Update: peacemakers vs brick throwers From: Charlie Swope Date: 2008 Feb 07 23:20 UTC Short link

"we agree not to assist law enforcement actions
against activists and others."

What does this mean exactly? One interpretation is
that it includes the same kind of "no snitching"
policy that hampers the police in apprehending
criminals. So if bricks are thrown, the signers have
pledged not to cooperate with the police in
apprehending the culprits. That doesn't sound right to
me. Or, if a signer knows about plans for violence
he/she has promised not to go the police but, instead,
stand back and let it happen. Don't like the sound of
that.

I'm also not crazy about the "no criticism" rule.
What's the purpose of that?
