The city of Berkeley is going to
100% stop traffic enforcement with their police department, because
"too many motorists are being killed" in traffic stops.
They are
instead going to create an unarmed, non-office traffic enforcement
department to do this work.
It isn't real clear what the legal
authority of a non-police officer is to make a traffic stop or demand
the driver produce his drivers license. With my reading of the CA penal
code and motor vehicle code that authority is zero.
EDITOR'S NOTE: BLM is winning the war! This absolutely absurd. But then that's Berkeley.

The basis of the city coming up with this insanity was that there was a racial disparity between the percentage of the black population in Berkeley, which is 10 percent, and the percentage of black drivers who were stopped, which is over 10 percent.
The idiot city counsel is convinced that this is evidence of racism. A couple of years ago, there were three homicides in Berkeley and all of the people arrested were black. Why don’t we stop investigating murders and let Cat Brooks of the local Black Lives Matter chapter take care of that? After all, it must be evidence of “systematic racism”
It is further important to note that the last time Berkeley had a fatal officer involved shooting was in 2010. In that instance, a young man opened fire on two officers, he missed, they didn’t. Unfortunately, in extreme liberalism, facts don’t matter.
