Subject's self-description
User 2602:306:834E:5300:593D:F566:F37E:F7CE removed this well-sourced material:

The editor wrote, "Removed fake news put in yesterday", suggesting that the subject had misrepresented his affiliation.

I'm restoring the material per WP:PUBLICFIGURE (if the information is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article — even if the subject currently dislikes all mention of it); WP:BLPSELFPUB (not unduly self-serving; no claims about other persons or unrelated events; no reasonable doubt about authenticity); and WP:BLPSOURCES. The information is attributed to a good, reliable source (Breitbart), which attributes it to the source's archived Facebook page and gives additional supporting material.

No one other than this single-edit user is known to have questioned the subject's self-description or called it "fake news". --Dervorguilla (talk) 21:06, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

The information is also attributed to The Daily Caller, which appears to be (in this context) a reliable source. --Dervorguilla (talk) 07:34, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Local newssite Berkeleyside has reported that both Mayor Arreguin and BAMN have proven that Arreguin is in fact no way affiliated with BAMN (See article here). Therefore, the allegations that he has been a member of BAMN have undeniably been proven false and should therefore be removed from this page. --24.5.193.53 (talk) 03:47, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The Mayor, as a politician, appears to care a great deal about whether the allegations have been "proven false". You and I, as Wikipedia editors, do not. We just care whether they're well sourced. (See WP:BLPSOURCES.) You're welcome to discuss this issue further at WP:BLPN.
 * Thank you for bringing up the Berkeleyside story. It quotes the subject as indicating that yes, he had indeed joined BAMN's Facebook group (and had also 'liked' its FB page). I'm adding that information to the article. --Dervorguilla (talk) 07:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Increase police funding in Berkeley
Would like to suggest that the City of Berkeley increase its police funding. Last year my car was stolen twice, and I keep reading about more and more car thefts. We have a wonderful police force, it’s just that we need more funding to get better coverage.
