Anaheim protesters march in streets after clashing with police
July 24, 2012 | 7:50 pm

Protesters were marching through the streets of Anaheim on Tuesday evening after clashing with police outside City Hall as officials discussed two deadly police shootings that have rocked the city.

The marchers, including one wielding a stick and another who may have a rock in his hand, were moving south along Anaheim Boulevard toward Disneyland, according to live footage on CBS Channel 2.

Earlier, chaos broke out as bottles were thrown and police chased people on the streets and sidewalks near City Hall. Anaheim Boulevard between Broadway and Lincoln Avenue was closed off, and people shouted obscenities and threw objects such as orange traffic cones at police.

Sirens wailed as officers formed a skirmish line along Anaheim Boulevard. Officers from Tustin, Brea and Orange responded to a request for aid from the Anaheim Police Department. At least one person was arrested, police said.

The violence broke out as city officials met to discuss the slaying of Joel Mathew Acevedo, who was shot after he fired at an officer Sunday night. A day earlier, Manuel Angel Diaz was killed after running from police on Anaheim's east side.

Business is picking up. Watching the stream you can feel the tension.

Honestly, this is all disneys fault...

Awhile back Anaheim was having increasing crime rates so they dumped a ton of money on the cops...

They have been doing the whole gentrification thing there, trying to push out the poor.

Cops became increasingly hostile to minorities there, was talking to my cousin about this today.

He lives a few blocs from where this is going down.

Throwing orange traffic cones at the police. Wonder what's next?

This is getting to close to home. When Cali blows up you all know what happens.

The have a circus train going through the protest area.

From what I'm getting on local news, this all began at a Starbucks that got smashed up pretty good. Maybe this is what happens when to many espresso shots negate the effects of fluoride. IDK.

Anything or did it go away? Close to home for me...

I'll get excited when I see Karma work its magic.

Eye for an eye brother.
Eye for an eye.

There were a lot of arrests.
They were shooting at media along with everyone else.

Shouldn't the FBI be involved since there were charges of cops trying to buy evidence of their wrongdoing? I thought the FBI had some jurisdiction to investigate in cases of charges like those.

Something should be done to get these corruppt cops outta here. It's been like this for way to long. I've been telling people I work with that Anaheim cops abuse their power. I've seen it first hand way to many times and even as a youth would get harassed by them, even though I've never had a criminal record.

I've only just heard about this today, but it seems Anonymous has recently announced #OpAnaheim

Greetings City of Anaheim - Greetings Citizens of the United States of America - Greetings People of the World: We are Anonymous --

In Anaheim, California police shot protesters and bystanders including kids who did nothing wrong.

Send copies of this press release to everyone in your address book. And join us online at irc.anonops.com #OpAnaheim and help us defeat this evil and illegitimate police force.

Operation Anaheim, engaged.

EXPECT US

If you know me on ATS, you'll know that I've been suggesting that it'll take an act of injustice to create the prefect storm. In most instances, an act of injustice is seen, a peaceful protest arises and the response to that protest by law enforcement is the deciding factor.

1. If the police act to placate the population then things return to normal. This happened in the case of Treyvon. Concessions were made, the man was arrested, calm returned.

2. If the police refuse to act to placate the public, the protest continues and it is either quashed through discussion or the people fade back to their daily lives.

3. If the police respond to that protest in a violent and oppressive fashion, further feelings of injustice develop and the chances of rioting and violence expanding are greatly increased. As happened in the LA riots, and the London riots.

The last scenario is now playing out in Anaheim.

Not only has the police department refused to answer the people or placate their own public in any way, they have now increased the sense of injustice by opening fire on protesters, including children, unleashing attack dogs, arresting and detaining people without cause...

We have seen several instances recently where the catalyst was moments away and the tinderbox was ready to ignite. But none of those instances have reached the final third level of increasing sense of injustice.

I think it's time to bring this thread back and follow this, because I very much doubt the police have managed to control this after opening fire. There is a real chance that this could lead to massive civil unrest and we all need to be paying attention to it.

Of course, the alternative is that all the people of Anaheim give up and go home - but given that Anon is now charging lazerz I think this is unlikely.

Anon has just released the DoX of Police Chief John Welter

DoX

It just keeps getting better...

The offices of ANSWER (a community group enabling protest against austerity cuts, racial profiling, police violence and corruption) were coincidentally robbed on Monday 23rd after protests against police brutality where their presence was not subtle.

But get this, it wasn't just the computer equipment that was stolen. Whoever it was (hmm I wonder...) also stole sound equipment and bullhorns, and went through filing cabinets of documents.

We've had Anon announce an operation and they have already started DoX'ing the police. There are now solidarity protests being planned across the US against police brutality.

On Saturday July 28 protesters are planning a mass rally at the Downey police headquarters.

Once again, I really think it's important to stay with this story. From what I've seen these people have every right to be enraged. The police shot a kid in the back of the head while he was on the floor with his hands cuffed behind his back... He was executed.

I don't give a damn what evidence they had. They are not judges, juries and executioners. They do not decide who is innocent or guilty or what the punishment should be.

This is insane, and these "officers" should be in cells awaiting trial for murder.

Here is a video from the protest last night.. check out the chick who gets rubber bullets to the back of both her legs!! This is is getting crazy down there in Anaheim city!

In response to both the killing an unarmed young man this past weekend and subsequent police brutality against protesters, hundreds of demonstrators converged in from of Anaheim City Hall yesterday, and cops once again responded violently, blanketing residents and reporters with a barrage of pepper balls and bean bag rounds as unrest in the city continues to grow.

" the land of the free, and the home of the brave"

I think we need to paying attention to Anaheim this weekend as more protests are planned. The police are already preparing for it, and I have no doubt they will be using their agents in the crowd to stir up trouble.

I'll be checking back in later, I'm assuming there will probably be live feeds from news choppers and from independents on the ground too.

It's worth keeping up to date on this if you have any opinions about civil unrest - the police have shown they are not going to give even a little. They have not apologized for opening fire on women and children, they have refused to comment against the accusation that their officers tried to buy evidence of their actions, and they are preparing for violence again right now.
