Berkeley Copwatch: Behind the Mask, panel of speakers & community discussion

In early January of this year, Vincent Bryant, a Black, unhoused man was shot in the face at point blank range by the Berkeley Police while experiencing a mental health crisis. Berkeley Copwatch invites you to analyze footage of this incident.

The public is invited, we will be joined by a panel of professionals working in mental health to explore the rising opportunity for alternative responses to mental health emergencies in Berkeley, our current state, as well as a look at other communities already doing this work. Break out groups will follow and community dialogue will be encouraged during the zoom event.
