This is some of the best work I've seen yet from the media team.  Just excellent.  Yeah.  Kudos all around. 

And, needless to say, excellent work by the people IN the video.  I wasn't there (I attended the morning actions, but sold out to The Man® and went to work tonight), but judging by the video, it looks like people kept their cool without losing their passion. 

...but I have real concerns about this video as over 25% (02:34/09:57) of the footage is devoted to one individual:

00:00 - 00:41 Leading the march around the Plaza and being pushed by officers

01:41 - 02:04 Giving a personal Press Conference complete with shoutout to the unions for their involvement

03:33 - 03:58 Main speaker at an Occupy LA Press Confernece / reading a prepared statement

05:35 - 06:22 Meeting with LAPD officers and then communicating his version of what was said at that meeting to the crowd

06:33 -06:52 Again giving his version of the LAPD instructions to those assembled, this time using the human mic

There is general revulsion regarding the activities in the last two clips within OLA. The Transparency Proposal was developed to address these behaviors. There is no reason why the officer could not have spoken directly to those assembled, with or without the assistance of the human mic. No one should be inserting themselves as a liaison between the LAPD and the people as the people want and deserve firsthand information.

It was distressing to see, whether it was intentional or not, such a skewed effort, seemingly in support of the individual-in-question's political ambitions or other career plans. It shows no solidarity with the many activists who work long and hard without any expectation of personal recognition, least of all as being seen as a "leader", which is anathema to most.

Concentrating on this one individual also deflected the main focus from the day's actions and the dozens of individuals who faced arrest as nameless, faceless representatives of the Movement's resolve.

I ask Clark that you please recut this video, using footage from See's excellent Live Stream effort if necessary, to more honestly reflect the reality and ideals of Occupy Los Angeles and our determindly leaderless Movement. IMHO this video, in its present form, is not the image Occupy LA should "share with the World". It made this viewer squirm with embarrassment and anger.

Please also see the comments on YouTube re this video. There is no agenda that justifies angering people to this extent, especially since people are already angry that this individual has taken it upon himself to dominate almost every press report on Occupy LA.

When any one Occupier's purported value to the Movement is compromised by ego, it is beholden upon all of us to require that that person step back or down. Please make it clear where your loyalties lie.
