CLMP advised homesteaders on how to behave during a raid and began training teams of observers in nonviolence and consensus. These teams became the Citizens Observation Groups (COG), dispatched by telephone trees, CB and KERG radio, to follow police to witness and record o cers’ conduct during raids.
John Boyd (hat), Bob Burke (yellow shirt), Ted Kogon (blue jacket), Al ‘Owl’ Cerraulo (armband). Cybelle Immitt identified her uncle Bob Burke in the yellow sweatshirt: “Uncle Bobby! I honestly didn’t know he was involved in this. Raised a nice east coast Irish catholic boy with my Dad and became a lawyer. He’s the only Burke that followed Jan out west. RIP Bobby!”
In COG? Neato!!
