    After the arrest, Kessler said, a member of the hip-hop group reportedly told the crowd, “They’re taking one of our people. Go take care of it.”

    “It sounds like the band may have been encouraging them a little,” she said.

    But some of the people at the concert said the band member only told the crowd to get the officer’s badge number and look after the man.

    come the fuck on people...you know there is NO FUCKING WAY dead prez told you to get the badge number and look after him.....seriously...i don't believe they even said "go take care of it", probably said something closer to "kill those fucking pigs"

    The po-po at Evergreen are all the Oly/Thurston County Deputy rejects. I've got a couple stories about the stupid cops at that school.

    Well... first off I'm not shocked that the kids at Evergreen did that. Going to school there the campus is full of rich kids, "trustifarians," that want to take on "the man." On days that I had to go to work after school I'd just come to class in my dress shirt and tie and would get shit on. Kids treated me like I was some repub douche bag that was out to oppress them. (idiots)

    Anyway, I had several instances with the cops there. When I had my old show on KAOS my man got his car broken into and the idiot who broke into the car left bloody fingerprints all over the car. So, I asked the cop if she wanted to take the fingerprints that were obviously all over the car and she goes, "uhhhhh... well I don't know how to do that... ummmm just sign the paper work its 2 in the morning." WTF?!

    Another time it was April 20th... and this is actually kind of a funny story. I get out of class a little after 4 and I'm walking past the field next to housing and I hear this band playing, hippies dancing... it's a huge party. I'm not even thinking I'm just thinking, "Damn it's not even Friday and there's a huge party going on." I then make a comment about that to the girl I was walking with and she looks at me like I'm retarded. "David... are you serious? It's April 20th... you know 4-20." Then it hit me, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

    Anyway, if you look at the blotter on the campus its nothing but traffic violations and MIP's and the cops are always trying to justify why they need guns on campus. They're also always wishing there was actual action. (kind of like Hot Fuzz) So, what do they do when 500+ people are openly smoking pot in their face? (like shotgunning the cops with bong tokes) Not a got-damn thing. I mean I do understand less than 20 cops couldn't do shit, but they could have done something, called in somebody else, but they just sat on their asses.

    They're just turkey-bacon as my friends would say. (fake cops)

    NOPE. I am saying that the folks in Olympia have been doing crazy stuff that i wouldn't do like blockading war shipments to protest the war. i am scared of cops, i am scared of jail...i just wouldn't do that kind of stuff. but i love seeing people take their bodies and give it up to the greater good. i think that is beautiful.

    also, we have to be hella careful reading the media word for word. who knows what really went down, why did people get out of hand...the media is making it seem like bad Dead Prez incited the kids to do crazy stuff...they were all...ergo...vis-à-vis...concordantly!!! and then there's me

    Don't believe the media hype. I was there. I wrote this the day after. Here's what I saw:

    On February 14th, 2008, Dead Prez with Umi, Sis Hailstorm, Alpha-P, DJ B-Girl, Project Mayhem, and two other DJs from Olympia (sorry, I can't remember their names) performed at Evergreen State College in Olympia.

    During Dead Prez's set, Olympia Police came in to the venue and arrested a black male, who was being accused by a white male of punching him and his girlfriend during a fight outside the venue approx. 30 minutes earlier. I didn't see the fight, I just heard about it. I was told by another student that the white male started it.

    Except for this incident, the actual show was completely peaceful!
    Everybody who took the stage was dope. Slap yourself right now if you missed it. ;)

    The local media, specifically [FOX affiliate] KCPQ-13, and [Cox Television affiliate ] KIRO-7 has been claiming on television that Dead Prez told the crowd, in essense, to attack the police. THIS IS A LIE and A MAJOR DISTORTION! If you follow the link, you'll see that KIRO-TV in particular couldn't even get the group's name correct, let alone give complete and accurate details of what really happened.

    M1 of Dead Prez specifically told the crowd, who were already shouting "cops are in the building" and "fuck the police" on their own, to "make sure the brotha was safe" and to "handle the situation responsibly". They then went back to doing their set.

    Once the police got the black male outside and into the car, the mostly white crowd of Evergreen students started chanting, "let him go!" and surrounded the car. They also shouted slogans denouncing capitalism and white supremacy.

    As more police arrived, more students started surrounding the car. I estimate the number at about 400, plus many onlookers; including alot of people with cameras. The police pepper sprayed a few people, myself included, and then tried to penetrate the ring of people around the police car. When they did that, people in the crowd started throwing rocks, garbage cans, etc. Then, a small group in masks ( I was told they were anarchists, but who knows) bum rushed the car and opened the back door where the black male was seated in handcuffs.

    The police stopped the rush, and then announced they were leaving. Then more students surrounded the car, shouting "when he is free, you can leave!".

    According to a witness near me ( I couldn't see so well, due to pepper spray in my eyes and more people joining the crowd near the car) the police opened the door, un-cuffed the black male, and he walked away!

    The police then started a hasty retreat. One officer and his car got separated from the group and he was pelted with objects until he ran over with his fellow officers. The crowd scooted the car away from the wall and then turned it over. The gas tank was punctured and the computer was taken out of it. Calls went out to open the trunk and take their weapons, but no one did.

    After the police left, some in the crowd started taking the car apart, while others tried to set it on fire. Olympia police returned and everybody started leaving and the police deployed more pepper spray.

    End note:
    Before people outside of Seattle and the hip-hop scene start thinking this was just a bunch of 'drunk college kids' or 'outside agitators', keep in mind that at the tail end of last year, Evergreen students laid their bodies on the line in an attempt to stop shipments of war materials (like Armored Personel Carriers and Tanks) coming back from Iraq at the Port of Olympia, in an effort to do something direct and tangible to stop the war (as they saw it).

    At that time, police were accused of using excessive force, and the fall out from all of that hasn't really resolved itself yet; so many people are still very angry; I was told this by more than a few different people present last night. Someone else suggested that the students were attempting to assert community control over the police using direct action.

    Hopefully, a positive resolution can come from all of this that everybody can be at peace with.

    BTW, KING-TV said the crowd to tried take the cops' guns out of the holsters. This is a total lie. That didn't happen.
