DESCRIPTION:The Berkeley Police Department's (BPD) plan for an Armored Vehicle funded 
 by Homeland Security (DHS) has been quashed; But, as long as our local 
 police departments have an agreement with the DHS for UASI (Urban Areas 
 Security Initiative) Urban Warfare training and equipment funds, what's to 
 stop them for applying for unmanned Spy Drones, insect size or larger? This 
 would ensure non-violent demonstrations don't penetrate restricted non-free 
 speech zones, don't get too close to candidates of our "two party" system, 
 or besmirch private property.\n \nBerkeley Police Department agreements 
 with Homeland Security, the UASI program, and with FBI's Suspicious 
 Activity Reporting to the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center 
 (NCRIC) are on the City Council's agenda for their Tuesday 9/18/12 
 meeting.\n \nAlso to be considered are Mutual Aid Pacts with other PD 
 jurisdictions. Should we exchange mutual aid with police departments that 
 have used brutal tactics, like the brain damaging bean bag that put Veteran 
 Scott Olsen in a coma, or the pepper spraying and clubbing of UC students 
 exercising non-violent civil disobedience? Should the City of Berkeley hold 
 undocumented immigrants beyond their release date for ICE because they have 
 served time for a felony five or ten years ago? We say NO! And cut ties 
 with UASI and NCRIC.\n \nPlease attend the Berkeley City Council meeting on 
 September 18, 2012 at 7pm and express your views.\n\n
