DESCRIPTION:Special Meeting of Berkeley Police Review Commission to present and discuss 
 the People’s Investigation of the In-Custody Death of Kayla Moore\n\nThe 
 City of Berkeley Police Review Commission (PRC) will hold a Special Meeting 
 to receive a presentation of the People's Investigation Report and to hear 
 from the public their concerns about what went wrong when Kayla Moore died 
 in police custody on February 13, 2013. Berkeley Copwatch and friends have 
 collected enough signatures on a petition to force the PRC to have to hold 
 this special meeting.\n\nThe People’s Investigation has identified a 
 number of city policies and BPD officers as having both played a role in 
 the death of Kayla Moore and is eager to present these findings so that the 
 people of this city can begin the work of healing. We are also eager to 
 hear comments from the public related to the incident, the People’s 
 Investigation or the use of police in the field of mental health care. The 
 People's Investigation Report is a thoroughly documented review of the 
 documents, witness statements, dispatch records, police policies and 
 trainings and other sources of information related to Moore's in-custody 
 death in her own home.\n\nThe entire report is available on the 
 www.berkeleycopwatch.org site or can be linked 
 here:\n\nhttp://berkeleycopwatch.org/resource/Peoples_Investigation_Kayla_Moore_2013.pdf\n\nSome 
 highlights of the report include:\n\n* According to the police report, 
 officers falsely arrested Kayla Moore in her own home.\n\n* Up to six 
 officers escalated the situation and restrained her with most of them using 
 their full weight and strength though she was face down on a futon.\n\n* 
 The coroner’s report claims she died of “drug toxicity” but she was 
 fully functional when she encountered police and stopped breathing after 
 police arrived at her home.\n\n* Emergency Mental Heath services have been 
 cut more than 50% and officers and officers without Crisis Intervention 
 Training are now responding to most mental health emergencies in 
 Berkeley.\n\n* BPD officers are using hoods on mentally ill people despite 
 dangers of asphyxiation\n\n* Mentally ill people are four times as likely 
 to die in confrontations with police than general public (Ashby and 
 Ellis).\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/10/20/18745126.php
