Police in Berkeley are either subverted or being held down for fear of losing their jobs. Berkeley city government has been corrupt for fucking ever, but this new spic mayor is a piece of work. Totally in with BAMN which is basically a terror organization founded by kiddy-diddlers from NAMBLA. Not even exaggerating, it's pretty sick. There are archive threads about this connection from the last couple of weeks.FYI, a former Berkeley police captain is now chief of police in Benicia (outer fringe of Bay Area, near Napa.) If there are any Beniciafags on here, or from nearby, who have police connections you might see what you can find out. I knew him peripherally a few years ago through work. He despises Berkeley and was very happy to GTFO. Probably does not wish to be drawn into Berkeley shit again but if serious malfeasance is going on...maybe. I'm pretty sure that would be one of the main reasons why he ran like hell when the opportunity presented itself; he's a straight-up guy.A lot of cops have big families to support--traditional ones, their wives aren't necessarily breadwinners too--so it is easy to get a hold over them by threatening their livelihood.
