Picked. It was a high profile criminal trial. Talking about the american duty to serve. Have you ever done jury duty. I have. Although i wasnt picked at the final i went through the process but never made it to the final cut. I made it into the courtroom and peppered with questions it was a homicide case and i knew a little bit about it. They said stop. Stop. Youre done. That was as close as i got. A couple of people said it was on their bucket list, serving on jury duty. I didnt make it this time. Death and taxes are two certain things in life. We will be looking at the president s tax reform measure to be released very soon. Also here at home in the south bay were reporting on an assault near san jose state university. A group of women attacked another woman. Bart back in the news discussing about what to do about fare cheats, people who jump over the gates. Were going to continue our coverage about ann coulters scheduled speech tomorrow in berkeley. The New York Times at this point is reporting that the conservative commentator is hipting she may cancel the event. She told the newspaper, quote, it is a sad day for free speech. She also added that everyone who everyone who should support free speech opposed her visit coming to cal. A Student Group that invited her had announced she would appear tomorrow afternoon at 2 00. Coulter herself tweeted last night that she hoped the university would provide an appropriate room for her event. As we have been reporting, theres been a lot of concern about violent protests breaking out. Local authorities have been criticized for not doing enough to intervene in prior incidents. There will always be somebody who thinks you should have used more force and those who thought you used too much. At this point were focused on specifically targeting those people who are up to no good. Uc Berkeley Police were criticized in february for allowing a demonstration against a planned speech on campus by conservative do menta tore Milo Yiannopoulos to get out of hand. Berkeley Police Officers were accused of standing on the side lins as protesters fought one another during dualing rallies in Downtown Berkeley earlier this month. Another group that invited coulter said it was no longer involved with the appearance due to security concerns. They cited a lack of assurances for protections from foreseeable violence from unrestrained leftist agitators. Are you going to hear her speak . Yes, to protest. Or no, steering clear. Looking at the poll results. 16 say yes going to hear her speak. Just 6 saying yes youre going to protest. The vast majority, 78 say no, i am steering clear of the cal campus. I will be there to make sure that free speech is upheld. I dont care for ann or what she has to say but i fight for her right to say it. The home of the Free Speech Movement needs to recall its past and allow venues for opposing speech. Another person says not going with all of the crazy people who think that free speech thinks it means it is okay to spew hate. We will talk about this more in a minute. We will have more responses at 9 30. Right now we are joined this morning in the studio by becky City Council Memo owe Berkeley City Council member. Do you think that ann coulter should be able to speak tomorrow. I think that ann coulter and any conservative speaker who wants to come to berkeley. We are home of the Free Speech Movement. That is important that it means free speech for all. Is it disconcerting from University Officials to say we cant find the appropriate location until next month . Do you think they should make somewhere on campus in a building for her to speak . Well, the university proposed a oneweek delay. I know that the city and the university are both working very closely together with our police department, our parks, our public works. It is a multi, you know, departmental effort from both jurisdictions to do everything that we can to keep speakers safe and protesters safe, to keep the bystanders safe. Chris, last time why did it seem as if the police from both uc berkeley and also berkeley stood by and allowed all of that violence to happen . We were just kind of watching as the people, you know, pushed stuff into the building, set things on fire. I mean attacked each other. Right. The man caught on tape punching a woman has not been arrested. What will it take for police to actually move in and stop this . Well, i think berkeley has a long tradition of one side coming to protest. We sort of know how to deal with those. Having competing protests in which some participants are violent from two different factions is a new situation in berkeley. Were grappling with what are the most effective tools and tactics to use. I think we need to embrace technology and use tools to capture who is doing the violence, to intervene. We need to protect the public and we need to protect the police. We cant just throw the police out there and someone said why dont have you one line of police in between the two competing Violent Groups. Well, which side are those police supposed to be facing. Arent police trained to do just that . Arent they trained to perform certain lines and positions and deal with whatever comes after it . I think we are increasing the amount of training that we provide for the police and were exploring new tactics. During the most recent round, i think we did better than the one before. Uhhuh. In that they were able to confiscate objects that people could use as weapons to beat each other up. I think we need to expand that beyond just in the park. Take it away from people in a broader area. In and around the protests. So i think were evolving and learning how to respond effectively. You said in regard to the recent protest that turned violent and destructive, you said the police were excellent in multiple categories. Some people find it hard to see violence and say anything about that situation is good. Where the police were most effective last time was in the park itself. So they they set up a fence that kept the two sides at a distance most of the time. They conness indicated dozens of weapon confiscated dozens of weapons. So they were beating each other with fists. Youre talking about the potential for more violence and destruction. They prevented mostly all violence from happening in the park. Where it became more complicated is when the different factions are marching in the streets and you just dont have two. You have the anonymous so called antifacists who are dressed up to the funeral of facism. Are you going to be out there tomorrow . That is our question of the day. Asking if people will show up. I plan to be there as an observer and trying to monitor and look at what are we doing that is effective and what can we do to be more effective. Have you talked to the chief of bliss for the city . Is there a plan to help uc Berkeley Police. Because the plano owe the partially planned event is on campus, uc police are the primary lead. Our police are organizing actively to be ready to assist the University Police department. Or if it spills on to your city streets. Yeah. And so we are both working together so that they will help us when it is in the city streets and we will help them when it is on campus. Thank you, chris.
