*Zulu King Sadiki "Bro. Shep" Olugbala s/n Shepard P. McDaniel, is a former member of the "original" Black Panther Party New York State Chapter, who has over 42 years of experience in organizing and training others in militant "non-violent" community protest marches, rally's, boycotts, demonstrations and Anti-Police Terror tactics & actions.
Additionally, "Bro. Shep" has personally provided security in both the aforementioned areas and for high profile events such as the NYC visits by then Cuban President Fidel Castro, former Ghanian President Jerry Rollins, the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and other foreign dignitaries during visits to NYC's Black & Brown Communities.
Guidelines For Non-Violent Public Protest Marches & Rally's
Preparation
Dependent upon their collective experience; Your group leadership should have at least (1) logistical planning meeting prior to the actual day of the rally, march or demonstration. Included in the agenda should be the identification of the Security Coordinator, Lead Spokesperson, Police Laizon, and an itemized review of ALL the below guideline areas.
Legal Observers
It is very important to have at least (1 to 2) legal observers "visibly" on hand throughout the protest action. Their presence can not only work as a deter ant to police misconduct but also provide your group with a lawyer who can testify as a witness in court on your groups behalf. Both The National Lawyers Guild & The ACLU can provide your group with lawyers to observe the action.
Peoples Security
First & Foremost It Most Be Understood By ALL That The Security & Protection Of The Group Is Paramount.
1. Whenever Possible, Security Should Do An Advanced Walk Through Of The Protest Area In Order To Gather The Necessary Intelligence.
2. Security Should Meet Separately In Order To Produce A Competent Security Plan For The Day.
3. Security Should Be "Visibly" identifiable by approved clothing, colors, armbands, radios etc.
4. All Security Must follow the established chain of command, protocol, rules of engagement and "Orders Of The Day"
5. All Security MUST Be Courteous, Non-Antagonistic and Professional in any & all actions.
Agent Provocateurs
A) Historically all government agencies and private companies have used agent provocateurs at mass demonstrations in order to agitate disorder and/or violent situations which will justify the mass police attacks & arrests of demonstrators for the explicit purposes of:
1. To Discredit The Legitimate Cause Of The Protestors
2. To Discourage Future Protests & Organizing
3. To Drain Organizational Resources In Bail & Court Fees
4. To Jail And/Or Physically Assault The Activist Leadership
5. To Disperse The Crowd & Put An Immediate End To The Protest
B) Do Not Be Deceived. This protest either has been or will be infiltrated by agent provocateurs and in order to defeat their efforts to disrupt please adhere to the following protocols:
1. Refuse To Be Drawn Into Arguments With Any Passer By Opposition or Bystanders. If You Are Handing Out Leaflets Then Leaflet & Keep It Moving.
2. Do Not Engage In Any Rock, Bottle Or Projectile Throwing & If You Witness Any Such Activity Immediate Leave From That Area.
3. Do Not Cross Any Police Barriers & Absolutely Do Not Engage In Any Direct Conversation With The Police. Only The Identified Group Liazon/Spokesperson Should Speak To The Confirmed Police Supervisor and/or Police Community Officer In Charge.
4. Stay Together With Your Group; Remain Orderly When Marching; And Do Not Break Ranks Or Allow Anyone From Outside The Group To Break Your Ranks.
5. If You Must Defend Yourself, Do Not Strike The First Blow. Call Upon Your Comrades To Surround & Isolate The Offender Until Security Assists In Physically Removing The Aggressor From The Group
6. Follow The Instructions Of Our Peoples Security At All Times & The Written "Orders Of The Day"

2. NO ILLEGAL WEAPONS, DRUGS OR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
3. STAY WITH YOUR GROUP AT ALL TIMES DURING THE PROTEST ACTION AND WHEN MOVING NEVER BREAK RANKS, STAY WITH THE DAY'S CHANTS & FOLLOW THE GROUPS LEAD FLAG(S)
4. IF YOU MUST LEAVE FOR A REST ROOM OR WATER ETC.. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE BY YOURSELF AND LET SOMEONE IN THE GROUP KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING. ALSO STAY IN RADIO OR CELL PHONE COMMUNICATION WITH THE GROUP UNTIL YOU RETURN.
5. IF YOUR GROUP IS TRAVELING BY BUS and/or VEHICLE CARAVAN EVERYONE MUST BE AT THE DESIGNATED PICKUP AREA ON TIME AND UTILIZE THE SAME BUS AND/OR VEHICLE FOR YOUR RETURN TRIP. THE CARAVAN MUST STAY TOGETHER & IN COMMUNICATION UNTIL REACHING THE DESIGNATED SAFE ZONE.
