DESCRIPTION:For those who have suffered and don't want to suffer again the experience 
 or the sight of over-policing, racial and class profiling, militarization, 
 abusive threats and use of force downtown and elsewhere in town--\n\nFor 
 those who want to show solidarity with the national movement against police 
 brutality generally.\n\nFor those who are tired of the passivity and 
 silence of local organizations who receive complaints, but do 
 nothing.\n\nThis is the 4th in a series of public protests demanding 
 radical reform in the Santa Cruz Police Department and calling the 
 community to speak out about the encounters they've had with the armed and 
 uniformed "protect and serve"--ers of Santa Cruz.\n\nThe SCPD has still not 
 made available the racial ticketing record of Officer Bill Azua, as 
 repeatedly requested under the Public Records Act   Though required by law, 
 Azua's arrest and citation record has been stripped of any information 
 regarding the race of those he cited.\n\nIt took months to get the record 
 of Officer Bradly Barnett.  When we looked it over, we found he was citing 
 African-Americans at 7 times their rate in the population.  (See Barnett's 
 complete record of Racial Citations at 
 http://www.indybay.org/uploads/2014/10/21/barnett_cites_including_race.pdf 
 )\n\nAn earlier protest on December 17 made this same demand along with 
 other long-standing concerns.   Like letting the public know which officers 
 have been using tasers, choke-holds (allowed in Santa Cruz, banned in New 
 York City), pain compliance holds, weapon draws, baton strikes, and so 
 forth.\nSee "Keeping Up the Pressure: Wednesday Protest at Cop Corner " at
