Note that the videos below are all raw (shot with my HTC Evo 5 via Cop Block’s Bambuser channel, my chest-mounted GoPro, and/or my Canon Vixia HF R10. At the conclusion of The Cop Block Tour I’ll make time to put-together some solid, over-arching videos using content from this stop.

On Tue., Jan. 23rd, 2013 
I arrived in DC with two commitments – speaking with Cato interns during the day and a meetup with area Copblockers and like-minded folks in the evening. Both were definitely a good use of time.

Before getting to DC I did a little outreach to Greenbelt police employees:
When rolling into town I shared some thoughts about the ATF and the actions of those employed at that outfit:
At 2pm I stopped by the Cato Institute and had an almost two-hour conversation with the current interns. Here’s a recap:
Here’s the Focus on the Institution video I mentioned, and here’s a link about Austrian Economics if you’re curious.
In the evening a good group assembled at an eatery in Arlington. After a bite and small talk we moved to a nearby room that was quieter where I gave an overview of Cop Block and we shared thoughts on effective tactics and brainstormed future collaboration. Much thanks to YouTube.com/FreeStateGirlVideos for capturing the following:
Afterwards, Ingrid, Dave and I walked from Whitlow’s to the cop shop, then back on a parallel street – we did outreach to the few we passed along the way but didn’t really see or anticipate much police action in that area at that time. But it gave us time to brainstorm and connect with was beneficial.
I really do hope those in the MD/DC/Nova area connect with the folks active in that area!

As I rolled south down I-95 toward Richmond, I gave a recap of the evening and a plug for CopBlock.org Protection.
Another idiot activist whining and crying about how life is so unfair. Shave, you look like a bigger idiot then what I have been giving you credit for.
I thank slappy is jealous that the Cop Block guys get to live their lives the way they choose.
Slappy = Leo’s wife….go vacume or something.
Thanks for the reference to Herbert Spencer’s “The Right to Ignore the State”. It was a good read.
I also liked the idea mentioned about reading the paper to find arrests of individuals for victimless crimes and contacting them to inform them of their rights and let them know they’re not alone.
As a experienced English police officer of 23 years your YouTube postings just show the world what a juvenile idiot you are, instead of deliberately trying to wind up law enforcement try putting your time to more productive blogs trying to help the brave men and women who keep you safe . It’s a shame our world is the way it is, so much anarchy and hatred, and your just one of those miserable souls we serve to protect, but we get on with it.

What can you do to keep me safe that I can’t do for myslef?…Do they teach you that line at the academy?
