Nick (n5667) hasn't gotten it in the last several dozen exchanges and isn't likely to get it soon.

Non-violent resistance to an unjust arrest causes public outrage and may even prompt public reform. The UCPD, SCPD, BPD combined attack on freedom of assembly the night of April 18th at the base of the UCSC campus was such an arrest.

Unfortunately there has been no accountability and no reform this far.

We will always have police apologists with us.

The challenge is to mobilize the community to establish policies that restore the right of free assembly that students and community established briefly through their MLK-like courage that night.

A significant part of that will be the willingness of the community to challenge oppressive police power where it next raises its head and to resist the immobilizing chill of police violence.

I've still received no response from UCSC regarding my Public Records Act request, filed at the end of April demanding memos and notes regarding police and UC administration work-up to their assault on the teach-in that night.
