A plainclothes California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer pulled out a gun at a protest in Oakland on Wednesday. The officer reportedly drew the weapon and pointed it at the crowd after a protester punched another undercover colleague. We’ll discuss the incident.

Guests:

Vivian Ho, reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle

Jim Chanin, civil rights attorney who in 2000 sued the Oakland Police Dept., known as the Riders case, which resulted in a negotiated settlement with the OPD
