[@rockinrondogg]

Defund the police, let all the prisoners out, etc. This is what all the students were protesting for. What did they expect was going to happen.

[@oscaryllangarza9860]

To be honest the police in Cal just cash their checks and actually don’t help almost nothing to keeping the area safe. They don’t do rounds and if you call them they will arrive 20 mins late when they can arrive in 2 min. Obviously police needs money but specifically talking about UC Berkeley PD needs to actually do their job much better. The money they receive is not proportional to their actual job imo.

Actually the students there are oblivious to their surroundings.. always have their ear-buds or headphones on and staring at their screens never looking around, hell they just walk into crosswalks without looking even when the lights are green packs of them just walk anyways.. the students are ridiculously unaware of anything around them. The police uc police department does a lot more than people think, just because when the random encounters happen and the police aren't there doesn't mean they aren't doing their jobs.. unfortunately Berkeley campus is an open campus and it leaves to dozens of random events.

[@Purple_911]

You're absolutely right I just left Berkeley area right off University Avenue I went to the goodwill and to the Ace Hardware and people were just not paying attention it was so annoying they just walked into the street and they checked like halfway across the street for cars coming instead of at the sidewalk

[@emazaxiix5177]

blaming people getting shanked and robbed on campus.. on the fact that they have their airbuds in. as if them not having that would’ve changed the outcome? the hate fort californians is so strong it allows you to victim blame most likely out of state students who just want an education. that’s insane

[@hopelovey7133]

A police force is needed to maintain order in society. However, people do not need to be subject to police brutality. Defending mean hiring other professionals to deal with non-criminal matters that the police were not trained to deal with

[@pandacub6164]

I wonder if the students at UC Berkley took part in defunding the police movement?

[@malcriadamedina5358]

The police department in Berkeley has never been defunded or in any other city for that matter.

[@SuperJK-Man]

@@malcriadamedina5358 Several cities have been defunded. Go get arrested in SF (if you can), and try to do jail time. It’s no longer the Holiday Inn like how it was prior to the pandemic. Lots of the free time, yoga, acupuncture and more has been taken away due to the lack of funding. It’s no joke. Going to jail is a bit barbaric.

[@BelovedfriendLSB]

problem is its gotten impossible to know for sure who is and who isnt safe oftentimes predatorial traffikers disguise themselves as private security details just as much as corrupt police officers and the point is anywhere that supplies "warm bodies" for traffikers is gonna be targeted and thats why the lady at the 2 twenty three time area says "Im not sure police are the best response to these issues" thats what she means - democracy and abuse of freedoms has got us to where we are now

[@audreys9770]

USC is where downtown LA meets the hood. After 2 students got killed some years back sitting in a BWW at night, they started not allowing non-students on campus after 8pm. They can do that b/c their campus is more compact & private. They also don't let the public enter their libraries at any time like they used to. A lot of it is just attitude. UC students/parents have the attitude they're getting a world class education for cheap so they can't rock the boat. USC students/parents pay $60k a year & make demands.

[@nuancescrublord5858]

hella students at Cal are also paying 60k lmao 😭😭

It is a crying shame, top tier university like UC Berkeley is in the middle of a dangerous area!! Just take a walk around the university and you see crazies running around, people with needle marks on their arms and legs, people sleeping in the street, and of course, the smell of marijuana. With this situation, I would expect crime to be on the rise. The city and the school should address the reason and work on a solution. Adding more security is just a band aid.

[@brianlevine249]

This university is very much to blame for their security concerns. UC Berkeley supports the policies that cause this. You think the professors, student body, and administrators want more police on campus? They are very much front and center on the disband the police movement.
