WANTED -- INFORMATION ABOUT UNDER-COP -– Be A Citizen Investigative Reporter for Indy Media. Words & Photos: W.I. Zard

Check the photos. The face is familiar!

This face has appeared frequently in association with aggressive UCSC police force action.

No uniform; he prefers to dress informally. Tying to be an undercover cop, he betrays his true loyalties by his behavior and associations. He is definitely a lousy actor. Special features – six feet tall, maybe more; thin face; lanky muscular build; very straight looong nose. He likes to make faces at photographers.

Is there anyone working at UCSC who has seen his name in a file, roster, staff photo sheet? Is there anyone who lives near this guy who knows his address? Someone must have seen him around town, shopping, doing errands – what, where? He really doesn’t act like a pleasant person and probably treats everyone the same way; maybe someone on the police force who would like to snitch on him? If you see him driving a vehicle, get his license plate number.

Maybe in an alternate persona he is a nice guy -- likes fly fishing, practices Buddhism, coaches ballet, cooks gourmet vegan meals for his family and volunteers at a homeless shelter. We also want to know about any of his positive characteristics.

Indy media readers are requested to be investigative reporters and submit information about the Unknown Under-Cop using the “add a new comment� form at the end of this features story.

Or, if YOU ARE UNDER-COP, please feel free to submit your own information. We’re open to controversial dialog. And in spite of the satiric nature of this article, we know you are a human being with feelings -- let’s hear ‘em. In spite of all of this little authority-vs-youth-warring, we love you. By the way, are you guys union?
