Christopher Edley quoted in San Francisco Chronicle, May 5, 2012

“I’ve had conversations with my students who were struck by batons, who were stopped by police and pressed to produce identification and explain themselves,” said Christopher Edley, the UC Berkeley Law School dean who wrote the report with Charles Robinson, UC’s general counsel. “It makes them feel shaky. Those transactions have to be minimized.”
