@KTVU @ACSOSheriffs Heartbroken or not, much of what the Sheriff laid out on air was simply false or misleading. Here's a breakdown of his main claims and some responses.

[Critical Resistance @C_Resistance]

AC Sheriff on @KTVU pointing to #NewZealandMosqueAttack as reason Urban Shield was needed. How disgusting that he would exploit yesterday's Islamophobic tragedy to justify a program that was widely condemned for it's Islamophobia and depiction of Arabs and Muslims as threats

[Heather Holmes @HeatherHolmesTV]

Debating the future of #UrbanShield. We'll discuss the recommendations @StopUrbanShield has been pushing for and get reaction from @ACSOSheriffs. It's coming up next here on #The4 on @KTVU.

Last summer, we mobilized to a @CityofBerkeley hearing where the city voted to remain on the wrong side of history and participate in Urban Shield. We were then met with the same police violence we were fighting. Yet today we celebrate our community victory in ending Urban Shield
