Redwood Curtain CopWatch, based in the north coast of California, is part of a larger movement of self organized CopWatch groups throughout the US. Our local efforts seek to intervene in the drastic rise of the presence, militarization, and violence of the police, and build support networks based on self-determination, caring, and concrete needs.

These are only a few of things we have been told that Eureka PD's Sanchez has said to people:
"No one will miss you if I shoot you in the back of the head"
"Do you go to this church? Well I am Catholic and I do go to this church [not true], and I don't want you sleeping at my church"
"If I see you again sitting anywhere with your blanket, I will take you to jail."
"You'd be better off in prison" [to homeless and disabled woman]
"You wrote a letter calling me a liar. That's why I'm giving you a ticket."
"If I see you here again with that sign, I'm gonna arrest you."
"You'd be better off dead." [to homeless, middle-aged woman]
