A UC Berkeley student who posted a criticism of the Berkeley Police Department that went viral this month was arrested following nearly three dozen instances of vandalism, much of it racist, just south of campus, police said Friday.

Ismael Chamu, 21, was arrested in San Francisco on Thursday night on suspicion of the graffiti vandalism, according to the Berkeley Police Department. He was held in Berkeley jail under $85,000 bail, records show.

Among the 35 documented incidents of vandalism, according to police: a car spray-painted with he term “f— white ppl,” and buildings with the phrase “kill cops” and an “A” stylized apparently to stand for “anarchy.”

The Berkeley publication reported that in the post, which was shared thousands of times and garnered widespread support — including from Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín — Chamu accused police of racially profiling him for “being Mexican.”

Racist? Impossible. Only white people can be racist.

Back to Mexico after a suitable prison sentence and a year or more sleeping in the same cell as one of da brothers.

He can be the wife in the relationship.

I’m surprised he was arrested rather than given a parade...

This is Berkeley after all...

Well, now another descriptor can be added to the resume: potential felon.

“Call me Ishmael.”/NOT.

Give it time. A few years from now, there will probably be a campus building named after him.

I’m sure some prisoner is going to wipe that smile off of that punk’s face.

Somebody needs to bust Chimp Lips right in the mouth. Gimme a month to rehab my bad shoulder and work on my follow-through, and I’d consider it a civic duty.

Ishmael looks like a puffer of peters.

He looks like a gyoung misguided man that has totally bought the racist rant of the fasicist democrats. They want an uprising figuring we will give them whhat they want.
