Encirclement or "Kettle" - Graphics

https://news.1rj.ru/str/RevToolboxRedux/2716

"Police can encircle all or some demonstrators in order to make multiple simultaneous arrests. This is to be done after demonstrators are allowed an opportunity to disperse.

Oakland Police used this tactic on several occasions. This tactic resulted in most of the 700 or so arrests since Occupy started. On January 28, 2012, officers kettled protesters at 19th and Telegraph, and the YMCA, but did not allow marchers to disperse, as witnessed by Oakland North Reporter John Osborn."

#stream Kerwin's live stream is having technical difficulties. No stress, fb live is terrible. Scanners are quiet

#stream march is stalled in mobil gas station parking lot, blue police lights visible. Lot of tension. They're on the sidewalk and obeying the law, cops have NO reason to interfere

#stream they're moving again

#stream cops are staying much more visible than prior nights. Seeing them drive past march a lot. March is struggling to stay together and cohesive.

These freedom fighters have to be tired after 11 days out there holding it down. So much love for them.

#stream organizers are reminding all on the ground not to give cops any reason to say they're violent, to stay focused and peaceful. They're especially asking white allies to follow the organizers lead because BIPOC will face the consequences vid white people misbehave. Very important point

#stream I see two marked street medic and that makes me so happy! Street medics are there to help when you need them. <3

#admin reminder, there's no shame in being arrested fighting for justice. Jail support has your back. Write this number on your body; cops will confiscate your phone upon arrest.

#social we also have unconfirmed reports of large groups of chuds riding around in pickups. Stay with the group. When you go back to your cars, don't go alone.

#scanners reminder that they appear to be using a tactical channel we don't have access to for protest-related comms. We're listening but we can't guarantee we're hearing their comms.
