Initially joining the Marines as a military police officer with an eye on a future in law enforcement, Mark found his calling within the Corps and chose to dedicate his life to it. He recounts his deployment experiences, including a harrowing incident aboard the USS Midway involving a collision with a Panamanian freighter that tragically resulted in the loss of two sailors. Mark also opens up about his transition back to civilian life after 21 years of service and his subsequent role in the Department of Justice, offering insights into the challenges and triumphs of moving on from a life in uniform.#VeteranStories #Marine #UrbanValor #Military Remember to like, comment, and SUBSCRIBE to support Urban Valor and the courageous Veterans who take the share and tell their story!

The police tactic of stop-and-frisk is back in the news and has become a campaign issue in the 2023 elections in Philadelphia. Some candidates for mayor and for city council have suggested that escalating its use against pedestrians in the city should be on the table as a public safety measure. For 12 years, the ACLU of Pennsylvania and co-counsel from the law firm Kairys Rudovsky Messing Feinberg and Linn have been enforcing a settlement in a 2010 lawsuit against the city over the aggressive, illegal, and unconstitutional use of stop-and-frisk by Philadelphia police. In this episode, we hear from the Rev. Mark Tyler of POWER, Yahaira Galarza, a community ambassador for ACLU-PA, and Mary Catherine Roper, former deputy legal director of the ACLU of PA. Mary Catherine is now an attorney with the law firm Langer Grogan and Diver and is co-counsel in the lawsuit Bailey v. City of Philadelphia, the case that challenged the city police department's use of stop-and-frisk.

JUSTIN --to make it into the ... strategic final thingee-- ABBY Ok. Shit I'm tired. [long deep thinking breath] He wouldn't let me use the bathroom. He didn't try and hit on me. Didn't know which number room was the one on the end. Didn't ask how many "we" were. Didn't know which rooms have queen beds. Didn't ask for a credit card. TYLER So? He's dead tired too. Big whoop. It's [looks] 2 freaking 55 in the morning. MARK Jeez, folks, we've had sessions which went long past 3! What's wrong with you? JUSTIN [muttered into the pillow] Getting old. MARK Yeah. You 25-year old over the hill codger, you. Abby, what would you do now? ABBY What? MARK This is the scenario. Right here. What would you do? TYLER Sleep. BRIANNA Seconded. JUSTIN [Snoring] MARK Assume it's unlikely we can drive out of here - at least not conveniently. How would you secure the room? ABBY [perking up] We could set watches-- TYLER [mumbled] Screw you! ABBY I can't watch all night. Adrenaline is only good for so long. MARK That guy struck you that bad? ABBY Yeah. I'm probably just-- MARK Let's assume otherwise. We have a map - of sorts - on the door there. Take a look. ABBY I - well, I got the room on the end, since we'd have a better chance of seeing or hearing anyone coming. MARK [chuckles] ABBY I can't help it. I'm already in strategy mode. Ok, the room has windows at the front and back and a bathroom that abuts the next room. No windows in the end wall. If we could keep an eye either side-- SOUND FEET ON CARPET, CURTAIN PULLED ASIDE, THEN WHIPPED BACK INTO PLACE. ABBY Oh, shit. MARK What? ABBY God, I hope no one saw the light. MARK I'll turn it off.

MARK I believe you. We need everyone if this is a real situation. Shit. ABBY There's woods - cover - right out back. If Tyler was up, he could go look. MARK He's not going to be up any time soon. ABBY I know what will-- I'm going to take a chance and get my other bag from the car. I'll see what I can see. MARK I'll try the phone-- ABBY No! MARK Why?

ABBY Un-huh. It may take a minute or two, but we'll get everyone up and running. MUSIC TYLER All you had to do was shout "Bob! Bob is coming!" and I woulda been up and running without the taste of ass - Bob was the demon in the larp last weekend, and man was he-- MARK Shush. EVERYONE [Murmurs of assent] MARK Let's assume this is not a drill. EVERYONE [a bit undecided murmurs] ABBY I know there's something odd here. I feel it. JUSTIN Are you sure you're not just jittery about the tourney? ABBY Probably am, but that doesn't make me think I'm wrong. BRIANNA [Still groggy] What do you want us to do? MARK Tyler, are you up for something that could be really dangerous? TYLER Hell yeah. BRIANNA [cautioning] Tyler? TYLER Well, how dangerous? MARK Abby? ABBY Out the back window of the room, I think I saw that armored car that nearly ran us down. It's parked in a dark spot. If it's really the one, and there's any chance it's the same one that was stolen, there's a good chance we've walked in on a den of thieves. We need to know. Can you get within range of it and have a look? TYLER Gimme a second. SOUND FEET. CURTAIN MOVES BRIANNA When you say "really dangerous"--? MARK They already killed a couple of guys during the holdup. I can't see them hesitating at shooting a few more bystanders. BRIANNA Tyler? ABBY Bree, I've Larped with him, and if anyone can really sneak, it's Folemon. BRIANNA But that's his character! ABBY In live action games, there are things you either can do or you can't, and sneaking is‑‑ TYLER [voice slightly different - "in character" as Folemon] I spy the brigands' carriage.

JUSTIN Well, no. ABBY They could have easily blocked the hatch. But they didn't and ended up fighting guys popping up out of it. BRIANNA They couldn't block it - they tried. There wasn't any heavy furniture. ABBY [derisive laugh] What do you call this? SOUND DULL THUMP JUSTIN A mattress. ABBY Have you ever had to move one? From a dead lift? And if that's not enough, the trapdoor was right next to the tub - you just soak the damn thing and no one - not even Schwarzenegger-- BRIANNA Well, back in his prime-- ABBY Is going to be able to shift it.

TYLER So I hobbled their horses. ABBY We need to go now. JUSTIN You did what? BRIANNA He let the air out of their tires. Tyler, sweetie, speak English so I can stop translating. TYLER Hey, what? They won't be able to come after us-- ABBY But they will know someone was spying on their truck. They might not notice the plate, but-- aagh! TYLER I was... um... in the zone? My character would have-- MARK Understandable. Let's deal with it. Were there any other cars out there? TYLER Not out back. MARK Justin? JUSTIN What? MARK Any other cars out front? JUSTIN I didn't notice. Sorry. MARK See what happens when you give up gaming? You lose your edge. You remember anything Abby? ABBY Not in the parking lot. I can take a look. MARK Hold off. What do we have for weapons, if it comes to that? JUSTIN Jack Shit. ABBY Torchiere for a club. BRIANNA No - no heft. ABBY We can wire the doorknob as a last resort - give someone a bitch of a shock.

MARK Look, bro- you can play along, and worst that happens is you look like an idiot with the rest of us, or you keep saying it can't be real and maybe take a bullet. Why not play along? JUSTIN Shit. What do you need me to do? I am not joining that party. [Moans continue intermittently] MARK Can you see what's at the top of the closet? Usually if there's access to an attic space, that's where it would be. JUSTIN Sure. MARK And you're tall enough. JUSTIN No problem.

Trade unions have been active in Timor Leste since 2001 when the Timor Leste Confederation of Trade Unions (KSTL) was formed with support from Australian unions. The major employer at the time was the United Nations and the young country was still under UN administration. Aside from very high unemployment and a government eager to attract foreign investment often at the expense of workers' rights, unions have also been at the forefront of struggles for oil and gas justice in the Timor Sea. Almerio Vila Nova is the General Secretary of the General Workers Union of Timor Leste and represents the younger generation of union activists trying to organise in very challenging economic and political conditions. He shares stories from current and historical industrial struggles as well as some experiences within the clandestine movement as a teenager. The interview has been translated from Tetum so the english translation is voiced by Mark Tyler.
