Berkeley Police Department is asking the city for permission to use pepper spray ahead of conservative writer Ben Shapiro’s speech and Milo Yiannopoulos’s Free Speech Week at UC Berkeley.
According to a report BPD Chief Andrew Greenwood submitted to City Council, the council established an interim policy for BPD’s use of pepper spray in 1997. The policy, called General Order U-2, stated that BPD will not use pepper spray for crowd control situations. In the report, however, Greenwood requested that the policy be changed.

live ammo will stop this law breaking group in its tracks.
being an ex-flower child of the 1960s, I am familiar with the Berkley Police. When told to disperse, you did it or got tear gassed, beaten about the head and shoulders with a baton, and arrested. This pansy liberal police force, mayor, and city council need to get their heads out of each other’s butts and off each other’s genitals.
Letting a bunch of snoots riot and control the town is abdicating its responsibility to public safety. A group that can do anything they want is a direct danger to public safety.
liberals do not create a safe and secure environment to live in. The create hate, violence, and lack of safety.
Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín ( el pendejo grande y chupador) wants Cal to cancel a planned appearance by conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. This piece of racist needs to be removed from office. His job is protecting the laws of the land not violating them
Thing is, FOR YEARS hi and his fellow libtard mayors have been getting away with violating the rule of law.. AND I see no end in sight to that.. All cause it seems we have a weak willed AG who seems to be INCAPABLE of doing what is needed, and send in the Federal marshals to arrest each and everyone of these law breaking mayors..
The chief of police has to ask the city council if he can use pepper spray? Wonder what the toilet paper situation in the local cop shop is? This is like that a–hole Lyndon Johnson running the Vietnam war from the Offal Orifice. The local cops need to apply a little reason on the jack booted ANTIFA thugs via Dillon M134 logic. Skip the pepper spray and go to a permanent solution.
And since Unis often have their own campus security, why should THEY need to ask the city “Can we please use a lawful law enforcement tool??
