Community policing forum tackles issues from racism to accountability and reform

State Sen. Bill Dodd (D-Napa) hosted a virtual town hall this week that touched on issues including legislative responses to police violence, as well as police reform, white supremacy, and the psychological and public health issues in poor communities.

Guests joining Dodd at the town hall were the Rev. Dante Quick of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Vallejo; Bay Area psychologist Terri L. Thompson; Michael Gennaco, an expert on law enforcement reform and accountability systems; and Gabriel “Jack” Chin, professor at University of California at Davis Law School.
