Submitted by Luke on Thu, 10/06/2022 - 01:29

Whoever commanded the Montgomery County police presence at last week's Kavanaugh protest seems to have been replaced after all the videotaped harassment and threats. This time around, the Oct 5 Kavauagh and Roberts residential protests went smoothly, with no harassment or problems of any kind.

MD: Judge Koch sentences "Colesville 13" Beltway blockaders to 4 days jail

Submitted by Luke on Sat, 10/01/2022 - 14:02

On Sep 30th in a Rockville, MD courtroom, Judge Koch ignored recommendations for prosecutors and sentenced 13 Declare Emergency activists to 4 days in jail for blockading the Capitol Beltway on July 4. That's right-the judge gave them jail time prosecutors were NOT asking for, on his own initiative.

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 09/28/2022 - 23:24

On the 28th of September, protesters returned to the homes of Supreme Court "Justices" Kavanaugh and Roberts. At Kavanaughs, one cop hissed threats for clicking drumsticks, another got on the PA and read out a "warning" implying use of "amplified sound" which drums are not by anyone could lead to arrests of everyone. Protesters kept the action going.

Racist MoCo cop harasses Black woman at Kavanaugh home demo

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 09/01/2022 - 00:42

On the 31st of August, a Montgomery County cop harassed a Black woman-and ONLY at a Black woman-for momentarily standing still in front of Kavanaugh's house during the protest there. He threatened a no-warning arrest if she again stood still. Another (white or white-passing) protester repeated this "offense" and got no reaction from the same cop or any of the others

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 08/24/2022 - 22:17

On the 24th of August, protesters returning to the weekly Kavanaugh and Roberts home demos brought a twist: children's bubble guns. With police having threatened arrest for the drums and bullhorns normally used, protesters brought out something else to show how ridiculous these rules are.
