Hey @UCBerkeley, if you want to "stand in steadfast solidarity with our Black community," maybe you should cut ties with the six police departments we have MOUs with.
And while you're at it, abolish UCPD too.
Right after UC sent us all a letter saying "A robust civic discourse requires the truth: The killings must stop. The system must change" UCPD was deployed in Oakland last night.
@UofCalifornia WTF?
@GoldmanSchool your professors train these former OPD cops to be less biased. Why not advocate for a better system rather than trying to make slight improvements to our current one? Join your students in calling for #divestUCPD and a #policefreeUC
Our campuses are supposed to create an educated workforce that can improve the world. How can we do that when we are scared for our safety? Make our campuses #policefreeUC!
@UofCalifornia@UCBerkeley Thank you for your care for our safety -- now think about how the leading cause of death for young Black men is getting shot by the police (@latimes - https://t.co/DHlw87ZsS1) How can you ensure safety for your students, staff, and faculty @UofCalifornia#policefreeUC
@UCBerkeleySPH @UCBerkeley Listen to the experts -- police does not equate to safety. Safety begins with fair wages, affordable housing, and supporting our Black community members. @GoldmanSchool will you step up in calling for the #endBPDcontract and #DivestUCPD?
@UofCalifornia There is not safety when Black and brown students fear for the lives every day because of police. Safety begins with fair wages, stable housing, and supporting Black students, NOT armed police. @UofCalifornia when will you show your support and @divestUCPD?
