Aggression at Occupy LA Raid...Read the truth

Does this look peaceful to you?

On the night of Tuesday, November 29^th I was arrested by the LAPD while peacefully asserting my 1^st Amendment right to free speech.  While on the front lines of the Occupy LA eviction I was peacefully chanting and asserting my right to be in witness of the actions that were taking place. 

My partner, Chris, was filming the raid with his iphone when, from inside the officer barricade, another police office lunged for his phone.  Chris threw his iphone and was then violently grabbed and dragged into the middle of their circle.  I engaged in defense of him by trying to pull him back to our side of the protest.  Three to four police officers threw him to the ground and pinned him down while a group of protestors chanted “police brutality”. 

Chris instructed me to find his phone which I did and proceeded to put it in my pocket. At the time, I did not realize the iphone was still filming.   He was carried out by four police officers and I followed and watched closely from outside their barricade.  When I reached the outside of the City Hall Park, on the corner of 1^st Street and Main Street I stopped to observe the police officers in discussion with Chris.  They were arresting him and he was stating that he was unlawfully being arrested for filming the events of the raid. 

I was standing there, crying just watching what was happening when a police officer came up to me and aggressively informed me that I needed to keep walking.  I informed him that I was going to stay there until I knew that Chris was safe.  Four cops, one guy…no way I was leaving without bearing witness to his treatment.  The police officer then grabbed me violently and pushed me towards the other side of the street.  With the instinctual reaction of an animal I turned around and yelled at him telling him to take his hands off of me and to not touch me.  He then preceded to grab my arm, twist it behind me and inform me that he was arresting me.  I was crying, hysterically.  Bearing witness to such mistreatment of another human being is shocking but I was NOT violent.

I pleaded for my release, told him I would leave. Another police office came up to us and pleaded with my captor to let me go.  He said that I had been on my way out and there was no reason to arrest me.  The police officer informed him that it was too late.  I was going in.  I suspect his ego was hurt by being yelled at by a tiny woman who he thought would just take his aggressive treatment and retreat with fear. 

I was carted off to the LA Detention Center around 2AM.  Booked, fingerprinted and in a holding cell by 6AM with about 100 other women who were unlawfully arrested.  I proceeded to call my Super Rockstar Mom.  She paid my bond by 10AM.  The bondsmen were in the lobby trying to post my bond only to be refused entry by the police officers.  I was informed by my Mom and by the bondsmen that they were in the lobby only to be told by police officers inside the jail that no one was out there for any of us.  About 10 other women had also posted bail. 

At 12 Noon we were informed that we were being transferred to the Van Nuys Jail.  Van Nuys!  But I’ve been trying to post bail for two hours! 

“There’s too many of you.  This is a men’s facility and we can’t process you here, if you posted bail we won’t transfer you, you might be going to the center on 77^th street in East LA, no, you’re going to Van Nuys, we’re not moving you, you might get released soon, we’re holding you until we can process all of you, there are more of you coming”

These are some of the things the officers were telling us.  The right hand having no idea what the left hand was doing.  I read an article in the LA Times on Monday where Police Chief Baca assured everyone that LAPD was quite capable of handling the eviction and arrest of so many protestors.  From experience, I think not.  That or they were playing mind games.  You decide.

We got to the Van Nuys facility where we were informed that we needed to be processed.  Wait, again?  We just did that at the Detention Center?  Yes.  Processed because now we were in Van Nuys and we could not be released until they made sure we did not have a criminal record.  For those of us who had never been arrested this process would take longer than usual.  Really?  Oh, so if I had priors this would go faster.  Hmm…ok…

To write that the raid went well and there was no aggression on behalf of LADP is a boldface lie.  Whether the aggression was subtle or coercive, it was there in full force.  If you really want the truth, you can’t watch it on TV.  Even the media was silenced that night.  Turn to social networks and live streamers to see what really happened.  Their claims can easily proven incorrect. 

Allow me to dispel one last misconception about this movement.  I am 36 years old, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Emory University, I am trained as a Body/Mind Counselor and an Energy Healing Therapist.  I work and pay my rent every month, my parents are well off, I don’t drink and I don’t smoke…anything.  The Occupy encampment was NOT only populated by homeless derelicts.  Yes, some flocked there for shelter and this is simply a reflection of our current societal situation.  Sad, but true. 

I have met some of the smartest, most loving people through this movement.  We are determined and passionate and mark my words; this is not the last of Occupy LA.

The people united can never be divided!

The New Wave of Leadership

I had the pleasure of being the MC at the Women In Leadership Panel at the Leaders Causing Leaders Conference this past week-end.  I am so honored to have met the women who were a part of that panel.  They are leaders, mothers, business owners and visionaries and it was amazing to hear them speak. 

As we gathered before the panel and shared our ideas, we discussed the embodiment “masculine” qualities while in the workplace and “feminine” qualities while at home. As Dream Rockwell so beautifully put it during the panel, we have entered the Aquarian Age and there is a shift occurring.  We have been re-defining what it means for a woman to be in the workplace and we are still learning. 

I believe the shift is taking the form of learning how to embody our power while staying in our heart at the same time.  We are human beings with dualities within us at all times.  We are both male and female, strong and weak, happy and sad, light and shadow.   I propose that we choose to embody all of these energies simultaneously rather than separately.  To me, the old model is about either being in your power OR being in your heart (power being a traditionally male quality and heart being a traditionally female quality).  It seems to me that we have forced ourselves to exert our power in a way that has left the heart at home. 

I was challenged in this idea; that when we are around men we must be a certain way to gain their respect.  I believe we gain their respect by bringing our wholeness to the conversation.  Our mind, heart, body AND soul.  Not one or the other.   I spent most of the conference collaborating with very powerful men and women.  I made a conscious choice to stay in my power and also bring my heart to the collaboration.  One way I expressed this was by suggesting we open our meetings with an invitation to Spirit to join us and help us collaborate for the highest good of all involved.  My suggestion was honored and I believe Spirit did step in and collaborate with us creating a more heart centered connection between all of us.

As one of my male colleagues so beautifully put it: “Seeing your being, witnessing your ability to be present in the most ideal way… inspires me deeply Patty and is already a great support for the development of my own leadership. You in your naturalness are a teacher for me – thank you.  Keep on Patty – how you are prescence-ing is deeply important”.  Thank you for the kind words David.  I receive them with gratitude and humility in my heart.

Goddesses, I encourage you to bring your heart into everything you do.  It is so needed during these times of change.  In the Aquarian Age we have a duty as women to integrate our power and our hearts and to model it for others to witness.  That is our mission.  Be direct with people, state your point of view, express your opinion and stand up for yourself while being loving, compassionate, supportive and gentle at the same time.   

This is not to say that there aren’t men out there who have opened their hearts or that there aren’t women who have closed their hearts.  We all have our own Spiritual tasks in this lifetime.  Whichever Spiritual task belongs to you, I still encourage you to develop and integrate both energies. 

As Tami Walsh so beautifully put it, just BE.  Be who you are; whatever that may look like.  I guarantee that those who vibrate at your same level will gravitate towards you and those who don’t…won’t.  Trust your intuition and trust Spirit.
