It’s confused many non-anarchists in the Rochester-area, and it would likely confuse many anarchists not in Rochester Red & Black: A legislative proposal, largely being pushed by New York’s nearly autocratic Governor and likely being used a cynical ploy for higher political office has been endorsed by Rochester Red & Black, the local organization of Anarchist-Communists. I know, it seems almost absurd on its face. So, I’ll explain as one member of Red & Black, why I voted for this endorsement.
Sylvester Pritchett's eye after being beaten, and tased by Rochester, NY and Monroe County, NY probation officers.
A Rochester, NY woman is using Facebook, asking for help in locating video of RPD officers who she says beat, tased, and then arrested her husband.
According to Shaneka Grady-Pritchett, the incident occurred on Thursday June 20 around 8:00 pm on Weaver St., on Rochester's east side.
Pritchett's husband, Sylvester Pritchett was attempting intervene in an altercation involving his daughter, when he says a Monroe County, NY Probation officer charged Pritchett.
On June 28, 2013, twenty-five people, many of them wearing their Enough is Enough t-shirts, gathered at the Liberty Pole in downtown Rochester on the gray and drizzly day. The rally was called for by Enough is Enough and was supporting Benny Warr who had a court hearing before Judge Stephen T. Miller at 2 p.m. Mr. Warr is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Last weekend I visited the Attica Correctional Facility for a special summer picnic, a rare opportunity to visit with incarcerated friends and family in a somewhat relaxed outdoor atmosphere. I arrived at the prison at 8:30 in the morning and waited with other visitors for more than three hours in a small room-- with no books, music, or phone allowed to pass the time--until my number was called, then climbed into a van and passed through the enormous walls of the prison. A few minutes before noon my friend emerged; we enjoyed the sunshine and the food (for which each prisoner had pre-paid), and a scant two and a half hours later we were called back to be processed out. Luckily, I enjoyed some conversation while standing in line with another visitor, however the long wait time compared with the short visit time was still frustrating. Add the two hour drive time and you're looking at a pretty discouraging ratio of effort to reward.
