CopWatch is coming to the Vegas Valley…
- Twitter: @LVCopWatch
- Facebook: Las Vegas CopWatch group
- MySpace: Vegas CopWatch
We have open meetings for organizing, planning, and self-education every Saturday, 3:00pm-4:00pm at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Running Rebel Plaza. 4550 S. Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas.
We are in the process of organizing a CopWatch network in the Vegas Valley. CopWatch is a grassroots volunteer organization that works to end police brutality in the Las Vegas, Nevada metro area, and to demonstrate, organize, and encourage community efforts to observe police officers and hold them accountable for their treatment of our friends and neighbors. We believe that having a badge does not give cops special rights; we oppose the paramilitarization of policing and the criminalization of poor people, immigrants, and people of color; and we believe that one of the best ways to prevent police abuse is by directly observing cops in action and documenting their interactions with ordinary citizens.
Watch this space. More to come, soon.
