COPWATCH!
The video by The New York Video League via Wagingnonviolence shows the tactic of copwatch. Copwatch is a method of reacting to brutal police pressure in a peaceful and nonviolent way. The film and the article reflect the history of copwatch, that leads back to the black panthers and reveals the current situation of civil rights in New York City. Sean Pagan, a recent victim is talking about his personal story and about how filming such actions may help to change. http://wagingnonviolence.org/2012/10/police-on-playback-copwatch-in-new-york-city/
