Police Raid of I AM collective 03.13.10: Lead up to ...

Today in Brooklyn NY, the NYPD entered without a warrant 13 Thames Art Space, a Bushwick based art and performance space where members of the Independent Anarchist Media (I AM) Collective have been organizing the Fourth Annual NYC Anarchist Film Festival in honor of Brad Will.
Two plainclothes detectives entered first, followed quickly by a Lieutenant and vans full of blue shirt officers. After corralling everyone present in the back room, they searched the space and detained two members of the collective.
The I AM collective was preparing for the NYC Anarchist Film Festival, a showcase of resistance movements and insurrectionary events from around the world presented from an anarchist and anti-authoritarian perspective.
Our response to the raid: regardless of these attacks, the film festival will happen as planned on Friday April 16, 2010 at Judson Memorial Church. The voice of decentralized creative communities will not be silenced by police repression. They cannot raid us, because we are everywhere.police

I don't really hate cops so much. I think human behavior necessitates police on some level. They keep the barbarians at bay, those who thousands of years ago would have raped and pillaged. Though in the vacuum, a new class of sociopath that wears a three piece suit has risen to the top. He won't outright kill you, but he'll take everything you've got through a legal framework that he's designed to maintain the appearance and illusion of justice and liberty.
