[icffmaj] PHILLYIMC: Police critics arrested, home seized in police raid
Hi folks, I wanted to pass on this email alert I got from Prometheus Radio in Philly. While I am looking forward to hear more facts about this, I've known Prometheus many years, including both the people mentioned at the bottom as contacts, who I called myself and confirmed the email myself--so I consider this report to be very credible. I just helped make it a feature at the Philly IMC, and I'd appreciate whatever you can do it help spread the word about this.
Go the phillyimc.org article for the latest updates on this.
Sincerely,

Police critics arrested, home seized in police raid.
June 13th, 2007. Philadelphia Police descended upon the home of homeowners
who have been questioning police tactics in Mayor Nutters new "stop and
frisk" program. 4 residents were arrested in their home at 17th street and
Ridge Avenue, and the police are in the process of sealing the building.
The homeowners are being held at the police station, no charges have yet
been filed.
Homeowners had been circulating petitions calling upon Mayor Nutter and
Police Commissioner Ramsey to attend community meetings on the use of
excessive force, surveilance cameras, and the new "stop and frisk"
policy. The mayor and police chief have declined to attend these community
forums, but instead have seized the home and possessions of those who
question "Stop and Frisk," and are currently holding them in jail. While
many civil liberties advocates and residents of affected neighborhoods
have questioned the new police tactics, few imagined that simple criticism
of a city policy could result in the seizure of one's home and subject
residents to arrest.
More details coming soon.
