Bathrobespierre’s Broadsides Today at 6 PM features a FLASHBACK show to January 2003

As well as stirring memories of yesteryear, the show features a long interview with the last (and well-intended) chair–Mark Halfmoon–of the Santa Cruz Citizen’s Police Review Board right after it was decapitated by the Mathews-Rotkin City Council.


This destruction of the CPRB was done, I’m thinking, to eliminate any public discussion of the Selective Enforcement issue involving harassment of poor people and musicians on Pacific Avenue under the newly-expanded Downtown Ordinances (making almost all the space illegal to table or play or vend in).   The matter excited significant public anger and had passed the Board.  It was supposed to reach the City Council agenda, but that was frustrated by then-Mayor Emily Reilly who improperly blocked it.  Reilly is the same woman who now runs Emily’s Good Things to Eat, a bakery at Laurel and Mission.  She was elected as a “progressive” and progressed to destroy even the weak board overseeing the SCPD.

HUFFsters & Freedom Sleeper Supporters:  I’m resending a slightly updated version of an earlier e-mail which initially had the wrong web address to hear the 12-13 Forum featuring Aguirre, McHenry, and Baumann.  The correct address ishttp://www.radiolibre.org/brb/brb151220.mp3 (2 hours and 13 minutes into the file).      The link for the Community TV show featuring me, Aguirre, Baumann, and Pleich can be found below.
