DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC FORUM:\n\nSHOULD BERKELEY POLICE USE TASERS ON THE PEOPLE OF 
 BERKELEY?\n\n\nThursday September 4th at 7pm\n\n1939 Addison St, Berkeley, 
 CA 94704\n(two blocks from BART)\n\n\nBerkeley Police are asking the City 
 Council for tasers. The City Council wants a study. Some critics believe 
 that tasers are part of the militarization of our city. The Coalition for a 
 Taser Free Berkeley is convening a diverse panel to discuss their 
 experiences with tasers and to help Berkeley make an informed decision 
 about whether to acquire the weapons. We invite members of the public, city 
 employees and even police officers who are genuinely concerned about how 
 tasers will affect the community to attend, ask questions and 
 participate.\n\n\nPanelists include:\n\n     Aram James, Activist and 
 former Public Defender Palo Alto\n\n    Barbara Ann White, Berkeley NAACP 
 Vice President and Community Mental Health Professional\n\n    James 
 Chanin. Founding member of the Police Review Commission, Civil Rights 
 lawyer\n\n    Jeremy Miller, Program Director, Idriss Stelley Foundation, 
 Co-organizer of the successful campaign to stop San Francisco from getting 
 tasers\n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. It is wheelchair 
 accessible.\n\nSponsored by Coalition for a Taser Free
