"Trial starts for woman charged after '06 talk:
Wilkerson charged with obstructing police at lecture"

A trial is set to begin today for an Ann Arbor doctor charged with impeding
police and emergency medical technicians after an incident last year in which
protesters were arrested after disrupting a lecture in the Michigan League.
Jury selection for the case took place yesterday in 15th District Court.
Prosecutors will try to show that Catherine Wilkerson interfered with the
arrest of Blaine Coleman, a protester at the November 2006 event.
Wilkerson's attorneys, Hugh Davis and Wilson Tanner, will assert that
Wilkerson was responding to police brutality and harmful treatment of Coleman by an
emergency medical technician, Davis said.
The lecture on U.S. foreign policy in Iran, given by Georgetown University
Prof. Raymond Tanter, was met with protest from several Ann Arbor residents,
who heckled and interrupted Tanter throughout his speech.
Protesters chanted "Hands off Iran" and "Tanter is a pig". Tanter said he
abandoned his planned remarks in response to the interruptions and instead
answered questions from audience members and protesters.
The protesters were accusing Tanter of being a supporter of unjustified
military action in Iran and the Middle East.
Wilkerson is charged with two misdemeanors charges for attempting to
assault, obstruct or resist a police officer and an emergency medical technician.
According to the Diane Brown, Department of Public Safety spokeswoman,
several warnings were issued to the protesters that their interruptions violated
the University's policies for protest during a speech.
"No matter how controversial a speaker is, that speaker needs to be able to
speak. That's the whole point of freedom of speech," Brown said. "You can't
just say 'I don't like what they've got to say.' They must be able to hold
their event."
The University's Standard Practice Guide for Freedom of Speech and Artistic
Expression attempts to balance the rights of speakers and protesters by
allowing heckling that does not impede the message of speakers.
After American Movement for Israel Chair Josh Berman and other organizers
issued three warnings to protesters, DPS officers attempted to remove one of
the female protesters. Coleman attempted to prevent the officers from removing
her. Both responded to DPS attempts to remove them by going limp.
Brown told The Michigan Daily after the incident that this is a tactic used
frequently by protesters.
The sequence of events following Coleman's removal from the room will be
contested at the trial.
During pretrial activities yesterday, Davis said, "There were numerous
witnesses outside. Each saw something; almost none saw everything."
In an article Wilkerson submitted to CounterPunch - a political newsletter -
she claimed that the DPS officials removed the two from the room by force.
Wilkerson said she then left the room to investigate the "commotion" she heard
in the hallway.
She said she believed the officer was pinning Coleman to the ground in such
a way that would prevent his lungs from inflating. After telling the officer
she was a doctor, she instructed him to turn Coleman onto his back. The
officer followed her direction.
In the article, Wilkerson said that after Coleman was turned over, she
noticed that he was unconscious.
Though Brown would not specifically name Coleman, she disputed the claim
that the man lying on the ground was badly hurt.
"One of the people who claimed he was hurt during this whole thing was
supposedly laying on the ground receiving medical attention," she said. "But
periodically his eye would open up."
After paramedics arrived, police removed Coleman's handcuffs and attempted
to revive him. One tactic they tried was the use of ammonia inhalants.
In the article, Wilkerson said that she then told the paramedic: "What
you're doing is punitive and has no efficacy."
Wilkerson said she complied with an Ann Arbor police officer's order to step
away from Coleman. Wilkerson claimed that as she left, the Ann Arbor officer
attacked her from behind and used excessive force to restrain her.
Coleman was taken to the University hospital to treat a cut on his forehead.
He and two other protesters were charged with resisting a police officer.
All three pled guilty and were sentenced to a fine and probation.
At the end of January, Wilkerson and four other protesters filed a complaint
of police brutality with the Ann Arbor Police Department. The Ann Arbor
police investigated the incident, but determined that officers didn't respond in
an inappropriate manner, the Ann Arbor News reported.
The Washtenaw County prosecutor trying the case, Margaret Connors, declined
to comment.

Why was A.M.I. allowed to command U-M Police?

Why was the American Movement for Israel allowed to "warn", and then hurl
the police against, their own audience? When they determined that some audience
members were opposed to War on Iran, and opposed to War on Palestine, was
A.M.I. justified in getting them forcibly pounded into the floor? That is no
way to run this campus.

"Drop the charges against Catherine Wilkerson:
a Michigan doctor facing criminal charges

As mass sentiment against the U.S. occupation of Iraq continues to grow
across the world, many activists on college campuses are experiencing increased
police repression and attacks on their First Amendment rights. One of these
instances occurred on Nov. 30, 2006, in Ann Arbor, Michigan—home of the
University of Michigan.
As a result of that protest, Dr. Catherine Wilkerson, a respected community
physician who provides medical care to working-class people at a local
clinic, was charged with two crimes stemming from an encounter with local and
campus police. On Nov. 26, 2007, her trial is set to begin in Ann Arbor.
The ANSWER Coalition is supporting the efforts of the Committee to Defend
Catherine Wilkerson to demand that all charges against her be dropped. _Click

(http://answer.pephost.org/site/Survey?SURVEY_ID=4220&ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS)
Background
During a protest against the war on Iraq and threats of war on Iran,
University of Michigan police brutalized and arrested three activists. Police
tactics included the use of pressure point control tactics. PPCT is a pain
compliance tactic that essentially uses painful pressure and manipulation of the body
in order to force the victim to comply.
After brutalizing one protester and threatening him with pepper spray
directly in the face, the police then pinned him to the ground in a manner that can
result in suffocation. As the man groaned in agony, the officer used his
knee and his substantial physical bulk to crush the protester's chest, face down
against the floor. Between desperate gasps, the man told officers that he
could not breathe, and then fell unconscious.
Dr. Wilkerson identified herself as a physician and demanded access to the
man in order to examine him and determine if his life was in danger. After
much resistance from the police, Dr. Wilkerson was allowed to examine the man
and determined that he was still alive. As this was occurring, an ambulance
with paramedics, the fire department and the Ann Arbor police arrived on the
scene.
Dr. Wilkerson was forcibly kept aside. One of the medics then held a
succession of three ammonia inhalants directly under the patient's nose, culminating
with cupping his hands over the man's nose while he forced him to inhale the
third capsule of the noxious gas. This caused the man to retch and nearly
vomit as the medic taunted him, "You don't like that, do you?"
Dr. Wilkerson was outraged by the punitive and dangerous actions of the
police and medics. She told the medics, "What you are doing has no efficacy and
is punitive, and you know it."
For speaking out, Dr. Wilkerson too was brutalized by the police.
Police grabbed her from behind, wrenched her arms behind her, then slammed
her against a wall and held her there as she begged him to release his painful
grip. The officer then detained her against her will for a protracted period
of time, forcing her to stand in a hallway despite her continued extreme
shoulder pain.
Dr. Wilkerson was not arrested at this time, however, as she did not break
any laws and was simply attempting to fulfill her ethical obligations as a
physician.
Dr. Wilkerson later registered a complaint of police brutality at City Hall.
One week after filing her complaint, she was shocked to find a letter in the
mail from the county prosecutor informing her that she was being charged
with attempted assaulting/resistinDr. Wilkerson later registered a complaint of
police brutality aDr. Wilkerson later register
The charges are a blatant example of police retaliation against a respected
doctor and community activist for complaining about police misconduct.
Dr. Wilkerson faces jail time and hefty fines if she is convicted. She has
refused to take the prosecutor's plea deal because she has done nothing wrong.
In fact, her intervention in the police riot prevented possible grave
injuries for those attacked by the cops.
Statement from Dr. Wilkerson
>From "Scenes from a cop riot" by Dr. Catherine Wilkerson:
When I became a doctor I knew I would encounter a lot of human suffering,
but I never envisioned a time when my efforts to alleviate it would get me
brutalized by the police, then charged with a crime. I never envisioned a time
when I would witness another health "professional" brazenly violate the most
fundamental principle of medical ethics: first do no harm. But thirty years
after graduation, at a political event on the campus of the University of
Michigan, those things happened.

Author.Speaks.At.u-3116910.shtml)
Before a capacity crowd at Rackham Amphitheatre last night, Joel Kovel,
author of the controversial book published by the University Press "Overcoming
Zionism," emphasized the importance of protecting critical voices in discussion
involving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"There is an absolute need for critical voices and not allowing us to
succumb to pressures that are trying to stifle open discussion," said Kovel, whose
lecture was sponsored by Students Allied for Freedom and Equality, a
pro-Palestinian group.
Kovel discussed what he believes is the only solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is also the focus of "Overcoming Zionism", the creation
of a single, secular, democratic state.
Although Kovel, who is a professor of social studies at Bard College, said
he'd faced significant resistance and intimidation from pro-Israel
organizations like Stand With Us regarding his book's message, he told those in
attendance that he felt the momentum shifting away from the "oppressive" Zionist
groups.
"I think that (Zionist groups) have overreached themselves and got caught up
in promoting a hideous war in Iraq and they're paying for it," Kovel said.
"The debacle of Iraq may yet prove to be the opening point for a profound
reassessment of the Zionist lobby."
The University of Michigan Press currently distributes Kovel's book as part
of its distribution contract with the London-based left-wing publisher Pluto
Press.
Although the University halted distribution of the book in August, citing
"serious questions" raised by "members of the University community," it resumed
distribution of the book a month later.
The University Press is currently facing pressure from several pro-Israel
groups - including Stand With Us and the Anti-Defamation League - and several
members of the University Board of Regents to terminate its distribution
contract with Pluto.
Andrew Dalack, co-chair of SAFE, said his organization brought Kovel to
speak at the University in order to counter misinformation circulating on campus
regarding Kovel's beliefs and the message in "Overcoming Zionism."
"As an organization dedicated to bringing intelligent information on all
sides of this conflict to the campus community, we felt his voice was wanted and
desired here on campus," Dalack said.
Jonathan Calt Harris, director of the Michigan chapter of Stand With Us, a
pro-Israel organization, described Kovel's comments as typical of the
anti-Zionist perspective.
Although Kovel received several standing ovations during his lecture, Harris
attributed the author's support to an overly sympathetic and anti-Zionist
audience.
"I think he got what we all expected, even though there was no real
substance in his speech," Harris said. "It was pretty much a rambling narrative -
like his book."
Nick Israel, the Midwest campus coordinator for the Zionist Organization of
America, said in an e-mail interview that no matter how much support Kovel
received at the lecture, the distribution of his book by the University Press
directly contradicts the University's commitment to diversity.
"We cannot allow our campus to become a safe haven for what UM Press
Director Phil Pachoda characterized as 'hate-speech' when describing Kovel's book,"
said Israel, who graduated from the University earlier this year.
Naomi Goldberg, a Public Policy School graduate student, said Kovel's
lecture was "amazing" and "brave," but she said was disappointed by the actions of
some student groups in the audience.
In particular, Goldberg said those University students in attendance wearing
"Michigan Zionist" shirts in the University's colors blatantly misrepresents
Jewish students at the University who might not be Zionist.
"By wearing these shirts, they're saying you're either on this side with us
or you're not," Goldberg said. "They make it appear as if there's no room for
discussion."

A very good piece. I was intrigued to read that regents are involved in
attempting to suppress the university's distribution of Dr Kovel's book. Could
you kindly identify them?

The article was a bit too sympathetic of anti-semite AND anti-zionist Kovel.
Kovel calls for Israel to be gone, which is a point that the author forgot
to mention.
Talk about supressing free speech. Naomi Goldberg doesn't like the t-shirts
people were wearing? Too bad.

Dr. Kovel spoke, also, of the horrifying atrocities committed against the
occupied population of Palestine. Such as Israel soldiers, and their
commanders, maiming small children, to habituate the troops to an unspeakably brutal
occupation.

"Nuking Iran wouldn't be a bad idea..."_

"Welcome to the Jackboot State, Ann Arbor Division:
"The Ordeal of Catherine Wilkerson, M.D."
By ALEXANDER COCKBURN
November 24 / 25, 2007
On the Web at:
_http://www.counterphttp://wwhttp://www.counthttp:_
(http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn11242007.html)
(http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn11242007.html)
Welcome to the jackboot state, not to mention the jackboot campus, anno
domini 2007. A doctor gives verbal advice to protect the life of an unconscious
man and she duly gets hit with attempted felonies by vindictive campus cops,
with the connivance of the University of Michigan. Jury selection for her
trial starts on Monday in a county courthouse in Ann Arbor.
This case began with an on-campus talk about Iran last November 30 by
Raymond Tanter, a former Reagan administration foreign policy advisor and nutball
cofounder of the Committee on the Present Danger. More recently he's
co-founder of the Iran Policy Committee. Tanter has said publicly on more than one
occasion that nuking Iran wouldn't be a bad idea.
The audience at November 30 event was lively and contentious. On the campus
that Columbia's Lee Bollinger once ran there's an elaborate policy about free
speech, but those precepts were promptly flouted. As is now the fashion at
many universities, the U of M campus guards are gun-toting goons who decided
to wade in aggressively at the behest of the event's organizers.
Here's how Wilkerson described what happened next, _on this site on March
13_ (http://www.counterpunch.org/wilkerson03132007.html) of this year.
I heard a commotion in the hall and stepped out of the room. In the hall I
saw the same huge cop on top of the second protester who'd come to the first
victim's aid. The cop had the man, a relatively small guy in his forties,
pinned down, arms pulled behind his back, getting handcuffed. The cop used PPCT
against this person also, not once but twice. The man writhed and cried out in
pain.
The cop used his far-greater strength and body weight, along with the force
of his knee on his victim's back to press his chest against the floor. It
would be impossible for a person to inflate his lungs pressed against the floor
with his hands cuffed behind his back like that. Asphyxiation being a
well-known cause of death of people in custody, when the man started calling out
that he couldn't breathe, I approached, identified myself as a doctor, and
instructed the cop to turn him over immediately. The victim went limp. The cop
turned him onto his back. I saw that the victim had a wound on his forehead and
blood in his nostrils. He was unconscious. Reiterating numerous times that I
was a doctor, I tried to move to where I could assess the victim for
breathing and a pulse. The cop shoved me, until finally, after my imploring him to
allow me to render medical care to the victim, he allowed me to determine that
the victim was alive. But he refused to remove the cuffs despite my requests.
A person lying with hands cuffed beneath his body risks nerve damage to the
extremities and, moreover, cannot be resuscitated. I continually re-assessed
the man, who had now become my patient, and who remained unconscious.
Eventually an ambulance arrived, along with the fire department and a
contingent of Ann Arbor police officers. While the paramedics went about their
business, the first thing being to have the cop un-cuff the patient, I tried to
fulfill my obligation to my patient. I tried to oversee what the paramedics
were doing, which, contrary to protocol and the normal relationship between
physician and paramedic, was all that I was allowed to do. I was forced to stay
away. What I witnessed in the course of their treatment appalled me. When the
patient didn't respond to a sternal rub, one of the paramedics popped an
ammonia inhalant and thrust it beneath the patient's nostrils. If you're
interested in what's wrong with that, google Dr. Bryan Bledsoe, foremost authority
on paramedicine, and read his article condemning this dangerous practice. That
it's "just bad medicine" is sufficient to make the paramedic's actions
unacceptable, but what happened next made my blood curdle. He popped a second
inhalant and a third, then cupped his hands over the patient's nostrils to
heighten the noxious effect. "You don't like that, do you?" he said.
At that point I issued a direct medical order for him to stop, but he
ignored me. "What you're doing is punitive," I said, "and has no efficacy." Then as
the patient retched, rather than rolling him onto his side to avoid the
chance of his choking on his own vomit, a firefighter held his feet down and
yelled, "don't spit." In thirty years of doctoring, I have never witnessed such
egregious maltreatment of a patient. Again I spoke up, "this is punitive." I
hoped to shame the paramedical into stopping his unethical behavior."
Please note that at no point did Wilkerson do anything other than offer
verbal advice.
The police--by now not just campus but also city cops were on the scene --
ordered her to leave. As she was doing so, a city cop seized her and put her
under arrest. His superiors soon determined there were no grounds for arrest
and she was released without having been handcuffed or requested to produce
ID.
Wilkerson has made her career serving low-income patients. For the last 5 to
6 years she's worked at a community medical clinic. She takes the U.S.
Constitution seriously and filed a complaint about the incident alleging police
misconduct. It took seven weeks for the cops to answer the charges, which they
did by the expedient of filing a report plump with mendacity about
Wilkerson's conduct the night of the arrests. The Washtenaw County Prosecutor, Brian
Mackie, at the apparent request of the UM police, charged her with two
attempted felonies based on "attempted interference" with the police officer who had
seized her.
Her attorney, civil rights lawyer Buck Davis, tells me that that county
judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines recently threw out two subsequent charges, claiming
that Wilkerson had tried to interfere with the campus police as well as the
police officer.
This coming week Wilkerson faces jury trial at the 15th District Court in
Ann Arbor. Wilkerson's lawyers will bring in eyewitnesses to the events on
November 30, 2006, plus expert witnesses including Brian Bledsoe, a Texas
attorney who has testified in cases across the country on the use of ammonia.
(Ammonia was involved in the death of Martin Lee Anderson at a juvenile 'boot camp'
detention facility in Florida.)
Buck Davis tells me that "ten or fifteen years ago this case would have been
a slam dunk, on First Amendment and medical privilege arguments, with no
physical contact with the cops, all in liberal Ann Arbor." Wilkerson would have
been swiftly acquitted.
"But now people are scared to death. They know the social system is falling
apart. They no longer have a generous spirit. I've learned that the erosion
of the economic and social fabric means people want to believe the cops.
They're frightened. So I'm not as arrogant about 'slam dunk' cases as I once was."
The case will probably run all week, except Thursday. If you can, show up in
court to support Catherine Wilkerson.
