Every year the California Peace Officers Association hosts an event called "CopsWest"
https://cpoa.org/event/copswest-training-expo-2018/
THIS YEAR THEY ARE BRINGING 1500 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FROM ALL OVER CALIFORNIA, TO SACRAMENTO!
From September 17th to 20th, police from across the state will be at the Sacramento Convention Center (1400 J Street, Sacramento 95814), where they are having an expo, trainings, and a BBQ competition.
On September 18th, we will show up and let them know, not In Our Streets!
If you would like to come with us from the Bay Area, please join this event and complete this linked form to let us know if you are able to provide a ride for others or need a ride for yourself. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVrZoUX6d7l2ConA23rTpr394Sm1DcpoPYRnWLjP-ZcSg64Q/viewform?usp=sf_link

- PEOPLE ARE CONTINUING TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY
- There have been no answers from DA's across this state with respects to holding cops accountable for excessive force and murder.
- We will be disrupting the norm of a policing culture which lacks accountability and transparency.
- Law enforcement DOESN'T need continued training in TERRORIST and MILITARISTIC tactics!
