"We are Confused" | Oakland Police Officer's Association Open Letter to the Citizens of Oakland
This is NOT an Onion piece. The letter below is actually coming out of Oakland Police Officer’s Association…
An Open Letter to the Citizens of Oakland from the Oakland Police Officer’s Association
1 November 2011 – Oakland, Ca.
We represent the 645 police officers who work hard every day to protect the citizens of Oakland. We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many City beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.
As your police officers, we are confused.
On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.
Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.
To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.
That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.”
But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?
It is all very confusing to us.
Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.
The Mayor and her Administration are beefing up police presence for Wednesday’s work strike they are encouraging and even “staffing,” spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for additional police presence – at a time when the Mayor is also asking Oakland residents to vote on an $80 parcel tax to bail out the City’s failing finances.
All of these mixed messages are confusing.
We love Oakland and just want to do our jobs to protect Oakland residents. We respectfully ask the citizens of Oakland to join us in demanding that our City officials, including Mayor Quan, make sound decisions and take responsibility for these decisions. Oakland is struggling – we need real leaders NOW who will step up and lead – not send mixed messages. Thank you for listening.

That is a picture of you ain't it & you are a fucking geek with the plastic and pens in your shirt pocket. You work as a stock boy at Target and play with the Ninja Turtle action figures in the stock room where no one can see you.

The police are on a fool's errand.
They are fools but, c'mon, the bruisers love their work. Especially on OT.
They're clearly trying to take themselves out of the hotseat loaded by the Olsen attack, imo.
As soon as there is a possibility that a victim might speak their own language better than themselves, they wiggle away howling. Two-chair sitting, spineless scum.
The city is trying to manufacture a violent confrontation.
Your choice of avatars reveals alot about your self image.

WE DO NOT FORGET! WE ARE COMING!!
I wholeheartedly agree with the Guerena tragedy. But, all this SWAT team stuff has been created and funded in a big way by federal programs. When you post opinions on the financial articles you make sense. You are way off the reservation with your antagonistic opinions regarding civil disorder. Why do you attack municipalities discretion within the law to maintain the public order? These people have a beef with federal policies and are fomenting their discord within municipalities that are struggling to survive. I assume you pay local property taxes and vote to elect your mayor and city council members? What do you expect them to do, other than maintain the public order according to the law? If everyone in the community was at the protest then you would have a valid point. Stop bashing the TeaParty folks, because we have known the mission all along.
the iraq vets arent all angles.
unlike vietnam vets, some of them are former gang memers and some get recruited by gangs after returning from the military. they have valuable skills of violence . they are very valuable as members of gangs looking for their special skills in violence and other military style logistics.
so....please, enough with the 'protect our troops' crap. yes, our solidiers require respect . but no, no person can ever be judged only by their affiliations. indviduals must be judged in each and every case, on thier own merits.
How is this relevant to an all out assault on Scott Olsen and the other peaceful law abiding portestors who paid for and own those streets and parks?
'arent'; 'angles'; 'memers'; 'thier'? Iraq vets might be gangbangers but Viet Nam vets are innocent? 'Our soldiers require respect...but no, no person can ever be judged by their affiliations."?
Seriously, did you even read what you just posted?
Oh, yes, Mutherfuckers, America is finally locking and loading and you trash don't have enough law to protect you.
When many of those who would extract justice from you and billion dollar trained ex and wounded US Military bring their training and hatred for who you are to bear..........
Quake fucker.....Did you see that knife up Kadafi's ass before he was dispatched?
Get ready, America is coming for you and your trophy wife! You fucker need to start unloading to Mother Teresa's charity because all of your money ain't gonna fix you dead asshole!

"we need open carry around the country!"
Don't tell that to Mayor Bloomberg. He wants all guns taken from the people to protect the bankster types and the Israel types.
Fixed it for ya ;-)
- Ned
Fuck Bloomberg, no real NY'er pays attention to the gun bans.
the city of pell mell californica.
they don't know who to suck up to next?
Dear cops:
In times of confusion I generally follow one pattern. I don't fucking shoot people in the head with anything. Try that and see how it works. If you see a rape or murder or looting, by all means arrest someone. But don't FUCKING shoot protestors in the head.
Sincerely,
One Marine that is watching you.
PS: My iron sights work from 500 yards. How are yours?
Great post, Silver Rhino. I would just add...
Dear Cops, arrest your in-house felons or stand aside for CITIZENS ARRESTS, bar room courts and lamp posts.
:)
Same here but it's nice seeing that round hit with a scope...just saying.
Marines are professional and disciplined to a fault. We would have less problems with more Marines as police. But i would rather have seals if i had a choice. At least with seals you could use humor to get out of a ticket. :P
Hey, we have a sense of humor just not on guard duty or around nuclear weapons. ;-)
and ya, 'specially w/the kidz who have "survived" the ROE past coupla' years. - Ned
God Bless and Love Our Marines!
as for over paid Meter Maids that dress up like soldiers and shoot Un-Armed Marines in the Face..
FUCK THEM!
We DO NOT! FORGET!!
WE ARE COMING!!
I have a fairly high up reliable source that has informed me that the Marines will be mopping up the mess when it all finally collapses. Plans are in the works. A suggestion to all degenerates. Be nice to the Marines.
"fairly high up reliable" and other such oxymorons aren't worth wasting our time with. Let's keep zerohedge meat and potatoes. Shut up . . .
Memo To Oakland Po: Let me end the confusion for you. The government has been taken over by global banks. Your pension will be stolen in due course. Carry on.
Count on it Oakland PD. You think you have a pension? You're just more rabble to the 1%. You just happen to be at thir beck and call.
America supports the need for law enforcement, but why do you stick your nose into victimless "crimes" like smokin pot? You know you're due for public derision, and you deserve it. The realization on your part of your being used by the 1% should bring you as an individual into confilct with your State, City and Personal ethics.
America forgives you your errors, for a short time. Don't hurt any American Heros, their buddy will eventually come and grind your ass into shi.......mud.
Become a force for American ideals, throw off the oligarcy! Hate those who would use you as anti rabble!
You're still part of the rabble!

PS, love your new tactical equipment and tactics... looks like the training in Israel really paid off. beating down unarmed protesters sure is easy, no?
And ejoyable..
If the Oakland police want the support of the Citizens, it would be wise for them to try and earn it.. An apology is in order.. That would be a great way to start..
An apology is not enough and they know it. Thus no apology.
Yeah, sorry for deliberatly shooting you in the head with a teargas canister,
We know we are supposed to bounce them off the ground, but Larry was having a bad day,his wife left him because she said she could not handle his tiny cock sliming around on the beef curtains anymore, she said she was just going out to the store, to get a banana, well she never came back! so, Larry was kind of pissed off when the mayor said "you guys gotta get the protesters out of the park" My cousin Wang needs to get his Porta-potties in the park" If you gotta shoot some fucker in the head, just make sure it,s a fucking white guy, "fuck , police chief,THIS IS OAKLAND!
