URGENTE!!! Sobre el café Emma Goldman

Estimadxs compañerxs:

Las siguientes líneas son con la intención de informar los hechos
ocurridos en la facultad de derecho, ya que aunque actualmente no ha
pasado a mayores, puede ser que se atente contra el espacio y personas que
trabajamos en el.

Los hechos son los siguientes:

*Parece ser que en la madrugada del 2 de octubre se realizaron varias
pintas dentro de la facultad, pero además se destruyo un monumento mamón
que se encuentra en la explanada que le llaman "el águila", que
íronicamente tiene bueno tenía el lema de: Facultad de derecho casa de la
libertad.

A partir de esto se desarrollo todo un movimineto mediatico para
criminalizar a los activistas por este acto, pero más en específico a los
anarquistas. En la red surgieron páginas como DEFENDAMOS LA UNAM, que se
han dedicado a hacer un linchamiento público desde las personas que
estamos en los espacios como de estos. Existen carteles pegados por la
facultad pidiendo "castigo ejemplar a los culpables" y "reprobando a los
actos bndalicos".

Todo esto resulta muy extraño y parece ser la pauta para comenzar una
cacería de brujas, por varias razones, por ejemplo las autoridades
universitarias no se han pronunciado al respecto dejando crecer la
espectación, además encajaron la mentada águila en una cajísima para hacer
más grande el espectáculo. A pesar de existir dos cámaras justro en frente
de el águila...(una de alta resolución y otra media), pues no se habla de
lo que paso.

Nosotrxs tenemos varias teorías pero una de ellas es que se pretende
impulsar grupos porriles a partir de este suceso y claro desprestigiar los
espacios para legitimar la represión y el desmantelamientio de estos, como
sucedio en el che después de la muerte del narcomenudista.

Por el momento solo compartimos la información, para que se este atento a
lo que pueda suceder...ya que no nos parecen hechos aislados.

Adjuntamos la foto del "aguila", y algunos comentarios realizados en la
web de tipo fascista en contra de los espacios, solo para que se vea con
más claridad de que se trata el asunto.

Sin más salud y revolución social.

Café Emma Goldman.

LAPD's Rampart station evacuated following threat connected to officer-involved shooting [Updated]

September 28, 2010 | 2:32 pm

The Los Angeles Police Department evacuated its Rampart Area station Tuesday after an envelope containing an unknown powder was found at the station.

The envelope contained a threat directed at one of the officers involved in the fatal shooting of a Guatemalan immigrant earlier this month in the Westlake District, according to sources familiar with the incident who asked not to be identified because the investigation is ongoing. The nature of the threat was not specified.

[Updated at 2:34 p.m.: Officials said they determined the white powder was not hazardous.]

Nearly a dozen people may have been exposed to the powder around 1 p.m. at the station at 1401 S. 6th Street, according to police officials.

Manuel Jamines was shot and killed Sept. 5 at the corner of 6th and Union Avenue after police said he advanced on officers with a knife.

The LAPD said that Jamines was threatening people before the fatal confrontation. Residents and the LAPD agree that Jamines was intoxicated at the time of the shooting and witnesses said he had a knife. Another witness has questioned that account and whether the man represented an imminent threat to the officers.

The shooting led to protests, the largest of which took place days after the incident when about 300 protesters gathered at the LAPD's Rampart Station, some hurling eggs at police cars and others throwing objects at station windows.

Los Angeles city prosecutors have said they expect to charge more than a dozen people in the series of street protests in the Westlake district related to the shooting.

LAPD Cop Who Killed Immigrant is Repeat Shooter, Known as Bully

http://colorlines.com/archives/2010/09/lapd_cop_who_killed_manuel_jamines_being_sued_for_excessive_force.html

Who exactly is Los Angeles Police Department Officer Frank Hernandez? Before he killed 37-year-old Guatemalan immigrant Manuel Jamines last Sunday, Hernandez was just another LAPD officer, a 13-year vet, one of the department’s 10,000 police officers. In just over a week, he’s assumed a very public notoriety, and it turns out he’s got quite a history.

In the Guatemalan community of Westlake where Jamines was killed, Hernandez is well-known as a bully. The AP reports:

For many in the poor immigrant community, the shooting of Jaminez was the last straw. Amid the poverty and chronic joblessness here, some residents say, officers mistreated them and were overly harsh in their enforcement of city ordinances.*

“They are messing with people all the time,” said Juan Lorenzo, a day laborer who knew Jaminez.

Lorenzo claimed that Officer Frank Hernandez, who the mayor hailed as a hero for shooting Jaminez, was disliked by many in the community because he would often ticket people for selling food on the street and would sometimes throw the food in the trash.

Hernandez is also being sued by a 19-year-old man named Joseph Wolf. Wolf claims that Hernandez used excessive deadly force when Hernandez shot him in the thigh on Dec. 12, 2008, and then later lied to justify the shooting.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Wolf was roused from bed by the sound of helicopters flying overhead, and went to his front door to investigate. When Wolf went back inside because it was cold out, Hernandez, who was in the area investigating a separate incident, ran after him into his house and shot him because, the LAPD would later say, Wolf had a weapon. Turns out Wolf did have a BB gun in his house, but it didn’t have his DNA on it. Wolf was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Those charges were dropped in 2009.

The Los Angeles Police Commission said Hernandez was out of line that night, even though the shooting was technically “in policy.” Wolf’s lawsuit is pending in U.S. District Court.

Hernandez’s past raises the uncomfortable question of how many cops with shootings on their record are sent back onto the streets without reprimand, re-training, or any kind of public notice. It’s likely a higher number than most of us will ever know.

Earlier this year, in an ongoing investigation, ColorLines’ Ali Winston found that in Fresno, Calif., plenty of cops were sent back to work after killing civilians:

A California Public Records Act Request uncovered a previously withheld list of 27 Fresno police officers involved in repeat shootings of civilians from 2002 through 2009, 25 of whom, according to an official with the Fresno Police Department, are still on active duty today. Of these 27 officers, four were involved in at least three separate shooting incidents over the same period. One officer, Michael Palomino, was involved in four shooting incidents. In the context of a statewide investigation focusing in on four major police departments, the Fresno Police Department stands out in scale.

Since last Sunday, hundreds have protested and dozens were arrested.

The LAPD maintains that Jamines was holding a bloody knife and was shot when he lifted it up overhead and lunged at police officers. Hernandez shot Jamines twice in the head, and he died on the scene. Jamines’ family said that even though the day laborer and father of three was a heavy drinker, he was never violent.

At a public meeting LAPD Chief Charlie Beck hosted with the Guatemalan Consul General Pablo Garcia last Wednesday, hundreds streamed into a local middle school for a community forum. The crowd heckled and booed Beck and called Jamines’ killing an assassination. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has promised a thorough and impartial investigation, but hailed Hernandez as a “hero.”

*AP offers this note on the spelling of Jimenes’ name: “Neighbors and friends initially said Jaminez’s last name was spelled Jamines but on Thursday the coroner’s office said he went by the names Manuel Ramirez and Manuel Jaminez.”
