I was elected to restore normalcy to our beloved city. Accordingly, I am herewith instructing all city departments to cease to have any communications whatsoever with Mr. Robert Warshaw, the federal monitor who has overseen the Oakland Police Department for longer than many Oakland residents have been alive.

Name me one thing Barbara Lee has done for Oakland in her 27 years of serving in the House of Representatives.

I wrote yesterday about how the Riders were never convicted of anything, and how the jurors who acquitted them were scathing in their denunciation of the prosecution. This whole case was a farce and a sham, and brought only because of anti-police bias.

Opponents of the Oakland Police Department routinely cite the so-called “Riders” case as justification for (a) keeping OPD under federal monitorship and (b) their accusations that the department is a cesspool of racism and police misconduct.

Yesterday I wrote about the Coalition for Police Accountability. Today, it’s the Office of the Inspector General here in Oakland. You might have thought the official overseer of the Oakland Police Department was the Police Commission, or, perhaps, Mr. Warshaw, the federal monitor who corruptly prolongs his $1 million salary year after year with no challenge or obstruction from the city. But no! Why have just two or three police overseers when you can have four, five or more?
