Berkeley Copwatch is hosting a mass copwatching shift on Friday May 31. Tell your friends and neighbors! Check out more info: indybay.org/newsitems/2024/0…
"The Bike Taskforce specialized in predatory policing tactics which resulted in the arrest of hundreds of individuals who were never charged with a crime."

Breaking ‘Textgate’ report on Berkeley Police’s illegal arrest quotas and targeting of poor, unhoused and Black Berkeley residents shows that the Bike Taskforce used predatory policing tactics which resulted in hundreds of unnecessary arrests.

Less than 72 hours after BPD shut down the Chess Club (a community mainstay on Telegraph Ave), the organizer Jessie Sheehan was brutally arrested. For hours, he was disappeared into the system, tortured, abandoned at a hospital in Pleasanton, and then cited and released.
In this video, Jessie is being lifted by his wrists after having sustained injuries from being assaulted.

In 2017, Off. Richard Marble racially profiled, cuffed and pushed a Black man to the ground without probable cause. Five years later, he pulled a gun on two Black men while off duty. How many more incidents is BPD sitting on?

Copwatch Community Cookout - Next Sunday Sept 10, 12-4pm
RSVP: bit.ly/47LWJLT
Berkeley marched for an alternative to police. This city is betraying their promise to create alternatives to police by cutting the re-imaginging public safety budget.
Council votes tomorrow. Come speak out!
docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Today 6pm City Council will vote on the 2023-24 budget which includes a $1 million CUT to the Re-imagining Public Safety budget while bolstering the police department by nearly $20 million.
This is an insult to Berkeleyans.
Meeting info: berkeleyca.gov/city-council-…
We have evidence of racism, overtime abuse and arrest quotas in the Berkeley Police Department.
The Berkeley City Council is planning to appoint the Interim Police Chief to a permanent position TOMORROW

"We are expecting a few cops and UC workers to come to the park around 9am [today, Wednesday, Auguast 10]] to clean. We need copwatchers to be around to prevent abuses/document. Please show up with a friend and a fully charged phone!"
