After hearing the news, it looks like the oakland mayor is way out of line when she went after the police chief. If he is being blocked from acting by the feds, then she better reverse her bad choice.

Asians helping Asians. This is the very predicable outcome of identity politics. Im sure your agency will double down and destroy itself.

I have another story if anybody wants it. It’s time for systemic change from county counsel to board of supervisors to Sheriffs office to County Run Facility.

There is a lot more to this story.

The report is about an officer who hit somebody’s bumper and at a later date fired a weapon in an elevator at police headquarters. Saying the guy wasn’t properly disciplined.

IStandWithChiefArmstrong. He is the best police chief Oakland has ever had. Maybe he made a mistake, but he has put his whole heart in our communities. This reeks of politics

Good luck with them recruitment videos that have been airing non stop 😂

Too bad. He seemed like a positive influence, but covering up shady cops is always a bad thing. Adios!

Ms Lindsey pissed

I knew it!

Diversity hire

Oakland PD is the biggest gang in Oakland, make no mistake about it.

Geeze Oakland picks selects their police chiefs like the Raiders select their 1st round picks.

The incompetence of the entire Oakland Pd has never been more apparent than when my vehicle was burglarized as an officer retrieved lunch at the Wendy's drive thru. Officer response...you do know you're in Oakland right. File report online. Incompetent.
