Berkeley Copwatch, an organization formed in 1990 with the intention to “empower and unite the community to resist police abuse” through education and supervision, hosted a virtual forum Wednesday highlighting five events of alleged racist policing in Berkeley during the pandemic. 

Berkeley Copwatch is questioning an incident between the Berkeley Police Department and a suspect after five officers surrounded the suspect and shot him with a less-lethal foam baton round, according to a video provided by Berkeley Copwatch.
