Less than 72 hours after BPD shut down the Chess Club (a community mainstay on Telegraph Ave), the organizer Jessie Sheehan was brutally arrested. For hours, he was disappeared into the system, tortured, abandoned at a hospital in Pleasanton, and then cited and released.
In this video, Jessie is being lifted by his wrists after having sustained injuries from being assaulted.

#Berkeley faces a mental healthcare gap. Crises are handled with involuntary psychiatric holds by @BerkeleyPolice.“Until that care team comes, the only other people who can do a 5150 is us and MH,” said Officer Valle.“And we don't have any therapists anymore. That's the problem.” – at Berkeley, CA
