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?
