Two police officers practice intimidation tactics at counter-recruitment vigil This evening, a handful of protesters had taken their usual stations in front of the recruiting center (1317 NE Broadway), holding signs saying things such as, "Don't Die for Lies," "Killing is Wrong," and "War is Not the Answer." Most stood in a no parking spot. An unmarked police car parked across the street, an officer emerged and began observing and taking photos of the protesters.

Soon, a squad car pulled up and two police rushed up and told everyone to get out of the street [parking lane] or they would be arrested. A fairly burly cop earned extra credit in his "intimidation" practicum as he stood with barely an inch between himself and one of the protesters - the smallest of the bunch, a woman several inches shorter than the cop. He talked down at her; she stood her ground holding her sign without a hint of fear. Eventually, she complied got out of the parking lane.

The cops stated that they were there to make sure the protesters didn't get out of hand and block the doorway of the recruiting center or impede traffic or block the sidewalk or anything like that - like "those people who come on Fridays" do.(Yeah, SPOG's and supporters!!)

The squad car was parked in the driveway of a well-known sandwich franchise shop, blocking most of the sidewalk. The car engine was left running (have a global warming day!) for the 30+ minutes the cops stood cross-armed in front of the recruiting office.

The whole episode was a simple exercise in the aggressive, militant, hostile intimidation tactics that Portland Police (and other police departments - like LA on 5/1/07) use. Heavily armed persons making sure unarmed peaceniks stay out of the street.

But the protesters tonight got off easy, so to speak. No rubber bullets, no pepper spray, no arrests. And we're all stillalive....unlike some of those murdered by the Portland Police: Deontae J. Keller, Jose Santos Victor Mejia Poot, Kendra James, James Jahar Perez, James Chasse

They just passed a 'no sit' ordinance on Portland. In other words, stop to sit and eat, hold a picket sign, beg some change, or whatever if it doesn't involve a desigated park bench between the hours of 7 AM and 9 PM you get a ticket.

They are also good at using horses on demonstrators and will walk them over you if you are sitting or lying down protesting to make you fear a trampling.

On another topic, I walked to the top of Skinner's Butte this morning. It is a small hill with the Willamette River one one side and the downtown just directly south of it.

It is where Eugene Skinner build his log cabin in 1846 when he founded Eugene City which back then was called, "Skinner's Mudhole."

An electrical contractor was working at the only building up by the view area parking lot. I asked him what was happening and he said the city had all kinds of 'Homeland Security' grants to get rid of the old Moterola radio gear, antennas and dishes and was upgrading the facility.

He also told me how he had done work on that trippy looking array just installed on the Lame... opps ... I mean Lane County Court House.

The new fleet of militaristic police cars with the huge flat screen monitors for the computers need the bandwith this small piece of the 'all seeing eye' they are installing provides.

They worry that their increased capacity to build information databases on people complete with pictures and access to video from new street cameras that has been going up will not have the bandwidth to be used by their officers and other people when they are out there on the street.

I went up there to reflect on turning 53 Sunday and muse about 35 years in this area. I resent having this bad omen of the rising age of big brother is watching intruding on that.

But at least these sort of thing keeps me aware of which way the winds blow. But it makes me worry that by the time it has been 70 years I've been here that things will be far worse the the extreme bad we now experiance in police state America today.

Yeah, and the building they are refubishing with the new install was built in 1921.

They laid down gravel because water was pouring in on one side and reinforced the inside with steel beams. It is geting a new high tech fence complete with cameras and other big nrother fetish equipment.

Our tax dollars at work, oh boy.

Am I impressed or what? (Not.)
