"content": "\u003cp>Attorneys representing 14 people who say they were struck and jabbed by police batons, clubbed, beaten, tear gassed, slammed to the ground, fired on with “less lethal” projectiles or arrested during December protests in Berkeley related to the Black Lives Matter movement are considering filing a lawsuit against the city on their clients’ behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Their whole approach to the demonstration from their initial planning was just wrong. ...

And that caused them to treat the demonstrators like potentially violent criminals.'\u003ccite>Rachel Lederman,\u003cbr>Protesters' Attorney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some of the claimants were reporters or individuals documenting the protests. One UC Berkeley student said she was unable to complete her semester or graduate as a result of her injuries. One woman, a minister who said she was struck in the back of the head while trying to help up another demonstrator who had fallen, required three staples at the emergency room to close the gash she received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late June, attorneys filed four tort claims outlining alleged injuries to their clients. Those documents are required to be submitted prior to the official filing of a lawsuit against a government entity, explained Berkeley attorney James B. Chanin. Chanin and attorney Rachel Lederman of San Francisco-based Lederman & Beach Attorneys At Law are representing the group on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a brief statement posted by Lederman, “Our clients include a Chronicle photographer and a minister who were clubbed on the heads for no apparent reason; a 55-year-old Berkeley Rent Board counselor who was clubbed in the back from behind while she was urging other demonstrators to give the police space; and a visitor from Los Angeles who happened on the demonstration and had been there for only minutes when he was shot with a ‘less lethal’ munition, fracturing his knee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman told Berkeleyside in late July that it could be a month or two before the lawsuit is actually filed. She said she and Chanin had been “having some initial discussions” with the city of Berkeley “to see if we can avoid that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each of the claims is “in excess of $10,000,” according to court documents, and alleges constitutional rights violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incidents described in court papers took place from Dec. 6-8, 2014, when protesters demanding an end to police brutality flocked to Berkeley by the hundreds. The majority of the injuries are alleged to have taken place Dec. 6, when crowds demonstrated for hours in Berkeley. Police ultimately used tear gas to clear the streets and push the protesters down Telegraph Avenue into Oakland. Police said members of the crowd surrounded them and were hurling projectiles at them, which ultimately led to the decision to use tear gas on demonstrators in Berkeley for the first time in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many community members and some city officials have criticized that decision, which is still \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/10/police-review-commission-gets-first-chance-for-answers-from-berkeley-police-after-december-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">under review\u003c/a> by the city’s volunteer Police Review Commission. The Berkeley City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/02/11/berkeley-council-limits-police-tear-gas-use-for-now/\" target=\"_blank\">voted in February\u003c/a> to enact a temporary moratorium on the use of tear gas during nonviolent demonstrations pending the completion of that review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks that followed those first nights in Berkeley, many community members testified repeatedly about what they believed had been inappropriate and repeated use of force by officers in Berkeley during the December protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">Complete Berkeleyside Protest Coverage\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10640809\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/canister.png\" alt=\"Berkeleyside\" width=\"715\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/canister.png 715w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/canister-400x266.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">A Sampling of Top Stories\u003c/h4>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/11/police-report-mistakes-challenges-in-berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">Police Report Mistakes, Challenges in Berkeley Protests\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/10/police-review-commission-gets-first-chance-for-answers-from-berkeley-police-after-december-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">Police Review Commission Gets First Chance for Answers After Protests \u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/09/berkeley-police-release-long-awaited-protest-report/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley Police Release Long-Awaited Protest Report\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/02/11/berkeley-council-limits-police-tear-gas-use-for-now/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley City Council Limits Police Tear Gas Use, For Now\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/02/05/exclusive-23-minute-delay-for-paramedics-during-berkeley-protests-patient-later-died/\" target=\"_blank\">Exclusive: 23-minute Delay for Paramedics During Berkeley Protests, Patient Later Died\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/09/photo-gallery-third-night-of-berkeley-protests-trains-halted-a-freeway-at-a-standstill/\" target=\"_blank\">Photo Gallery: Third Night of Protests, Trains Halted, a Freeway Brought to a Standstill\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/06/breaking-post-ferguson-demo-in-downtown-berkeley-march-continues-to-berkeley-police-hq/\" target=\"_blank\">Ferguson Demo in Berkeley: Injuries Reported, Tear Gas Used, Property Vandalized\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Police Department completed its own \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/09/berkeley-police-release-long-awaited-protest-report/\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a> in June, which concluded that mistakes had been made, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/11/police-report-mistakes-challenges-in-berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">suggested changes\u003c/a> to how it handles protests in the future. The report cost approximately $221,000 -- staff time from January through June for four officers and another city staffer -- to complete. Earlier this year, the department estimated that the response to the protests in December would likely \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">cost several hundred thousand dollars\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police officers used an estimated \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/11/police-report-mistakes-challenges-in-berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">50 tear gas grenades and “blast rounds”\u003c/a> to clear Telegraph on Dec. 6 around 10:20 p.m. after \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">sustaining numerous injuries to officers\u003c/a> in the preceding several hours. The vast majority of the injuries reported by claimants represented by Chanin and Lederman also took place that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to court documents, minister \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/06/breaking-post-ferguson-demo-in-downtown-berkeley-march-continues-to-berkeley-police-hq/\" target=\"_blank\">Cindy Pincus\u003c/a> tried to help a woman who had fallen down after being jabbed by a police officer’s club when an officer from an unknown department \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Pincus.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">struck her in the head\u003c/a>. (Berkeley police had called for mutual aid that night from other Bay Area law enforcement officers. An estimated \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">100-200 of those officers\u003c/a> bolstered Berkeley’s own forces, which included 80-100 police.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police had “deployed chemical agents and dangerous ‘less lethal’ munitions into the retreating crowd” and Pincus tried to flee but was disoriented, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Pincus.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">attorneys wrote\u003c/a>, “unable to see and bleeding from the head.” She managed to find two friends who helped her get to the hospital, where she required staples to close the gash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another claimant, UC Berkeley student Allie Loux, said she was trying to get home after taking part in the demonstrations that evening. According to court documents, she was unable to leave due to “police formations.” (At various points in the night, officers set up skirmish lines to try to direct the crowd or limit its access to different areas; police said in June that this increased tension with the crowd, and that the department should consider alternate approaches when possible in the future.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As police were deploying tear gas, Loux collapsed and fell to the ground, which ultimately \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Loux.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">resulted in a concussion\u003c/a>, according to court papers. Loux says she had to withdraw from school as a result of her injuries, and was therefore unable to graduate on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the night, at 6:30 p.m., San Francisco Chronicle photographer Sam Wolson said he was taking pictures of the demonstration near the Public Safety Building in his professional capacity when an officer “pushed him, and then struck him on the back of the head and neck with a police ‘baton’ from behind, as he was kneeling on the ground taking a photograph with his professional camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, three other injuries were reported. Demonstrator Joseph Cuff was walking with his dog when an officer \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/YhGTdPosaeU\" target=\"_blank\">shoved him\u003c/a> with his baton, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Attachment-Multiple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">slamming him to the ground\u003c/a>.” (Some have said it was the incident with Cuff that \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/11/police-report-mistakes-challenges-in-berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">upset the crowd\u003c/a> and led to much of the tension and violence that followed.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley resident Moni Law said she was trying to encourage the crowd to keep a safe distance from police when an officer “\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Attachment-Multiple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">clubbed her from behind\u003c/a>.” Nearby, UC Berkeley student Nisa Dang said she too was clubbed while “peacefully participating in the demonstration.” According to court documents, police then threw “flash grenades” and “chemical agents” at the crowd. (Police \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">say they used smoke\u003c/a> canisters at this time, but did not use tear gas until later in the night, on Telegraph. According to Berkeley Police, the department never threw flash grenades.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curtis Johnson was struck in the knee with what court papers describe as “‘sponge rounds’, a high velocity so-called ‘less lethal’ munition,” after being surrounded without warning by officers, according to the attorneys, near University Avenue around 10 p.m. The blast fractured his knee, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several others said they were injured by police on Telegraph Avenue around 9:40 p.m. Emily Power said she was jabbed by officers who “hit her repeatedly and took her to the ground” and arrested her. Local journalist Rasheed Shabazz “was visibly engaged in photojournalism,” according to the tort claim, when an officer struck his camera and chest multiple times, then clubbed him in the knee from behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 10 p.m., Joseph Watkins was on his way home when he reportedly saw police using force on demonstrators and \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Attachment-Multiple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">questioned the tactics\u003c/a>, according to the tort claim. Officers “grabbed and arrested” him, then covered his face and mouth, not allowing him to tell a National Lawyers Guild representative his name, the attorneys wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two others, Todd Zimmer and Claire Sandberg, were recording police officers “jabbing and clubbing people” at Telegraph and Channing Way when an officer, according to the documents, struck Sandberg in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers then hit Zimmer’s “hand, camera and shoulder multiple times,” wrote the attorneys. “As with Mr. SHABAZZ, they appeared to be targeting his camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dang, who had been hit earlier near the Public Safety Building, said she was again “pushed and jabbed multiple times by unidentified officers” while on Telegraph Avenue as police moved the crowd south toward Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two others, Hudson Soules and Shannon Strazdas, said they were walking home after a protest in Berkeley the following night, Dec. 7, when they were blocked by a police line. When they asked if they could get through to their South Berkeley home, according to court papers, officers pulled Soules “through the line and beat him, hitting him in the head and face and causing his pants to be pulled down. The officers then left his pants down as he stood handcuffed, under arrest, and refused to pull them up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strazdas asked why Soules was being arrested, and police then arrested her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wrote the attorneys, “None of the Claimants presented a threat or engaged in any conduct justifying any use of force by the police at any time. Most appear to have been targeted simply because they were toward the front of the crowd, in some cases because they were trying to act as peacekeepers. Others such as WOLSON, SHABAZZ and ZIMMER appear to have been targeted for taking photos or video.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the four arrests, the attorneys said none of their clients had been engaged in unlawful conduct, and that charges have not been filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said the National Lawyers Guild had legal observers at many of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the Bay Area in November and December, and provided 24-hour hotlines during those protests to help community members who had trouble with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the Berkeley demonstrations that we actually got the most complaints about,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said that led her to attempt to speak with as many people as she could who had been injured or affected “to try to see what we could do to improve Berkeley police practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said she believes the Berkeley Police Department has weaknesses in its approach to general accountability as well as racial profiling, and a “lack of effective oversight.” The department, she added, has a number of “piecemeal” policies related to crowd control that she thinks it has lost track of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/09/berkeley-police-release-long-awaited-protest-report/\" target=\"_blank\">whole approach\u003c/a> to the demonstration from their initial planning was just wrong,” she said. “They assumed the demonstrators would cause violence. And that caused them to treat the demonstrators like potentially violent criminals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said officers had too much discretion to use force “against protesters who weren’t actually doing anything wrong,” and said it appeared that “a combination of poor policies, a lack of planning and a lack of sensible command decisions” had led to the issues that arose in December between police and the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chanin, a civil rights attorney who was a founding member of Berkeley’s Police Review Commission, said it had been disappointing to see the local police response to the December demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Other cities had these demonstrations without a lot of dissatisfaction, people getting injured, etc. Even Oakland did,” he said. “It’s very disappointing, because Berkeley used to be much better at this than they were this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither he nor Lederman was impressed by the department’s report about the protests, which they said inappropriately lumped all the demonstrators into one group of bad actors, and failed to account for some of the problems that arose: the missing radio traffic recordings from the first night, which weren’t created due to a technical glitch; the lack of detail regarding officer use of force; and the failure to include specifics about “less lethal” munitions deployed by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just think they spent too much time talking about all the violence of the demonstrators: They \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/09/berkeley-police-release-long-awaited-protest-report/\" target=\"_blank\">meticulously photographed every rock\u003c/a>, discussed every bad act. But they couldn’t record their own bad acts, their own force,” said Chanin. “They very painstakingly reported everyone’s use of force except their own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Review Commission is set to continue its discussion regarding the police response to the Berkeley protests Wednesday night. Meeting details and materials are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/Clerk/Commissions/Commissions__Police_Review_Commission_Homepage.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">posted on the city website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>See Berkeleyside's complete \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">protest coverage here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you rely on Berkeleyside for local news?

One UC Berkeley student said she was unable to complete her semester or graduate as a result of her injuries. One woman, a minister who said she was struck in the back of the head while trying to help up another demonstrator who had fallen, required three staples at the emergency room to close the gash she received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late June, attorneys filed four tort claims outlining alleged injuries to their clients. Those documents are required to be submitted prior to the official filing of a lawsuit against a government entity, explained Berkeley attorney James B. Chanin. Chanin and attorney Rachel Lederman of San Francisco-based Lederman & Beach Attorneys At Law are representing the group on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a brief statement posted by Lederman, “Our clients include a Chronicle photographer and a minister who were clubbed on the heads for no apparent reason; a 55-year-old Berkeley Rent Board counselor who was clubbed in the back from behind while she was urging other demonstrators to give the police space; and a visitor from Los Angeles who happened on the demonstration and had been there for only minutes when he was shot with a ‘less lethal’ munition, fracturing his knee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman told Berkeleyside in late July that it could be a month or two before the lawsuit is actually filed. She said she and Chanin had been “having some initial discussions” with the city of Berkeley “to see if we can avoid that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The majority of the injuries are alleged to have taken place Dec. 6, when crowds demonstrated for hours in Berkeley. Police ultimately used tear gas to clear the streets and push the protesters down Telegraph Avenue into Oakland. Police said members of the crowd surrounded them and were hurling projectiles at them, which ultimately led to the decision to use tear gas on demonstrators in Berkeley for the first time in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many community members and some city officials have criticized that decision, which is still \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/10/police-review-commission-gets-first-chance-for-answers-from-berkeley-police-after-december-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">under review\u003c/a> by the city’s volunteer Police Review Commission.

The report cost approximately $221,000 -- staff time from January through June for four officers and another city staffer -- to complete. Earlier this year, the department estimated that the response to the protests in December would likely \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">cost several hundred thousand dollars\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police officers used an estimated \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/11/police-report-mistakes-challenges-in-berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">50 tear gas grenades and “blast rounds”\u003c/a> to clear Telegraph on Dec. 6 around 10:20 p.m. after \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">sustaining numerous injuries to officers\u003c/a> in the preceding several hours. The vast majority of the injuries reported by claimants represented by Chanin and Lederman also took place that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to court documents, minister \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/06/breaking-post-ferguson-demo-in-downtown-berkeley-march-continues-to-berkeley-police-hq/\" target=\"_blank\">Cindy Pincus\u003c/a> tried to help a woman who had fallen down after being jabbed by a police officer’s club when an officer from an unknown department \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Pincus.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">struck her in the head\u003c/a>. (Berkeley police had called for mutual aid that night from other Bay Area law enforcement officers. An estimated \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">100-200 of those officers\u003c/a> bolstered Berkeley’s own forces, which included 80-100 police.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police had “deployed chemical agents and dangerous ‘less lethal’ munitions into the retreating crowd” and Pincus tried to flee but was disoriented, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Pincus.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">attorneys wrote\u003c/a>, “unable to see and bleeding from the head.” She managed to find two friends who helped her get to the hospital, where she required staples to close the gash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another claimant, UC Berkeley student Allie Loux, said she was trying to get home after taking part in the demonstrations that evening. According to court documents, she was unable to leave due to “police formations.” (At various points in the night, officers set up skirmish lines to try to direct the crowd or limit its access to different areas; police said in June that this increased tension with the crowd, and that the department should consider alternate approaches when possible in the future.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As police were deploying tear gas, Loux collapsed and fell to the ground, which ultimately \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Loux.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">resulted in a concussion\u003c/a>, according to court papers. Loux says she had to withdraw from school as a result of her injuries, and was therefore unable to graduate on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the night, at 6:30 p.m., San Francisco Chronicle photographer Sam Wolson said he was taking pictures of the demonstration near the Public Safety Building in his professional capacity when an officer “pushed him, and then struck him on the back of the head and neck with a police ‘baton’ from behind, as he was kneeling on the ground taking a photograph with his professional camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, three other injuries were reported. Demonstrator Joseph Cuff was walking with his dog when an officer \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/YhGTdPosaeU\" target=\"_blank\">shoved him\u003c/a> with his baton, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Attachment-Multiple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">slamming him to the ground\u003c/a>.” (Some have said it was the incident with Cuff that \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/11/police-report-mistakes-challenges-in-berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">upset the crowd\u003c/a> and led to much of the tension and violence that followed.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley resident Moni Law said she was trying to encourage the crowd to keep a safe distance from police when an officer “\u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Attachment-Multiple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">clubbed her from behind\u003c/a>.” Nearby, UC Berkeley student Nisa Dang said she too was clubbed while “peacefully participating in the demonstration.” According to court documents, police then threw “flash grenades” and “chemical agents” at the crowd. (Police \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/01/08/berkeley-police-qa-tear-gas-use-protest-costs-more/\" target=\"_blank\">say they used smoke\u003c/a> canisters at this time, but did not use tear gas until later in the night, on Telegraph. According to Berkeley Police, the department never threw flash grenades.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curtis Johnson was struck in the knee with what court papers describe as “‘sponge rounds’, a high velocity so-called ‘less lethal’ munition,” after being surrounded without warning by officers, according to the attorneys, near University Avenue around 10 p.m. The blast fractured his knee, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several others said they were injured by police on Telegraph Avenue around 9:40 p.m. Emily Power said she was jabbed by officers who “hit her repeatedly and took her to the ground” and arrested her. Local journalist Rasheed Shabazz “was visibly engaged in photojournalism,” according to the tort claim, when an officer struck his camera and chest multiple times, then clubbed him in the knee from behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 10 p.m., Joseph Watkins was on his way home when he reportedly saw police using force on demonstrators and \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Tort-Claim-Attachment-Multiple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">questioned the tactics\u003c/a>, according to the tort claim. Officers “grabbed and arrested” him, then covered his face and mouth, not allowing him to tell a National Lawyers Guild representative his name, the attorneys wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two others, Todd Zimmer and Claire Sandberg, were recording police officers “jabbing and clubbing people” at Telegraph and Channing Way when an officer, according to the documents, struck Sandberg in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers then hit Zimmer’s “hand, camera and shoulder multiple times,” wrote the attorneys. “As with Mr. SHABAZZ, they appeared to be targeting his camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dang, who had been hit earlier near the Public Safety Building, said she was again “pushed and jabbed multiple times by unidentified officers” while on Telegraph Avenue as police moved the crowd south toward Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two others, Hudson Soules and Shannon Strazdas, said they were walking home after a protest in Berkeley the following night, Dec. 7, when they were blocked by a police line. When they asked if they could get through to their South Berkeley home, according to court papers, officers pulled Soules “through the line and beat him, hitting him in the head and face and causing his pants to be pulled down. The officers then left his pants down as he stood handcuffed, under arrest, and refused to pull them up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strazdas asked why Soules was being arrested, and police then arrested her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wrote the attorneys, “None of the Claimants presented a threat or engaged in any conduct justifying any use of force by the police at any time. Most appear to have been targeted simply because they were toward the front of the crowd, in some cases because they were trying to act as peacekeepers. Others such as WOLSON, SHABAZZ and ZIMMER appear to have been targeted for taking photos or video.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the four arrests, the attorneys said none of their clients had been engaged in unlawful conduct, and that charges have not been filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said the National Lawyers Guild had legal observers at many of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the Bay Area in November and December, and provided 24-hour hotlines during those protests to help community members who had trouble with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was the Berkeley demonstrations that we actually got the most complaints about,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said that led her to attempt to speak with as many people as she could who had been injured or affected “to try to see what we could do to improve Berkeley police practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said she believes the Berkeley Police Department has weaknesses in its approach to general accountability as well as racial profiling, and a “lack of effective oversight.” The department, she added, has a number of “piecemeal” policies related to crowd control that she thinks it has lost track of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/09/berkeley-police-release-long-awaited-protest-report/\" target=\"_blank\">whole approach\u003c/a> to the demonstration from their initial planning was just wrong,” she said. “They assumed the demonstrators would cause violence. And that caused them to treat the demonstrators like potentially violent criminals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said officers had too much discretion to use force “against protesters who weren’t actually doing anything wrong,” and said it appeared that “a combination of poor policies, a lack of planning and a lack of sensible command decisions” had led to the issues that arose in December between police and the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chanin, a civil rights attorney who was a founding member of Berkeley’s Police Review Commission, said it had been disappointing to see the local police response to the December demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Other cities had these demonstrations without a lot of dissatisfaction, people getting injured, etc. Even Oakland did,” he said. “It’s very disappointing, because Berkeley used to be much better at this than they were this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither he nor Lederman was impressed by the department’s report about the protests, which they said inappropriately lumped all the demonstrators into one group of bad actors, and failed to account for some of the problems that arose: the missing radio traffic recordings from the first night, which weren’t created due to a technical glitch; the lack of detail regarding officer use of force; and the failure to include specifics about “less lethal” munitions deployed by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just think they spent too much time talking about all the violence of the demonstrators: They \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/09/berkeley-police-release-long-awaited-protest-report/\" target=\"_blank\">meticulously photographed every rock\u003c/a>, discussed every bad act. But they couldn’t record their own bad acts, their own force,” said Chanin. “They very painstakingly reported everyone’s use of force except their own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Review Commission is set to continue its discussion regarding the police response to the Berkeley protests Wednesday night. Meeting details and materials are \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/Clerk/Commissions/Commissions__Police_Review_Commission_Homepage.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">posted on the city website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>See Berkeleyside's complete \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-protests/\" target=\"_blank\">protest coverage here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If the intent was, as the quote is, to 'get them running,' that is not the proper way to handle any demonstration in the city of Berkeley,” Perezvelez said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said a better approach would have been to \"keep [protesters] moving, keep them safe, keep them on the streets, make sure they’re safe, make sure the demonstration keeps moving through the city. ... The usage of the words ‘get them running’ gives a much different perspective and definition to the action, and is extremely unfortunate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police spokeswoman Jenn Coats wrote in an email Thursday that the \"get'um running\" statement from notes delivered to officers at a pre-event briefing was a \"talking point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It references helping spread out those groups to be able to better identify specific individuals that were committing crimes,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department posted its own report on the December unrest on Tuesday.

We have no way of knowing what would have happened had the Department applied different strategies and tactics. The Department did many things right over the course of the protests and riots. Through this process we identified many opportunities for improvement. Leaders in the department were instrumental in this process by offering candid critiques, feedback and recommendations. This review's recommendations will serve to positively impact similar future operations.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meehan \u003ca href=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2094497-general-emails.html#document/p1/a222074\" target=\"_blank\">has praised\u003c/a> officers' \"professionalism, patience and courage\" in the face of what he characterized as an attack on police headquarters on the first night of the protests -- Dec. 6, 2014 -- and in responding to widespread vandalism the following night. Protest organizers \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/08/berkeley-mayor-better-communications-needed-with-protesters\" target=\"_blank\">criticized police\u003c/a> for what they called an aggressive response that included batons, tear gas and the use of “less-lethal” munitions such as rubber bullets or beanbags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests were called in response to police violence in Ferguson, Missouri, New York City and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Daily Cal, UC Berkeley's independent, student-run paper, obtained the department documents from the Police Review Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2094496-incident-action-plans.html\" target=\"_blank\">briefing notes\u003c/a>\" presented to department members in the hours before the first evening of protest, officers \u003ca href=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2094496-incident-action-plans.html#document/p1/a222076\" target=\"_blank\">were advised\u003c/a> that in handling demonstrators they should aim to, \"Get'um running!

As you fire up the barbie at home, though, you can mull the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dol.gov/laborday/history.htm\">history \u003c/a>of the holiday itself:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The first Monday in September was made a national holiday on June 28, 1894, as a tribute to the social and economic achievements of American workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">San Francisco, no surprise, played a pivotal role in our country's labor history. On May 9, 1934, the International Longshoremen's Association led a strike for better pay and better hours. They were later joined by other workers; the picketing grew and intensified. On July 16 the strike spread throughout the city, and became known as the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_West_Coast_waterfront_strike\">San Francisco General Strike\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The mass protest continued over four consecutive days. Two strikers died and one was wounded in a confrontation with police on “Bloody Thursday,” when hundreds of others were clubbed and gassed. The ensuing attention from the public and government officials had an impact, as the following year, the National Labor Relations Board was created, protecting the right of workers to organize into labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109407\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/08/29/109172/labor-strikes-protest-Bay-Area-San-Francisco/1934strike/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-109407\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109407\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/1934strike-e1377905285172.jpg\" alt=\"Scene from the 1934 dock strike in San Francisco.

Doth we protest too much?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“When it comes to the number of strikes, the overall numbers have been declining for years,” says Kim Voss, professor of sociology at UC Berkeley, by email, referring to\u003ca href=\"http://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkstp.t01.htm\"> national figures\u003c/a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Voss notes that in recent decades number of strikes and lockouts have been “very low” compared with the 1950s, ‘60s and '70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">However, Fred Glass, on the faculty of the Labor and Community Studies Department at San Francisco City College and communications director for the California Federation of Teachers, says that may be changing in the Bay Area, particularly as workers and unions see the impact of direct action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“There is a spike of militancy that is occurring in the Bay Area,” Glass says. “Part of it is coincidental, because of contracts that are coming due and the actions of workers who support their contract negotiators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“But more importantly, there is a renewed willingness to use direct action. After a decline of those kinds of actions and seeing what it has brought workers - very little - there is a new willingness to engage. The Occupy movement reminded the unions that direct action is important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers are being moved to action, Glass says, because their share of the economy is declining. “In the period of prosperity this country enjoyed from post World War II up to the 1980s, a rising tide lifted all boats and the employing class prospered by innovating and sharing wealth with the workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are now in a period where the employing class’ share of income has been increasing at the expense of the working people.” Instead of lifting all boats, Glass says, \"the employing class wants the waterfall, and the workers get the puddle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Happy Labor Day, everyone.

On May 9, 1934, the International Longshoremen's Association led a strike for better pay and better hours. They were later joined by other workers; the picketing grew and intensified. On July 16 the strike spread throughout the city, and became known as the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_West_Coast_waterfront_strike\">San Francisco General Strike\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The mass protest continued over four consecutive days. Two strikers died and one was wounded in a confrontation with police on “Bloody Thursday,” when hundreds of others were clubbed and gassed. The ensuing attention from the public and government officials had an impact, as the following year, the National Labor Relations Board was created, protecting the right of workers to organize into labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109407\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/08/29/109172/labor-strikes-protest-Bay-Area-San-Francisco/1934strike/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-109407\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109407\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/08/1934strike-e1377905285172.jpg\" alt=\"Scene from the 1934 dock strike in San Francisco.

Voss notes that in recent decades number of strikes and lockouts have been “very low” compared with the 1950s, ‘60s and '70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">However, Fred Glass, on the faculty of the Labor and Community Studies Department at San Francisco City College and communications director for the California Federation of Teachers, says that may be changing in the Bay Area, particularly as workers and unions see the impact of direct action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“There is a spike of militancy that is occurring in the Bay Area,” Glass says. “Part of it is coincidental, because of contracts that are coming due and the actions of workers who support their contract negotiators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“But more importantly, there is a renewed willingness to use direct action. After a decline of those kinds of actions and seeing what it has brought workers - very little - there is a new willingness to engage. The Occupy movement reminded the unions that direct action is important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers are being moved to action, Glass says, because their share of the economy is declining. “In the period of prosperity this country enjoyed from post World War II up to the 1980s, a rising tide lifted all boats and the employing class prospered by innovating and sharing wealth with the workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are now in a period where the employing class’ share of income has been increasing at the expense of the working people.” Instead of lifting all boats, Glass says, \"the employing class wants the waterfall, and the workers get the puddle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Happy Labor Day, everyone.

After Hatch was quoted Sunday in The Salt Lake Tribune saying immigration reform couldn't wait, a message went out to call his office with thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gabriel Villalobos, a Spanish-language talk radio host in Phoenix, said many of his callers believe it is the wrong time for marches, fearful that that any unrest could sour public opinion on immigration reform. Those callers advocate instead for a low-key approach of calling members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The mood is much calmer,\" said Villalobos, who thinks the marches are still an important show of political force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salas, whose group is known as CHIRLA, dates the May Day rallies to a labor dispute with a restaurant in the city's Koreatown neighborhood that drew several hundred demonstrators in 2000. Crowds grew each year until the House of Representatives passed a tough bill against illegal immigration, sparking a wave of enormous, angry protests from coast to coast in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rallies, which coincide with Labor Day in many countries outside the U.S., often have big showings from labor leaders and elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonstrators marched in countries around the world, with fury in Europe over austerity measures and rage in Asia over relentlessly low pay, the rising cost of living and hideous working conditions that have left hundreds dead in recent months alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The New York crowd was a varied bunch of labor groups, immigrant activists and demonstrators unaffiliated with any specific cause.

Reform Immigration for America, a network of groups, claims more than 1.2 million subscribers, including recipients of text messages and Facebook followers. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A phone blitz targeting Republican U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch produced 100 calls a day to the Utah lawmaker's office last week, said Jeff Parcher, communications director for the Center for Community Change, which works on technology-driven advocacy for the network of groups. After Hatch was quoted Sunday in The Salt Lake Tribune saying immigration reform couldn't wait, a message went out to call his office with thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gabriel Villalobos, a Spanish-language talk radio host in Phoenix, said many of his callers believe it is the wrong time for marches, fearful that that any unrest could sour public opinion on immigration reform. Those callers advocate instead for a low-key approach of calling members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The mood is much calmer,\" said Villalobos, who thinks the marches are still an important show of political force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salas, whose group is known as CHIRLA, dates the May Day rallies to a labor dispute with a restaurant in the city's Koreatown neighborhood that drew several hundred demonstrators in 2000. Crowds grew each year until the House of Representatives passed a tough bill against illegal immigration, sparking a wave of enormous, angry protests from coast to coast in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rallies, which coincide with Labor Day in many countries outside the U.S., often have big showings from labor leaders and elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonstrators marched in countries around the world, with fury in Europe over austerity measures and rage in Asia over relentlessly low pay, the rising cost of living and hideous working conditions that have left hundreds dead in recent months alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The New York crowd was a varied bunch of labor groups, immigrant activists and demonstrators unaffiliated with any specific cause. Among them was 26-year-old Becky Wartell, who was carrying a tall puppet of the Statue of Liberty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every May Day, more groups that have historically considered themselves separate from one another come together,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in recent years, May 1, 2013 brings demonstrations by activists calling for immigration reform around the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year the protests will focus on making it easier for immigrants to become citizens, and on ending deportation for people who are already partially eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For too long, immigrant workers have been forced into the shadows,\" said California Labor Federation Executive Secretary-Treasurer Art Pulaski in a media release. \"The more than 2 million aspiring Americans in California deserve comprehensive immigration reform that provides a clear and expedient roadmap to citizenship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some California events organized by the federation ....:\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"cali\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Anaheim\u003cbr>\n11am: March from Anaheim City Hall (2005 So.

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
