| Berkeley Police Dept: Staging a protest? Want symbolic arrests to lend credibility/gravitas? |
| 2017-04-19 |
| HT: InstaPundit Actual Event Planning Checklist from Berkeley Police Department includes these questions: o Do you want symbolic arrests? o If so, where and when? Nothing like using the taxpayer-funded police department to co-star in your community theater/fake news! When you are symbolically arrested, is that a tipping situation? |

| #6 The police offering this suggests they need to be defunded by the Feds. |

| #4 It's the double standard that irritates me. On its face this is laudable in the age of made-for-TV Non-violent Protest Theater -- it streamlines the procedure. *But* in liberal bastions like Berkeley any group to the right of the Khmer Rouge will have their protest preemptively banned for 'the public good' if they used this hot-line. |

| #3 Will the symbolic arrest appear on any permanent records? Seems an ideal way to prove your anarchist-crazy in order to pick up radical chicks. |

| #2 I would prefer to administer a symbolic foot in their ass. It would only go halfway and wouldn't cause their teeth to crack with a non-symbolic foot in ass. |
