In 2000 we made a giant riot cop #puppet “Officer Friendly”

Why should only the protesters get puppets?

It was weird the way it changed dynamics at demonstrations

Hard to tell if it ever diffused police violence, but it always made them laugh

If you begin a #protest with the cops asking for selfies with you, maybe it makes it harder for them to beat you up?

Fucking great puppet
👮🏼‍♀️🤡

Line of riot cops in front of the Seattle Jail at the WTO anniversary in 2000. Standing next to a 12 foot tall riot cop puppet. One cop with a moustache is smiling for the camera.
Giant riot cop puppet looking menacing with a foam night stick and super soaker pepper spray held as high in the air as the line of real riot cops strung across the street behind him. This photo on a march in downtown Los Angeles at the Democratic national convention in 2000.
Another photo of Officer Friendly, the giant riot cop standing next to his mascot, the much shorter real riot cop in front of the Seattle jail. This image shows Officer Friendly’s puppeteer legs looking rather uninspiring in unmatched brown work pants. Also the carpenters nail bag wrapped around the puppeteer’s waist, which held the super soaker water jug that supplied the working “pepper spray” gun.
