i think our general rule of thumb is if a cop
approaches us in any way, we do what they say. we're
not protesting anything. we're shiny happy people
dancing. if a cop tells us ot move on, we move on
immediately. we're about dancing, having a great time
sober or not, and moreover breaking people out of
their normative boxes. confrontation with cops is for
the anarchists. which is what we are, but not like
black bloc anarchists, bless their hearts.
cop watch is so we don't get tickets for our music
being too loud or creating a disturbance or anything
like that. cop watch is the person, who if they see a
cop walking toward us, we turn down the music and just
chill for a while. everyone will be dancing, so we
need someone to watch out backs. and we can take turns
with this. in fact, everyone shoudl be cop watching.
basically, we're legal but we might not be welcome.
anyway, a drunken cheers

So anyway, I'm new here in town - blame Trisha. And
some of this stuff may be me just trying to catch my
bearings. But who do we know for certain will be
showing up? Of course, I know there will be more
than
this hopefully by the end of the night, but it would
be good to know who's showing up for sure.
As for copwatch, I should say that since this is the
Bar, we should know that freedom of assembly is
still
one of our basic rights. Any cop who shows up while
we're still relatively sober can break us up, but we
can legally ask for his badge number and register a
complaint with his precinct, or even sue them. I
know
someone who squeezed an awful lot of money out of
the
system by doing this. I'm no lawyer, though - I just
know that while in most if not all cases, the cops
can
break us up, we have a potentially lucrative - if
lengthy - recourse to take.
Actually, Joe, do you have any sort of list of needs
for this whole thing? Posting exactly what's needed
would help a great deal.
PLURH,
