[OccupyCU] [Announce] CUCPJ meme blast

[Dottie Vura-Weis]

I am concerned about posting the second and third memes. They are likely to elicit a great outpouring of support for the police and make it so people who aren't already our allies will stop listening to anything we say. 
I believe we need to use these issues (the jail and police militarism) as opportunities to communicate and educate, and especially the third one will make that harder to do.

My brother in law, who is a cop in DC would totally love that last meme about "policism" for all the wrong reasons. I fear he would share it as support for his position in supporting police repression against people of color.

I think a couple of these memes might be too confusing (or even supportive of what we're fighting against) for people outside the political conversations we're having among each other.
