DA Pamela Price is also more concerned about the rights of criminals rather than the safety of the larger community. And the victims of crime.... that is of no real concern. Brenda Harbin-Forte - your time is up. Your term is up. Crime is up. - Mayor Thao is right --- the police force needs some support --- not the constant drag on it by Harbin-Forte and her associate.

Alameda county government agencies are filled with government workers, who have failed the community, who are entitled, in some cases filled with nepotism. Investigate that buy you won’t.

The federal monitoring is needed. Otherwise you've got a retired activist judge who insists only SHE has the answers. No. Professionalism counts.

hoping for the best for Oakland , California .
the people deserve the best Police Chief regardless of Color, Gender nor Creed..

Public safety- is number one. SF and Oakland residents are sick and tired of the infighting-- we need a responsive police force. And a responsible Oakland Police Commission that can work to solve problems, find solutions. Not kowtow to an activist judge who impedes, disrespects others on the panel.

That flag is inappropriate. The only flag that should be up there is 🇺🇸

[Joe-rxht]

Fire the entire Oakland city council and that criminal Pamela Price. That place is a laughing stock.

[RoofedAsian]

Wish she has the power to remove Pamela price

We all know the commission has only one requirement for the next police chief....

[lukedarkvader]

You think she can fire the mayor of San Francisco. She needs to be gone too.

[matreyles]

They don’t know what they are doing that’s why. More words, no action. Pandering to the criminals.

one person's 'badge of honor' is another's accusation of incompetence and out-of-control ego.
