Berkeley Police get slammed by professors for posting ANTIFA protestors mugshots online

[Bald1]

They look exactly like what I thought they would look like

Yup. Kristens mole game is off the chain.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Do they normally post mugshots? I think it’s common and standard practice. I see mugshots all the time in my local news

If Berkley typically doesn’t for whatever reason, and in this specific case did, then there could be an issue. But if it’s just standard practice and those entitled fools are whining about the same laws being applied to them then suck it

 

[HockeyBjj]

Lol, they look exactly like you'd expect them to look.

Whiter than a kkk rally? Lol

 

[Islam Imamate]

Damn, those top 3 three are a lot older than I imagine your usual Antifa protestors. Anyway, if its standard procedure I can't blame the PD for doing it but on some level I get the reservations over the practice.

I get why they have a problem with it, these are political protestors and in this charged environment there's a reasonable fear of reprisals. But it seems this is standard procedure so the PD was probably doing it as part of their routine in dealing with suspects.

 

[DIDM]

There’s newspapers that their whole gig is mugshots and crime stories

Fuck Antifa

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

Do you think it was wrong for the Police to post the mugshots of the Antifa protestors, many of them were covered up and wanted to remain anonymous some professors believe the Berkely PD doing this was very wrong and they shouldn't have posted the images on the net of the protestors who are basically anti-fascism and were protesting the alt right groups are now in Danger since their public image is posted online.

Several California professors slammed the Berkeley Police Department after it posted the mugshots of Antifa protesters arrested Sunday at a rally where windows were smashed, citizens were punched and "dozens of weapons" were confiscated by cops.

Berkeley cops said Sunday that 20 people were arrested demonstrating against a rally organized by so-called "alt-right" groups. The mugshots of those arrested, their names and what they were arrested for allegedly doing was posted to the BPD's Twitter account -- a practice that is not unusual. The mugshots were posted before the protesters were formally charged. The department told The Guardian on Monday that the protesters' cases were not brought before prosecutors.

Veena Dubal, a law professor at the University of California, said she found it “disturbing” that the police department would post the mugshots and risk the possibility of putting the demonstrators in danger.

“This is very disturbing,” Dubal told The Guardian. “It seems like a public-shaming exercise, which is not the role of the police department...They are making it really accessible for folks who might wish these people harm to locate them.”

BERKELEY POLICE ARREST 20, SEIZE 'DOZENS OF WEAPONS' AT OPPOSING PROTESTS

Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín said the police “did a very good job” handling the rally. But he said he spoke to police about the posting of mugshots on social media.

“We need to look into this and discuss whether this is an appropriate practice going forward,” Arreguín said.

The Sunday protest began after two groups of "alt-right" protesters announced plans for a "No to Marxism" rally at the city's Civic Center Park earlier in the week. That prompted plans for a "Sweep Out The Fascists" march and counter-rally that drew hundreds of people downtown.

Officials said three people suffered minor injuries after a group of "extremists" threw "explosives" -- believed to be fireworks and flares -- at police and Alameda County Sheriff's officers. No members of law enforcement were hurt.

Berkeley police also said that "an extremist element among a large group" damaged 21 city vehicles, setting one on fire, and slashed their tires. The group also set fires in trash bins, which were extinguished quickly.

Videos taken during the protest also showed masked Antifa protesters smashing the windows of a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office and another demonstrator sucker-punching someone.

But Jay Kim, the executive director of the National Lawyers Guild local chapter, said he felt police were targeting “anti-fascist protesters.”

“It really seemed to us like the Berkeley police department was there to…target the anti-fascist protesters,” Kim said.

Kim said about 21 people contacted the NLG regarding the arrests, claiming the “vast majority” arrested were anti-fascist protesters.

Byron White, a spokesman for the Berkeley Police Department, defended the release of the mugshots
People are coming from out of town and bringing weapons and are committed to violence…We don’t want people to be able to do that with anonymity,” White said.

They look like the broken biscuit tin of humanity. What a mess.

 

[lilelvis]

First question is what other mugshots are posted online?
If they are only posting antifa they could have a problem.

Well, were there any arrests of the people on the permitted side of the event?

 

[Thrawn33]

Seems like something the community should decide since they're the ones who live with the consequences. There doesn't seem to be a privacy issue and I doubt people will be targeted for it. I wouldn't put up mugshots of people arrested for failing to disperse or whatever, but for weapons charges and vandalism? Seems okay.

An arrest is public record, we as society should want transparency on arrests and mugshots to know what the state is doing....

....and judge the dumb fucks who get arrested for stupid shit.

Play stupid games....

Mugshots are public record in every state except Louisiana. You'd think a fucking a law professor and a goddamn mayor would know that.

Swear to god, the ability that some morons seem have to succeed is one of the great scientific mysteries or our time.

 

[HereticBD]

Makes you wonder why the professors care so much.

 

[TidWell]

Makes you wonder why the professors care so much.

Could be they partake in such actions themselves? remember this little coward Professor Eric Clanton who was hitting people in the head with bike locks while hiding his face with a mask?

He hit a peaceful protestor on his knees and ran, the guy was gushing blood

 

[lifelessheap]

Makes you wonder why the professors care so much.

Well some professors have been caught hitting people with weapons. lol. Fuck all these scumbags.

 

[kahiljabroni]

1st...who gives a rats dick what these professors want.

2nd....it always amazes me how these scrubs assault anyone. I'm no badass but I'd mop the floor with all of them simultaneously.

 

[Brodels]

Where I'm from the post everyone's online and in the city my parents live in and I grew up in there is something called a "Jail Report". It was a little magazine with all the mugshots from the week. They would caption some and highlight certain ones. Repeat offenders usually got their own page so you got to see them progress through the years and turn into complete shit.

 

[Scrody]

Kind of forfeited any privacy rights when you were unmasked and taken into custody.
Antifa shook as hell.

 

[n...not crazy]

Not diverse enough. I am offended.

"Do you think it was wrong for the Police to post the mugshots of the Antifa protestors"

Uhh...HELL FUCKING NO!!!

I am very HAPPY they posted who these actual fucks looked like.

They committed ASSAULT and thought they would be able to hide behind a mask.

Thank god, the Berkely PD decided to give ANTIFA and their thugs a big UP YOURS with this.


Oh and :

"Veena Dubal, a law professor at the University of California, said she found it “disturbing” that the police department would post the mugshots and risk the possibility of putting the demonstrators in danger. "

GOOD. FUCK 'EM!!

 

[Throwin Bombs]

Berkely professor afraid of being exposed for the pieces of trash they are committing crimes behind a mask. Guess what doctorate degree idiots, its public record. Anyone can find out who you are!

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

They post em all.

 

[ocean size]

You can buy a magazine at my local 7-11 that is mugshots of people arrested in Orange County, FL. I think it is like a buck, looks like a newspaper and it comes out once a week. I see it all the time, while waiting in line, but have never bought it.
You can pull up mugshots for free at the jails website. I had to bail a friend out about 2 years ago.
Everyone else mug shot is posted, why not Antifa.
BTW what the hell is a 69 year old lady doing at a protest with a weapon.

lol I would love to see who buys the weekly mugshot newspaper. Then again it is Florida, it probably reads like satire.
