Mayor Of Oakland, City Of Oakland Message On Planned George Floyd Murder Protests - Video

Mayor Of Oakland, City Of Oakland Message On Planned George Floyd Murder Protests Dear Oakland Community, Starting today, Oakland – like many cities across the country – will likely see planned and spontaneous demonstrations in response to the officer-involved killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I’d like to share statements from Mayor Libby Schaaf and Oakland Police Chief Manheimer in response to Mr. Floyd’s death: Mayor Libby Schaaf: The killing of George Floyd is our American travesty, repeated. It’s a nauseating act of government violence against a Black man, and it angers our city and communities across the country. We can, and must, undo the systems that allow it, and build a more beloved community right now. Oakland Police Chief Susan Manheimer: The men and woman of the Oakland Police Department are deeply disturbed at what we observed in the video involving George Floyd and the Minneapolis Police Department. It is paramount for us to continue to build trust and relationships with our community members and this reflects on all of us in our profession. We at the Oakland Police Department train and practice that all of our officers treat every individual with dignity and respect. We stand with our community in denouncing this incident and all incidents of police brutality. We stand with all in our community who have traditionally been marginalized, oppressed and who have been harmed by our systems and institutions. We extend our deepest condolences to George Floyd and his family. The City of Oakland is aware of two protests planned for Frank H. Ogawa Plaza; the first will occur this afternoon and another is slated for tomorrow at 8 pm. We are providing this update in our effort to keep you informed. Please share this information with your employees, neighbors and tenants. The Oakland Police Department has increased staffing to facilitate freedom of speech, while also maintaining public safety. OPD uses a free, web-based application called NIXLE to provide timely updates to our community about traffic disruptions or suggested alternate transportation routes. If you have not yet signed up for NIXLE, we encourage you to do so. Text your zip code to 888777 to opt-in, or visit www.nixle.com. Stay tuned

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
