D,
Thanks. We are establishing a fundraising committee to try and spring Joaquin.
The first meeting will be tomorrow night at the YJC at 6:30. All are welcome

At around 11pm we were driving down Lexington AVE, where we passed by
the two pigs, who was looking at us as we drove by them. Before we got to the
end of the block (Lexington and Cahuenga) they hit the lights on us. Joaquin
said "they're pulling us over". We turning down my block (La Mirada AVE). I
told Joaquin not to stop until we got in front of my house, because if they
were going to kill us or beat our asses it was going to happen on my block and
in front of my house where people could see.
As he slows down in front of my house the pigs come to each side of the
car and one ask "What took you so long to pull over?" and I said "Because I
told him not to stop until we got in front of my house, where we know we're
safe." and the Pig said "You are safe." I told them "that we were in front of
my house" and what my address was. At this point they ask Joaquin for his
drivers license. He didn't have it (because just 3 or so weeks ago he was
robbed and they took his wallet, cell phone, and they tried to take his keys
and car). They told him to "Exit the car", where they put cuffs on him right
away and asked me if I was on parole or probation and I told them "No".
I also told them that Joaquin needed to get my wheelchair out of his
trunk so I can get out of his car. The pig came to the drivers side of the car
and popped the trunk, went to the back and put the wheelchair together. At
that point the pig saw a Machete in the trunk and asked Joaquin "what was he
doing with a machete?" Joaquin said that "he does gardening work from time to
time and it shouldn't be "illegal" to have a machete in his trunk."
As I exit the car. they tell me I can go home. So I cross the street
and observe them from in front of my home. From a far I here the pig ask J
"what's in this case?" He lifts the case out of the trunk and goes to the back
of the squad car. I hear "CLICK, CLICK,CLICK". I go into my house to make
some calls and then come straight back out. I see one of the pigs searching
the car and ask "are you going to tow his car" the pigs said "that he has a
suspended license" and yes he was.
He then ask me "did I know that he had an illegal gun in the trunk?" I
told the pig that "that's not my business and how was the gun illegal when I
went with him to Turners to buy the gun?" he then said that "It was loaded".
A couple of members of CW-LA guerrillas showed up with cameras and they
took Joaquin off to the Hollywood div.
