Big houses. Waste management. Straight out of the Sopranos.

DA Pamela Price needs to be searched next.

[Thomas-tugj]

"Oakland leaders" is kind of an oxymoron. I assume NBC Bay Area is referring to the self-appointed type.

[god]

sad. another fraud that never cared for her district.

.
Best believe she probably left the country already.

[Nighthawk-]

She's not going to survive this, it's best for her to face the music and resign.

[pcatful]

If she is not being charged or tried for this, then why should she resign? On the other hand, if she does not respond immediately to the people, she should definitely resign. Hiding out is not an option for a supposed leader.

[vagabondroller]

Where’s Sheng Tao? Kinda rhymes with where’s Waldo.

[Riza]

I wonder those who heavily supported and voted for her feel now.

[JeBrian]

She was running an underground casino from her basement.

[xtm]

What community members are asking for her resignation? Names, we need names!

[GH-oijf]

Turn over the rocks to see what crawls out.

[markcosenza]

She must have some good evidence on the Bidens!😂😂

[turtleislandchief]

She did the former police chief dirty. She better hope there's nothing damning in those boxes about that!

[TimedOut...NoWayo]
