Tampa City Council to consider new ordinance to allow outside legal counsel for Citizens Review Board

City councilors in Tampa Thursday are expected to discuss drafting a new ordinance to allow outside legal counsel for the citizen board that reviews alleged police misconduct.

A local activist group has been urging city councilors to adopt a new ordinance to allow the Tampa Citizens Review Board to hire an independent lawyer.

Tampa's Citizens Review Board was established in 2015 to build trust between the Tampa Police Department and the community, but the Tampa Bay Community Action Committee says right now, the board can't trust that its legal counsel is objective.

The Criminals Of Tampa Food Not Bombs

Most of you that read this blog know that a recent FNB share  at Gaslight Park was threatened with arrest by TPD officers for refusing to pack up and leave immediately. TPD detained one of our greatest treasures Dezeray Lyn for 30 minutes while running her ID and stated that they can no longer share without permits, citing an ordinance that is only being enforced now as the city prepares for world famous musicians and sporting events happening this weekend. A Parks Division worker walked around photographing houseless folks eating breakfast in the park while TPD demanded that they leave the public park for doing absolutely nothing. This is in addition to TPD arresting houseless folks and telling them to "disappear for two weeks" to invisiblize them so tourists and concert goers don't have to see Tampa's suffering. here
-------------------------------------------------------
This weekend they need your help. 
Saturday at 4 PM - 6 PM

Tampa Food Not Bombs will be sharing food with our friends who are experiencing homelesness and anybody and everybody who is hungry. 

This week's share is especially important, as we've faced harassment from the Tampa Parks Department and Tampa Police Department and been threatened with arrest for sharing food with the houseless community. We invite you to come and stand with us and the houseless community and stand against unjust laws. As always, Food Not Bombs will stand against oppression peacefully, so in the event that TPD makes arrests, we ask that you take to social media, live stream or tweet what's happening. We will not back down in the face of injustice.

Tampa Students Protest Homophobic Speaker

Members of Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) protested against Rosaria Butterfield, a self-described former “radical lesbian feminist turned pastor’s wife.” Butterfield now writes and gives lectures opposing homosexuality and advocating for evangelical Christianity. She believes that homosexuality is a sin and that her pride in being a lesbian was an even greater sin. Under the watchful guard of Tampa Police, private security and USF administrators, the protesters stood for the entirety of her speech as onlookers took pictures and gave approval to the protest act.
