KOSSACKS, SPREAD THE WORD: OCCUPYSF has issued the following plea:
The only things that we need right now are you and your great signs! Sign-making equipment would be great also.
Can't wait to see you!
Love,
OccupySF

The Department of Public Works is allowing anyone claiming affiliation with Occupy SF to take any of the things that were stolen last night. They are asking that we provide descriptions of what was taken. Some of the things that were taken:
Food, water, tents, pop-up canopies, a double-burner stove, propane tanks, an entire kitchen's worth of dishes, spices, cooking equipment, sleeping bags, pillows, sleeping pads, etc.
Can folks in the 99% help us get our stuff back? Thank you!
Note: You have to go to 2323 Cesar Chavez in person to claim items Monday through Friday from 8am to 2:30 pm.
If you got video last night of explicit police brutality please contact us right now. We have to refute the Police's lies with proof.
We will be streaming soon. Check the Video Feeds link above.
Police barricades are now up and blocking all Federal property at the occupation. SFPD is working with Homeland Security on the ground to block us in.
WE MUST HOLD OUR GROUND. WE WILL NOT MOVE. COME WITH US NOW!
Here's contact and occupy address information:

SFPD Ordered to Attack the Peaceful Encampment at Occupy SF
Published on Thursday, 06 October 2011 05:01 | |
For immediate release:
Thursday, October 6, 2011
Contact: Occupy SF
Last night the SFPD issued us an unsigned, undated notice that declared we had to pack up our tents without giving us a timeline or else we would risk arrest.
They said that we could remain occupying if we pulled down our tents and complied with their other demands.
We complied with their demands by taking down our tents and beginning to clear-out the rest of our infrastructure that was in violation of City and/or State laws.
We made a call to action. Our numbers doubled.
Occupy Oakland, along with many others, immediately responded when we announced that the cops were here to take us down. Thank you Occupy Oakland and all others!
Yet still, the police, wearing helmets and carrying batons, formed a perimeter around our goods and prevented us from saving anything while they supervised Public Works employees as they stole everything.
Occupy SF and Occupy Oakland surrounded the police cars and Public Works trucks to prevent them from leaving. There, we sang This Land is Our Land and We Will Not Be Moved.
The police stole food, water, shelter, and other necessities of life from the 99% at Occupy SF.
They kidnapped one of our friends.
Officer Pascua (#4014) said to multiple Occupiers that "[He] I can't wait to get the chance to bust your face in."
Officer Pascua struck a woman last night. Let's hold him accountable.
We saw multiple officers with tears rolling down their cheeks. We could tell that they wanted to join us.
John Avalos, member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors now running for Mayor, came out to defend our right to assemble and act as our police liason. Please send him our thanks.
We livestreamed the entire thing.
We are still at the camp indefinitely.
Last night the police took criminal actions. They violated the Constitution. They committed theft, battery, kidnapping, etc.
We are calling on all of the 99% to mobilize ASAP. This occupation must continue to grow.
We need new donations of everything all over again.
We are the 99%. We will not be moved. We love you! We will feed you, clothe you, house you, and massage you. You can equally represent yourself in our directly democratic system.
Join us today!
Oh, did you know that Blackwater/Xe trains police?
snip-
On October 14, the Washington Post ran a story, which included photographs from Blackwater's Moyock training center. However, what was most intriguing was a photograph of a police and military patch board at Blackwater's headquarters that indicated the police agencies that have sent their officers to Moyock for training.
Blackwater is secretive about its non-federal, as well as its foreign clients, which the Post pointed out includes Jordan, Azerbaijan, and Burkina Faso, but a WMR inspection of the photograph of the police agencies has yielded the following list of agencies that have used Blackwater for training:
Here's transcription or pic or SF order
This is NOT the kind of behavior we expect. Earlier in the evening the Police asked them to remove tents and tarps. OccupySF complied. Here's a plea from Facebook after receiving an unsigned, written warning:
We just received this notice from the City police. Please come to the camp immediately. We need everyone we can. Please call Mayor Ed Lee, Board of Supervisors, and the District Attorney's office immediately. There is no date on the letter, there is no author. The letter is not official. Call them and leave a message NOW!
Mayor Ed Lee: (415) 554-6141
SF Board of Supervisors: (415) 554-5184
SF District Attorney: (415) 554-5184
JOIN US NOW! WE NEED YOU NOW!
Notice from the City and County of San Francisco (transcribed at camp)
Notice
The City and County of San Francisco and its police department celebrate and protect the right of an individual to engage in free speech and of the right to assemble. However, this encampment is a violation of the law. For those involved in the encampment at the Federal Reserve Bank, you are in violation of one or more of the following local ordinances or state laws:
· Open flames on a city street or sidewalk without a permit from the department of Public Works and the San Francisco Fire department (Section 105.6.32 Fire Code – open flame, LP Gas 3801.2 FC, Gas 105.6 and 105.7 FC)
· Disorderly conduct-lodging in any building, structure, vehicle, or place, whether public or private (647(e) Penal Code)
· Public nuisance 581 Health Code
· Preparing or serving food without a permit
· Permit required for temporary occupancy of the street and/or sidewalk
· Civil sidewalk violations (168 MPC)
Accordingly, you are being ordered to take down this structure. Refusal to comply and/or obstruction of our efforts to remove the structure may result in your arrest.
The City’s homeless outreach team will provide, for those whop wish, support for shelter. The Department of Public Works will store your property if you do not have the means to take it with you. —
Some homeless people asked if they could stay with them. OccupySF said Yes.
But the SFPD arrived in huge numbers.
Brought a few public works trucks and "employees" and took everything they had.
I guess this is how homeless people are treated everyday, according to some sources. Homeless? Sleeping on the streets? Lucky enough to have a tent? A sleeping bag? Well, it's against the law to be homeless I guess, so SFPD just takes all their belongings, leaves them to rot.
THIS IS NOT AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.
The veil is lifted. This is a Police State for any who should dare to exercise their 1st Amendment rights and be on the wrong side of "conservatism", or that is how it appears.
JOURNALISTS: And I would suspect the "Public Works employees" that stole everything may very well be prisoners on work detail. Needs to be investigated.
I was right about the people cleaning up after the oil spill long before the "journalists" tracked this information down. They were prisoners! This is the kind of stuff cities do these days. They use cheap jail labor for dirty work.
SHAME ON SAN FRANCISCO!
Heres a truckload of OccupySF's stuff (photes by Little Daniel, flickr)
