A New Way of Life Reentry Project Susan Burton


Susan Burton confronts 3 police officers in front of her resident where she house women and their children, after they came to do a compliance check under AB109. The officers handcuffed the woman, searched her twice, tore her room and closet up and told her that it was protocol and that they would be back. All of this took place while Board of Supervisor Mark Ritley Thomas was down the street visiting another resident of Susan where the woman had just told her story to MRT and his crew.



Susan speaks to some of the issues concerning AB 109 and calls up the woman that the police harrassed earlier that day to tell of what took place.



Chief of the police officers that came out speaks to the townhall meeting about AB 109 at the Community Coalition headquarters. He indicated that there should be some changes and that they were working on reviewing how officers do compliance checks.
