DESCRIPTION:BROKEN JUSTICE\nRethinking Our Cops and Courts\n\nA conversation with 
 LaDoris Cordell,\nSuperior Court Judge, Retired\nIndependent Police Auditor 
 for San Jose, Retired\n\nFollowing numerous high-profile cases of police 
 killings of unarmed African American and Latino civilians, public 
 confidence in law enforcement is clearly in crisis. California is not 
 immune. Suggestions have been made — and rather widely supported — to 
 require police to wear body cameras. But is that a sufficient response to 
 deeply endemic problems? What else can be done?\n\nAt this month’s Other 
 Voices forum, we’ll examine some other ideas.\n\nAt the urging of San 
 Jose’s Independent Police Auditor, Judge LaDoris Cordell, the department 
 there started collecting basic demographic data about every police stop 
 made, regardless of whether an arrest was made or not. An initial analysis 
 of the data shows results that, while perhaps not surprising, are 
 nevertheless alarming. Although black and Latino residents are a third of 
 San Jose’s population, they comprise almost two-thirds of the individuals 
 stopped in 2014.\n\nJudge Cordell and legislators in Sacramento are urging 
 all police departments in the state to compile data in the way San Jose has 
 started doing. A bill recently introduced in the legislature would require 
 them to do so.\n\nJoin us for this timely conversation with someone who has 
 a true inside perspective and expertise on the urgent need for police and 
 court reforms. Come prepared to join the conversation with your questions 
 and suggestions.\n\nFree and open to all. Wheelchair accessible.\n
