Occupied Media: Interview With Spencer Mills (a/k/a OakFoSho)

This interview with Spencer Mills (a/k/a OakFoSho) - as well as a slightly earlier interview with Punkboyinsf (which is held up in editing due to technical issues) - are my first interviews of fellow Occupiers. Partially for that reason, but also because I think these guys are absolutely amazing, these interviews may be my favorite.

Spencer and I pretty much cover the map - how he got started with Occupy and streaming, media objectivity, "diversity of tactics" and transparency, the raid of Occupy LA, the various people Occupying trees (I absolutely LOVE the tree people) and the impressive occupation that is Occupy Oakland. As anyone who has watched OakFoSho's stream knows, he's incredibly interesting and opinionated - pretty much a dream interview. So, the one and only, OakFoSho:

Here is the "diversity of tactics" piece by Nathan Schneider of Waging Nonviolence, mentioned during the interview. And here's Nathan's follow-up on that issue.

And here is the video where the LAPD officer points his weapon at Spencer:



Also, we talked over Melissa's twitter handle - it is @@muhlisuh13

Special thanks to video editor, Brandon Goff for getting this out so quickly.
