DESCRIPTION:Join us for the San Francisco theatrical premiere of Killing Them Safely, 
 an explosive 2015 Tribeca Film Festival documentary selection on the 
 controversy over police use and misuse of Tasers.\n\nFollowing the 
 screening, stay for an important discussion featuring filmmaker, Nick 
 Berardini, and San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi about the film and 
 its implications for the upcoming decision of the San Francisco Police 
 Commission to possibly start outfitting SFPD officers with 
 Tasers.\n\nHundreds of deaths. Zero oversight. In the early 2000s, brothers 
 Tom and Rick Smith revolutionized policing by marketing the Taser to law 
 enforcement agencies. This supposedly safe alternative to handguns was 
 supposed to curb the use of deadly force—so why have over 500 people died 
 from Taser-related injuries since? At a time when questions about police 
 methods are at the forefront of the national dialogue, Killing Them Safely 
 brings together startling archival footage and eye-opening interviews with 
 experts on both sides of the debate to shed much-needed light on an urgent 
 issue.\n\nCo-sponsored by ACLU of Northern California, San Francisco Public 
 Defender’s Racial Justice Committee, Coalition on Homelessness, Asian 
 Americans Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus, National Lawyers Guild SF Bay 
 Area Chapter, 48 Hills.\n
