DESCRIPTION:The SCPD has still not responded to concerns about racial and class 
 profiling by Officer Bradly Barnett and videoed concerns that Officer Bill 
 Azua is selectively ticketing African-Americans in downtown Santa Cruz for 
 trivial offenses.  It has not released specific reports on its use of 
 tasers, batons, choke holds, pain compliance holds, and drawn weapons as 
 requested in Public Records Act requests.  It continues to militarize the 
 department through acquisition of surveillance and armored vehicle 
 acquisition without meaningful public input or debate.  Instances of 
 documented officer abuse of homeless people such as Officer Vasquez's 
 sidewalk smash of Richard Hardy remain unredressed.  HUFF (Homeless United 
 for Friendship & Freedom) calls for an active and diverse protest Wednesday 
 December 17th at 2 PM at Laurel and Center Streets.\n\nPlease distribute 
 this flyer widely and come on down on Wednesday--or start your own 
 protest!\n\nFurther Information: \n\nVasquez's Hardy Take-down:
