The best idea I've seen in terms of how to deal with police @ OWS

[Epiphany4z]

Found this on reddit


"Observers will be dispersed throughout the crowds with whistles. If an officer is seen acting inappropriately or in any way violating our rights, a whistle will be blown ordering our protesters to immediately sit on the ground quietly so the officer can be identified and his actions observed."
From Occupy Dallas' open letter to the police.

1. Good idea, poor word choice..

I prefer "signaling" to "ordering", sends a more inclusive message better in line with the ethos of OWS.

3. Effective!! Also the bit I read

that if anyone goes all anarchist at a protest, fan out & encircle the asshole and RECORD AWAY.
