BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) Berkeley City Council held a special meeting Tuesday night to vote on sweeping police reforms.
Convened before police killed George Floyd last May, Berkeley s Fair and Impartial Policing Workgroup, shared data on racial disparities, when it comes to who Berkeley Police stop in cars, on bikes, and on foot. In Berkeley, for the years 2015 to 2018, black drivers were about eight times more likely to be stopped than White drivers, said Police Review Commissioner, Kitty Calavita, while showing a bar graph that demonstrated the imbalance.
