Walnut Creek is gearing up for what may be the Bay Area's first pro-Johannes Mehserle rally as interest grows in the demonstration planned for Monday.
Chief Joel Bryden said Walnut Creek police are prepared for the event, dubbed the "In Support of Johannes Mehserle and L.E.O. (law enforcement officers) Rally." It will be held outside Walnut Creek Superior Court, 640 Ygnacio Valley Road, near downtown.
"We will have enough officers there and work with other agencies to make sure it's a safe venue," said Bryden, who declined to provide a specific count on assigned personnel, or details about precautions.
The rally is scheduled for 2-5 p.m.
