Barbara Atwell from Berkeley Friends will moderate this discussion where the panelists will explore …

  • what kind of equipment East Bay police departments have,
  • what safeguards protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, and
  • how the purchase of military equipment and associated training has, as some say, changed the interactions of police with the citizens.
