A 21-year-old UC Berkeley student activist named Ismael Chamu was arrested in late June in what has now escalated into a debacle thanks to Mayor Jesse Arreguin’s intervention in the matter.
Chamu’s arrest has raised issues about whether he was the target of racial profiling from Berkeley Police Department. Chamu, who was arrested with a switchblade knife in the area targeted by slashed tires and anarchist graffiti, has a history of making inflammatory statements about the police and has ties to the Antifa movement.
