the oakland strategy

what's the next boot to drop in oakland?  king's point about fighting the police and the 1% on their terms is a good one.  escalating violence will only be a short-term solution, even if it causes support for the police state to crumble in some areas.  it would only be a temporary effect.  the effective counter-insurgency is a coherent strategy of targeted physical resistance combined with a wide-ranging plan to undercut the legitimacy of the violent oppressors.  without the overarching movement, the violence will not lead to victory.
