Sgt. Darren Kacalek, who heads the Berkeley police union, is on leave since being accused by a former police officer of establishing “illegal” arrest quotas and racist texts

A Berkeley police bike officer who was fired after intentionally colliding with a car, according to sources familiar with the crash, has brought forward new claims about "unethical and illegal" practices he says were prevalent in his unit.

In his email, Shedoudy claimed the bike unit had "arrest quotas of downtown unhoused" and used "questionable legal tactics"

Berkeley police were in an uproar Thursday after leaked text messages allegedly showing the president of the police officers’ union making racist remarks and demanding arrest quotas.

Nearly 35% of Berkeley’s police stops last year were by blacks, despite only 8% of the city being black according to the census.

I just posted 3 days ago how LAPD had to back off their abusive methods because they clearly were blatantly racist: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/11/i-just-learned-that-lapd-has-director.html
