worse for those in the struggle, before it gets better for anyone else. Both borders of the United States are experiencing mass social unrest, and this country is teetering on the edge of an awakening so brutal it can only go one of two ways. We all have power, how will you play into the history that is unfolding? They will come for your neighbor, and then they will come for you. We must unify. We must resist tyranny.
I ask you to question the meaning of your life.
I ask you to consider the centuries of oppression that have characterized humanity and to make a choice.
Will you enable it?
Will you be complicit?When you see the world for what it is- famine, disease, oppression, greed, violence and torture- what will you do?
Will you continue swimming in the status quo, keeping it afloat because your compelled? Do you realize they have you chasing ever elusive ‘stability’ determined by your oppressors? Do you realize your television is brainwashing you?
Will you despair? Will you revolt?
We are all capable of revolting. It is in our nature as humyns to seek for a better world together, cooperatively. But you must ask yourself what it will take. And you must ask yourself.. what is the meaning of your life?
There is a solution, we work together, we strengthen the hive mind. We build collective will and energy to smash the oppressive institutions that own our bodies. The tide of human history is changing. We can employ a dual strategy: discredit and dismantle the oppressive system that stands, while simultaneously building the alternative we imagine. WE CAN AND WILL TRANSITION OUT OF CAPITALISM. Whether you are in the streets or in a cubicle, is your decision. Our life is meant to be more than production, conditioning and wage slavery. Take control over your life for the first time since you were born into this capitalist system.
Every time they beat us, our resolve is deepened. Every time they arrest us, they know not the demons they create. We are in solidarity with prisoners and resistors everywhere. Our actions, our inspirations, our resistance is more than our bodies and mind can bear. The human spirit guides us, the energies of all humyns who have fallen at the hands of the bloodthirsty monarchs and capitalists flows through our hearts.
There will be no peace, until there is justice. There will be no justice, without revolt. I don’t think you understand.
The bureaucracy is dead. Long live the revolution!

LAPD And Special Forces Conduct Military Maneuvers In The Skies Above Downtown #LA #US
[…]
The LAPD said the purpose of the training was in part to ensure the military’s ability to operate in urban environments.
Chief Warrant Officer David Duran was a U.S. Army aviator for 12 years. He now flies Blackhawk helicopters for the National Guard in California. Duran says what KCAL9 saw Wednesday night could be a dry run for a future mission.
“They do a lot of mockup training,” said Duran. “But it’s always best to get the closest terrain layout to what the objective is.”
Duran said the military chooses training environments based on what they might be facing in the near future.

Next stop for #Occupy protesters: Rose Parade
[…]
“It’s Occupy 2.0 and why not start on New Year’s Day in Pasadena?” said Daniel Niwander, an activist with Occupy Pasadena.
Pasadena police and Tournament of Roses officials have been negotiating with Occupy forces for several weeks on a plan that they hope will prevent any disruptions to the parade. Pasadena officials are allowing the Occupy group to march the route at the end of the parade, after all the floats have passed.
And Occupy is planning quite a show.
Protesters intend to march with large banners that decry wealth inequality in the United States and to unveil a few colorful “floats” of their own, including a giant people-powered octopus, said Pete Thottam, an Occupy spokesman. The octopus will be made out of recycled bags, stretching 40 feet from tentacle to tentacle, and is designed to represent the stranglehold that Wall Street has on the political process, he said.

Homeland Security in #OccupyLA raid?
I spoke with an LAPD superior officer (I have his name but withholding it here and I know him to be credible) a few days ago and we had a discussion about how upset they were (men and women in blue) about the night of the raid. He stopped me because I was visibly upset, I had been crying (had just spent 3 days watching footage of the violence and was in tears… pistols to heads, multiple officers beating people sitting peacefully cooperating, and then there was Britton - the kid stuck up in the tree they pulled a rifle on). He had an honest, engaging discussion of the reality we really are living. I asked him if he was ‘okay’ with what happened. He said, he absolutely was not! I told him I knew the officers on the inside were not his men but believed them to be HomeLand Security (didn’t recognize ANY of their faces - we had 60 days to get to know their faces), he confirmed. He then said “we’re just as upset as you are, our conversations are consumed with this too.” As officers and community members, they are upset they are getting the rap for this, disturbed by the violence perpetuated on OLA peaceful protesters and the future of our country. He asked me if I thought the movement would fix all of this. I said, “I did!” He said good, because you guys may be our only hope.
One of our LiveStream moderators (dedicated, trustworthy… and all around awesome), with a military background, identified a few HomeLand Security officers a few nights before the raid. He followed them to the Federal Building, where he was detained (cuffed and stuffed) but not arrested. He was threatened, they threatened to make his family disappear, and they produced a picture of his son he had never seen before. Then released from their custody after scaring the shit out of him. Here his is testimony:
