My Daughter Arrested During Occupy Oakland Crackdown

By Daryl Cagle | November 3rd, 2011 |

As many of you know, my daughter, cartoonist Susie Cagle, has been covering the Occupy Oakland protests. Last week, she was teargassed when police attempted to prevent a peaceful march of Occupy Oakland protesters from walking to the police department.

UPDATE #3: Susie has been released from Santa Rita, but she has been charged with misdemeanor “present at raid.” According to Susie, she had her press pass in full view when she was arrested, and one of the Oakland Police Department officers even recognized her and knew her comics.

UPDATE #2: Susie has been “signed out” of Santa Rita, but it’s still an indefinite amount of time before she is released.

UPDATE #1: Susie is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Alameda County, California, charged with unlawful assembly, even though she was there covering the event and had a press badge. Obviously, they took her phone when she was arrested, but you can follow updates on her Twitter feed, @Susie_C. It’s being updated by her friend Joel Kraut (@myunderpants).

I’ll keep you posted as I know more.

4. I want to know how, if the army of cops in Oakland last night

were there to deal with anarchists and provocateurs as that loser Jordan has said, how did they manage to arrest multiple journalists, medics and legal observers.

What a bunch of crap.

5. What I am wondering is why California, its cities and counties claim to

have no money for the schools when they spend so much on military equipment for the local police?

That almost had to have happened at least in part under Jerry Brown's time in Oakland.

All those helmets. All those smoke bombs. So many officers.

Is that where our tax dollars go?

What a shame. The Occupiers aren't doing nearly the damage to life and property that the police do. Who is in the wrong here?

8. Well, remember that the Bay Area is rife with military contracting firms.

It would be interesting to get into how these forces are funded, wouldn't it?

7. Journalists and medics are always targets.

6. Well if the freedom to peaceable assemble is under attack

What fantasy told you that freedom of some press woud be respected? Free hint, toadies won't face arrest.

9. K&R for a young woman far more relevant than her relavant father.

Damn Cagle, you raised one hell of a kid. I am in awe and crying... really.
