TBS Today, March 23

On Monday afternoon, eight council members put forward three separate plans to revise Tuesday night's omnibus "public safety package" from Berkeley police.

The most far-reaching proposal, from Berkeley Mayor Adena Ishii and Councilwoman Cecilia Lunaparra, would cut Flock out of the city's program altogether.

Meanwhile, police say Flock is their only viable option.

TBS has the scoop.

Berkeley mayor says no to Flock. Will council follow suit?

A new proposal from Mayor Adena Ishii “opposes the renewal, approval, or authorization of any contract with Flock Safety.”
