BREAKING NEWS: NATIONAL

Messy Street Patterns Boost Walkability in Cities Cities that have the most complex and messy street patterns provide the most walkable and enjoyable experiences for visitors and residents, argued Allan Jacobs, the former director of San Franciscos city planning department, at a recent conference in Vancouver BC. Jacobs listed cities that have numerous intersections per square mile as a guide to their walkability. Some of the most walkable cities include San Francisco, which has 300 intersections in the Market Street area, along with Paris (281), Tokyo (988), Savannah, Ga., (538) and Portland (341).

BREAKING NEWS: STATE

Florida || Lakeland's Urban Growth Provides More Tax Revenue Than Shopping Malls, Big Box Stores A recent study by Sarasota Countys director of smart growth found that shopping malls and big box stores bring in far less property tax revenue than a downtown high rise. The high rise, which has retail stores and offices at its base, generates about $1.1 million per acre annually compared with a big box store, which produces less than $8,500 per acre. Iowa || Iowa City Uses Smart Growth Strategies to Recover from Flood With the help of an EPA Smart Growth Assistance Grant, Iowa City is revitalizing a 10-square-block section of the city that was devastated by flooding in 2008. Plans include a riverfront park designed to absorb future flood waters, as well as a mix of housing options, retail, and office space in a dense, walkable urban environment. The city also hopes to eventually connect the area to the major employer in the city, the University of Iowa, through light rail and commuter rail. New Jersey || New Jersey Citizens Support Smart Growth A recent poll found that a sizable majority of New Jersey residents support smart growth, a statewide planning strategy, expanding transit, and maintaining existing roads. Funded by the William Penn Foundation, the poll found that almost 70 percent of respondents are in support of a coordinated, statewide plan for existing population centers in order to preserve farming communities and open
1
spaces. In addition, 54 percent support expanding and improving train and bus services. Only 36 percent see building new roads as a high priority. North Carolina || Charlottesville Livable Communities Project Seeks Public Input With $1 million in funding from HUDs Regional Planning Grant program, the Many Plans, One Community Livability Project kicked off its community input series with the first of six workshops seeking public suggestions for the update of Charlottesville and Albemarle Countys comprehensive plans. Attendees at the first meeting were asked to submit comments in environmental categories ranging from sustainable development to trails and greenways. Ohio || Cleveland Could Become 100% Self Sufficient in Food Production A recent study by Ohio State University concludes that Cleveland residents could meet all their basic nutritional needs from food raised within the city limits while retaining $29 million to $115 million in the local economy. Reaching this goal would necessitate urban gardening plots on most vacant lots, growing food on some commercial rooftops, and helping homeowners grow food on their own property.

NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

Neighborhood Sustainability Pilot Program The Earth Advantage Institute invites the submission of Expressions of Interest (EOI) to participate in a pilot program to certify the economic, ecological and equity accomplishments of existing neighborhoods. The request for EOIs is intended to determine whether there is sufficient market interest in such a program. EOI deadline: November 30, 2011 Iowa Living RoadwaysCommunity Visioning Iowa State University and Trees Forever have released details on the 2012 Iowa's Living Roadways Community Visioning Program.

NEW RESOURCES
Curbside Chat: A Candid Talk About the Future of Americas Cities, Towns and Neighborhoods This report from Strong Towns highlights the need for a higher rate of financial return from existing infrastructure investments, particularly within traditional neighborhoods where large public investments in infrastructure are currently being underutilized. This new report stresses efficiency and value creation in already-built areas, instead of unchecked expansion in outlying suburban areas. EPA Urban Farm Business Plan Handbook This new publication from the US Environmental Protection Agency provides a framework for developing an urban farm on cleaned brownfields or vacant sites to help address neighborhood blight, food access, or community development challenges. The handbook provides guidance on how to assemble marketing, operating, and financial strategies to communicate an urban farm project to potential partners and funders. Growing Closer: Density and Sprawl in the Boise Valley This new Boise State University publication details the effects of sprawl in Boise, Idaho, including
3
impacts on air quality, housing design, health and agriculture. Less than one in ten Boiseans live in neighborhoods dense enough for regular bus service, according to the report. More Resources on the Smartgrowth.org website

From: Sent: To: Subject: TheBehn Report [TheBehnReport@hks.harvard.edu] Wednesday, October 19, 2011 8:48 AM TheBehn Report The Behn Report for September: "Requirements Still Require Leadership"
To subscribers of Bob Behns Performance Leadership Report Do you know that, last December, the U.S. Congress passed the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010. (Yes on the right is the first page of this legislation.) Do you know what GPRA stands for? Do you know how many things its modernization requires federal agencies to do? If you answered 55, you probably dont have a life. Of course, Bob doesnt have a life. After all, he is now beginning the ninth year of The Behn Report. And, after reading this modernization of GPRA, Bob has focused this 97th issue On why all public executives and legislators need to remember that Requirements Still Require Leadership.

Dear Jean,
Today is the last financial filing deadline before Election Day. Your donation today will determine what resources well have in the final stretch before the November 8th election. Will you donate $25, $50, or $100 today to help us cross the finish line? The time for waiting is over. This election is too important to the future of our city to sit on the sidelines and allow special interests to buy a victory. Thank you for all that you do, Jake Adams Finance Director P.S. Every dollar counts - Can you give $10 or $15 to help us contact more voters?

From: Sent: To: Subject: Warner Chabot, California League of Conservation Voters [ecovote@ecovote.org] Wednesday, October 19, 2011 10:36 AM Quan, Jean Governor Brown's Environmental Leadership
Hi Jean, Now that the legislative session is over, we at CLCV are putting together our annual California Environmental Scorecard, which tracks how our elected officials performed on the environment. As we calculate the final scores one thing is clear: what a difference it makes having an environmental champion as governor. Governor Jerry Brown has shown great leadership by making strong pro-environment appointments to his administration. He also rejected efforts to weaken key environmental protections during tough negotiations on the state budget. Recently, Governor Brown signed many important bills into law that protect the environment and public health, including a landmark renewable energy bill, a ban on the toxic chemical bisphenol-A in baby bottles, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fins, and a package of bills to secure access to clean drinking water for all Californians. Please email Governor Brown today to: 1) thank him for signing important environmental bills and 2) urge him to continue his leadership next year. Next year, the governor will again confront efforts to roll back key environmental and public safety laws in both the legislature and the budget process. He will need to make tough decisions on energy, water and other environmental issues. Anti-environmental forces will continue to make the false claim that we must weaken the laws that protect our air, water and community health in order to provide jobs. Governor Brown needs to hear from you to hold strong against these false claims. Email Governor Brown today to: 1) thank him for signing important environmental bills and 2) urge him to continue his leadership next year. Thanks for helping us keep our governor committed to a strong environmental agenda,

This memo is to provide further information regarding the JPA Board direction to contact City of Oakland, County of Alameda and OUSD select staff to provide input and data in the development of the Boards high school graduation improvement efforts. The board has directed JPA staff to develop recommendations regarding best practice strategies to improve high school graduation rates in Oakland. Among these strategies, the board has specifically directed staff to develop criteria for selecting a priority subgroup from students currently in 9th grade who graduated from an Elev8 middle school program. Board Trustees requested JPA staff to work with you to gather data and develop criteria for selecting an Elev8 subgroup to focus comprehensive resources to ensure successful high school completion. The JPA board meets again in November 28. A report must be prepared at least two weeks in advance of the meeting in order to comply with all public records posting requirements. In an effort to expedite the report and conduct all due diligence research, JPA staff would like to conduct individual interviews which each of you. Attempts to meet as a group have proven difficult given everyones busy schedule. Please take a minute to review the following questions. Also, please find attached a report on Increasing High School Graduation Rates. Isabelle Mussard, Legislative Analyst at Youth Ventures/Safe Passages will be contacting you to set up a meeting at your convenience. Thank you. Questions: 1. What data does your agency currently track that would help inform which cohort of students the JPA should focus on? a. For example, does OUSD track performance data across the high schools by race/ethnicity, FRL, and ELL? b. Or, as another example, does SSA track the graduation rates of foster youth?
36
2. What strategies employed by your agency have been shown to constitute best practices in addressing barriers to high school graduation rates? 3. What partnerships or leveraging would enable the JPA partners to maximize proven best practices so as to ensure the graduation of all of the identified cohort of high-risk students?
If you have not already done so, please contact me to let me know what times work for you in the next two weeks (anytime between tomorrow and the 25th or the 31st through the 4th of November; half-hour slots). Thank you, Isabelle 510-502-4485 cell Isabelle Mussard, JD

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Championship Youth Football Team Faces Double Jeopardy

Oak Grove Pee Wee Razorbacks Football Team in Danger of Not Participating in National Championship Due to a Lack of Funding
San Jose, CA - Oak Grove South Division One Pee Wee youth football team, the Razorbacks, are currently undefeated and have been declared the league champions. The team has earned the rights to compete in the National American Youth Football Championship games held this December in Orlando Florida. The son of Yolanda Lewis, Chief Deputy of the Black Economic Council, (BEC) is a member of this championship team and the BEC is seeking financial support for the team. The American Youth Football National Championships are one of the largest football events in the world, with over 156 teams competing over the course of 6 days for champions. The tragedy for these 11-year-old boys, many from underserved communities, who worked hard and earned the right to play in the championships but as a result of a lack of funding, were not able to take part in the games last year. The team must raise enough money to send the boys this year and avoid "double jeopardy" as a result of a lack of funding. Head coach KC Minor stated, "We have scholar athletes on the team who work hard all season to get to where we are today. It is heartbreaking to imagine not being able to take these kids to Florida again this year due to a lack of funding".
50
This month conference play offs take place and the team is poised to go undefeated. "Many of the youth on the team have high aspirations and are committed to hard work in exchange for reward and we cannot let them down", stated one parent.

Learn to bend and shape steel in The Cru
cibles smithy as you practice traditional
blacksmithing techniques using the forge and anvil. You will complete a project such as a hook, fork, or spoon.
Youth Glass Blowing (ages 12-17) In this introductory glass blowing class students will practice and learn the basic skills and
techniques that will allow them to create their very own hand b
lown glass work.
Through supportive instruction and a team environment, students will gather from the furnace and learn to use the tools to manipulate and shape the glass into paperweights, cups, bowls, sculptures and more.
Youth MIG Welding (ages 12-17)

Metal inert gas (MIG) welding, also kn
own as wire-feed welding, falls between arc
welding and TIG in the welding spectrum. Quieter and cleaner (and some say easier) than arc welding, MIG welding is typically used in production fabrication such as furniture making, light construction, and auto restoration. Youll learn the basics of MIG welding, as well as plasma cutting and other fabrication processes. Knowledge of arc welding is handy but not essential.

Dear Mayor Quan:
In 2009, Senator Loni Hancock along with East Bay Municipal Water District (EBMUD), the Attorney Generals office, the California Highway Patrol, San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFBRWQCB), San Francisco Estuary Partnership, other organizations and elected officials worked together to install permanently a depository or postal-like bin for the collection of pharmaceuticals. Inaugurated in the State Building in downtown Oakland, this new pharmaceutical drop-off location would exemplify the on-going effort to address mounting concern over the trace of pharmaceuticals in the Bay Area waterways and the call to attention regarding pharmaceutical drug-abuse among youth. Senator Loni Hancock, Chair of the Public Safety Committee in the California State Senate, has been committed to protecting the environment and promoting healthy communities. This year, she continues this mission by bringing together a coalition of law enforcement, governmental agencies and others, to encourage cities and organizations to work together and promote the safe disposal of pharmaceuticals. On Saturday, October 29, 2011, from 10 am-2 pm, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) will launch its third National Take Back Initiative. The goal of the program is to allow people to deliver all of their unused, unwanted, or expired medications to secure locations for the safe disposal of these controlled substances. Working together, Senator Hancock hopes that this collaboration with the DEA will bring public awareness to this very important concern and provide educational information and location of disposal bins throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Senator Hancock is encouraging Mayors, City Managers, City Administrators, City Representatives in her district to participate. The Oakland Police Department has committed to joining in this effort by organizing a Take Back event on October 29th and creating public awareness about the proper disposal of unused and unwanted pharmaceuticals. The Department is partnering with the DEA and has chosen two sites where the public can bring unused, unwanted or expired prescription drugs AND controlled substances or narcotics for safe disposal on October 29th. The two sites are: City of Oakland Police Department, Eastmont Station, 2651 73rd Avenue, Oakland City of Oakland Police Department Station, 455 7th Street, Oakland
Senator Hancock is also encouraging all cities in her district to participate with their host locations such as police departments to organize around this event and make it a community drug awareness day. You can attain online marketing toolkit provided by the DEA to create flyers and information sheets. The website address is

http://www.justice.gov/dea/take-back/takeback-day.html. Also, there are pamphlet templates that can be downloaded and copied. The DEA website for more information is www.dea.gov. The DEA local office has available for you posters and marketing material to hand out. The contact name and number is Mr. Glenn Moore, Supervisory Special Agent, DEA at 415-436-7900. Cities can provide information about PERMANENT disposal locations for unwanted and expired pharmaceuticals in your county. Attached to this email is a list of permanent drop-off sites that you can email to organizations and stakeholders in your community. Just a reminder that on Saturday, October 29th will be a day in which controlled AND uncontrolled substances will be collected. On a daily basis, permanent disposal sites for pharmaceuticals in the county can only accept unused and unwanted pharmaceuticals and not controlled substances or narcotics. Prior to the October 29th event, attention will be given to organizations and individuals who have been personally affected by the ease of access of prescription medication and who are addressing this issue. Two of these organizations include Mothers with a Purpose and the National Coalition of Prescription Drug Abuse, which was created following the tragic death of founder April Roveros son from Senator Hancock wants to thank the Oakland Police Department for taking the lead in addressing this very important cause. From the beginning, the Police Department has been more than willing to organize and participate in this special event on October 29th. Senator Hancock wants to thank Ms. Holly Joshi, Ms. Johnna Watson, and Ms. Lea Rubio from the Police Department for working together with our office and other organizations to make this happen. The contact name and number is Ms. Lea Rubio, Oakland Police Department at 510-238-3154. Please feel free to contact me in the senators office if you have any questions. She looks forward to your participation. Thank you,

Love & Loss: Das de los Muertos 2011

Museum Director Lori Fogarty has said, "OMCA was founded as a 'museum of the people' and Das de los Muertos is a celebration and observation in which we share our values of community participation and engagement. More importantly, it is a vibrant reminder that our times of coming together define who we are as individuals and community." Her words prove to be especially telling for this year's exhibition Love & Loss: Das de los Muertos 2011 in which guest curator Patricia Rodrguez focuses on the intimate and often personal stories told in altars created by artists and school and community groups.

I could support it if they made sure to account for every dime of money going into and out of the City and posting it online (in easy to read graph formats..like Mint.com does) for all to see. Without accountability this city will continue struggle. We have to find a way to force responsibility on this obviously irresponsible leadership. That and I want some term limits (max 3, 4 year terms). Give me those things and we can talk about raising taxes...again. Luke on Hampel

Hi All, Rummaging through the newspaper basket I came across the LaneyTower newspaper (Laneytower@peralta.edu), the newspaper for Laney College. In the newspaper was an article that I found compelling (it's where many are in Oakland and where the churches need to be): "Community churches rally to help East Oakland."

Hi All, For those who think that Mayor Jean Quan should have been more encouraging of Chief Batts please read the article below from the East Bay Express: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/oakland-is-better-off-without-batts/Content?oid=3019194 Also please note the salubrious message from the Consent Decree monitors for the actions of Mayor Quan and the City Administrator.

GEORGE PHILLIPS.. YOU'RE ADDING TO MY EMOTIONAL DISTRESS... WHAT IS THE HOLD UP WITH THE SIMPLEST FIXES IN OPD???
Subject:
It's now the 19th and I STILL HAVE YET TO EVEN HAVE THE SIMPLE ISSUES RESOLVED... HOWARD JORDAN, Why is it taking soo long to follow up and follow through with even the simplest issue you were to resolve back on 9/27??? As you already are aware, I have several valid complaints of negligence, dishonesty, reckless behaviors against Sgt. George Phillips and although he has made "significant progress" on the case (which I just found on on 9/27), he has cause me and my family an indescribable amount of irreparable emotional damage.. Not only did he compromise my safety and My/ Daddy's business by violating a court order (because he didn't do his research) by bringing the person who is responsible for Daddy's Murder & who's also made death threats and had her affiliates come after me in a car chase to my place of business without notifying me, not following proper procedure.... But because of Sgt. Phillips reckless & negligent behaviors in not following proper procedure and blatantly lied, I now have to see and hear about others seeing The Truck (THAT I HELD THE PHYSICAL PINK SLIP FOR, IN ADDITION AM THE EXECUTOR OF THE TRUST/ RESPONSIBLE FOR) anywhere from Richmond to Oakland, damn near every day and we lost that strong memory of our father, BECAUSE OF GEORGE PHILLIPS.. Because of Sgt. George Phillips and his lack of returning simple phone calls when I called him in distress the night of the car chase, and even more recently when I received death threats and pleaded to him and your office for help and to trace calls, he treated me with low priority and with the email response he sent, Even SAN LEANDRO PD CONFIRMED HE WAS GIVING ME THE "OUTRIGHT BRUSH OFF TREATMENT" and because of all of the stress when he couldn't even do the simplest things, I lost my child in miscarriage a short time after (BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS.. NOT DADDY'S DEATH.. BUT GEORGE).... Even my mother called me and asked me to relay and she also wrote a letter requesting that there be another form of contact because of the critical amount of emotional distress it causes my brother to even talk to him or hear his voice, because he's just as effected and that truck was supposed to go to HIM (for ME to administer to him once it was cleared)..... I CAN'T EVEN STAND HEARING HIS VOICE, LITERALLY.... I am so full of rage/ upset with Sgt. George Phillips it's not even funny, for how he mishandled things, lied & was reckless and I don't ever want to talk to him again. But as issues come up, I have no choice but to call him and leave messages and/or email BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RESOLVE THE SIMPLEST REQUEST THAT YOU AGREED TO..... DO YOU REALIZE THE EFFECT YOU ARE CAUSING?????????? I MEAN REALLY????? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU AND PHILLIPS AND ALL OF THIS UNNECESSARY CRAP THAT I NOW HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE A THERAPIST BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF STRESS CAUSED THAT COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDABLE IF YOU HAD JUST DONE YOUR JOBS, FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURE, TELL THE TRUTH AND DO THE RIGHT THING... IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU, PHILLIPS AND YOUR DEPARTMENT THAT I HAVE TO SEE A THERAPIST TO GET MY STRESS UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE I LOST ALL OF DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING OF MY DAD FROM THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT AND NOT JUST TAKING TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PROTECT AND SERVE!!!!!!!!!! BUT FOR ALL I STATED IN THE MEETING AND IT WAS APPARENT THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE YOU AGREED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, YOU HAVEN'T DONE A THING...
88
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PURPOSELY DRAG YOUR FEET TO MAKE THINGS HARD ON ME, BUT LET ME TELL YOU, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF OTHERS, IF THAT IS YOUR INTENT... Since My Father's Murder, as My Brother is physically and mentally disabled, EVERYTHING HAS FALLEN ON MY SHOULDERS N WITH THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MURDER BECAUSE SHE WANTED HIM TO PURPOSELY DECOMPOSE AS EVEN THE FUNERAL HOME CONFIRMED 1ST HAND.... IT'S ONLY ME WHO IS KEEPING THE BUSINESS RUNNING AND PAYING FOR ALL THESE LEGAL PROJECTS NOT JUST FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT BUT OTHER AS I HAVE NO CHOICE IN BEING PLACED AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE TRUST.. EVEN NOW, AS DADDY WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TO PRIMARILY KEEP MY BROTHER IN CHECK, MAINTAIN ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS SINCE MY BROTHER IS MENTALLY INCOMPETENT, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE CONSERVATORSHIP OVER MY BROTHER BECAUSE HIS LIFE HAS FALLEN APART AND NO ONE ELSE IS CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF HIM... SO ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE HELP AND IF YOU'RE TRULY SORRY FOR MY LOSS, YOU'D DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB & TUCK YOUR EGO IN YOUR BACK POCKET.. As My Father left both My Brother & I life insurance, Sgt. Phillips already cleared us back in May... Since then, unbeknownst to me, there is an additional policy in which the Insurance Agency located both me and my brother.. As they sent a form for Phillips to fill out, he returned the form, showing the case is still open (which is to be expected), but showed no indication that I, nor my brother are cleared. He already knows me and my brother have nothing to do with what ever happened to Daddy... Howard, since you STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THAT SIMPLE REQUEST, as my brother contacted me last week, I left a message for George to please contact the insurance people and correct. If there is something that I'm not aware of, please let me know... Didn't hear a word from (which I didn't want to hear anyways)... I sent a follow up email yesterday and no word.. I was contacted by the Life Insurance Agency this morning, as well as my brother and left another message for Phillips and I REALLY CAN'T TAKE EVEN HEARING ON VOICEMAIL (I will never forgive him for some of the shyt he pulled).. But there is no response.. The request doesn't take but less than 3 minutes to complete and not that hard.. Now my guess for you, Howard, is because I struck a chord with your ego at the meeting, your purposely dragging your feet (which you intently made clear with an uncooperative response towards the end of the meeting) to try to make me suffer..... For George, since I started the Hell Storm and Complaint Process with Him since June (after I found out about the Truck) and bringing wrath, he's probably doing the same.... It may have been a simple fix, but judging how you and him carried yourselves, so far, I say his behavior is intent.... The sooner situations get resolved, the sooner I'll get off of your cases... PLEASE FIND AN ALTERNATE CONTACT BECAUSE I REALLY CANNOT STAND HEARING SGT. PHILLIPS VOICE, NOR CAN MY BROTHER & I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM, DIRECTLY..... ALSO, CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE HIM RESPOND TO THE EMAIL I SENT YESTERDAY IN RESOLVING WITH THAT QUICK FIX FOR THE LIFE INSURANCE, (WHICH HE ALREADY DID FOR THE PREVIOUS COMPANY) OR SOMEONE FROM YOUR OFFICE (BESIDES HIM) LET ME KNOW STATUS??? THANKS IN ADVANCE AND ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU TURN TABLES AND LIVE LIFE THROUGH MY EYES AND THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY I'M SO UPSET, DISGUSTED & MAD AS A HORNET WITH HOW EVERYTHING IS BEING TREATED, HOWARD..

Interim Chief Howard Jordan, Happy Tuesday... This is a follow up from The email I sent to you, dated 9/30/2011, after our meeting on 9/27/2011. It is now 10/17/2011 and I still have yet to hear a response directly from you... Although you are Interim Chief (until OPD finds a permanent placement), I understand you have assistants.. However, as I met DIRECTLY WITH YOU in addressing issues on 9/27/2011 and you made several inaccurate statements, was to resolve the request to find an alternate method contact/ correspondence due to the irreparable & extreme emotional distress caused with any type of communication by Sgt. George Phillips, correcting the blatant lie you told in trying to cover for him, in addition to you following up with the outstanding issue of the property access rights/ coordination, I expect to hear DIRECTLY from you and have not heard ONE RESPONSE, FOLLOW UP, CORRECTION OR OTHER... With as much time that's gone by and you knew you messed in the meeting by not being prepared and lied and tried to brush things off, it just seems that you really don't care about your job, nor your department, or you're just too comfortable in your position thinking you can get away with anything... That's a sad frame of mind either way, so I'm going to ask once again as I initially did on 9/27 & 9/30, to correct your inaccurate statements, lie you told and follow through with what you said you were going to do.. Again, as I stopped your sentence in the beginning of the meeting because I already knew it was superficial and I stated that if you truly are sorry for my loss, you'd just do your job, making things easier for me.... So again, I ask Interim Chief, HOW TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS CONSISTENTLY HAVE SPOKEN DIFFERENT THAN YOUR MOUTHPIECE... Although I had to correct you on several inaccurate statements you made since it was clear as day that you did NOT read through any of the documents, DID NOT contact the City Attorney and did NOT do your homework/ research, it was very apparent that you entered uncharted territory and wasn't ready for it... Among the list of things, discussed, ONE THING YOU DID AGREE TO DO AS AN EASY FIX was to find an alternate contact, rather than continue to correspond with Sgt. Phillilps... Because of the amount of unnecessary stress Sgt. Phillips has caused our family, including me losing a baby with the stress caused with the multiple acts of malicious negligence and reckless behaviors, violating court orders that compromised my safety and other, it really has taken a mental toll on me and my brother... As I disclosed before that my brother has even called my mother and me crying, breaking down after every time he talks to Phillips... You "acted" like you understood and appeared to be fully cooperative in agreement.. As you have other officers contacting me to schedule meetings (even for other officers), all you had to do is designate a 3rd party to contact as a bridge way for Me/My Brother & Phillips... However, never received a follow up from this simple fix... Since the meeting on 9/27, Sgt. George Phillips directly contacted My Brother, asking him for MY ADDRESS IN WHICH HE ALREADY HAS... He knows how to contact me.. He called my brother because he was going to send some resource information for a Grievance Counselor... A GRIEVANCE COUNSELOR 7 MONTHS AFTER MY DAD HAS BEEN DEAD AND FOR ALL THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND HE'S JUST NOW DISCLOSING THIS INFORMATION??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? I dont' know if he's purposely trying to contact my brother to purposely agitate him, but it is very apparent that you did not even address the issue with Phillips because he still called my brother, days after the meeting on 9/27..... After my brother called both me and my mother, crying and already borderline nervous break down, SINCE YOU COULDN'T EVEN COMPLETE THE SIMPLEST OF TASKS, I HAD TO DIRECTLY CONTACT PHILLIPS AND LEAVE A MESSAGE LETTING HIM KNOW TO PLEASE STOP CONTACTING MYSELF AND MY BROTHER AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DESIGNATED AN ALTERNATE CONTACT... IT'S NOW 10/18 AND STILL NO WORD, JORDAN... So again I ask, How TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR OUR LOSS? As I've spoken to a few associates, clients and other who work in your department, I agree with them 1,000% in saying that you are "full of yourself", "egotistical" and "a slug"... As I stated in the initial email below on 9/30, everything was all smiles and charm until I started correcting you and calling you out on your inaccurate statements as I saw you weren't prepared.. From there, I don't care how you try to mask it, but you became more defensive, impatient, turned uncooperative as it seemed I struck a chord with your ego...... From wanting to help with simple fixes quickly changed as you saw the situation can no longer be brushed off and was all avoidable...
90
Where you stated that you would contact the City Attorney, and I asked you for a time line and you refused to give one, why is that Sgt. Bolten took a few moments to check in on the matter and doing what you should have done? It was very apparent in the meeting that as I called you out on your lie and inaccurate/ inconsistent statements, that you were trying to find a way to make me suffer.. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Interim Chief Jordan.. With the behaviors you displayed, even in that short meeting and following after, tells me that you will never be a Permanent Chief and Always a Temporary because you have the wrong frame of mind in leadership and what your badge stands for.... As for a "Slug", That also fits you extremely well as it's all consistent with the behaviors from the meeting and looking at almost 3 weeks later and you still didn't do due diligence on the things you did agree to carry out.. I'm not even going to define this term as you already defined it for me on Page 15 of Your Deposition from 1/21/11 with your case against Derwin Longmire, but your actions cleary define who you are and this label suits you in how you've handled this entire project.... I am not purposely trying to go out of my way to attack you or your character.. But when you show any type of inconsiderate, unjust behavior and mistreatment towards me (especially when it's not justified in truth), I have even less consideration for you... Just do what was asked of you and follow through with what you were supposed to do (even from jump)... If folks just did the right thing and do what they were/ are supposed to, you wouldn't have to deal with this... As I run businesses and even a rule of thumb in dealing with life??? If you don't want people to complain, especially about the same thing, then don't give them a reason to... Either resolve it and keep it moving or try to get it right the first time.... Interim Chief Jordan, in pushing forward, because of your intent negligent and reckless behaviors, I will be pushing forward to file a complaint against you, adding in with the bunch of bad apples... Thanks for making my claim against the city easier as all you had to do was do what was asked of you (even before the meeting) and carry out simple tasks, and you couldn't even do that and let your ego get in the way... Please see below for original email sent as I still have not heard a response and you are clearly a liability for the city... "Pour tous ceux qui rpondre mes appels l'aide, et de faire diligence raisonnable grce la justice, la vrit, de vritables actes de le coeur, et ne pas traiter comme priorit faible, peuvent vous tre bni un million de fois plus avec la gentillesse vous montrer d'autres personnes ...

91
This letter is a follow up from Our Meeting held on Tuesday (9/27/11) regarding with the investigation and several surrounding issues/ incidents since My Father's homicide on 3/16/11 under Report Number 11-013194. I will make this as brief as possible and straight to the point. First and Foremost, Sergeant Benton, I want to say that I truly appreciate you being present and for your insight and the way you carried yourself, overall.... With the issues surrounding the trust (gaining access to property,etc)... You stepped up and expressed that with situations like these, it's not a common thing (explanation why the situation has been mistreated), but you came across in being open to listening and looking for a solution (not writing it off since it's uncharted territory).... As you spoke, you took responsibility/ accountability, not just for yourself in understanding and experience as you worked Patrol (putting yourself in a position to see why things were handled the way they were), but Officers in your department Overall... If you weren't familiar with something, you were upfront in saying so, but presented an openness in being willing to learn and explore to resolve.... You took responsibility/accountability with an open mind to resolve and that is a Strong Trait of a Leader... Even with addressing the issue as to why Chief Batts HAS NEVER responded at any point, you explained that, taking responsibility and I appreciate that... Even for after the meeting was done, you took the initiative to walk us to the Elevator and Explain some things but you made an attempt to bring closure with a "POSITIVE" resolve. Sgt. Benton, for your participation in the meeting and after, YOU ARE APPRECIATED AND SHOW GREAT TRAITS OF LEADERSHIP.... THANK YOU... Assistant Chief Howard Jordan, let me first say that it was a pleasure (at first) meeting you.... As a compliment, I will say that you just as much extremely attractive on the news as you are in person.. You have a very strong and confident presence with an initial pleasant charm... What I am about say, as I speak in truth is I am extremely disappointed and offended by the meeting in how you conducted yourself, trying to figure out how did you get so hi in ranking... How can someone attractive, sharp, bright & charming on the exterior be so careless, dishonest, egotistical, insecure & "Unsmart" on the interior.... Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? Just saying and not even trying to be mean but you definitely are That Example... As you treated this meeting and my file overall (complaints, concerns) with such inconsideration and carelessness, I have even less regard/
consideration for you at this point... As I have a lot of friends, associates, clients and other in your department, SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU ABOUT ME... I'M NOT OF THAT GENERAL POPULATION & VERY MUCH A RARE SPECIES AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.... If you knew better, you would have done better.... Since you didn't, maybe this will give you incentive to correct the mistakes you made in the meeting.. Assistant Chief Jordan, from the beginning of the meeting, I picked up on your type in knowing you were gonna be full of shit and shady the moment you said "I'm sorry for your loss......... " (I picked it up in your voice)... That's why I stopped you because I already knew your condolences were superficial... As I stated if you truly are sorry, then do your job and make things easier for me.... The FIRST QUESTION I asked you is if you did your research (homework).. You replied , "Somewhat"... That tells me right there how much care and attention you put into My File of Situations/ Concerns/ Requests surrounding My Safety and My Father's Homicide and shows me how truly sorry you are for My Loss (which is none whatsoever).. As there were several issues to discuss, I will say Thank You for resolving the "simple issues"... Although I wanted to have the case re assigned from Sgt. George Phillips because of his several acts of Negligence, Poor Customer Service & Dishonesty, I do understand and can respect the reason why you will not do so... Since NO ONE EVER CALLS ME OR CONTACTS ME OR RESPONDS with Status, I did not know of significant progress (and confirmation of information)... With what you disclosed, I can respect and agree that a Private Investigator is not needed for this case... I have no arguments with that... Thank You for honoring my request of finding an alternate method of communication since Phillips has caused so much emotional distress (with his foul ups) to me and my family.. I look forward to the update very soon.... Now on the main tip, You made SEVERAL MISTAKES & YOU LIED, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN AND YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF... You've had full knowledge of all of my complaints, emails, all documentation as there was a meeting ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED on 8/4/2011... You had from Late July until then to "do your homework" (research).. The meeting was cancelled and you went home before the meeting slot was even over and it was RESCHEDULED FOR 8/17/2011... You had from 8/4/11 until 8/17/11 to "do your
homework" (research).... As Chief's Assistant, Yolanda Morris (who is also a liar) cancelled the meeting the day of 8/17/11, since you had an urgent meeting elsewhere, I didn't hear a word and things got escalated to where I FINALLY met with you this past Tuesday (9/27/11)... In all of this time, You had from Late July until Tuesday (9/27, exactly 2 months after initial meeting was scheduled) to "do your homework" (research).. You had all this time to research the emails and all attachments (That Chief Batts,
92
Sgt Phillips & You had all this time), take a few moments to call the City Attorney to run scenarios by her, asking questions and getting confirmation and clarification of what can be done, proper policy procedure and other... But YOU DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING & LOOK EVEN WORSE THAN CAPTAIN STEVE TULL... How do I know? You told on yourself as it showed throughout the entire meeting.... Per our discussion on Tuesday, you made several inaccurate statements and I want you to confirm or correct what you said... For the issue of gaining access on the property to retrieve the rest of My Father's Belongings that are ALL LISTED IN THE TRUST, I provided and re attaching the following: -The Revocable Trust My Father (deceased) created from 2007, which includes the Grant Deed that Shows His SOLE Ownership of the Property, Information in the Trust confirming the Property was to go to ONLY Me and My Brother, Yancy P. Johnson -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Trust -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Property with Rights YOU'VE HAD ALL OF THIS INFORMATION SINCE LATE JULY AND POSSIBLY BEFORE, AC JORDAN AS IT WAS ATTACHED IN THE EMAILS.... I have made several attempts to access the property with Civil Standby's and as the person who is Responsible for My Father's Murder (My Estranged Stepmother) has squatted on the property and lied alleging it was her house and property (after I provided the same documentation to the responding officers), your officers refused me access to my own property and brushed it off as a "civil issue", stating that a court order is required (which is inaccurate as your city attorney and my attorney confirmed)... There is no reason, as I provided all necessary documentation to the responding officers and your department that I should not have been able to get onto that property, retrieve personal properties and carry out my duties of the Trust as the Trustee/ Administrator/ Executor as even MY ATTORNEY WAS PRESENT ON ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS AND ALSO IN DISBELIEF BECAUSE OF IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE SITUATION.. As you also confirmed that what I am requesting is a "civil matter", you DID NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND CHECK WITH YOUR CITY ATTORNEY BEFORE MAKING THAT STATEMENT... As you asked me the same questions in several different forms of do I have documentation to confirm that I have access and other, I DO AND I PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO & EVEN THE MORNING OF THE MEETING.. YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AND READ THAT IF YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH!!!!! BUT YOU DIDN'T, WHICH SHOWS ME HOW TRULY SORRY YOU ARE FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND TAKE CARE OF THE TASK THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU.... DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!! As you've had this file/ emails/ documentation since Late July, it wasn't until the meeting on Tuesday (9/27) that you said you will contact Rocio Fierro ... I asked if you can also contact and coordinate with My Attorney and you refused, already appearing to be flustered because I had to correct you... I don't care how much you were trying to keep your cool, I could with your body language, eye movements and slight change in color, you were flustered... I asked you how soon can I hear from you on this because as I've been trying to make attempts since March with Civil Standbys and All and since then, The house has been foreclosed on, The Person responsible for My Father's Murder has Stolen everything out the house (family heirlooms, furniture, pictures,etc) and the only thing I need to get is The Vehicle that's in the carport since I am now being sued for it as The Administrator of The Trust and My Estranged Stepmother's Car is blocking it.... You tried to brush the question off so I asked more directly, "Can you please give me a time when I can hear from you and have this resolved?".. You responded, directly, "No,
93
I will not give you a time...." in a very short tone and I could tell you were agitated.. YOU HAVE SOME NERVE AND YOU DON'T THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, I SEE... So let me get this straight, as I'm already in process of filing a claim against the city and your department (taking money away from the already over budgeted city and your short staffed department) because of the several careless acts of negligence caused primarily by Sgt. George Phillips, I've already suffered the loss of My Father, have had death threats that your department gave the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD confirmed, have lost damn near all sentimental belongings that were in that house by being stolen (photos, heirlooms, furniture, his clothes, etc) because your department didn't know to follow the proper procedure and have suffered A GREAT AMOUNT OF STRESS BECAUSE OF THE ACTS OF INCONVENIENCES UNNECESSARILY CAUSED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT ALL SINCE MARCH..... And you can't be considerate enough to see with all of that, take a few moments, make a call or 2 to get proper clarification and confirmation and coordinate something that would only take less than an hour to resolve??? As much as a few of your officers have messed up so far, you can't take a few moments out of the day to JUST DO YOUR JOB, RESOLVING THE MATTER QUICKLY JUST SO WE CAN ALL MOVE ON?? The sooner you do your job, the sooner I'll stop bugging you.... As I'm already in process of filing a claim against the City and Your Department because of your "non education" with the issue of gaining access to the property with the Trust & Administration Documentation as I was refused access, inaccurately passing things off as a "civil matter" and since March, Everything has been stolen out of the house since then, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN EGO PROBLEM BECAUSE I CORRECTED YOU ON SOME THINGS, YOU'RE WILLING TO COST THE CITY AN ADDITIONAL $125,000+ (The Value of The Car)???? ALL THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND FOLLOW UP ON A TASK THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU SINCE LATE JULY???? You ought to be ashamed and May God Have Mercy On YOUR SOUL WITH THE MISTREATMENT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS.. So, Assistant Chief Jordan, how much do you really care about the city and your department??? How Truly Are You Sorry for My Loss as You So Superficially Stated??? How much do you truly honor your badge and what it stands for in protecting and serving??? Your actions spoke louder than your words, Jordan and I'm offended and disappointed.... You're too attractive and high ranking to be so foolish and careless... The Simplest Resolution I am Requesting??? I am just asking for a Civil Stand by... I will coordinate (as I've done before) with Tow Trucks, Attorney and Locksmiths to gain access through the gate and onto the property... Since My Estranged Stepmother's (who is also the suspect in looking to be charged with Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft, Attempt to Commit Fraud (Insurance Agency), Fraud/ Forgery with DMV & Falsifying Information on a Police Report) other car is parked in the driveway, blocking the carport, if she is there, the officer will tell her to move her car out of the driveway so I can have access... If she is not there, I will have her car towed and placed on the street. I will remove the vehicle listed in the trust, check the property to see if there are any other items listed in the trust (the house has been damn near completely cleaned out but still need to check) and be done... I am just asking that with all the information provided to your department, confirming ownership and rights onto the property and personal property listed to the trust be advised to the responding officer so if the Squatter aka Suspect aka Estranged Stepmother tries to feed some garbage out her property and other, the officer will know the situation ahead of time and be able to act accordingly, instead of refusing access and brushing off as a civil matter (which has been an ongoing inaccurate occurrence).. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN SINCE THIS CAN ALL BE DONE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR... With the topic of status of the rest of My Father's Belongings that were in that truck and on his body, and the issue of releasing property, again the issue of the Trust came up as I provided all of this
94
documentation to Sgt. Phillips since the beginning and you had in your possession since Late July (emails attachments with the complaints/requests).. A Trust is defined as a Legal Obligation given by a person called the donor or settler (my dad), binding upon the Trustee (Administrator/ Executor) of the Trust, for the benefit of another (referred to as beneficiary).. Assistant Chief Jordan, you directly stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a civil matter and property is released to next of Kin (which would be My estranged Stepmother).... You made the same mistake Captain Tull Did as you did not DO YOUR RESEARCH/ HOMEWORK... I questioned your statement because if that was the case, why did Sgt. George Phillips, out of negligence, directly contact my brother (beneficiary) about The Truck (that was Illegally Auctioned Off, Later) that My Father Was murdered in, instead of My Estranged Stepmother??? You responded that Phillips did contact My Stepmother and she told him to give the truck to my brother.... You didn't say "Phillips may have" or "Possibly"..... You directly responded with that statement with confidence as if it was a fact... Assistant Chief Jordan, your response was a COMPLETE BOLD FACED BAD LIE AND YOU NEED TO QUIT IT!! I KNOW THAT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE BECAUSE WHEN I PUT SGT. PHILLIPS ON SPOT, HE STATED DIRECTLY (via email and verbal on voicemail) THAT HE RELEASED THE TRUCK DIRECTLY TO MY BROTHER SINCE HE IS THE "BENEFICIARY" OF THAT TRUCK.... So not only did you try to cover for Phillips, but you got caught in a LIE, not knowing what I already knew... AS YOU TAKE AN OATH OF LOYALTY TO THE BADGE AND ALL IT STANDS FOR IN PROTECTING AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY, DON'T EVER LIE AND ESPECIALLY DON'T EVER LIE TO ME!!! Your colleagues should have warned you about me because I'm not the general population female.... So back to the Trust, as you stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a "civil matter" and property is released to next of kin, I asked you "are you sure?" and "Can you email me what you just stated" because if that's the case, your department and the city would be covered with law suites and liabilities.. You stopped (already flustered because I've corrected you a few times already) and had to think about it and said you'll check with the city Attorney.. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THIS SINCE BEFORE OUR INITIAL MEETING THAT WAS CANCELLED ON 8/4 AND HAD THE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES THE ENTIRE TIME BUT DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.. So how much time did you put into this project, Assistant Chief??? Lastly, although I have filed a complaint against Sgt Phillips, it has nothing to do with him continuing the investigation.... And the case is still open... One of my main complaints, as My Brother and Daddy's Best Friend both confirmed to you is that there were leads that were provided with direct knowledge, even from the beginning and Sgt. Phillips never contacted many of them... Also, as I received Death Threats already knowing it's related to the person responsible for Daddy's Murder (My estranged stepmother), I asked to have my records traced and cross referenced to Daddy's and see any connection.. I received the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD's Officers Confirmed.. I asked you in pushing forward, can he please do the trace & investigate to see if there is any connection and call the leads... You directly told me I have to file a complaint in order for him to do that... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, SOMETIMES.. JUST SAYING.... So Assistant Chief Jordan, let me get this straight... As the investigation is still open, you mean to tell me that with investigating as sometimes we have to back track our notes, exhaust leads and just check into information, I have to file a complaint for him to turn over a stone that he already has knowledge of??? So you're telling me that if I provided information to your department for an open investigation that might possibly be helpful, I have to waste the City's Over Budgeted Spending on Filing a Complaint, having people to review it and then tell him to do his job??? You mean to tell me, you'd rather for me to file a complaint, rather than you telling him to take a few minutes just to follow up on something to exhaust a possible lead/ connection that could possibly close the case, sooner so he can move on???? Assistant Chief Jordan, It appears that YOU'RE A LIABILITY TO THE CITY WITH HOW MUCH YOU'RE COSTING THEM WITH POOR JUDGEMENT & WASTING TIME.....
95
So let me ask again, Are you SURE I HAVE TO FILE/ ADD COMPLAINT IN ORDER FOR PHILLIPS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH INFORMATION HE NEVER CHECKED ON AND IS ALSO RELATED TO MY SAFETY?? Since you didn't do your homework and as I've mentioned I've been involved with a car chase since Daddy's Homicide, Received Death Threats and Other.. Let me remind you as I, along with everyone else knows I'm the Next Target?? Is because for the person responsible for his murder (my estranged stepmother) has a motive of pure hate towards me (which is why she is acting the way she is and committed all these separate crimes since)... When my father was alive, and I was the closest person to him, I was not only his business partner and Daddy's Girl, But His Doberman (My Nickname).... What ever he told me to do, I did while he sat back and relaxed... For the person responsible for Daddy's Murder, upon request, I have fired her from the job a few times, repossessed the car she was driving.. When Daddy wanted to separate in the past from her, I coordinate everything and made it happen... When Daddy didn't want to be around her and she was stalking and harassing him, I prepared the protective orders for him and all he had to do was sign and be there.. Even for the eviction, I'm the one who prepared the document, he signed it and I served her for him and was to complete the process.. After his death and as you will see, he didn't leave her in charge and really didn't leave her anything, including a life insurance policy, she's still angry and blamed me for years for why he didn't want to be with her... So as you see from the tons of police reports & restraining orders and other, just as she removed him, the story is not over.. With your actions on Tuesday, tells me either way, you don't give a damn as your ego is too much in the way and you're too busy and you're too lazy and/or comfortable in your position to research anything.... Either way, Jordan, I'm going give you a fair shot here and ask that you correct your inaccuracies and do the right thing... As the meeting was from 2-2:30, it ran over and as time grew closer to 3, I observed something and want to point it out... On the day of the initial meeting, which was scheduled from 3-3:30, I called the patrol desk when I was trying to find parking to let them know to notify you I'm there but will be in a few minutes late, although my brother and daddy's friend were already there and waiting.. As I came in around 3:10 and waited in line (since McDonald told My Brother that he wasn't going to acknowledge him because he wasn't supposed to be in the meeting), when I finally talk to McDonald, he called the 8th Floor and told me the meeting was cancelled... I didn't understand and it was Kiona Suttle that came down stairs to inform me that Jordan had already left and he usually gets off by 3:15 (This was approximately 3:17).. I showed her my call log to confirm when I called into Patrol at 2:57.... Kiona then went upstairs and went to find someone to meet with us... She came downstairs, apologetic and confirmed no one was available and instructed me to call to reschedule with Yolanda... But one fact is JORDAN WAS GONE BEFORE THE MEETING TIME SLOT WAS OVER BEFORE 3:17... I made a complaint about this shortly after and Yolanda called to address the issue and stated that Jordan was there the day of the meeting and did not leave early.... I could tell she was lying on the phone... But for confirmation??? One thing I noticed is in the meeting, as it got closer to 3, Jordan you kept looking at your watch and I could see you growing slightly impatient (like you were ready to go).... That was confirmation enough for me too see that your actions were consistent with the apology and update Kiona gave to me (IN TRUTH) on 8/4/11 and Yolanda is a lied, after the fact, trying to cover for YOU... YOU GUYS NEED TO QUIT LYING SO MUCH AND JUST DO YOUR JOB!!! WHAT ARE WE (THE CITY) PAYING YOU AND SUPPORTING YOU FOR????? DO THE RIGHT THING AND QUIT PLAYIN REINDEER GAMES!!!!! So Assistant Chief, Jordan?? As The meeting was held on Tuesday, I never received a follow up from the meeting, even to correct your inaccurate statements, but I am requesting response and resolution to these matters no later than Wednesday, October 5th, at close of the day.... These
96
simple requests only take a few minutes to complete and as you didn't do your job and research before, and you WASTED MY TIME WITH THE MEETING SINCE YOU WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED, DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME AROUND... IF I DON'T HERE FROM YOU, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC TO BE ROLLED UNDER THE BUS WITH THE REST OF THE GENERAL POPULATION OF BAD APPLES WITH COMPLAINTS, CITIZEN'S REVIEW BOARD, ADDING TO THE CITY'S CLAIM AND OTHER... YOU'RE NOT ONLY COSTING ME MONEY AND WASTING MY TIME, BUT YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING TO THE CITY & YOUR DEPARTMENT... JUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND COMPLETE THE TASKS THAT WERE HANDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO!!!! PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENTS ONCE AGAIN THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HAD IN YOUR POSSESSION FOR 2 MONTHS, REVIEW, RESEARCH AND RESOLVE, APPROPRIATELY!!!! WITH THAT HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND....

From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Hi Susan: Thanks for your update. It is regrettable that CAO Santana has declined our offer to authorize a space downtown where Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless Program can provide our mobile clinic-based primary care medical services and mental health and support services referrals for homeless and precariously housed persons near the Occupy downtown. We have received many requests to homeless services downtown, and we will continue to provide outreach services this afternoon our staff has been down to the site, and I will meet with medical staff there tonight. Of course we are providing information and referrals flyers and papers, as well as some hygiene kits and homeless supplies. Unfortunately, the fact is that regular HCHP mobile clinic services cover the entire county, and there are few downtown sites to invite homeless persons to visit (St. Vincents clinic 11/24, City Team Thurs 11/3, St. Vincents again 11/7 & 11/14, and thats about it). I would to maintain open the request/offer of ACHCHP to station a mobile clinic from which homeless clinical services, support services, mental health referrals and other public health activities (immunizations, HealthPAC enrollment) could be provided by county and city health providers. Myself and Addie Brown, Support Services Team Leader, will continue to be in contact with you and with City staff to keep each other assessed of needs and possibilities.

There are about 21 or so homeless folk we have identified that are hanging out during the day hours but dont appear to be staying through the night in the tents. I know that you all go to several sites downtown on an ongoing basis. I would suggest that if you are interested in outreaching to this group that some flyers are prepared to say that and hand them out to the group with the time and location that your van would be nearby. Thanks for thinking about this and offering to provide services. WE are clear about your interest and partnership. We too are concerned about the safety and well being of those folk camping out and are trying diligently to work with them in maintaining a safe and healthy environment while they camp out in our Plaza.

From: Sent: To: Subject: Max Allstadt [rev.max@gmail.com] Wednesday, October 19, 2011 6:31 PM Quan, Jean; Cowan, Richard; Cornu, Sharon; Brunner, Jane; Kernighan, Pat; Nadel, Nancy; Schaaf, Libby; De La Fuente, Ignacio; Brooks, Desley; Reid, Larry; Kaplan, Rebecca A safe, sane and positive end to Occupy Oakland: You could make it happen.
To my City's leaders: Today, Andrew Breitbart, a right wing media flack, has decided to make Occupy Oakland the whipping boy for the entire national movement. All it took was one altercation between the media and the protesters, and we are now potentially looking at Oakland being the centerpiece of the right's dismissal and condemnation of the Occupy Wall Street phenomenon. Part of the reason this happened is because of some of the subcultures present in Oakland. We have a strong history here of radical and militant activism, and we have multiple well organized Anarchist collectives in Oakland that want to see revolution rather than reform. I believe that this tradition and it's adherents may be responsible for the attitude that led to aggression towards the press. It doesn't have to be this way. In addition to the militant tradition, Oakland has some of the strongest and best organized unions in the country, and we are also home to a tightly-knit community of progressive non-profits. On a local level, these groups are sometimes in conflict. But as far as beliefs about national politics go, I believe that our local unions and nonprofits are usually very much in accord. Our non-profits and unions are very well organized, and each of you has good connections to them. On City Hall Plaza at the moment, there seems to be an internal conflict among the occupiers. The broadest factional division I can see is one between radicals and reformers. Last night, the radicals won out. But this is an ongoing process, and every night the occupiers hold a general assembly at the same time, and every night anyone present is free to speak, to propose motions, and to vote. The rules established give no attendee greater rights than any other. That presents an opportunity. Here is my suggestion on how to ensure occupation ends peacefully and on a positive note: Urge your contacts in the non-profits and unions to organize, to show up to the general assemblies regularly, and in numbers. Urge them to put forth proposals to the general assembly that focus on the following: 1. Respect for public safety and public health. 2. Mutual respect and understanding between protesters and first responders, including police. 3. Solidarity with the national push for progressive taxation, banking reform, and electoral reform. I believe that these three points are non-controversial enough that Oakland's non-militant progressive community can agree on them. I believe that keeping it simple is imperative. Expand much further, and we'll just get more cacophony. I believe between everyone I've addressed this email to, there are strong enough community connections to successfully rally turn-out to the Occupy Oakland general assembly on an ongoing basis. I also do not believe
113
that this using those connections would be an act of "astroturf", because the points I outlined above are not controversial. And I believe that if nobody in Oakland's leadership steps in and pushes this idea with our local progressives, over time, the militant faction on the plaza will wear down the resolve of the reformers, and create an entrenched majority. If that happens, I predict trouble. Should it become necessary to displace the protesters in the interest of public safety, it could get very ugly. When the rainy season hits, the mud and standing water that will form on the lawn will create enough of a disease vector by itself to force the City to displace the protesters. Time will eventually force an end to the occupation. But you, as leaders, can have a hand in how that end comes to pass. Lastly, I would suggest that any local progressive leaders and groups you ask to show up to the Occupy Oakland General Assembly be urged to speak as individuals. Likewise, all of you who are reading this should consider speaking as individuals, using only your first names and not your titles. In addressing a populist movement, I think you'll be far better received if you identify as being no different than anyone else who is there. Don't even tell them where you live or who you are. Just tell them what you think of the movement and what you think the movement should do. That's about all I have to say. Our city's reputation and public safety are at risk. As our leaders, you have an opportunity to create a positive outcome. Act now, or react later.
Sincerely, Max Allstadt
PS: As I was finishing up this letter, by coincidence, the Tribune published this piece by Scott Johnson: http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_19150644 The teacher who was assaulted is an acquaintance of mine. I also am confident that Johnson is not sensationalizing this story. It's pretty ugly down there already. Please create a gracious and safe end to it all.

I am writing to you and the mayor to ask that you stop any further movement on their part to occupy Stow Park. The Charter Schools in the area use this park as an excersize area for their kids which, is unfortunate. These schools are stuck in whatever empty hole they can find which does not include space for a gym or playground. My concern is a health issue for the kids. Geese use the grasses for food and leave behind poop. Dog owners let their dog illegally run and poop in the grass. The kids run and do pushups in this poop infested grass and now we have the tent people without a means of sanitation in the park. All I ask is that you move the Occupy Wall Street people back to Civic Center or some other place away from the kids. Also, I ask that you look into getting a proper place for the Charter Schools to use for a gym. To my knowledge the park may eventually have a highrise built on this property and then the kids will lose this for a gym/playground. Please investigate this situation for the health of the kids.

Hi Fred and Gregory, Pat and I stayed at the Port for several hours after this mornings meeting and have come up with a proposed approach for TIGER III. Here is the framework we are proposing for applying for these funds:
120
1. Although the project we describe is in the context of the entire One

Vision, One Project, One Team context, the actual work we will be seeking TIGER III funding for will take place solely on Agency/City property; The work will include the Maritime Street utility corridor, a re-alignment of Burma Road with a utility corridor, and site preparation of our East, Central, West, and North Gateway Areas; The total project cost is estimated at around $184 million with a combination of Agency ($32M), TCIF ($92), private ($20) and DOT $(40) funds to support it; We should ask for $40 million; The Agency/City will be the applicant; The Port will pay AECOM to prepare the application for us; Pat Cashman as the Army Base Project Manager will be our primary point person for this grant application process and should run everything through the chain of command; Toni Horst at AECOM is his primary point of contact, although John Barna will also be intimately involved given his depth of knowledge about these types of projects and TCIF; and Of course the rest of the Army Base Team is available to provide any assistance needed.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
With respect to the TCIF allocation, we discussed which entity is best positioned to take advantage of and manage it. John Barna strongly recommends it be transferred to the Agency/City and the Port staff did not disagree. There was discussion of how this might be accomplished. The Port would lay the ground work at a December CTC meeting, at which they must request time extensions to their baseline agreements. At that meeting, the Port would indicate that, due to economic conditions, it was unable to deliver the required matching capital but that the Agency and its private partners wanted to carry the project forward. I think this covers most of the key points. Thank you. Al

Dear City Councilwoman Brunner, I am really disappointed in seeing you interviewed on the news tonight telling the reporter it is a good idea to allow the campers to stay in Frank Ogawa Plaza. I have formed a neighborhood watch group in my neighborhood because of robberies and vandalism where our police officers cannot get up to the hills to take reports or respond to alarms. Our police force is in stress, with interim leadership, city public works is under funded and we have a conflicted city leader that was caught flat footed when Chief Batts resigned (Mayor Quan). Our family moved here 2 years ago and I am very dismayed at how poorly managed this City is so far in our short time living here. If we have SO many problems and financial dilemmas - why would you allow another mini-city to sprout up (illegally) that we have to clean up after, put police around to protect bystanders and allow marijuana usage and food preparation on public property? I think the city elected officials will all have to answer for this decision to allow 2 encampments in Oakland on public lands (I just learned a new tent city is down at Lake Merritt). Why is there no firm leadership in this City? You represent my district and I am very angry that this area is not considered when you let our resources (and our tax dollars) be spent on a new city within a city! We pay a great amount of taxes to Oakland to help your operating budget and we are currently being asked to vote for a parcel tax. Why would I vote for this tax when you make horrible and illegal decisions on how to spend our money? I want you to know I am asking you to stand up against this current policy decision Mayor Jean Quan, and other politicians in Oakland, have decided to back. There is illegal activity going on there; why would you allow that and also let our thinly stretched police force divert their resources to the plaza and park on Lake Merritt? This is so upsetting to our common sense and to our safety up here in the hills. Sincerely, Monica Steinberger 1582 Grand View Dr., Berkeley, (really Oakland) 94705

Please read the article link below. http://www.insidebayarea.com/twitter/ci_19150648 There are clearly dangerous conditions that exist and are increasing at the "camp." The longer you allow this to continue, the harder and more dangerous it will be to get these people to leave. Had you taken the approach by many other cities, and prevented the people from staying overnight in the first place, none of this would be happening. Aside from the obvious public safety issues, you are opening up the City to a myriad of liability claims, including dangerous condition of public property. Moreover, when the police are inevitably required to forcibly remove the campers, there will be the standard claims of personal injury and police brutality, all costing us taxpayers additional unnecessary expense. Given the scarcity of police resources, as well as other resources that must be brought to bear to defend against potential claims, both frivolous and valid, you must shut this camp down ASAP. By the way, this email would be discoverable in any subsequent lawsuit alleging that you had notice about the dangers involved and failed to act. Marleen L. Sacks

He had to be driving at least 80 mph, and slammed into to parked cars. I was walking my dogs five minutes earlier. Cars just fly down Coolidge at high speeds,and children live on the block, my six year old included. Why can't we get speed bumps/ rumble strips installed? I've been told it's because of bus line. How can we make this happen? Someone is going to be killed. Please help. Also the wrecked cars are still there, who's responsible for the clean up?

White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Local Update

In this week's issue Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster offers his thoughts on Commerce Secretary nominee John Bryson, the President kicks off the American Jobs Act Bus Tour, Attorneys General urge the confirmation of Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and the White House releases the Pathways to Opportunity report on helping low-income communities.

Mayors Support John Bryson for Commerce Secretary

At a time when the nation is focused on jobs, we need a Commerce Secretary who knows American business - a leader who has led a company through crisis, created jobs and has a firsthand understanding of the challenges facing US companies. And that's exactly the experience that President Obama's nominee John Bryson has. Mayor Bob Foster of Long Beach, California tells us about his friend John Bryson: "John Bryson is an excellent choice for Secretary of Commerce. I have known John for more than 30 years as a person of impeccable integrity with a strong sense of public service. John and I worked together at Edison International. He was a unique CEO at Edison in that he always made sure business success did not mean a disregard for the environment or social progress. Under his leadership, Edison developed the largest portfolio of renewable energy in the country and made energy efficiency as one of its top priorities. Its an unusual business practice for a company to spend millions on reducing the use of its product, but John understood that it was in the best interest for customers, California, and the company to reduce electrical use. His strong sense of social purpose helped Edison become an environmental leader with a worldwide reputation. John is the kind of person you need in business today. He understands the need for profit but he also knows that success should include environmental sustainability and good corporate citizenship." In addition, the U.S. Conference of Mayors spoke out about John Bryson, urging his confirmation in a letter to Senate leaders: "Mr. Bryson brings a wealth of experience from both the public and private sectors that will help create jobs and make America more competitive in the global economy. Most importantly, he knows that the private sector is the engine for job creation. As local leaders, we know that John Bryson can encourage economic growth, help provide jobs for our residents, and forge a direct connection with Mayors and the needs of our cities. He knows how to get the job done with fewer resources. He knows how to manage and lead under pressure. He is the ideal candidate to become Commerce Secretary." You can read more from voices ranging from the COO of Facebook to the former Treasury Secretary John Snow on why John Bryson should be our next Commerce Secretary.
President Obama Kicks Off the American Jobs Act Bus Tour
President Barack Obama holds a roundtable meeting with teachers at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, N.C., during the American Jobs Act Bus Tour, Oct. 18, 2011. (Official White House Photo by Lawrence Jackson) On Monday, President Obama kicked off the American Jobs Act Bus Tour to talk to communities about the pieces of the American Jobs Act that will put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working. While on the road, the President spoke about some of the important numbers contained in the American Jobs Act:
The American Jobs Act provides a tax credit incentive for businesses to employ veterans to help encourage hiring and make it easier for America's heroes to find jobs when they return home. And the tax credit rises to $9,600 for hiring veterans who also have service-connected disabilities.
The American Jobs Act will invest in retrofitting at least 35,000 public schools across the country, supporting new science labs, Internet-ready classrooms and school renovations in both rural and urban communities. These investments will help give American students the edge they need to prepare for the 21st century economy and compete with students from around the world.
The American Jobs Act includes an immediate investment in employing construction workers to restore 150 miles of runway at American airports and put in place a next-generation airtraffic control system to reduce travel time and delays. You can find more Jobs Act by the Numbers, state-by-state fact sheets and FAQs for local officials at www.whitehouse.gov/jobsnow.
Attorneys General Urge Cordray Confirmation to Lead Consumer Finance Protection Bureau
On Tuesday, The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) sent a letter signed by 37 state and territorial Attorneys General to the U.S. Senate supporting the nomination of former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). As the letter states: "We are Attorneys General from across the country who represent a wide range of political interests. Some of us may disagree with aspects of the Dodd-Frank legislation. But we are united in our belief that Mr. Cordray is very well qualified to carry out the responsibilities of this position."

Creating Pathways to Opportunity for All Americans

On Friday, the White House released Creating Pathways to Opportunity, a report that highlights steps the Administration has taken to create opportunity for all Americans. The President has fought repeatedly for policies to help more Americans climb the ladder to the middle class including the Recovery Act, which helped increase employment by up to 3.5 million workers at the end of 2010 and kept more than six million Americans above the poverty line in 2009, and the December 2010 tax package that continued the expansion of the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, which will benefit nearly 16 million families with 29 million children. The Presidents actions have made a significant impact on low-income communities in five areas: Rewarding Work. From putting more money in the pockets of working families to investing in initiatives to help workers remain connected to the workforce and gain new skills, the President has made historic reforms to reward work. The President secured the Making Work Pay tax credit in 2009 and 2010 and then a payroll tax cut that amounted to a 2 percent raise for working Americans in 2011. In addition, the President secured historic expansions in refundable tax credits for low-income families and through the Recovery Act, over 260,000 adults and youth were placed in subsidized jobs and an additional 367,000 low-income youth received summer employment. Reforming Americas Education System. To further empower Americans in their climb out of poverty and into the middle class, the President has made historic investments and reforms in education from cradle to career from launching a $500 million fund focused on improving state early learning systems to doubling the funding available for Pell Grants for low-income students. The Obama Administration has also secured $40 million over the past two years to develop the Promise Neighborhoods initiative modeled off of the Harlem Childrens Zone to provide communities with the cradle through college continuum of services. Health Security for American Families. The President has also taken historic steps to ensure greater access to health care for the neediest Americans. Within a month of taking office, the President signed the Childrens Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act into law, expanding health coverage to more than 4 million lowincome children who would otherwise go uninsured. And because of the Affordable Care Act, 34 million Americans will become insured by 2021 as a result of provisions expanding Medicaid coverage for adults up to 133 percent of the poverty level. Indeed, the Affordable Care Act is already working to expand coverage: nearly one million more young adults have gained access to health insurance because of this critical new law. Investment in Small Business and Community Development. The President has also consistently supported investments in small businesses that in turn invest in lowincome communities. Through measures like the Small Business Jobs Act, the President has signed into law 17 small business tax cuts, established new initiatives to expand access to credit, and enhanced SBA lending programs. Mitigating the Impact of the Housing Crisis. When the President took office in January of 2009, the housing market had seen major losses for 30 straight months, slashing home equity in half which combined with the recession left many communities struggling economically. To begin rebuilding our housing market and economy, the President jump-started mortgage loan modifications, which help to keep families in their homes. More than 4 million families have had their mortgages permanently modified since April, 2009 nearly twice the number of foreclosures which occurred in that time. And to help over 1 million Americans avoid homelessness, the President
9
provided $1.5 billion through the Recovery Act for the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program. You can read the full report online and find out more about how the Administration's efforts are making an impact in low-income communities.

While I support some of what I think Occupy Wall Street stands for (by their own admission, their platform is unclear and uncohesive) I don't understand what allowing them to now camp at two locations in Oakland will do for anyone's cause. I keep hearing that Mayor Quan hasn't seen problems with this yet. I work across from Snow Park, and I can tell you a few are beginning. 1/ From our vantage point across the street, that poor park is barely maintained as it is. The putting green is ruined, there are extensive leaks or some type of flooding all around the area. The grass is trying to survive as best it can. The goose droppings can't be healthy to lie around and in, and they are extensive. 2/ Lots of school children use the park for morning exercise and other activities. Not cool to have marijuana smoke inhaled by young lungs as the students run their morning laps. 3/ Yesterday afternoon smoke starting wafting across our windows from outdoor cooking at the camp. That is cooking right near many large trees, lots of ivy, and a whole mess of debris behind the fence of the property intended for a 30+story boondoggle that hopefully will never be built. Considering this is the 20th anniversary of the Oakland fire, and it's going to get warmer these next few days, flame in a park does not sound like a great idea. 4/ If Oakland could afford any of this, I'd feel a little better. But we all know Oakland can't. I wish Oakland could create jobs for those looking to make the park nicer, and reduce the potholes, and work as police and teachers and etc., but that's not in the cards right now. What, for example, will it cost to deal with the rats now entering the City Hall camp. I can only imagine the wildlife that will find it's way to Snow Park once it smells dinner. Spending money we don't have to clean up messes and potential dangers just doesn't seem prudent when they can be avoided at the front end. As I wrote above, I keep hearing that Mayor Quan hasn't seen problems with this yet. I just wanted you to know that some of the tax paying homeowners and small business owners and employers and residents have. And considering the bad press the parcel tax is getting, it's important to show that funds barely there are being spent in a more prudent fashion.

Tuesday October 25, 2011 from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM Today is the Last Day to Register!
We're a little less than a week away from this year's Principal for a Day event! This year, however, we are attempting to take a look beyond the event and lay the groundwork to help facilitate this year's theme: Principals Connecting for Good. The "for Good" part of this theme has double meaning: 1. to work together to support the education of all students of the Oakland Schools and 2. to create lasting, substantive partnerships for the long haul because we all know meaningful change doesn't happen overnight and requires commitment and persistence in the face of challenges. This year, as convener of the PFAD, the Marcus Foster Education Fund (MFEF) commits to facilitating a conversation addressing the following questions at the luncheon:
How can PFAD serve the implementation of the District's strategic plan, particularly the Full Services Community School approach of meeting the needs of the whole child?
How best can MFEF help to establish meaningful and sustainable partnerships between interested and engaged community members in communities and schools?
21
Can PFAD serve as a launch point for raising the funds to support effective practices that may be replicated and modeled across the district?
We also want you to come prepared to respond to these and other queries needed to create partnerships that have meaning for schools and community. The staff and board of MFEF and the Oakland Unified School District encourage you to participate in this landmark event and be a part of the dialogue to deepen existing partnerships between Oakland Public Schools and community. Please make the time to attend the luncheon where we will start this important conversation. Thank you if you have already registered, but if you have not, please register today.

This weekend meet the newest members of our family. When they were cubs, Grace, Ginger, Molly, and Milou were part of a traveling animal show, where guests could pay twenty dollars to have their photos taken with real tiger cubs. Pulled prematurely, these tigers should have stayed with their mothers through the first two years of their lives. A custody battle between the divorced owners left the four tigers neglected.

Luckily, the USDA rescued the then 20-month old sisters from their predicament, and set them up at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas. However, the zoo had little room for the growing tigers, and were desperate to find a permanent home for these beautiful animals. In September, thanks to the work of many volunteers and several corporate sponsors, these four tigers were flown from Texas to their new forever home here at the Oakland Zoo.

Palm oil is in many products, from crackers to soap. The oil palm plant grows mainly in Borneo and Sumatra, home to tigers, sun bears, elephants, and orangutans. Sadly, the industry poses a threat to these species, as much of it uses deforestation practices that greatly threaten their delicate habitat.

Each time you visit the animals at the Oakland Zoo, you will be helping animals in the wild. The Oakland Zoo has launched a new initiative called Quarters for Conservation, which will dramatically enhance our ability to support wildlife conservation. You, our members and visitors, will be part of this exciting evolution in conservation. How it Works Each time you visit the Zoo a twenty-five cent conservation donation will be contributed in support of several Oakland Zoo conservation projects. You will then receive a special voting token. This token can be taken to the conservation station in Flamingo Plaza and used to choose a conservation project that inspires you. Your vote will determine how much funding will go to each project. Quarters are also accepted. This year the three projects are Chimpanzees in Uganda (The Budongo Snare Removal Project), Elephants in Kenya (The Amboseli

Trust for Elephants) and Condors in California (The Ventana Wildlife Society).

Please see the attached for immediate release.
AC Transit Awarded More than $6.6 Million in Dept. of Transportation Funding

Funds will go towards improving elevators, buildings and management technology AC Transit today announced that it has been awarded $6,677,074 in Department of Transportation funds to help upgrade facilities and equipment. The funding comes from the Federal Transit Administrations State of Good Repair program, which seeks to ensure the continued safety and integrity of Americas bus and rail systems through projects to maintain infrastructure, manage information and innovatively finance public transportation systems. AC Transit Interim General Manager Mary King called the grant extremely good news, particularly at a time when funding for public transit is so difficult to obtain. This grant will allow us to make some critical capital improvements and repairs, King said. We will now be able to replace elevators, upgrade our facilities to meet environmental standards, and develop an asset management database to more effectively track the condition of the agencys facilities and equipment. This reduces the need for costly emergency repairs and major rehabilitation, and minimizes the drain on our operating budget which helps to ensure more bus services for the public. King also thanked Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), who was equally gratified after helping to secure the funding for the agency. This grant award is wonderful news for my constituents and for all of those that rely on AC Transit for its vital services, said Lee. Im pleased that AC Transit will receive these critical funds to make necessary upgrades that will ensure its environmental sustainability and advance its technological capabilities. I strongly support continued and robust investment in public transportation systems like AC Transit that provide sustainable and affordable transportation services, and are often the sole form of transit for low-income communities. -30-

Dear members and allies: Please take a moment out of your day to help keep people housed! Tomorrow, the U.S. Senate is considering the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Act. This act includes deep cuts to housing, including the HOME program, which helps preserve and build affordable housing for low-income Californians, seniors, working families and people with special needs. Please tell the Senate that a cut of $600 million will have dire consequences for real people who need housing. Email Christine Epres, Legislative Assistant for housing issues, in Senator Feinstein's Office TODAY to ask that the Senator oppose deep cuts to this crucial program in tomorrow's vote. We have made this quick and easy by providing text for the email below - simply cut and paste the text below into your email message, add information about your organization, and send to christine_epres@feinstein.senate.gov.. It is that simple - and incredibly important. If Christine receives a flood of emails from us today about the importance of this program to our work, it will send a powerful message to encourage the Senator to oppose cuts to HOME. Please feel free to contact Gabriella Chiarenza at Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California with questions at gabriella@nonprofithousing.org. Thank you for your rapid action on this important vote! ---------------TEXT FOR EMAIL: christine_epres@feinstein.senate.gov

RE: Ask the Senator to Oppose Cuts to the HOME Program in Tomorrow's THUD Appropriations Act Vote!

Dear Ms. Epres, As you know, tomorrow Senator Feinstein will cast her vote on the FY 2012 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Act, S. 1596. As approved by the Senate THUD Appropriations Subcommittee on September 21st, this Act authorizes damaging cuts to critically important housing programs, including the HOME program, which would be cut by more than a third for FY 2012. [Insert your organization's name here] respectfully requests that you ask the Senator to oppose any deep cuts to the HOME program in tomorrow's vote. [Add information about your organization or personal story here.] The HOME program is crucial to the production and preservation of affordable homes in California and, in turn, has a powerful positive impact on the lives of lower-income Californians. The program has invested $3.2 billion, and supported the creation of 140,252 affordable units for low- and moderate-income households. Please encourage Senator Feinstein to protect the HOME program and other critically important housing programs by opposing the devastating cuts proposed in S. 1596.

Tell Congress to Extend Unemployment Insurance

Dear Jean, Almost two million out-of-work Americans will lose their federal unemployment insurance in January - and millions more later in 2012 -- if Congress does not renew the benefits before they expire Dec. 31. A new report by the National Employment Law Project1 shows that if we don't act soon, 305,400 people in CA will lose their unemployment insurance and slip into poverty. Millions are struggling to find work in an economy wrecked by Wall Street. Will you help by asking Congress to extend unemployment benefits? Nearly seven million Americans are currently surviving on modest unemployment insurance benefits. Over three million people are one unemployment insurance check away from falling into poverty. If we cut the last thread keeping these families in the middle class, it wont just hurt them. It will worsen the housing crisis because more people will be unable to afford their mortgages. It will worsen the retail economy and force small businesses to close because even more American families will be unable buy food or clothes for their kids or pay the heating bill. If Congress doesn't act right now, 1.8 million workers will be cut off in the month of January alone Merry Christmas America, you get another recession in your stocking. Don't let it happen. Please help by telling Congress to extend unemployment benefits now. America's job crisis isn't going away, and the last thing we need are more people in poverty. Sincerely, Drew Hudson USAction / TrueMajority P.S. - have you seen? USAction has a whole new look at our website www.usaction.org. Stop by and let us know what you think!

Long story, but the Port has agreed that the City of Oakland should be the applicant. The application will be characterized as Restoring the Working Waterfront. It will be a $40 million ask for a backbone infrastructure project of +/- $184 million. The other funds will be comprised of Oakland Redevelopment $32M, Private +/- $20M, and the matching $92M TCIF. The independent utility will be the restoration of the Oakland Army Base into the working waterfront it was for the fifty years it was operated by the Army. The construction of $184 in backbone infrastructure, road, utilities, wharfs, and site work will create the outcome of at least $160M in additional private investment for port-oriented logistics buildings, including two major export oriented recycling operations that will be relocated out of the adjacent residential community. There will be significant rail and break bulk handling infrastruture, creating the only deep water break bulk facility on the west coast (that may be hype?), supporting Secty La Hoods Marine (?) Highway Initiative. On the friendly side it will accommodate bike trails and car access to the park being planned at the foot of the new Bay Bridge. Please let me know what info I should assemble. We are already working on graphics, budgets, project descriptions, employment projectionsbut you should be telling us what and how to format it. Its timing critical because Mayor Quan is meeting with La Hood on Monday (please keep that just between us) and she will need the right material to make her pitch to the Secretary. Maisha will be attending and she hopes you can join them. Please contact her for the details. I look forward to working with you.

Hi Fred and Gregory, Pat and I stayed at the Port for several hours after this mornings meeting and have come up with a proposed approach for TIGER III. Here is the framework we are proposing for applying for these funds: 1. Although the project we describe is in the context of the entire One Vision, One Project, One Team context, the actual work we will be seeking TIGER III funding for will take place solely on Agency/City property; 2. The work will include the Maritime Street utility corridor, a re-alignment of Burma Road with a utility corridor, and site preparation of our East, Central, West, and North Gateway Areas; 3. The total project cost is estimated at around $184 million with a combination of Agency ($32M), TCIF ($92), private ($20) and DOT $(40) funds to support it; 4. We should ask for $40 million; 5. The Agency/City will be the applicant; 6. The Port will pay AECOM to prepare the application for us; 7. Pat Cashman as the Army Base Project Manager will be our primary point person for this grant application process and should run everything through the chain of command;
45
8. Toni Horst at AECOM is his primary point of contact, although John Barna will also be intimately involved given his depth of knowledge about these types of projects and TCIF; and 9. Of course the rest of the Army Base Team is available to provide any assistance needed. With respect to the TCIF allocation, we discussed which entity is best positioned to take advantage of and manage it. John Barna strongly recommends it be transferred to the Agency/City and the Port staff did not disagree. There was discussion of how this might be accomplished. The Port would lay the ground work at a December CTC meeting, at which they must request time extensions to their baseline agreements. At that meeting, the Port would indicate that, due to economic conditions, it was unable to deliver the required matching capital but that the Agency and its private partners wanted to carry the project forward. I think this covers most of the key points. Thank you. Al

Oakland Unified School District Press Advisory

For Immediate Release Frick Middle School to Celebrate Grand Opening of School-Based Health Center
OUSD Directors Chris Dobbins and Alice Spearman, Deputy Mayor Lewis Cohen and Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Director Alex Briscoe join the Frick Middle School community for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:00am, Friday, October 21 What: Frick Middle School Health Center Grand Opening When: Friday, October 21, 2011 at 10:00am Where: Frick Middle School, 2845 64th Avenue, Oakland, CA 94605 Contact: Troy Flint, 510.473.5832 or troy.flint@ousd.k12.ca.us
Oakland October 20, 2011 On Friday, October 21, The Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) will extend its
leadership position in providing on-site health care services to students, when it celebrates the grand opening of a schoolbased health center at the Frick Middle School campus. Key partners from Alameda County and the City of Oakland, as well as school site leaders, parents, students and community-based providers, will join in the 10:00am dedication of a facility offering comprehensive medical, mental health, health education and youth development services under one roof. Our mission is to help children acquire the academic skills and content knowledge, study skills, personal responsibility and resilience necessary for success in high school and beyond, said Frick Middle School Principal Jerome Gourdine. This school-based health clinic will aid in that mission by addressing many of the physical, social and emotional issues that can interfere with academic achievement. The Frick Health Center will be operated by the East Bay Agency for Children, an Oakland-based organization that has provided behavioral health services on the Frick campus for many years. Service delivery will be supported by funds established by Kaiser Permanente at the East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF). The seed funding for the Frick Health Center was initially awarded to the City of Oakland in 2008 by Kaiser Permanente through EBCF, a partnership that generously supports health and wellness programming in Oakland schools. Continued funding will be provided by Kaiser Permanente through the partnership. Kaiser Permanente's support of the Frick Health Center and nine other Oakland Unified School District school-based health centers is part of the organization's $7.5 million, three-year investment in Oakland's schools, which began in November 2010. The number of school health centers has continued to grow, despite our weak economy, because schools, providers and communities know that supporting healthy children is a smart investment. In 2000, California had 108 school health centers; today, there are 183, explained Serena Clayton, Executive Director of the California School Health Centers
49
Association, noting that Alameda County is recognized nationally for using creative strategies and partnerships to grow the school-based health center initiative and Oakland Unified now has nine such centers in operation districtwide, and will have a total of 15 by the end of the year. The Oakland Unified School District has been at the forefront of this growth by engaging local partners, tapping local resources such as facilities bonds, and applying for government and philanthropic grants, Clayton continued. Oakland's leaders place a high value on the fact that a school is the institution that touches almost all children. If we want to make sure that children and youth get health care, it just makes sense to put health care where they are -- at school. At the same time, by increasing access to health care, we are ensuring that young people are healthy and ready to learn. Frick, located in the heart of East Oakland, strives to address the varied needs of its diverse student body and school community. The middle school, which already places great emphasis on developing a strong, healthy and nurturing school culture, will now be well-equipped to address the holistic needs of students. East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC) is excited to lead the Frick School Based Health Center, in partnership with the Native American Health Center, Oakland Unified School District and Alameda County Health Care Services, said Steve Eckert, EBACs Executive Director. EBAC has long provided mental health services at Frick and the school based health center builds on our history and school relationships, consistent with our agency vision: "Building brighter futures and stronger communities." Native American Health Center (NAHC), a Federally Qualified Health Center headquartered in the Fruitvale District of Oakland, has signed on to provide the medical component. NAHC is a local leader in school-based health care, as the lead agency for two other SBHCs in Oakland, on the Calvin Simmons (United for Success and Life Academy) and Skyline campuses, as well as a number of other sites in the City of Alameda. The large expansion of school-based health centers in Oakland between 2010 and 2012, from seven campuses to a planned total of 15, embodies OUSDs transformation into a Full-Service Community District, where schools leverage community partnerships to improve academic, physical, social and emotional outcomes for students. Healthy communities are a prerequisite for healthy kids and strong schools, so its essential that we address the conditions in our city which interfere with the development of children, explained OUSD Superintendent Tony Smith. In order to dramatically improve outcomes for students, we must create environments where high-levels of learning and social growth can flourish. Comprehensive, school-based health centers represent a significant step in OUSDs transformation into a Full-Service Community School District, where schools that care for the whole child serve as an anchor for the neighborhoods which they serve. Fricks facility was renovated with voter-approved Measure B Facilities Bond Dollars administered by OUSD. The resulting space includes two medical exam rooms, a laboratory, three confidential consult rooms, a school nurses office, and a conference room to hold workshops and conduct youth development programs. The effort to establish school-based health centers throughout OUSD is one of the largest interagency partnerships in Alameda County and demonstrates the type of public-private partnership needed to improve outcomes for Oaklands children. Alameda County funds universal access to behavioral health services at Frick through Measure A funding and an Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) contract. Alameda County has been investing in schoolbased health centers as a key school health improvement strategy since 1996 and sustains core funding for many of Oaklands school-based health centers through Measure A and Tobacco Master Settlement Funds (TMSF). School based health centers are a proven model of public sector collaboration. They have helped us define the nexus of public health and public education, stated Alex Briscoe, Director of Alameda County Health Care Services Agency. School-based health centers are also an entrepreneurial and innovative approach to social justice and health equity, with a large percentage of the operating budgets of SBHCs generated by billing third party-payers. This aggressive pursuit of outside revenues for school based services is critical as schools struggle with ongoing challenges to their fiscal viability. Over the next month, Oakland will also celebrate the completion of four additional school-based health centers located at Skyline High School (Native American Health Center), Elmhurst Middle School (LifeLong Medical Care), as well as West Oakland Middle School (LifeLong Medical Care) and the Havenscourt campus (La Clnica de La Raza), which are part of the Elev8 Initiative funded by Atlantic Philanthropies, another key partner in the school-based health center expansion.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER MARY HAYASHI PARTICIPATES IN THE GREAT CALIFORNIA SHAKEOUT DRILL IN HAYWARD
Assemblymember Mary Hayashi (D-Hayward) joined federal, state and local agencies at Hayward City Hall this morning to take part in the 4th Annual Great California Shakeout Drill in an effort to create greater awareness about earthquake preparedness and provide an opportunity for our public safety officials to practice their emergency response plans. This statewide drill involved more than 8.5 million Californians learning how to Drop, Cover and Hold On during an earthquake. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), residents living in the Bay Area have a 62% chance of experiencing an earthquake of 6.7 magnitude or greater within the next 30 years. There is also a 31% chance that the earthquakes epicenter will occur on the Hayward Rodgers Creek fault line that slices through the East Bay. Preparation for an earthquake and practicing your immediate response during an earthquake are essential for the safety of you and your family. The State of California is firmly committed to helping residents be prepared and minimize the fears and challenges that come with such disasters. Along with supporting educational efforts like todays Great Shakeout, the State offers earthquake preparedness tips and guidance for individuals, families, schools, and businesses through the California Emergency Management Agency. Assemblymember Mary Hayashi also offers an earthquake preparedness guide that can be accessed on her website, or by calling her district office at (510) 583-8818.
53
Assemblymember Mary Hayashi, American Red Cross, Federal Emergency Management Agency, California Emergency Management Agency, and the Hayward Fire Department presented the following three important steps for all Californians to take during an earthquake:
1. DROP to the ground. 2. Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table. 3. HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.
It is important to discuss and practice these response steps with your family, coworkers, and neighbors prior to a disaster of such magnitude. With advance-planning, we can minimize the impact of any damage that may occur and keep our loved ones safe. Together, we can prevail through challenging times.

GEORGE PHILLIPS.. YOU'RE ADDING TO MY EMOTIONAL DISTRESS... WHAT IS THE HOLD UP WITH THE SIMPLEST FIXES IN OPD???
It's now the 19th and I STILL HAVE YET TO EVEN HAVE THE SIMPLE ISSUES RESOLVED... HOWARD JORDAN, Why is it taking soo long to follow up and follow through with even the simplest issue you were to resolve back on 9/27??? As you already are aware, I have several valid complaints of negligence, dishonesty, reckless behaviors against Sgt. George Phillips and although he has made "significant progress" on the case (which I just found on on 9/27), he has cause me and my family an indescribable amount of irreparable emotional damage.. Not only did he compromise my safety and My/ Daddy's business by violating a court order (because he didn't do his research) by bringing the person who is responsible for Daddy's Murder & who's also made death threats and had her affiliates come after me in a car chase to my place of business without notifying me, not following proper procedure.... But because of Sgt. Phillips reckless & negligent behaviors in not following proper procedure and blatantly lied, I now have to see and hear about others seeing The Truck (THAT I HELD THE PHYSICAL PINK SLIP FOR, IN ADDITION AM THE EXECUTOR OF THE TRUST/ RESPONSIBLE FOR) anywhere from Richmond to Oakland, damn near every day and we lost that strong memory of our father, BECAUSE OF GEORGE PHILLIPS.. Because of Sgt. George Phillips and his lack of returning simple phone calls when I called him in distress the night of the car chase, and even more recently when I received death threats and pleaded to him and your office for help and to trace calls, he treated me with low priority and with the email response he sent, Even SAN LEANDRO PD CONFIRMED HE WAS GIVING ME THE "OUTRIGHT BRUSH OFF TREATMENT" and because of all of the stress when he couldn't even do the simplest things, I lost my child in miscarriage a short time after (BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS.. NOT DADDY'S DEATH.. BUT GEORGE)....
56
Even my mother called me and asked me to relay and she also wrote a letter requesting that there be another form of contact because of the critical amount of emotional distress it causes my brother to even talk to him or hear his voice, because he's just as effected and that truck was supposed to go to HIM (for ME to administer to him once it was cleared)..... I CAN'T EVEN STAND HEARING HIS VOICE, LITERALLY.... I am so full of rage/ upset with Sgt. George Phillips it's not even funny, for how he mishandled things, lied & was reckless and I don't ever want to talk to him again. But as issues come up, I have no choice but to call him and leave messages and/or email BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RESOLVE THE SIMPLEST REQUEST THAT YOU AGREED TO..... DO YOU REALIZE THE EFFECT YOU ARE CAUSING?????????? I MEAN REALLY????? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU AND PHILLIPS AND ALL OF THIS UNNECESSARY CRAP THAT I NOW HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE A THERAPIST BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF STRESS CAUSED THAT COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDABLE IF YOU HAD JUST DONE YOUR JOBS, FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURE, TELL THE TRUTH AND DO THE RIGHT THING... IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU, PHILLIPS AND YOUR DEPARTMENT THAT I HAVE TO SEE A THERAPIST TO GET MY STRESS UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE I LOST ALL OF DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING OF MY DAD FROM THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT AND NOT JUST TAKING TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PROTECT AND SERVE!!!!!!!!!! BUT FOR ALL I STATED IN THE MEETING AND IT WAS APPARENT THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE YOU AGREED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, YOU HAVEN'T DONE A THING... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PURPOSELY DRAG YOUR FEET TO MAKE THINGS HARD ON ME, BUT LET ME TELL YOU, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF OTHERS, IF THAT IS YOUR INTENT... Since My Father's Murder, as My Brother is physically and mentally disabled, EVERYTHING HAS FALLEN ON MY SHOULDERS N WITH THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MURDER BECAUSE SHE WANTED HIM TO PURPOSELY DECOMPOSE AS EVEN THE FUNERAL HOME CONFIRMED 1ST HAND.... IT'S ONLY ME WHO IS KEEPING THE BUSINESS RUNNING AND PAYING FOR ALL THESE LEGAL PROJECTS NOT JUST FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT BUT OTHER AS I HAVE NO CHOICE IN BEING PLACED AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE TRUST.. EVEN NOW, AS DADDY WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TO PRIMARILY KEEP MY BROTHER IN CHECK, MAINTAIN ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS SINCE MY BROTHER IS MENTALLY INCOMPETENT, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE CONSERVATORSHIP OVER MY BROTHER BECAUSE HIS LIFE HAS FALLEN APART AND NO ONE ELSE IS CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF HIM... SO ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE HELP AND IF YOU'RE TRULY SORRY FOR MY LOSS, YOU'D DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB & TUCK YOUR EGO IN YOUR BACK POCKET.. As My Father left both My Brother & I life insurance, Sgt. Phillips already cleared us back in May... Since then, unbeknownst to me, there is an additional policy in which the Insurance Agency located both me and my brother.. As they sent a form for Phillips to fill out, he returned the form, showing the case is still open (which is to be expected), but showed no indication that I, nor my brother are cleared. He already knows me and my brother have nothing to do with what ever happened to Daddy... Howard, since you STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THAT SIMPLE REQUEST, as my brother contacted me last week, I left a message for George to please contact the insurance people and correct. If there is something that I'm not aware of, please let me know... Didn't hear a word from (which I didn't want to hear anyways)... I sent a follow up email yesterday and no word.. I was contacted by the Life Insurance Agency this morning, as well as my brother and left another message for Phillips and I REALLY CAN'T TAKE EVEN HEARING ON VOICEMAIL (I will never forgive him for some of the shyt he pulled).. But there is no response.. The request doesn't take but less than 3 minutes to complete and not that hard.. Now my guess for you, Howard, is because I struck a chord with your ego at the meeting, your purposely dragging your feet (which you intently made clear with an uncooperative response towards the end of the meeting) to try to make me suffer..... For George, since I started the Hell Storm and Complaint Process with Him since June (after I found out about the Truck) and bringing wrath, he's probably doing the same.... It may have been a simple fix, but judging how you and him carried yourselves, so far, I say his behavior is intent.... The sooner situations get resolved, the sooner I'll get off of your cases... PLEASE FIND AN ALTERNATE CONTACT BECAUSE I REALLY CANNOT STAND HEARING SGT. PHILLIPS VOICE, NOR CAN MY BROTHER & I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM, DIRECTLY.....
57
ALSO, CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE HIM RESPOND TO THE EMAIL I SENT YESTERDAY IN RESOLVING WITH THAT QUICK FIX FOR THE LIFE INSURANCE, (WHICH HE ALREADY DID FOR THE PREVIOUS COMPANY) OR SOMEONE FROM YOUR OFFICE (BESIDES HIM) LET ME KNOW STATUS??? THANKS IN ADVANCE AND ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU TURN TABLES AND LIVE LIFE THROUGH MY EYES AND THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY I'M SO UPSET, DISGUSTED & MAD AS A HORNET WITH HOW EVERYTHING IS BEING TREATED, HOWARD..

This is a follow up from The email I sent to you, dated 9/30/2011, after our meeting on 9/27/2011. It is now 10/17/2011 and I still have yet to hear a response directly from you... Although you are Interim Chief (until OPD finds a permanent placement), I understand you have assistants.. However, as I met DIRECTLY WITH YOU in addressing issues on 9/27/2011 and you made several inaccurate statements, was to resolve the request to find an alternate method contact/ correspondence due to the irreparable & extreme emotional distress caused with any type of communication by Sgt. George Phillips, correcting the blatant lie you told in trying to cover for him, in addition to you following up with the outstanding issue of the property access rights/ coordination, I expect to hear DIRECTLY from you and have not heard ONE RESPONSE, FOLLOW UP, CORRECTION OR OTHER... With as much time that's gone by and you knew you messed in the meeting by not being prepared and lied and tried to brush things off, it just seems that you really don't care about your job, nor your department, or you're just too comfortable in your position thinking you can get away with anything... That's a sad frame of mind either way, so I'm going to ask once again as I initially did on 9/27 & 9/30, to correct your inaccurate statements, lie you told and follow through with what you said you were going to do.. Again, as I stopped your sentence in the beginning of the meeting because I already knew it was superficial and I stated that if you truly are sorry for my loss, you'd just do your job, making things easier for me.... So again, I ask Interim Chief, HOW TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS CONSISTENTLY HAVE SPOKEN DIFFERENT THAN YOUR MOUTHPIECE... Although I had to correct you on several inaccurate statements you made since it was clear as day that you did NOT read through any of the documents, DID NOT contact the City Attorney and did NOT do your homework/ research, it was very apparent that you entered uncharted territory and wasn't ready for it... Among the list of things, discussed, ONE THING YOU DID AGREE TO DO AS AN EASY FIX was to find an alternate contact, rather than continue to correspond with Sgt. Phillilps... Because of the amount of unnecessary stress Sgt. Phillips has caused our family, including me losing a baby with the stress caused with the multiple acts of malicious negligence and reckless behaviors, violating court orders that compromised my safety and other, it really has taken a mental toll on me and my brother... As I disclosed before that my brother has even called my mother and me crying, breaking down after every time he talks to Phillips... You "acted" like you understood and appeared to be fully cooperative in agreement.. As you have other officers contacting me to schedule meetings (even for other officers), all you had to do is designate a 3rd party to contact as a bridge way for Me/My Brother & Phillips... However, never received a follow up from this simple fix...
58
Since the meeting on 9/27, Sgt. George Phillips directly contacted My Brother, asking him for MY ADDRESS IN WHICH HE ALREADY HAS... He knows how to contact me.. He called my brother because he was going to send some resource information for a Grievance Counselor... A GRIEVANCE COUNSELOR 7 MONTHS AFTER MY DAD HAS BEEN DEAD AND FOR ALL THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND HE'S JUST NOW DISCLOSING THIS INFORMATION??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? I dont' know if he's purposely trying to contact my brother to purposely agitate him, but it is very apparent that you did not even address the issue with Phillips because he still called my brother, days after the meeting on 9/27..... After my brother called both me and my mother, crying and already borderline nervous break down, SINCE YOU COULDN'T EVEN COMPLETE THE SIMPLEST OF TASKS, I HAD TO DIRECTLY CONTACT PHILLIPS AND LEAVE A MESSAGE LETTING HIM KNOW TO PLEASE STOP CONTACTING MYSELF AND MY BROTHER AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DESIGNATED AN ALTERNATE CONTACT... IT'S NOW 10/18 AND STILL NO WORD, JORDAN... So again I ask, How TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR OUR LOSS? As I've spoken to a few associates, clients and other who work in your department, I agree with them 1,000% in saying that you are "full of yourself", "egotistical" and "a slug"... As I stated in the initial email below on 9/30, everything was all smiles and charm until I started correcting you and calling you out on your inaccurate statements as I saw you weren't prepared.. From there, I don't care how you try to mask it, but you became more defensive, impatient, turned uncooperative as it seemed I struck a chord with your ego...... From wanting to help with simple fixes quickly changed as you saw the situation can no longer be brushed off and was all avoidable... Where you stated that you would contact the City Attorney, and I asked you for a time line and you refused to give one, why is that Sgt. Bolten took a few moments to check in on the matter and doing what you should have done? It was very apparent in the meeting that as I called you out on your lie and inaccurate/ inconsistent statements, that you were trying to find a way to make me suffer.. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Interim Chief Jordan.. With the behaviors you displayed, even in that short meeting and following after, tells me that you will never be a Permanent Chief and Always a Temporary because you have the wrong frame of mind in leadership and what your badge stands for.... As for a "Slug", That also fits you extremely well as it's all consistent with the behaviors from the meeting and looking at almost 3 weeks later and you still didn't do due diligence on the things you did agree to carry out.. I'm not even going to define this term as you already defined it for me on Page 15 of Your Deposition from 1/21/11 with your case against Derwin Longmire, but your actions cleary define who you are and this label suits you in how you've handled this entire project.... I am not purposely trying to go out of my way to attack you or your character.. But when you show any type of inconsiderate, unjust behavior and mistreatment towards me (especially when it's not justified in truth), I have even less consideration for you... Just do what was asked of you and follow through with what you were supposed to do (even from jump)... If folks just did the right thing and do what they were/ are supposed to, you wouldn't have to deal with this... As I run businesses and even a rule of thumb in dealing with life??? If you don't want people to complain, especially about the same thing, then don't give them a reason to... Either resolve it and keep it moving or try to get it right the first time.... Interim Chief Jordan, in pushing forward, because of your intent negligent and reckless behaviors, I will be pushing forward to file a complaint against you, adding in with the bunch of bad apples... Thanks for making my claim against the city easier as all you had to do was do what was asked of you (even before the meeting) and carry out simple tasks, and you couldn't even do that and let your ego get in the way... Please see below for original email sent as I still have not heard a response and you are clearly a liability for the city... "Pour tous ceux qui rpondre mes appels l'aide, et de faire diligence raisonnable grce la justice, la vrit, de vritables actes de le coeur, et ne pas traiter comme priorit faible, peuvent vous tre bni un million de fois plus avec la gentillesse vous montrer d'autres personnes ...

I will make this as brief as possible and straight to the point. First and Foremost, Sergeant Benton, I want to say that I truly appreciate you being present and for your insight and the way you carried yourself, overall.... With the issues surrounding the trust (gaining access to property,etc)... You stepped up and expressed that with situations like these, it's not a common thing (explanation why the situation has been mistreated), but you came across in being open to listening and looking for a solution (not writing it off since it's uncharted territory).... As you spoke, you took responsibility/ accountability, not just for yourself in understanding and experience as you worked Patrol (putting yourself in a position to see why things were handled the way they were), but Officers in your department Overall... If you weren't familiar with something, you were upfront in saying so, but presented an openness in being willing to learn and explore to resolve.... You took responsibility/accountability with an open mind to resolve and that is a Strong Trait of a Leader... Even with addressing the issue as to why Chief Batts HAS NEVER responded at any point, you explained that, taking responsibility and I appreciate that... Even for after the meeting was done, you took the initiative to walk us to the Elevator and Explain some things but you made an attempt to bring closure with a "POSITIVE" resolve. Sgt. Benton, for your participation in the meeting and after, YOU ARE APPRECIATED AND SHOW GREAT TRAITS OF LEADERSHIP.... THANK YOU... Assistant Chief Howard Jordan, let me first say that it was a pleasure (at first) meeting you.... As a compliment, I will say that you just as much extremely attractive on the news as you are in person.. You have a very strong and confident presence with an initial pleasant charm... What I am about say, as I speak in truth is I am extremely disappointed and offended by the meeting in how you conducted yourself, trying to figure out how did you get so hi in ranking... How can someone attractive, sharp, bright & charming on the exterior be so careless, dishonest, egotistical, insecure & "Unsmart" on the interior.... Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? Just saying and not even trying to be mean but you definitely are That Example... As you treated this meeting and my file overall (complaints, concerns) with such inconsideration and carelessness, I have even less regard/
consideration for you at this point... As I have a lot of friends, associates, clients and other in your department, SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU ABOUT ME... I'M NOT OF THAT GENERAL POPULATION & VERY MUCH A RARE SPECIES AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.... If you knew better, you would have done better.... Since you didn't, maybe this will give you incentive to correct the mistakes you made in the meeting.. Assistant Chief Jordan, from the beginning of the meeting, I picked up on your type in knowing you were gonna be full of shit and shady the moment you said "I'm sorry for your loss......... " (I picked it up in your voice)... That's why I stopped you because I already knew your condolences were superficial... As I stated if you truly are sorry, then do your job and make things easier for me.... The FIRST QUESTION I asked you is if you did your research (homework).. You replied , "Somewhat"... That tells me right there how much care and attention you put into My File of Situations/ Concerns/ Requests surrounding My Safety and My Father's Homicide and shows me how truly sorry you are for My Loss (which is none whatsoever)..
60
As there were several issues to discuss, I will say Thank You for resolving the "simple issues"... Although I wanted to have the case re assigned from Sgt. George Phillips because of his several acts of Negligence, Poor Customer Service & Dishonesty, I do understand and can respect the reason why you will not do so... Since NO ONE EVER CALLS ME OR CONTACTS ME OR RESPONDS with Status, I did not know of significant progress (and confirmation of information)... With what you disclosed, I can respect and agree that a Private Investigator is not needed for this case... I have no arguments with that... Thank You for honoring my request of finding an alternate method of communication since Phillips has caused so much emotional distress (with his foul ups) to me and my family.. I look forward to the update very soon.... Now on the main tip, You made SEVERAL MISTAKES & YOU LIED, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN AND YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF... You've had full knowledge of all of my complaints, emails, all documentation as there was a meeting ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED on 8/4/2011... You had from Late July until then to "do your homework" (research).. The meeting was cancelled and you went home before the meeting slot was even over and it was RESCHEDULED FOR 8/17/2011... You had from 8/4/11 until 8/17/11 to "do your
homework" (research).... As Chief's Assistant, Yolanda Morris (who is also a liar) cancelled the meeting the day of 8/17/11, since you had an urgent meeting elsewhere, I didn't hear a word and things got escalated to where I FINALLY met with you this past Tuesday (9/27/11)... In all of this time, You had from Late July until Tuesday (9/27, exactly 2 months after initial meeting was scheduled) to "do your homework" (research).. You had all this time to research the emails and all attachments (That Chief Batts, Sgt Phillips & You had all this time), take a few moments to call the City Attorney to run scenarios by her, asking questions and getting confirmation and clarification of what can be done, proper policy procedure and other... But YOU DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING & LOOK EVEN WORSE THAN CAPTAIN STEVE TULL... How do I know? You told on yourself as it showed throughout the entire meeting.... Per our discussion on Tuesday, you made several inaccurate statements and I want you to confirm or correct what you said... For the issue of gaining access on the property to retrieve the rest of My Father's Belongings that are ALL LISTED IN THE TRUST, I provided and re attaching the following: -The Revocable Trust My Father (deceased) created from 2007, which includes the Grant Deed that Shows His SOLE Ownership of the Property, Information in the Trust confirming the Property was to go to ONLY Me and My Brother, Yancy P. Johnson -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Trust -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Property with Rights YOU'VE HAD ALL OF THIS INFORMATION SINCE LATE JULY AND POSSIBLY BEFORE, AC JORDAN AS IT WAS ATTACHED IN THE EMAILS.... I have made several attempts to access the property with Civil Standby's and as the person who is Responsible for My Father's Murder (My Estranged Stepmother) has squatted on the property and lied alleging it was her house and property (after I provided the same documentation to the responding officers), your officers refused me access to my own property and brushed it off as a "civil issue", stating that a court order is required (which is inaccurate as your city attorney and my attorney confirmed)... There is no reason, as I provided all necessary documentation to the responding officers and your department that I should not have been able to get onto that property, retrieve personal properties and carry out my duties of the Trust as the Trustee/ Administrator/ Executor as even MY ATTORNEY WAS PRESENT ON ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS AND ALSO IN DISBELIEF BECAUSE OF IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE SITUATION.. As you also confirmed that what I am requesting is a "civil matter", you DID NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND CHECK WITH YOUR CITY ATTORNEY BEFORE MAKING THAT STATEMENT... As you asked me the same questions in several different forms of do I have documentation to confirm that I have access
61
and other, I DO AND I PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO & EVEN THE MORNING OF THE MEETING.. YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AND READ THAT IF YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH!!!!! BUT YOU DIDN'T, WHICH SHOWS ME HOW TRULY SORRY YOU ARE FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND TAKE CARE OF THE TASK THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU.... DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!! As you've had this file/ emails/ documentation since Late July, it wasn't until the meeting on Tuesday (9/27) that you said you will contact Rocio Fierro ... I asked if you can also contact and coordinate with My Attorney and you refused, already appearing to be flustered because I had to correct you... I don't care how much you were trying to keep your cool, I could with your body language, eye movements and slight change in color, you were flustered... I asked you how soon can I hear from you on this because as I've been trying to make attempts since March with Civil Standbys and All and since then, The house has been foreclosed on, The Person responsible for My Father's Murder has Stolen everything out the house (family heirlooms, furniture, pictures,etc) and the only thing I need to get is The Vehicle that's in the carport since I am now being sued for it as The Administrator of The Trust and My Estranged Stepmother's Car is blocking it.... You tried to brush the question off so I asked more directly, "Can you please give me a time when I can hear from you and have this resolved?".. You responded, directly, "No, I will not give you a time...." in a very short tone and I could tell you were agitated.. YOU HAVE SOME NERVE AND YOU DON'T THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, I SEE... So let me get this straight, as I'm already in process of filing a claim against the city and your department (taking money away from the already over budgeted city and your short staffed department) because of the several careless acts of negligence caused primarily by Sgt. George Phillips, I've already suffered the loss of My Father, have had death threats that your department gave the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD confirmed, have lost damn near all sentimental belongings that were in that house by being stolen (photos, heirlooms, furniture, his clothes, etc) because your department didn't know to follow the proper procedure and have suffered A GREAT AMOUNT OF STRESS BECAUSE OF THE ACTS OF INCONVENIENCES UNNECESSARILY CAUSED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT ALL SINCE MARCH..... And you can't be considerate enough to see with all of that, take a few moments, make a call or 2 to get proper clarification and confirmation and coordinate something that would only take less than an hour to resolve??? As much as a few of your officers have messed up so far, you can't take a few moments out of the day to JUST DO YOUR JOB, RESOLVING THE MATTER QUICKLY JUST SO WE CAN ALL MOVE ON?? The sooner you do your job, the sooner I'll stop bugging you.... As I'm already in process of filing a claim against the City and Your Department because of your "non education" with the issue of gaining access to the property with the Trust & Administration Documentation as I was refused access, inaccurately passing things off as a "civil matter" and since March, Everything has been stolen out of the house since then, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN EGO PROBLEM BECAUSE I CORRECTED YOU ON SOME THINGS, YOU'RE WILLING TO COST THE CITY AN ADDITIONAL $125,000+ (The Value of The Car)???? ALL THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND FOLLOW UP ON A TASK THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU SINCE LATE JULY???? You ought to be ashamed and May God Have Mercy On YOUR SOUL WITH THE MISTREATMENT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS.. So, Assistant Chief Jordan, how much do you really care about the city and your department??? How Truly Are You Sorry for My Loss as You So Superficially Stated??? How much do you truly honor your badge and what it stands for in protecting and serving??? Your actions spoke louder than your words, Jordan and I'm offended and disappointed.... You're too attractive and high ranking to be so foolish and careless... The Simplest Resolution I am Requesting??? I am just asking for a Civil Stand by... I will coordinate (as I've done before) with Tow Trucks, Attorney and Locksmiths to gain access through the gate and onto the property... Since My Estranged Stepmother's (who is also the suspect in looking to be charged with Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft, Attempt to Commit Fraud
62
(Insurance Agency), Fraud/ Forgery with DMV & Falsifying Information on a Police Report) other car is parked in the driveway, blocking the carport, if she is there, the officer will tell her to move her car out of the driveway so I can have access... If she is not there, I will have her car towed and placed on the street. I will remove the vehicle listed in the trust, check the property to see if there are any other items listed in the trust (the house has been damn near completely cleaned out but still need to check) and be done... I am just asking that with all the information provided to your department, confirming ownership and rights onto the property and personal property listed to the trust be advised to the responding officer so if the Squatter aka Suspect aka Estranged Stepmother tries to feed some garbage out her property and other, the officer will know the situation ahead of time and be able to act accordingly, instead of refusing access and brushing off as a civil matter (which has been an ongoing inaccurate occurrence).. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN SINCE THIS CAN ALL BE DONE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR... With the topic of status of the rest of My Father's Belongings that were in that truck and on his body, and the issue of releasing property, again the issue of the Trust came up as I provided all of this documentation to Sgt. Phillips since the beginning and you had in your possession since Late July (emails attachments with the complaints/requests).. A Trust is defined as a Legal Obligation given by a person called the donor or settler (my dad), binding upon the Trustee (Administrator/ Executor) of the Trust, for the benefit of another (referred to as beneficiary).. Assistant Chief Jordan, you directly stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a civil matter and property is released to next of Kin (which would be My estranged Stepmother).... You made the same mistake Captain Tull Did as you did not DO YOUR RESEARCH/ HOMEWORK... I questioned your statement because if that was the case, why did Sgt. George Phillips, out of negligence, directly contact my brother (beneficiary) about The Truck (that was Illegally Auctioned Off, Later) that My Father Was murdered in, instead of My Estranged Stepmother??? You responded that Phillips did contact My Stepmother and she told him to give the truck to my brother.... You didn't say "Phillips may have" or "Possibly"..... You directly responded with that statement with confidence as if it was a fact... Assistant Chief Jordan, your response was a COMPLETE BOLD FACED BAD LIE AND YOU NEED TO QUIT IT!! I KNOW THAT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE BECAUSE WHEN I PUT SGT. PHILLIPS ON SPOT, HE STATED DIRECTLY (via email and verbal on voicemail) THAT HE RELEASED THE TRUCK DIRECTLY TO MY BROTHER SINCE HE IS THE "BENEFICIARY" OF THAT TRUCK.... So not only did you try to cover for Phillips, but you got caught in a LIE, not knowing what I already knew... AS YOU TAKE AN OATH OF LOYALTY TO THE BADGE AND ALL IT STANDS FOR IN PROTECTING AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY, DON'T EVER LIE AND ESPECIALLY DON'T EVER LIE TO ME!!! Your colleagues should have warned you about me because I'm not the general population female.... So back to the Trust, as you stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a "civil matter" and property is released to next of kin, I asked you "are you sure?" and "Can you email me what you just stated" because if that's the case, your department and the city would be covered with law suites and liabilities.. You stopped (already flustered because I've corrected you a few times already) and had to think about it and said you'll check with the city Attorney.. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THIS SINCE BEFORE OUR INITIAL MEETING THAT WAS CANCELLED ON 8/4 AND HAD THE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES THE ENTIRE TIME BUT DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.. So how much time did you put into this project, Assistant Chief??? Lastly, although I have filed a complaint against Sgt Phillips, it has nothing to do with him continuing the investigation.... And the case is still open... One of my main complaints, as My Brother and Daddy's Best Friend both confirmed to you is that there were leads that were provided with direct knowledge, even from the beginning and Sgt. Phillips never contacted many of them... Also, as I received Death Threats already knowing it's related to the person responsible for Daddy's Murder (My estranged stepmother), I asked to have my records traced and cross referenced to Daddy's and see any connection.. I received the brush off
63
treatment as even San Leandro PD's Officers Confirmed.. I asked you in pushing forward, can he please do the trace & investigate to see if there is any connection and call the leads... You directly told me I have to file a complaint in order for him to do that... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, SOMETIMES.. JUST SAYING.... So Assistant Chief Jordan, let me get this straight... As the investigation is still open, you mean to tell me that with investigating as sometimes we have to back track our notes, exhaust leads and just check into information, I have to file a complaint for him to turn over a stone that he already has knowledge of??? So you're telling me that if I provided information to your department for an open investigation that might possibly be helpful, I have to waste the City's Over Budgeted Spending on Filing a Complaint, having people to review it and then tell him to do his job??? You mean to tell me, you'd rather for me to file a complaint, rather than you telling him to take a few minutes just to follow up on something to exhaust a possible lead/ connection that could possibly close the case, sooner so he can move on???? Assistant Chief Jordan, It appears that YOU'RE A LIABILITY TO THE CITY WITH HOW MUCH YOU'RE COSTING THEM WITH POOR JUDGEMENT & WASTING TIME..... So let me ask again, Are you SURE I HAVE TO FILE/ ADD COMPLAINT IN ORDER FOR PHILLIPS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH INFORMATION HE NEVER CHECKED ON AND IS ALSO RELATED TO MY SAFETY?? Since you didn't do your homework and as I've mentioned I've been involved with a car chase since Daddy's Homicide, Received Death Threats and Other.. Let me remind you as I, along with everyone else knows I'm the Next Target?? Is because for the person responsible for his murder (my estranged stepmother) has a motive of pure hate towards me (which is why she is acting the way she is and committed all these separate crimes since)... When my father was alive, and I was the closest person to him, I was not only his business partner and Daddy's Girl, But His Doberman (My Nickname).... What ever he told me to do, I did while he sat back and relaxed... For the person responsible for Daddy's Murder, upon request, I have fired her from the job a few times, repossessed the car she was driving.. When Daddy wanted to separate in the past from her, I coordinate everything and made it happen... When Daddy didn't want to be around her and she was stalking and harassing him, I prepared the protective orders for him and all he had to do was sign and be there.. Even for the eviction, I'm the one who prepared the document, he signed it and I served her for him and was to complete the process.. After his death and as you will see, he didn't leave her in charge and really didn't leave her anything, including a life insurance policy, she's still angry and blamed me for years for why he didn't want to be with her... So as you see from the tons of police reports & restraining orders and other, just as she removed him, the story is not over.. With your actions on Tuesday, tells me either way, you don't give a damn as your ego is too much in the way and you're too busy and you're too lazy and/or comfortable in your position to research anything.... Either way, Jordan, I'm going give you a fair shot here and ask that you correct your inaccuracies and do the right thing... As the meeting was from 2-2:30, it ran over and as time grew closer to 3, I observed something and want to point it out... On the day of the initial meeting, which was scheduled from 3-3:30, I called the patrol desk when I was trying to find parking to let them know to notify you I'm there but will be in a few minutes late, although my brother and daddy's friend were already there and waiting.. As I came in around 3:10 and waited in line (since McDonald told My Brother that he wasn't going to acknowledge him because he wasn't supposed to be in the meeting), when I finally talk to McDonald, he called the 8th Floor and told me the meeting was cancelled... I didn't understand and it was Kiona Suttle that came down stairs to inform me that Jordan had already left and he usually gets off by 3:15 (This was approximately 3:17).. I showed her my call log to confirm when I called into Patrol at 2:57.... Kiona then went upstairs and went to find someone to meet with us... She came downstairs, apologetic and confirmed no one was available and
64
instructed me to call to reschedule with Yolanda... But one fact is JORDAN WAS GONE BEFORE THE MEETING TIME SLOT WAS OVER BEFORE 3:17... I made a complaint about this shortly after and Yolanda called to address the issue and stated that Jordan was there the day of the meeting and did not leave early.... I could tell she was lying on the phone... But for confirmation??? One thing I noticed is in the meeting, as it got closer to 3, Jordan you kept looking at your watch and I could see you growing slightly impatient (like you were ready to go).... That was confirmation enough for me too see that your actions were consistent with the apology and update Kiona gave to me (IN TRUTH) on 8/4/11 and Yolanda is a lied, after the fact, trying to cover for YOU... YOU GUYS NEED TO QUIT LYING SO MUCH AND JUST DO YOUR JOB!!! WHAT ARE WE (THE CITY) PAYING YOU AND SUPPORTING YOU FOR????? DO THE RIGHT THING AND QUIT PLAYIN REINDEER GAMES!!!!! So Assistant Chief, Jordan?? As The meeting was held on Tuesday, I never received a follow up from the meeting, even to correct your inaccurate statements, but I am requesting response and resolution to these matters no later than Wednesday, October 5th, at close of the day.... These simple requests only take a few minutes to complete and as you didn't do your job and research before, and you WASTED MY TIME WITH THE MEETING SINCE YOU WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED, DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME AROUND... IF I DON'T HERE FROM YOU, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC TO BE ROLLED UNDER THE BUS WITH THE REST OF THE GENERAL POPULATION OF BAD APPLES WITH COMPLAINTS, CITIZEN'S REVIEW BOARD, ADDING TO THE CITY'S CLAIM AND OTHER... YOU'RE NOT ONLY COSTING ME MONEY AND WASTING MY TIME, BUT YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING TO THE CITY & YOUR DEPARTMENT... JUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND COMPLETE THE TASKS THAT WERE HANDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO!!!! PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENTS ONCE AGAIN THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HAD IN YOUR POSSESSION FOR 2 MONTHS, REVIEW, RESEARCH AND RESOLVE, APPROPRIATELY!!!! WITH THAT HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND....

Dear Mayor Quan, President Reid and Members of the Council: Introduction: At the October 18th Council meeting, the Council passed a resolution appointing Victor Uno and Jakada Imani to the Port Commission. At the October 21 meeting of the Rules Committee, the committee asked the City Attorney for a ruling regarding the following question. Question: Did the City Council give all public speakers the opportunity to speak prior to taking action on the appointments of Victor Uno and Jakada Imani to the Port Commission as required by the Sunshine Ordinance and the Brown Act? Discussion: A review of the video of the meeting shows the Council did not take action before it advised the public speakers of their right to address the Council. Prior to voting on the appointments, President Reid announced multiple times that public speakers had the right to speak if they chose to do so. No speakers approached the podium before the Council voted on the item. However, after President Reid called for public speakers, there was a interruption in the chamber involving a show of support for Mr. Imani that apparently caused some confusion as to when public speakers would have an opportunity to address the Council. The Council voted immediately following this interruption without expressly giving speakers on both sides of the issue the opportunity to speak. President Reids announcement that the vote on the appointment of the commissioners would be bifurcated also contributed to the confusion regarding the timing of public comment. Clearly, a number of members of the public were confused as to the timing and said as much to the Council following the vote. Conclusion: Given the confusion in the chamber and timing of the vote, we conclude that public speakers on both sides of the issue were not given a clear opportunity to speak before the Council voted on the item as required by the Sunshine Ordinance and Brown Act. It is of the utmost importance that citizens have a voice in the business conducted on their behalf by the Council. To fully comply with the requirement that the public has a meaningful
68
opportunity to address the Council before it takes action, this item must be re-noticed to cure and correct.

Dear Mayor Quan, My name is Tom Henderson. I am the CEO at San Francisco Regional Center, LLC based in Oakland. I have enclosed a picture of the two of us at your recent Mayor's evening event at City Hall on Sept 16th regarding the women's conference. As I mentioned to you I would like to sponsor the City of Oakland Trade Office in Shanghai at no charge to the city. I have been traveling to China for 20 years and I have 15,000sf offices at one of the most prestigious office buildings in Shanghai-Cloud Nine Plaza. The 5-Star Longemont Hotel (Regent Hotel Group) has 27 floors in this 62 story property. I have included a picture of this "Dragon's Dream" building as well as the view from our conference room window (Feng Shui). A waterfall of opportunities coming our way... After we took this picture together last month on the City Hall steps you invited me to join you for dinner after I mentioned to you that I would like to sponsor the Oakland Trade office in Shanghai. I am also talking to the Port of Oakland to sponsor their China offices. But the politics are upside down there with the port decision makers. I am one of the more successful EB-5 Immigration Visa companies in California. We will bring in $100M in investments over the next year and create 2000 jobs in Oakland. We have already brought in more than $10M over the last few months and 100% of the funds are being invested into Oakland creating jobs. I was born in Oakland, I work in Oakland and I live in Oakland. I go to China every month and as a Cal grad I will be attending the UC Berkeley Shanghai Ball Event on Nov 12th with the UC Chancellor while tapping into the potential EB-5 investors in China. The invitation is enclosed. Please let me know when you have time to meet for dinner in Oakland or a meeting at your offices would be great. I don't want any thing in return from the City of Oakland but I do want to support the Office of the Mayor. Best Regards, Tom Henderson CEO San Francisco Regional Center, LLC. 418 3rd St Oakland, Ca. 94607 Tel. 510-847-3518 (Mobile) SFRC Shanghai Cloud Nine Plaza 1118 West Yan An Rd 10th Floor

A perfect way to end the week. Here is what are guest are saying about Chabot per Yelp. Great job!!
9/26/2011 5 stars I got married here! The museum staff who helped us out (hi Kristie) were awesome and easy to work with but the real star of the show was the museum itself. I hadn't been here before looking for a wedding venue, and most of my guests hadn't been here before my wedding, but for a group of geeks it was a perfect place to while away an evening. They have all kinds of awesome space memorabilia: launch capsules, space suits, space toilets! Apparently they cleaned house at an auction of cosmonaut stuff some years back. They've also got some exhibits about the layout of the universe and a long pitch-black tunnel you can crawl through (yes, even in a tux); it's delightfully interactive. If you go to the back of the museum there's a great exhibit about alternative energy and global warming, with lots of neat commentary from Bill Nye (the science guy!). The movies are cool and remind me of the stuff I used to watch at the natural history museum in New York, growing up. To crown it all, they have an observatory with three big telescopes. We rented one out for my wedding and I got to look at storms on the surface of Jupiter, among other amazing things. It was completely stunning and may have stolen the evening. The museum's off the beaten path a little, but it's not actually very far from Oakland and it's easy to get to. On the drive up, you can catch a good view of the bay, and the museum itself is among tall trees. It's a completely amazing place and I highly
87
recommend checking it out if you're in the area. In these heady post-shuttle days, Chabot is doing the important work of inspiring appropriate awe and wonder about the cosmos and the people who walk among it.
9/10/2011 5 stars Today was our first visit, and after the great time we had we will be purchasing a family membership! My kids and I spent four hours here. I'm too exhausted right now to give details but I'll tell you what, when your seven year old is running from one exhibit to the next with sheer exhilaration you know it's a winner. I can't wait to go back at night to see through the huge telescopes.

Hello Sue! Holy moley! Another BIG quake just now! Gad zooks. Time for the CORE group to meet again. My question: I have a citizen's issue and I'm mad as a hornet. On August 14th I received an "abatement notice" from the Oakland Fire Department where I was cited for having a tree too near the house. The report had a crude diagram of a house on a property with a large X where the problem was noted. Well, as you know, as a professional landscape architect I own a GARDEN of some renown, which is very carefully considered, and very well watered. It is a little wooly in style, which is intentional. I have a gardener who comes weekly and he and I take very good care of my garden. SO, I tried to call the inquiry number on the report to discuss the issue with the Fire Department, to try to get more information. The number was "disconnected". I tried to email the noted email for information and the email was returned as undeliverable. Thanks. So, I decided to move ahead without further information. I assumed that the X meant the tree on that side of my house as noted on the diagram, and I hired an excellent arborist to prune it and several other plants where the X was located, $500+! That tree is now 10' away from the house. Yesterday I received an overdue citation telling me that I now am being FINED $275.15 for a "reinspection fee", telling me that I must comply or the City is going to send in a private contractor "after Tuesday, October 4th to do the pruning." I am not going to allow some contractor to come ruin my garden. DO THESE PEOPLE EVER LOOK AT THE PROPERTY? Do they even consider
92
how they are treating people with this "martial law" approach? I tried to contact them, I complied with their request and now I am being fined! This is unacceptable! SO, now what in hades am I supposed to do? I feel that as a citizen I am being persecuted and the system is not fair. One is not even allowed to represent oneself. What the heck! WHO DO I SPEAK WITH TO GET FAIR TREATMENT and rid myself of this fine and threat? I have neighbors who are nice people and live in volatile jungles. I don't know if they are being harassed too. I see no one else doing careful pruning. Thank you for listening. You can tell that I am really ticked off. I would appreciate some advice and help. My Citation number is 048G-7438-01300. Thank you so much. Bobbi Feyerabend 6121 Merriewood Drive Oakland, 94611

Lewis, I have been wanting to touch base on the school closures issues with you, as many people are asking what the Mayor is doing about school closures. Ive been going to many of the meetings, and below are some questions that have come up in my research, FYI. In particular, relevant to the city, impacts on public safety and economic development should be assessed within the plan to close 20-30 schools in the next few years. LAILAN HUEN | Senior Field Representative Office of Assemblymember Sandr R. Swanson California State Assembly 16th District 1515 Clay Street Suite 2204 Oakland, California 94612 Phone: 510.286.1670 | Fax: 286.1888 www.assembly.ca.gov/swanson | lailan.huen@asm.ca.gov
From: Huen, Lailan Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 3:35 PM To: 'david.montes@ousd.k12.ca.us' Subject: School Closure Process Questions
Hello Montes, Thank you for the time to talk and touch base at Santa Fe, I know you are busy, and I am hoping you can help bring more clarity to the school closure issues. I have been analyzing the process and concerns, and would like to share the following thoughts & ask questions for more information: Since the African American population in Oakland is decreasing due to migration and incarceration, and because their neighborhoods are the hardest hit by poverty and violence, which deters parents from choosing schools in those areas, it seems that a neutral process of choosing which schools to close under the current criteria will undoubtedly be inequitable and disproportionately displace and impact African American students. Standardized test scores and enrollment also reflect socio-economic status. Low-income African American and Latino populations, particularly the lowest-performing students in families with the fewest resources, are now affected by 2 or 3 school closures, which may impact academic achievement and school dropout or truancy rates in these groups. How is equity, particularly in terms of class and race, considered in analyzing which demographics of students and families are impacted by school closures and transition? It seems that the only way to counter the inequity of poverty across the district is to hyper-invest in flatland schools, providing more resources to where there are more needs and challenges. Similarly, when considering which schools to close, it seems important to maintain and strengthen schools in neighborhoods that most need
11
the resources of a full-service community school. Have you or the Superintendent considered these strategies in your long-term plan and decision-making about the OUSD portfolio and resource division? Have current OUSD staff studied previous school closure processes to ensure the best possible process for the families, students and staff of impacted schools? Can the process be designed better to increase the percentage of families who choose to come back to OUSD and transition into another school? I understand that the approach is different than before in terms of having a broader strategy rather than dealing school-byschool, as I saw under state receivership, and I think that a serious transition process is key, but I am not sure if I am seeing substantial differences in terms of how families arent being engaged in the decision-making conversation and how top-down the process is. The closure process I was involved in was spread over about 4 months, which integrated into a multi-year program improvement process, all of which was deeply flawed in this case, but at least the process was tied to a multi-year tiered process and families got multiple meetings to discuss the impact rather than just one within the timeline of one month. o Were the standards developed collaboratively by the Quality Community School Development Task Force used to evaluate which schools would be recommended for closure? I thought that the democratic stakeholder process through strategic planning task forces was going to inform how to evaluate schools and determine which ones were not being as effective, including student and parent desires for their schools. Where did the criteria that the School Board approved in August come from, and was it ever vetted through families, students and educators? Were family and student engagement, investment and participation in a school considered in the evaluation of which schools would be recommended for closure? Was the Use Your Voice or Youth Truth survey data used in school evaluation? Were impacts on the local neighborhood and community, including public safety and economic development, factored at all into the decisions or process? Are OUSD leaders working in hand with the Mayor, City or Councilmembers to engage the dialogue about how neighborhoods and communities are being affected by school closures? With the criteria of looking at what percentage students choose neighborhood schools and what percentage of the student population comes from that neighborhood, how are special programs like special needs and culturally-relevant education factored into decisions? With specially-focused programs that meet needs of populations, of course you will have families coming from all over the city, and then neighborhood families may not choose such a specialized school. How do we maintain special programs that serve marginalized students, and prevent their displacement? Particularly special needs students have been disproportionately impacted by school closures, which hits this population even harder. Can special needs programs be protected from displacement as much as possible in future processes?
What is the long-term plan for targeting the overall 25-30 schools that the Superintendent wants to close? Will a handful of schools close each year, through a process similar to this year, until that number is reached? Can there be a broader, longer, more meditative process for the community to engage in strategic plans for consolidation, transition and closure that will meet the needs of all students and communities? As many School Board members have asked, but which I have not heard the answer to, will displaced families be guaranteed one of their top choices? Are there commitments from OUSD to keep class sizes manageable for educators and students after school closure and consolidation? How can OUSD help to ensure that charter schools are accountable to communities and accept students from their neighborhoods?
Please let me know if you can share this information to give us a better understanding of the work that you and the Superintendent are doing, as I am putting together a report for Assemblymember Swanson right now. I know this is a lot questions, so anything you can share briefly will be helpful!

Hi Major Quan. My name is Katrina Han, and I'm currently a senior at San Francisco State University. I wanted to invite you and was hoping that you could attend a charity event that will be focusing on human/sex trafficking. This is an extremely important issue that we all need to be aware of, and really need to take action. I'm sure you're aware of this epidemic that is currently going on in our city of Oakland, with sex trafficking and prostitution. And I just thought it would really be wonderful if you could come and just support this charity event by simply attending. It really would show support, and mean so much. I personally am not part of an organization, and am just simply helping one of my closest friend with this charity event. This event will be taken place at 2050 Lincoln Ave. Alameda CA 94501 on December 17th, which is a Saturday. I really really really hope that you can attend this event. Please let me know if you have any questions. and if you'd like to call me to talk to me personally, my number is below. I hope to hear from you soon.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/21/BA6S1LKNVB.DTL&tsp=1 I sincerely hope that you are following all of the negative publicity this debacle is creating for Oakland. We need this like we need a hole in the head. Had you enforced the law appropriately, as many other cities did, and stopped the tents from being erected in the first instance, none of this would have happened. First Amendment rights are simply not at issue here. The U.S. Supreme Court case of Clark v. Community for Creative Non-Violence conclusively established that camping in a public place is not protected speech. Clearly, the "eviction notice" is utterly ineffectual in getting these people to leave, and it appears their anti-establishment sentiments are only bolstered by their determination to defy whatever authority is brought to bear. Without actual enforcement of the eviction notice, City officials will have lost whatever credibility they had left. And enforcement will necessarily require significant police intervention, which, in turn, will result in anger, resentment, arrests, injuries, tort claims, bad publicity, all costing the City millions of dollars that we don't have. Again, all of this was completely avoidable. While a hailstorm or blizzard may be effective in getting most of the campers to leave, this is not predicted in the next couple of days, meaning that actual enforcement will be required. The longer you delay, the worse the results will be for Oakland. Marleen L. Sacks

Please read the article link below. http://www.insidebayarea.com/twitter/ci_19150648 There are clearly dangerous conditions that exist and are increasing at the "camp." The longer you allow this to continue, the harder and more dangerous it will be to get these people to leave. Had you taken the approach by many other cities, and
28
prevented the people from staying overnight in the first place, none of this would be happening. Aside from the obvious public safety issues, you are opening up the City to a myriad of liability claims, including dangerous condition of public property. Moreover, when the police are inevitably required to forcibly remove the campers, there will be the standard claims of personal injury and police brutality, all costing us taxpayers additional unnecessary expense. Given the scarcity of police resources, as well as other resources that must be brought to bear to defend against potential claims, both frivolous and valid, you must shut this camp down ASAP. By the way, this email would be discoverable in any subsequent lawsuit alleging that you had notice about the dangers involved and failed to act. Marleen L. Sacks

From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Mayor Quan, Attached are my first TIGER III Plan1 and a second and more ambitious approach to Tiger III Plan 2, which would leverage an additional $40 million in TCIF, as the result of Prologis Phase 1 logistics buildings. I am providing these to you so that you have an appreciation of the dynamics of the variables. NOT TO PRESENT TO ANYONE IN DC. There needs to be some serious three way negotiations with both the Port and developer, before we submit on October 31. We need to decide how, if at all, to include the Port rail. The Port needs to decide, how if at all to recognize private investment in its rail. It is seriously reconsidering CCIGs rail proposal The developer needs to size and allocate the use of its private investment. The most attractive single component, the new break bulk marine terminal< may not be TIGER III eligible because the timing of Caltrans current rights to the West Gateway, until 2015 or 2016. And most importantly we need accurate estimates of the costs of the different components.

Mark, Thats a very clear position. We need to agree on what the size of your first phase will be. Full footprint Phase 1 and 2 is a $75 million project and a smaller Phase 1 footprint at $23 million, would be consistent with your planned TIGER III app. Since you insist that it be all public, and I respect your position; I will insist that it be the smaller phase 1 number, and hope that you respect our position. Building out the entire rail yard with public funds, without private investment, leaves too little for the balance of the development. Perhaps by the time the full rail yard is ready to be built, you will have a private partner and the match to build it.

Marisha, Attached is a final version of the TIGER III one-pager. James Kachelmeyer is working on the final version of the Oakland Global broacher. He should make it available for down loading at the Oakland Global/ Oakland Working Waterfront website. I have also attached my boring fact but informative fact sheet that may help in your preparing for your discussions. James is not available to confirm that he will be tuning up the broacher. Therefore I am going to load it, the one pager, and the fact sheet, on a flash drive that I can deliver to you wherever and whenever you need it. My original version of our TIGER III presumed that the Port would wee the light and invite private investment into their rail yard. They said NO to that concept for this application and I have revised it and sent it back to them and the developer. You should not present anyone in DC with specifics on investments and matched, other than to say the funded pinfrastucture project will be aroung $300 million and that will create the setting for another $350 million private investment in logistics, marine terminals, recyclers and every thing good that comes for those investments.

What they don't seem to understand is that any "gap" is equally or even disaportionately shared by the city portions of the project. These letters do not open the doors to negotiations. They do not respond to the overtures or compromises made by both Prologis and CCIG. Prologis is not goimg to respond to this kind of vague leadership.. We need to pound them that their having given up on their vision for the Port results in their apparent "slum lord" approach to the OAB. We need to point out to them that slum lords may do well for themselves, in the short run. but it is always at the expense of their neighbors.

Mr. Pinto informed us that there is a new item from city for ease of paying parking tickets. Kiosks I don't think the public know you can call in to pay your parking tickets or if it cost extra; only those whose car is booted is aware that you can call right now and the boot can be removed right now. Kiosks are Located at city hall, Eastmont and main police stations The Kiosks are another secret rolled out by his department without city staff or the public knowing. Their response is that it is a pilot program and they are working out the kinks before rolling out to the city staff and then the public. There is a monthly parking enforcement meeting that a representative from OMLF will attend. Mr. Cyrus Pishdad he should report back to us what transpired in that meeting. Mr. Pinto informed us that the Parking enforcement team cannot resend a mistaken parking ticket but can call supervisor on the spot to rectify the ticket vs. the public spending time appealing the ticket. The public is not aware of this procedure. We are the watchdogs of this procedure as no one was aware. This is not presently being done by parking enforcement. The public should not have to appeal errors. Mr. Pinto gave us the ways to fight/appeal a parking ticket and says it is 50-50 weighting on the public side of the complaint. We must start a blog to find out how true. (or some way of measuring success for the public). #1) go to parking department (staff) no payment due at that time of appeal #2) go to hearing officer and payment is due at that time of appeal #3) go to lowest level of court called limited jurisdiction and file a claim It was told by Sanjiv that it cost the city 11mil to operate the parking kiosks. Mr. Gable stated this information should be available to the public. We tried to get at least one thing today that the parking enforcement task force could show mercy on the public; Item #4 of our proposal. Stop the aggressive parking enforcement Some of our requests are policy and some are procedures Mr. Pinto will see which of the procedures he can change in 30 days and let us know the process to change policy. We will ask him to distinguish the two. Noel Pinto will get back to us before our next forum October 26th 2011 this above item. It appears that the Policy vs. Procedures are another way of stalling our request. We must begin to get loud about parking or else the city will think we are just complaining and not serious. We will give 30 day and then if not heard start the petition process initiated by Allen Michaan Allen Michaan suggested an aggressive approach without waiting for a report back as it seems that we are being stalled. Karen King made suggestion that the new administration should be given a chance and to not blame them as the public voted in the same city council who is not willing to work with us. So it is the public who needs to be blamed for continuing the same madness as in the past. However we have a new administration give a 30 day window to see what transpires. Below are some of the suggestions or comments made that we will amend to OMLF proposal. Concerns:
19
Discretion of meter enforcement Permit costs / public should not have to appeal errors Consistency of parking rates "D" Representative from OMLF present at monthly briefing Respect from council for work done by task force Unclear signage Allowance for time difference no way to determine synchronize Compare parking fees to business tax revenue
City staff Karen Boyd office of the Administrator wants to look at our parking studies from the parking task force and the recommendations Shari is to provide this information to Karen Boyd and Drew Lisac. No time line was committed by Karen. The new city administrator has something in the works but is not ready to reveal it. This is where respect need to happen, one of the parking task force should be invited to this meeting with the city administrator. As we have been working on this forever and not heard. There is attached to this email a California parking summit we should all attend so that we know what we are facing and not waste our time with proposals that will not get recognized by our city as we know should this city is ran by others not living in this city. Our proposal offers the city something that can be done to offset revenue. And it would be good PR for the city to give merchants Item #1 the holiday free parking as a way of showing some compassion for our concerns. There was no time to discuss the entire proposal, to be continued at next forum. So here we are October 26th 2011 to continue our conversation THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED SHOULD REGISTER AND ATTEND THIS BELOW!!! Want to learn more about parking? On Tuesday, November 1, at the Marriott City Center in Oakland, 8 a.m. - 11 a.m., there's a free breakfast seminar, Parking Matters -- sponsored by the California Public Parking Association and the International Parking Institute. This seminar is perfect for city planners, building owners and managers, developers, financial officers, municipality officials and others who want to learn how to boost profits, improve parking systems and learn the latest in new parking technologies and innovative tactics. The program will feature parking experts on topics ranging from sustainable parking and emerging trends in parking, urban development and revitalization to improving the parking auditing process and closing the gap between paper regulations and real-life parking operations. Free, but advance registration is required. Space is limited. Register by October 25 by contacting Yael Oved, 818-5811110, or email conference-rep@cppaparking.org.
We encourage forum participants to walk, bike, BART or bus to the forum, but if you must drive, we offer parking validation! (Valid for City lots only) For walking, biking, bus or BART route information please

The 11th Annual America's Children's Holiday Parade was without a doubt the best year in this parade's history. On December 4th, 2010, our parade attracted more than 100,000 children of all ages to the streets of downtown Oakland. This year, the 12th Annual America's Children's Parade is set to attract even more visitors than last year, and we want to encourage people to stay and explore Oakland's hidden attractions. The Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce will be launching their new parade website www.americasholidayparade.com and we want local restaurants and businesses to utilize this tool to their advantage. We are in the midst of creating a parade coupon package where parade visitors can view our FAQ section of the website for local eateries and attractions. Your business can provide a special parade visitor coupon for the weekend of December 3-4th, 2011 to attract residents and visitors to your business. The coupon will be listed on the website for visitors to print and bring to your location during the parade weekend. The 2011 Parade is an ideal opportunity to extend your services to visitors and attract new customers. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and help us make the 12th Annual America's Children's Parade a success for Oakland and its business community. Sincerely, Joseph J. Haraburda Parade Chair; Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce President & CEO

Mayor Quan and Fred, Attached are the evolution of the TIGER III application senarios. Last weeks versions are Plans A,B, and C which were the basis of our discussions with the Port. Plan 1 was what I distributed to the Port and developer. The Port immediately pushed back on the concept of including any private funding in their OHIT Rail Yard. Plans 2A and 2B reflect the Ports position but provide for a lesser Phase One for the the Port OHIT. Plan 2A Maximum Private Investment illustrates a $415,400,000 project as a result of characterizing the Phase One Prologis and Recyclers buildings as a part of the TIGER III project and leveraging $100,000,000 of TCIF. It goes a long way in addressing most of the OAB's infrastrucure needs and even includes $20 million for Safety improvements to the 7th Street grade seperation. Plan 2B Minimum Private Investment illustrates a $215,400,000 project becuase it does not include the $100,000,000 in private Logistics buildings. It addresses our backbone infrastrucure needs but falls far short in reading the sites for development. In neither Plan do I not include a very important potential private improvement, the Ports America (POA) On Dock Rail. We do not have a stake in that deal nor do we have any sense of timing. The developer may be able to get something from POA that would enable its inclusion in the TIGER III application. In both Plans 2A and 2B, I am assuming, at a minimum, the inclusion of private rail investments on our property and private investment into the West Gateway. I know that the developer is investigating how these assumptions and a very different set of sources and uses may emerge from his work. I am copying Toni Horst, with AECOM, who I believe may be meeting with you in DC. Toni is our consultant drafting our application, which from her point of view is a very moving target. I do not think you should share the level of detail in these senarios with people at DOT but Toni will be able to advise us on how best to structure our application. Bigger may not be better for the purpouses of TIGER III.

From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Dear Mayor Quan, As the Occupiers of Frank Ogawa Plaza enjoy another night in their commune (which my tax dollars will help clean up once they're gone) I find your silence on this matter deafening. The city's so-far toothless eviction order has gone unheeded and Oakland's overly tolerant and pacifist approach to the Occupiers' illegal camp site continues as the trash builds and the rats multiply. Quite an accomplishment. I suppose we should be thankful the Occupiers gave the plaza a little break yesterday as they decided to rally on Lakeshore Drive, thereby blocking off both the Lakeshore and Grand Ave. exits off of westbound 580. It's not like Oakland needs more shoppers and sales tax revenue. I've always said Oakland succeeds in spite of itself and this is another example. Even my council member, Desley Brooks (copied on this email), felt so inspired by the Occupiers she spent two nights in the plaza. But as the lunacy of their movement goes on perhaps it should be noted that the Oakland Chapter of OWS is joined by protesters around the country. Protestors like the ones in: New York - one angry guy defecated on a police car. Landmarks such as the "Briefcase Man" statue (an icon to New Yorkers because of its survival in the rubble of the World Trade Center attacks) was defaced by Occupiers. L.A. - calls for violence and exiling of "the Jews" were proposed. A bank protest resulted in dozens of arrests. Seattle - one Occupier who enjoyed flashing people and who had molested a child was drawn to the movement, attracted by the lawlessness and "tolerance". Portland - one enterprising employER told the Occupiers he wanted to hire. Not one was interested. Cleveland - a 19 year old woman was raped in her tent by one Occupier who was "assigned" there. So there you have it Ms. Mayor, at least Oakland has company. In case you think I'm a right wing tea partyer who's railing against the left, think again. I'm a registered independent who voted for Bill Clinton twice and Barack Obama in 2008. I have nothing to do with the Tea Party, although I must say I find comparisons between the two groups amusing. As far as I can tell, the Tea Partyers have no history of violence and lawlessness, not to mention moronic stunts like taking over a bank lobby. In other words, they conduct their movement with civility. Danny Glover, in his now famous rant in the Plaza a couple of weeks ago, told us how "sick and tired he is of being sick and tired". Of course he probably left the plaza in his expensive car to drive back to his expensive digs but that's another story. Well, Mr. Glover and I have one thing in common: we're both sick and tired. You can YouTube to see what he's sick and tired about (although like me, you might have trouble following his incoherent message) but I'll leave you and Ms. Brooks with what I'm sick and tired about as an Oakland resident: city leaders who gladly join hands to form a human chain against police officers trying to do their jobs (i.e. Oscar Grant protests) but dither as kooks, anarchists, and criminals trash Frank Ogawa Plaza. Once the order is given to have the cops move in, might I make a suggestion: you, Ms. Brooks and the rest of the city council accompany the officers as they remove the Occupiers. We don't need any more police brutality cases in Oakland so perhaps you can advise the cops on how the Occupiers should be removed. We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt during the process.

On Wednesday, October 26, the Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council & Neighborhood Watch is conducting a workshop on crime prevention technologies. As a block captain I wanted to attend. Theres a problem, though. Its being held at night at 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza, home of the Occupy Oakland crowd, poster children for the misfits, criminals, and anarchists currently occupying our town square and allowed free reign by Oaklands Major Jean Quan and Police Chief Frank Jordan. According to Tammerlin Drummond (Occupy Oakland deteriorates into volatile situation) in her Sunday column, the City Administrator has issued a Notice to Vacate Frank Ogawa Plaza, but there was no deadline, so why should the Occupy Oakland people care? They replied by stating they will continue to occupy the Plaza by any means necessary. The police have received no instructions from City Hall to send officers to enforce an eviction. Thank you, City leaders. Holding a meeting on crime prevention at night in the middle of an unstable situation is unwise. It requires law-abiding citizens to cross a picket line of law-breakers with uncertain consequences. It further emphasizes to those interested in preventing crime that the Oakland City Council and the Mayor have no interest in enforcing the laws of the City. The people in Oakland are watching this whole scene unfold and judging accordingly. Penelope H. Bevan 3920 Oakmore Road Oakland, Ca 94602 510-531-6820

20th Anniversary of the Oakland/Berkeley Hills Firestorm Honor & Prepare for a Fire Safe Future
Twenty years ago, Oakland faced what was then the worst urban fire disaster in the nation's history. On October 20, 1991, at 11 am Diablo winds gusting at 65 mph fanned flames and swept through 1600 acres in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills, killing 25 people, injuring 150 residents and destroying more than 3000 homes at an economic loss of $1.5 billion. At the fire's peak, it destroyed one home every 11 seconds! Many lessons were learned that day and in the years since. But the most important lesson is that we can prepare for a fire safe future today--and that we must do it now, before the next fire or earthquake. Join us in commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Oakland/Berkeley Hills Firestorm by Honoring and Preparing for a Fire Safe Future.

GEORGE PHILLIPS.. YOU'RE ADDING TO MY EMOTIONAL DISTRESS... WHAT IS THE HOLD UP WITH THE SIMPLEST FIXES IN OPD??? It's now the 19th and I STILL HAVE YET TO EVEN HAVE THE SIMPLE ISSUES RESOLVED... HOWARD JORDAN, Why is it taking soo long to follow up and follow through with even the simplest issue you were to resolve back on 9/27??? As you already are aware, I have several valid complaints of negligence, dishonesty, reckless behaviors against Sgt. George Phillips and although he has made "significant progress" on the case (which I just found on on 9/27), he has cause me and my family an indescribable amount of irreparable emotional damage.. Not only did he compromise my safety and My/ Daddy's business by violating a court order (because he didn't do his research) by bringing the person who is responsible for Daddy's Murder & who's also made death threats and had her affiliates come after me in a car chase to my place of business without notifying me, not following proper procedure.... But because of Sgt. Phillips reckless & negligent behaviors in not following proper procedure and blatantly lied, I now have to see and hear about others seeing The Truck (THAT I HELD THE PHYSICAL PINK SLIP FOR, IN ADDITION AM THE EXECUTOR OF THE TRUST/ RESPONSIBLE FOR) anywhere from Richmond to Oakland, damn near every day and we lost that strong memory of our father, BECAUSE OF GEORGE PHILLIPS..
Because of Sgt. George Phillips and his lack of returning simple phone calls when I called him in distress the night of the car chase, and even more recently when I received death threats and pleaded to him and your office for help and to trace calls, he treated me with low priority and with the email response he sent, Even SAN LEANDRO PD CONFIRMED HE WAS GIVING ME THE "OUTRIGHT BRUSH OFF TREATMENT" and because of all of the stress when he couldn't even do the simplest things, I lost my child in miscarriage a short time after (BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS.. NOT DADDY'S DEATH.. BUT GEORGE).... Even my mother called me and asked me to relay and she also wrote a letter requesting that there be another form of contact because of the critical amount of emotional distress it causes my brother to even talk to him or hear his voice, because he's just as effected and that truck was supposed to go to HIM (for ME to administer to him once it was cleared)..... I CAN'T EVEN STAND HEARING HIS VOICE, LITERALLY.... I am so full of rage/ upset with Sgt. George Phillips it's not even funny, for how he mishandled things, lied & was reckless and I don't ever want to talk to him again. But as issues come up, I have no choice but to call him and leave messages and/or email BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RESOLVE THE SIMPLEST REQUEST THAT YOU AGREED TO..... DO YOU REALIZE THE EFFECT YOU ARE CAUSING?????????? I MEAN REALLY????? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU AND PHILLIPS AND ALL OF THIS UNNECESSARY CRAP THAT I NOW HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE A THERAPIST BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF STRESS CAUSED THAT COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDABLE IF YOU HAD JUST DONE YOUR JOBS, FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURE, TELL THE TRUTH AND DO THE RIGHT THING... IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU, PHILLIPS AND YOUR DEPARTMENT THAT I HAVE TO SEE A THERAPIST TO GET MY STRESS UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE I LOST ALL OF DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING OF MY DAD FROM THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT AND NOT JUST TAKING TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PROTECT AND SERVE!!!!!!!!!! BUT FOR ALL I STATED IN THE MEETING AND IT WAS APPARENT THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE YOU AGREED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, YOU HAVEN'T DONE A THING... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PURPOSELY DRAG YOUR FEET TO MAKE THINGS HARD ON ME, BUT LET ME TELL YOU, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF OTHERS, IF THAT IS YOUR INTENT... Since My Father's Murder, as My Brother is physically and mentally disabled, EVERYTHING HAS FALLEN ON MY SHOULDERS N WITH THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MURDER BECAUSE SHE WANTED HIM TO PURPOSELY DECOMPOSE AS EVEN THE FUNERAL HOME CONFIRMED 1ST HAND.... IT'S ONLY ME WHO IS KEEPING THE BUSINESS RUNNING AND PAYING FOR ALL THESE LEGAL PROJECTS NOT JUST FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT BUT OTHER AS I HAVE NO CHOICE IN BEING PLACED AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE TRUST.. EVEN NOW, AS DADDY WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TO PRIMARILY KEEP MY BROTHER IN CHECK, MAINTAIN ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS SINCE MY BROTHER IS MENTALLY INCOMPETENT, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE CONSERVATORSHIP OVER MY BROTHER BECAUSE HIS LIFE HAS FALLEN APART AND NO ONE ELSE IS CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF HIM... SO ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE HELP AND IF YOU'RE TRULY SORRY FOR MY LOSS, YOU'D DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB & TUCK YOUR EGO IN YOUR BACK POCKET.. As My Father left both My Brother & I life insurance, Sgt. Phillips already cleared us back in May... Since then, unbeknownst to me, there is an additional policy in which the Insurance Agency located both me and my brother.. As they sent a form for Phillips to fill out, he returned the form, showing the case is still open (which is to be expected), but showed no indication that I, nor my brother are cleared. He already knows me and my brother have nothing to do with what ever happened to Daddy... Howard, since you STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THAT SIMPLE REQUEST, as my brother contacted me last week, I left a message for George to please contact the insurance people and correct. If there is something that I'm not aware of, please let me know... Didn't hear a word from (which I didn't want to hear anyways)... I sent a follow up email yesterday and no word.. I was contacted by the Life Insurance Agency this morning, as well as my brother and left another message for Phillips and I REALLY CAN'T TAKE EVEN HEARING ON VOICEMAIL (I will never forgive him for some of the shyt he pulled).. But there is no response.. The request doesn't take but less than 3 minutes to complete and not that hard.. Now my guess for you, Howard, is because I struck a chord with your ego at the meeting, your purposely dragging your feet (which you intently made clear with an uncooperative response towards the end of the meeting) to try to make me suffer..... For George, since I started the Hell Storm and Complaint Process with Him
10
since June (after I found out about the Truck) and bringing wrath, he's probably doing the same.... It may have been a simple fix, but judging how you and him carried yourselves, so far, I say his behavior is intent.... The sooner situations get resolved, the sooner I'll get off of your cases... PLEASE FIND AN ALTERNATE CONTACT BECAUSE I REALLY CANNOT STAND HEARING SGT. PHILLIPS VOICE, NOR CAN MY BROTHER & I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM, DIRECTLY..... ALSO, CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE HIM RESPOND TO THE EMAIL I SENT YESTERDAY IN RESOLVING WITH THAT QUICK FIX FOR THE LIFE INSURANCE, (WHICH HE ALREADY DID FOR THE PREVIOUS COMPANY) OR SOMEONE FROM YOUR OFFICE (BESIDES HIM) LET ME KNOW STATUS??? THANKS IN ADVANCE AND ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU TURN TABLES AND LIVE LIFE THROUGH MY EYES AND THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY I'M SO UPSET, DISGUSTED & MAD AS A HORNET WITH HOW EVERYTHING IS BEING TREATED, HOWARD..

This is a follow up from The email I sent to you, dated 9/30/2011, after our meeting on 9/27/2011. It is now 10/17/2011 and I still have yet to hear a response directly from you... Although you are Interim Chief (until OPD finds a permanent placement), I understand you have assistants.. However, as I met DIRECTLY WITH YOU in addressing issues on 9/27/2011 and you made several inaccurate statements, was to resolve the request to find an alternate method contact/ correspondence due to the irreparable & extreme emotional distress caused with any type of communication by Sgt. George Phillips, correcting the blatant lie you told in trying to cover for him, in addition to you following up with the outstanding issue of the property access rights/ coordination, I expect to hear DIRECTLY from you and have not heard ONE RESPONSE, FOLLOW UP, CORRECTION OR OTHER... With as much time that's gone by and you knew you messed in the meeting by not being prepared and lied and tried to brush things off, it just seems that you really don't care about your job, nor your department, or you're just too comfortable in your position thinking you can get away with anything... That's a sad frame of mind either way, so I'm going to ask once again as I initially did on 9/27 & 9/30, to correct your inaccurate statements, lie you told and follow through with what you said you were going to do.. Again, as I stopped your sentence in the beginning of the meeting because I already knew it was superficial and I stated that if you truly are sorry for my loss, you'd just do your job, making things easier for me.... So again, I ask Interim Chief, HOW TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS CONSISTENTLY HAVE SPOKEN DIFFERENT THAN YOUR MOUTHPIECE... Although I had to correct you on several inaccurate statements you made since it was clear as day that you did NOT read through any of the documents, DID NOT contact the City Attorney and did NOT do your homework/ research, it was very apparent that you entered uncharted territory and wasn't ready for it... Among the list of things, discussed, ONE THING YOU DID AGREE TO DO AS AN EASY FIX was to find an alternate contact, rather than continue to correspond with Sgt. Phillilps... Because of the amount of unnecessary stress Sgt. Phillips
11
has caused our family, including me losing a baby with the stress caused with the multiple acts of malicious negligence and reckless behaviors, violating court orders that compromised my safety and other, it really has taken a mental toll on me and my brother... As I disclosed before that my brother has even called my mother and me crying, breaking down after every time he talks to Phillips... You "acted" like you understood and appeared to be fully cooperative in agreement.. As you have other officers contacting me to schedule meetings (even for other officers), all you had to do is designate a 3rd party to contact as a bridge way for Me/My Brother & Phillips... However, never received a follow up from this simple fix... Since the meeting on 9/27, Sgt. George Phillips directly contacted My Brother, asking him for MY ADDRESS IN WHICH HE ALREADY HAS... He knows how to contact me.. He called my brother because he was going to send some resource information for a Grievance Counselor... A GRIEVANCE COUNSELOR 7 MONTHS AFTER MY DAD HAS BEEN DEAD AND FOR ALL THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND HE'S JUST NOW DISCLOSING THIS INFORMATION??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? I dont' know if he's purposely trying to contact my brother to purposely agitate him, but it is very apparent that you did not even address the issue with Phillips because he still called my brother, days after the meeting on 9/27..... After my brother called both me and my mother, crying and already borderline nervous break down, SINCE YOU COULDN'T EVEN COMPLETE THE SIMPLEST OF TASKS, I HAD TO DIRECTLY CONTACT PHILLIPS AND LEAVE A MESSAGE LETTING HIM KNOW TO PLEASE STOP CONTACTING MYSELF AND MY BROTHER AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DESIGNATED AN ALTERNATE CONTACT... IT'S NOW 10/18 AND STILL NO WORD, JORDAN... So again I ask, How TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR OUR LOSS? As I've spoken to a few associates, clients and other who work in your department, I agree with them 1,000% in saying that you are "full of yourself", "egotistical" and "a slug"... As I stated in the initial email below on 9/30, everything was all smiles and charm until I started correcting you and calling you out on your inaccurate statements as I saw you weren't prepared.. From there, I don't care how you try to mask it, but you became more defensive, impatient, turned uncooperative as it seemed I struck a chord with your ego...... From wanting to help with simple fixes quickly changed as you saw the situation can no longer be brushed off and was all avoidable... Where you stated that you would contact the City Attorney, and I asked you for a time line and you refused to give one, why is that Sgt. Bolten took a few moments to check in on the matter and doing what you should have done? It was very apparent in the meeting that as I called you out on your lie and inaccurate/ inconsistent statements, that you were trying to find a way to make me suffer.. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Interim Chief Jordan.. With the behaviors you displayed, even in that short meeting and following after, tells me that you will never be a Permanent Chief and Always a Temporary because you have the wrong frame of mind in leadership and what your badge stands for.... As for a "Slug", That also fits you extremely well as it's all consistent with the behaviors from the meeting and looking at almost 3 weeks later and you still didn't do due diligence on the things you did agree to carry out.. I'm not even going to define this term as you already defined it for me on Page 15 of Your Deposition from 1/21/11 with your case against Derwin Longmire, but your actions cleary define who you are and this label suits you in how you've handled this entire project.... I am not purposely trying to go out of my way to attack you or your character.. But when you show any type of inconsiderate, unjust behavior and mistreatment towards me (especially when it's not justified in truth), I have even less consideration for you... Just do what was asked of you and follow through with what you were supposed to do (even from jump)... If folks just did the right thing and do what they were/ are supposed to, you wouldn't have to deal with this... As I run businesses and even a rule of thumb in dealing with life??? If you don't want people to complain, especially about the same thing, then don't give them a reason to... Either resolve it and keep it moving or try to get it right the first time.... Interim Chief Jordan, in pushing forward, because of your intent negligent and reckless behaviors, I will be pushing forward to file a complaint against you, adding in with the bunch of bad apples... Thanks for making my claim against the city easier as all you had to do was do what was asked of you (even before the meeting) and carry out simple tasks, and you couldn't even do that and let your ego get in the way... Please see below for original email sent as I still have not heard a response and you are clearly a liability for the city... "Pour tous ceux qui rpondre mes appels l'aide, et de faire diligence raisonnable grce la justice, la vrit, de vritables actes de le coeur, et ne pas traiter comme priorit faible, peuvent vous tre bni un million de fois plus avec la gentillesse vous montrer d'autres personnes ...

I will make this as brief as possible and straight to the point. First and Foremost, Sergeant Benton, I want to say that I truly appreciate you being present and for your insight and the way you carried yourself, overall.... With the issues surrounding the trust (gaining access to property,etc)... You stepped up and expressed that with situations like these, it's not a common thing (explanation why the situation has been mistreated), but you came across in being open to listening and looking for a solution (not writing it off since it's uncharted territory).... As you spoke, you took responsibility/ accountability, not just for yourself in understanding and experience as you worked Patrol (putting yourself in a position to see why things were handled the way they were), but Officers in your department Overall... If you weren't familiar with something, you were upfront in saying so, but presented an openness in being willing to learn and explore to resolve.... You took responsibility/accountability with an open mind to resolve and that is a Strong Trait of a Leader... Even with addressing the issue as to why Chief Batts HAS NEVER responded at any point, you explained that, taking responsibility and I appreciate that... Even for after the meeting was done, you took the initiative to walk us to the Elevator and Explain some things but you made an attempt to bring closure with a "POSITIVE" resolve. Sgt. Benton, for your participation in the meeting and after, YOU ARE APPRECIATED AND SHOW GREAT TRAITS OF LEADERSHIP.... THANK YOU... Assistant Chief Howard Jordan, let me first say that it was a pleasure (at first) meeting you.... As a compliment, I will say that you just as much extremely attractive on the news as you are in person.. You have a very strong and confident presence with an initial pleasant charm... What I am about say, as I speak in truth is I am extremely disappointed and offended by the meeting in how you conducted yourself, trying to figure out how did you get so hi in ranking... How can someone attractive, sharp, bright & charming on the exterior be so careless, dishonest, egotistical, insecure & "Unsmart" on the interior.... Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? Just saying and not even trying to be mean but you definitely are That Example... As you treated this meeting and my file overall (complaints, concerns) with such inconsideration and carelessness, I have even less regard/
consideration for you at this point... As I have a lot of friends, associates, clients and other in your department, SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU ABOUT ME... I'M NOT OF THAT GENERAL POPULATION & VERY MUCH A RARE SPECIES AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.... If you knew better, you would have done better.... Since you didn't, maybe this will give you incentive to correct the mistakes you made in the meeting.. Assistant Chief Jordan, from the beginning of the meeting, I picked up on your type in knowing you were gonna be full of shit and shady the moment you said "I'm sorry for your loss......... " (I picked it up in your voice)... That's why I stopped you because I already knew your condolences were superficial... As I stated if you truly are sorry, then do your job and make things easier for me.... The FIRST QUESTION I asked you is if you did your research
13
(homework).. You replied , "Somewhat"... That tells me right there how much care and attention you put into My File of Situations/ Concerns/ Requests surrounding My Safety and My Father's Homicide and shows me how truly sorry you are for My Loss (which is none whatsoever).. As there were several issues to discuss, I will say Thank You for resolving the "simple issues"... Although I wanted to have the case re assigned from Sgt. George Phillips because of his several acts of Negligence, Poor Customer Service & Dishonesty, I do understand and can respect the reason why you will not do so... Since NO ONE EVER CALLS ME OR CONTACTS ME OR RESPONDS with Status, I did not know of significant progress (and confirmation of information)... With what you disclosed, I can respect and agree that a Private Investigator is not needed for this case... I have no arguments with that... Thank You for honoring my request of finding an alternate method of communication since Phillips has caused so much emotional distress (with his foul ups) to me and my family.. I look forward to the update very soon.... Now on the main tip, You made SEVERAL MISTAKES & YOU LIED, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN AND YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF... You've had full knowledge of all of my complaints, emails, all documentation as there was a meeting ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED on 8/4/2011... You had from Late July until then to "do your homework" (research).. The meeting was cancelled and you went home before the meeting slot was even over and it was RESCHEDULED FOR 8/17/2011... You had from 8/4/11 until 8/17/11 to "do your
homework" (research).... As Chief's Assistant, Yolanda Morris (who is also a liar) cancelled the meeting the day of 8/17/11, since you had an urgent meeting elsewhere, I didn't hear a word and things got escalated to where I FINALLY met with you this past Tuesday (9/27/11)... In all of this time, You had from Late July until Tuesday (9/27, exactly 2 months after initial meeting was scheduled) to "do your homework" (research).. You had all this time to research the emails and all attachments (That Chief Batts, Sgt Phillips & You had all this time), take a few moments to call the City Attorney to run scenarios by her, asking questions and getting confirmation and clarification of what can be done, proper policy procedure and other... But YOU DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING & LOOK EVEN WORSE THAN CAPTAIN STEVE TULL... How do I know? You told on yourself as it showed throughout the entire meeting.... Per our discussion on Tuesday, you made several inaccurate statements and I want you to confirm or correct what you said... For the issue of gaining access on the property to retrieve the rest of My Father's Belongings that are ALL LISTED IN THE TRUST, I provided and re attaching the following: -The Revocable Trust My Father (deceased) created from 2007, which includes the Grant Deed that Shows His SOLE Ownership of the Property, Information in the Trust confirming the Property was to go to ONLY Me and My Brother, Yancy P. Johnson -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Trust -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Property with Rights YOU'VE HAD ALL OF THIS INFORMATION SINCE LATE JULY AND POSSIBLY BEFORE, AC JORDAN AS IT WAS ATTACHED IN THE EMAILS.... I have made several attempts to access the property with Civil Standby's and as the person who is Responsible for My Father's Murder (My Estranged Stepmother) has squatted on the property and lied alleging it was her house and property (after I provided the same documentation to the responding officers), your officers refused me access to my own property and brushed it off as a "civil issue", stating that a court order is required (which is inaccurate as your city attorney and my attorney confirmed)... There is no reason, as I provided all necessary documentation to the responding officers and your department that I should not have been able to get onto that property, retrieve personal properties and carry out my duties of the Trust as the Trustee/ Administrator/ Executor as even MY ATTORNEY WAS PRESENT ON ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS AND ALSO IN DISBELIEF BECAUSE OF IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE SITUATION..
14
As you also confirmed that what I am requesting is a "civil matter", you DID NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND CHECK WITH YOUR CITY ATTORNEY BEFORE MAKING THAT STATEMENT... As you asked me the same questions in several different forms of do I have documentation to confirm that I have access and other, I DO AND I PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO & EVEN THE MORNING OF THE MEETING.. YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AND READ THAT IF YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH!!!!! BUT YOU DIDN'T, WHICH SHOWS ME HOW TRULY SORRY YOU ARE FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND TAKE CARE OF THE TASK THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU.... DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!! As you've had this file/ emails/ documentation since Late July, it wasn't until the meeting on Tuesday (9/27) that you said you will contact Rocio Fierro ... I asked if you can also contact and coordinate with My Attorney and you refused, already appearing to be flustered because I had to correct you... I don't care how much you were trying to keep your cool, I could with your body language, eye movements and slight change in color, you were flustered... I asked you how soon can I hear from you on this because as I've been trying to make attempts since March with Civil Standbys and All and since then, The house has been foreclosed on, The Person responsible for My Father's Murder has Stolen everything out the house (family heirlooms, furniture, pictures,etc) and the only thing I need to get is The Vehicle that's in the carport since I am now being sued for it as The Administrator of The Trust and My Estranged Stepmother's Car is blocking it.... You tried to brush the question off so I asked more directly, "Can you please give me a time when I can hear from you and have this resolved?".. You responded, directly, "No, I will not give you a time...." in a very short tone and I could tell you were agitated.. YOU HAVE SOME NERVE AND YOU DON'T THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, I SEE... So let me get this straight, as I'm already in process of filing a claim against the city and your department (taking money away from the already over budgeted city and your short staffed department) because of the several careless acts of negligence caused primarily by Sgt. George Phillips, I've already suffered the loss of My Father, have had death threats that your department gave the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD confirmed, have lost damn near all sentimental belongings that were in that house by being stolen (photos, heirlooms, furniture, his clothes, etc) because your department didn't know to follow the proper procedure and have suffered A GREAT AMOUNT OF STRESS BECAUSE OF THE ACTS OF INCONVENIENCES UNNECESSARILY CAUSED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT ALL SINCE MARCH..... And you can't be considerate enough to see with all of that, take a few moments, make a call or 2 to get proper clarification and confirmation and coordinate something that would only take less than an hour to resolve??? As much as a few of your officers have messed up so far, you can't take a few moments out of the day to JUST DO YOUR JOB, RESOLVING THE MATTER QUICKLY JUST SO WE CAN ALL MOVE ON?? The sooner you do your job, the sooner I'll stop bugging you.... As I'm already in process of filing a claim against the City and Your Department because of your "non education" with the issue of gaining access to the property with the Trust & Administration Documentation as I was refused access, inaccurately passing things off as a "civil matter" and since March, Everything has been stolen out of the house since then, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN EGO PROBLEM BECAUSE I CORRECTED YOU ON SOME THINGS, YOU'RE WILLING TO COST THE CITY AN ADDITIONAL $125,000+ (The Value of The Car)???? ALL THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND FOLLOW UP ON A TASK THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU SINCE LATE JULY???? You ought to be ashamed and May God Have Mercy On YOUR SOUL WITH THE MISTREATMENT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS.. So, Assistant Chief Jordan, how much do you really care about the city and your department??? How Truly Are You Sorry for My Loss as You So Superficially Stated??? How much do you truly honor your badge and what it stands for in protecting and serving??? Your actions spoke louder than your words, Jordan and I'm offended and disappointed.... You're too attractive and high ranking to be so foolish and careless...
15
The Simplest Resolution I am Requesting??? I am just asking for a Civil Stand by... I will coordinate (as I've done before) with Tow Trucks, Attorney and Locksmiths to gain access through the gate and onto the property... Since My Estranged Stepmother's (who is also the suspect in looking to be charged with Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft, Attempt to Commit Fraud (Insurance Agency), Fraud/ Forgery with DMV & Falsifying Information on a Police Report) other car is parked in the driveway, blocking the carport, if she is there, the officer will tell her to move her car out of the driveway so I can have access... If she is not there, I will have her car towed and placed on the street. I will remove the vehicle listed in the trust, check the property to see if there are any other items listed in the trust (the house has been damn near completely cleaned out but still need to check) and be done... I am just asking that with all the information provided to your department, confirming ownership and rights onto the property and personal property listed to the trust be advised to the responding officer so if the Squatter aka Suspect aka Estranged Stepmother tries to feed some garbage out her property and other, the officer will know the situation ahead of time and be able to act accordingly, instead of refusing access and brushing off as a civil matter (which has been an ongoing inaccurate occurrence).. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN SINCE THIS CAN ALL BE DONE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR... With the topic of status of the rest of My Father's Belongings that were in that truck and on his body, and the issue of releasing property, again the issue of the Trust came up as I provided all of this documentation to Sgt. Phillips since the beginning and you had in your possession since Late July (emails attachments with the complaints/requests).. A Trust is defined as a Legal Obligation given by a person called the donor or settler (my dad), binding upon the Trustee (Administrator/ Executor) of the Trust, for the benefit of another (referred to as beneficiary).. Assistant Chief Jordan, you directly stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a civil matter and property is released to next of Kin (which would be My estranged Stepmother).... You made the same mistake Captain Tull Did as you did not DO YOUR RESEARCH/ HOMEWORK... I questioned your statement because if that was the case, why did Sgt. George Phillips, out of negligence, directly contact my brother (beneficiary) about The Truck (that was Illegally Auctioned Off, Later) that My Father Was murdered in, instead of My Estranged Stepmother??? You responded that Phillips did contact My Stepmother and she told him to give the truck to my brother.... You didn't say "Phillips may have" or "Possibly"..... You directly responded with that statement with confidence as if it was a fact... Assistant Chief Jordan, your response was a COMPLETE BOLD FACED BAD LIE AND YOU NEED TO QUIT IT!! I KNOW THAT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE BECAUSE WHEN I PUT SGT. PHILLIPS ON SPOT, HE STATED DIRECTLY (via email and verbal on voicemail) THAT HE RELEASED THE TRUCK DIRECTLY TO MY BROTHER SINCE HE IS THE "BENEFICIARY" OF THAT TRUCK.... So not only did you try to cover for Phillips, but you got caught in a LIE, not knowing what I already knew... AS YOU TAKE AN OATH OF LOYALTY TO THE BADGE AND ALL IT STANDS FOR IN PROTECTING AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY, DON'T EVER LIE AND ESPECIALLY DON'T EVER LIE TO ME!!! Your colleagues should have warned you about me because I'm not the general population female.... So back to the Trust, as you stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a "civil matter" and property is released to next of kin, I asked you "are you sure?" and "Can you email me what you just stated" because if that's the case, your department and the city would be covered with law suites and liabilities.. You stopped (already flustered because I've corrected you a few times already) and had to think about it and said you'll check with the city Attorney.. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THIS SINCE BEFORE OUR INITIAL MEETING THAT WAS CANCELLED ON 8/4 AND HAD THE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES THE ENTIRE TIME BUT DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.. So how much time did you put into this project, Assistant Chief??? Lastly, although I have filed a complaint against Sgt Phillips, it has nothing to do with him continuing the investigation.... And the case is still open... One of my main complaints, as My Brother and Daddy's Best
16
Friend both confirmed to you is that there were leads that were provided with direct knowledge, even from the beginning and Sgt. Phillips never contacted many of them... Also, as I received Death Threats already knowing it's related to the person responsible for Daddy's Murder (My estranged stepmother), I asked to have my records traced and cross referenced to Daddy's and see any connection.. I received the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD's Officers Confirmed.. I asked you in pushing forward, can he please do the trace & investigate to see if there is any connection and call the leads... You directly told me I have to file a complaint in order for him to do that... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, SOMETIMES.. JUST SAYING.... So Assistant Chief Jordan, let me get this straight... As the investigation is still open, you mean to tell me that with investigating as sometimes we have to back track our notes, exhaust leads and just check into information, I have to file a complaint for him to turn over a stone that he already has knowledge of??? So you're telling me that if I provided information to your department for an open investigation that might possibly be helpful, I have to waste the City's Over Budgeted Spending on Filing a Complaint, having people to review it and then tell him to do his job??? You mean to tell me, you'd rather for me to file a complaint, rather than you telling him to take a few minutes just to follow up on something to exhaust a possible lead/ connection that could possibly close the case, sooner so he can move on???? Assistant Chief Jordan, It appears that YOU'RE A LIABILITY TO THE CITY WITH HOW MUCH YOU'RE COSTING THEM WITH POOR JUDGEMENT & WASTING TIME..... So let me ask again, Are you SURE I HAVE TO FILE/ ADD COMPLAINT IN ORDER FOR PHILLIPS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH INFORMATION HE NEVER CHECKED ON AND IS ALSO RELATED TO MY SAFETY?? Since you didn't do your homework and as I've mentioned I've been involved with a car chase since Daddy's Homicide, Received Death Threats and Other.. Let me remind you as I, along with everyone else knows I'm the Next Target?? Is because for the person responsible for his murder (my estranged stepmother) has a motive of pure hate towards me (which is why she is acting the way she is and committed all these separate crimes since)... When my father was alive, and I was the closest person to him, I was not only his business partner and Daddy's Girl, But His Doberman (My Nickname).... What ever he told me to do, I did while he sat back and relaxed... For the person responsible for Daddy's Murder, upon request, I have fired her from the job a few times, repossessed the car she was driving.. When Daddy wanted to separate in the past from her, I coordinate everything and made it happen... When Daddy didn't want to be around her and she was stalking and harassing him, I prepared the protective orders for him and all he had to do was sign and be there.. Even for the eviction, I'm the one who prepared the document, he signed it and I served her for him and was to complete the process.. After his death and as you will see, he didn't leave her in charge and really didn't leave her anything, including a life insurance policy, she's still angry and blamed me for years for why he didn't want to be with her... So as you see from the tons of police reports & restraining orders and other, just as she removed him, the story is not over.. With your actions on Tuesday, tells me either way, you don't give a damn as your ego is too much in the way and you're too busy and you're too lazy and/or comfortable in your position to research anything.... Either way, Jordan, I'm going give you a fair shot here and ask that you correct your inaccuracies and do the right thing... As the meeting was from 2-2:30, it ran over and as time grew closer to 3, I observed something and want to point it out... On the day of the initial meeting, which was scheduled from 3-3:30, I called the patrol desk when I was trying to find parking to let them know to notify you I'm there but will be in a few minutes late, although my brother and daddy's friend were already there and waiting.. As I came in around 3:10 and waited in line (since McDonald told My Brother that he wasn't going to acknowledge him because he wasn't supposed to be in the meeting), when I finally talk to McDonald, he called the 8th Floor and told me
17
the meeting was cancelled... I didn't understand and it was Kiona Suttle that came down stairs to inform me that Jordan had already left and he usually gets off by 3:15 (This was approximately 3:17).. I showed her my call log to confirm when I called into Patrol at 2:57.... Kiona then went upstairs and went to find someone to meet with us... She came downstairs, apologetic and confirmed no one was available and instructed me to call to reschedule with Yolanda... But one fact is JORDAN WAS GONE BEFORE THE MEETING TIME SLOT WAS OVER BEFORE 3:17... I made a complaint about this shortly after and Yolanda called to address the issue and stated that Jordan was there the day of the meeting and did not leave early.... I could tell she was lying on the phone... But for confirmation??? One thing I noticed is in the meeting, as it got closer to 3, Jordan you kept looking at your watch and I could see you growing slightly impatient (like you were ready to go).... That was confirmation enough for me too see that your actions were consistent with the apology and update Kiona gave to me (IN TRUTH) on 8/4/11 and Yolanda is a lied, after the fact, trying to cover for YOU... YOU GUYS NEED TO QUIT LYING SO MUCH AND JUST DO YOUR JOB!!! WHAT ARE WE (THE CITY) PAYING YOU AND SUPPORTING YOU FOR????? DO THE RIGHT THING AND QUIT PLAYIN REINDEER GAMES!!!!! So Assistant Chief, Jordan?? As The meeting was held on Tuesday, I never received a follow up from the meeting, even to correct your inaccurate statements, but I am requesting response and resolution to these matters no later than Wednesday, October 5th, at close of the day.... These simple requests only take a few minutes to complete and as you didn't do your job and research before, and you WASTED MY TIME WITH THE MEETING SINCE YOU WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED, DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME AROUND... IF I DON'T HERE FROM YOU, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC TO BE ROLLED UNDER THE BUS WITH THE REST OF THE GENERAL POPULATION OF BAD APPLES WITH COMPLAINTS, CITIZEN'S REVIEW BOARD, ADDING TO THE CITY'S CLAIM AND OTHER... YOU'RE NOT ONLY COSTING ME MONEY AND WASTING MY TIME, BUT YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING TO THE CITY & YOUR DEPARTMENT... JUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND COMPLETE THE TASKS THAT WERE HANDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO!!!! PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENTS ONCE AGAIN THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HAD IN YOUR POSSESSION FOR 2 MONTHS, REVIEW, RESEARCH AND RESOLVE, APPROPRIATELY!!!! WITH THAT HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND....

Dear Glenfriends: East Bay Express Endorses Measure I The East Bay Express this week endorsed Measure I, acknowledging that the city has made very deep cuts to services and employee pay - they call it a "fair share" proposal: "Because of the Great Recession, Oakland's tax revenues have plummeted more than 20 percent in the past several years. As a result, the city has been forced to cut many vital services. In addition, the city's employee unions agreed to more concessions earlier this year, helping close a huge budget deficit. Most notably, the Oakland police officers' union finally agreed to pay 9 percent into its pension plan. Consequently, we view Measure I, a parcel tax measure on the current mail-only ballot, as representing a "fair share" proposal and we support it." > >This is just a portion of the article. > >In addition, here are the list of key endorsements for those who may not be aware: > >The City Council voted 7-1 to put it before the voters in response to neighborhood and business leaders, and concerned Oakland residents from every district working together to pass it. > >Latest list of endorsers include: >- Mayor Jean Quan >- Council President Larry Reid >- Councilmembers Pat Kernighan, Rebecca Kaplan, Nancy Nadel >- Congressmember Barbara Lee >- Metropolitan Oakland Chamber of Commerce >- Former Councilmember Dick Spees >- Former City Manager Henry Gardner >- Alameda Labor Council, AFL-CIO >- Alameda Building Trades Council >- Alameda County Democratic Central Committee >- MGO Democratic Club >- Wellstone Democratic Club >- Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment >- Block by Block Organizing Network >- Ppolice Chief Howard Jordan >- Fire Chief Mark Hoffman >- Oakland Parks Coalition >- Friends of Oakland Parks & Recreation > >InsideBayArea.com reported on October 22, 2011 about where Measure I money will go. This plan was

approved by the Oakland City Council last Tuesday. Here's the quick breakdown for the $11 million that Measure I will create for each of the next two years if passed by 2/3 of Oakland voters: > >- $5.1 million to the police department to train and hire more officers and buy equipment. >- $1.5 million to public works to restore staffing for street and pothole repair. >- $1.2 million to parks and recreation to restore restore gardener and tree-trimmmer jobs. >- $800,000 for IT services to polic and libraries >- $600,000 to improve street lighting to prevent crime. >- $500,000 for a youth summer jobs program >- $400,000 for youth violence prevention and restorative justice programs. >- $350,000 to keep senior centers open longer. >- $200,000 to expand the city's contract with ShotSpotter, which provides technology police use to track the location and sometimes the direction and caliber of gunshots. >- $100,000 to restore library hours during winter breaks. >- $100,000 for a crime analysis software contract. > >Regards, >Kit > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1)

33
Mayor Quan and Fred, Attached are the evolution of the TIGER III application senarios. Last weeks versions are Plans A,B, and C which were the basis of our discussions with the Port. Plan 1 was what I distributed to the Port and developer. The Port immediately pushed back on the concept of including any private funding in their OHIT Rail Yard. Plans 2A and 2B reflect the Ports position but provide for a lesser Phase One for the the Port OHIT. Plan 2A Maximum Private Investment illustrates a $415,400,000 project as a result of characterizing the Phase One Prologis and Recyclers buildings as a part of the TIGER III project and leveraging $100,000,000 of TCIF. It goes a long way in addressing most of the OAB's infrastrucure needs and even includes $20 million for Safety improvements to the 7th Street grade seperation. Plan 2B Minimum Private Investment illustrates a $215,400,000 project becuase it does not include the $100,000,000 in private Logistics buildings. It addresses our backbone infrastrucure needs but falls far short in reading the sites for development. In neither Plan do I not include a very important potential private improvement, the Ports America (POA) On Dock Rail. We do not have a stake in that deal nor do we have any sense of timing. The developer may be able to get something from POA that would enable its inclusion in the TIGER III application. In both Plans 2A and 2B, I am assuming, at a minimum, the inclusion of private rail investments on our property and private investment into the West Gateway. I know that the developer is investigating how these assumptions and a very different set of sources and uses may emerge from his work. I am copying Toni Horst, with AECOM, who I believe may be meeting with you in DC. Toni is our consultant drafting our application, which from her point of view is a very moving target. I do not think you should share the level of detail in these senarios with people at DOT but Toni will be able to advise us on how best to structure our application. Bigger may not be better for the purpouses of TIGER III. The large private leverage senario is really crutial when we amend the TCIF Baseline Agreements to reflect the greatly reduced costs for 7th Street and the greatly increased Backbone, Site, and West Gatewy Marine Terminal costs. Fred, I left with Maisha hard copies and flash drive copies of the materials you will want to bring to DC. She was going to make final presentation hard copies for you. Please confrim that she has gotten them to you. Pat Patrick Cashman Community and Economic Development Agency 250 Frank Ogawa Plaza, 5th floor Oakland, CA 94612 510 238 6281 office 510 427 2206 cell

The federal government on Monday announced new rules that would allow many more struggling borrowers to refinance their mortgages at todays ultra-low rates, reducing monthly payments for some homeowners and potentially providing a modest boost to the economy.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Rep. Michele Bachmann's former New Hampshire campaign staff explaining in a press release why they decided to resign en masse: "The manner in which some in the national team conducted themselves towards Team-NH was rude, unprofessional, dishonest, and at times cruel."
COMMENT OF THE DAY

42
prosecutor1, on Chris Cillizza's "Why Bobby Jindal (still) matters" story: There is a reason why the criticism of Jindal on this thread is essentially substance free, but completely understandable: Jindal is a coming and clear threat for the Dems, as are several other successful GOP governors. He ran unopposed: that says it all.
Q&A DISCUSSIONS
Washington Post reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia was online at 12:30 p.m. ET to discuss "Marco Rubio's embellished family story": Q: I'm sorry Manuel. This is much ado about nothing. Your story was over 1600 words and all you had was that Rubio has been misstating the year of his parents' arrival in the US. Don't you guys have editors at the Washington Post? You also seemed to imply that Rubio is incorrect when he says he is the son of exiles. But he's correct. My question: Why didn't you wait until you had something a little substantive before writing this story? Manuel Roig-Franzia: My editors and I determined that this was newsworthy. And that's why we published the story. Sen. Rubio is one of the brightest stars in the Republican Party, a person invested with great hope among many in the party. He's also widely considered a possible vice presidential or presidential candidate in the future. We typically examine the statements of important public figures. And this story is an example of that approach. I'll let you draw your own implications about the worthiness of the story and any implications that you believe exist. You're certainly entitled to your opinion and I'd like to share your opinion with our readers so that they can take it into consideration as they assess this story. View full Q&A session

Dear City Administrator and City AttorneyI have received the memo sent this morning by the City Attorney in regards to the Tent Cities in Frank Ogawa Plaza and Snow Park. Id like to state for the record that as of today, 10/24/11, neither the City Attorney nor the City Administrators office have briefed the Council, or at least not me, on the tent city situation. I spoke with the City Administrator last Thursday to express concerns about the tent city in the plaza and was assured by her that they were working on a plan to deal with the situation, that an eviction order was to be issued shortly, and that they were prepared to take action, yet four days later, nothing has happened. I shared with our City Administrator last Thursday that I have received multiple complaints from residents and downtown businesses around Frank Ogawa Plaza, including complaints of stolen items, vandalism and a negative impact to sales resulting from illegal activities taking place in the Occupy Oakland campground. Despite the distribution informational materials regarding what is and what is not permissible in the Plaza, tensions continue to build in the Occupy Oakland campground and we as a City will be held liable for any damages and/or injuries. We all know that we will be held responsible for failing to take action and each day that passes, the Citys failure to act sends them the message that we will accept and tolerate their actions. Other municipalities across the Country including our neighbors in San Francisco and San Jose have not allowed camp sites to grow as we have here in Oakland, theyve both taken action to remove tents to avoid future larger conflicts between the camp tenants and the City, particularly police. What are the next steps to address the safety and health concerns and when will the campground be removed?

From: Sent: To: Subject: Announcements Monday, October 24, 2011 12:41 PM Announcements Update from City Administrator on Occupy Oakland
Dear City Staff, Today marks two weeks since the Occupy Oakland demonstration began in Frank Ogawa Plaza, and a small encampment at Snow Park near Lake Merritt has now developed. From the outset of the demonstration, the City of Oakland has focused on three clear goals: 1) facilitating the protesters right to free speech and peaceful expression, 2) maintaining public health and safety, and 3) crowd control. Last Thursday, the City put the demonstrators on notice that as a result of multiple conditionsincluding fire hazards, increased levels of violence, denial of access to public safety personnel to assist injured people, mounting sanitation hazards, health hazards, physical damage to the Plaza and lawn, graffiti, and disruption of the Plaza for broader public usethey were required to vacate the Plaza between 10 pm and 6 am. On Friday, the City issued a formal notice of violations and demand to cease overnight camping and cooking operations. In addition, on Friday night and throughout the weekend, the Citys homeless services team has been coordinating with Operation Dignity and Alameda County to arrange for shelter, meals, and service referrals for the homeless population camping on the Plaza. Starting today, the Fire Department will assist with the removal of propane tanks and cooking oil to address some of the fire hazards. Our goal is to facilitate individuals to remove their tents, cooking facilities, and belongings, and to leave cooperatively. We are partnering with community allies to help facilitate communication with the protesters regarding their departure, and we are providing services to assist those with housing and behavioral health needs. The City remains committed to respecting free speech as well as maintaining the Citys responsibility to protect public health and safety. Peaceful daytime assembly will continue to be allowed between 6 am and 10 pm daily, but no camping or overnight stays will be permitted. I greatly appreciate your patience these past two weeks, and I recognize the inconvenience (e.g., noise, sanitation issues, concern for safety, etc.) that you have faced as a result of the demonstration. We also appreciate that despite the distractions, you have continued to meet your work responsibilities. I want to personally thank you for staying focused and being patient. I ask for your continued patience. We do not anticipate that our efforts to facilitate the departure of overnight protesters will disrupt your work or require changes to your work schedule. Thank you for keeping your focus on providing outstanding service to our community. You can view the written communications we have delivered on the Citys home page at www.oaklandnet.com. Sincerely, Deanna J. Santana City Administrator

Of the three measures on Oakland's November 15 special election ballot, I hope you give special consideration to the one I wrote: Measure J. Measure J would reform Oakland's Police and Fire Retirement System. It would give Oakland some relief from skyrocketing pension costs and force us to manage pension payments more responsibly in the future. Like many cities, Oakland's mounting pension costs and unfunded liabilities are threatening our ability to deliver the most basic city services. Past commitments to generous pensions for retired city workers are overwhelming our ability to pay them and still fund current services like police, fire, public works, libraries and parks. California law severely limits the City's ability to change these costs and prohibits us from modifying our past commitments. Oakland's Police and Fire Retirement System "PFRS" has been closed to new hires since 1976, but still pays benefits to about 1,000 retirees. Because this retirement account is not fully funded, the City must pay the PFRS fund almost $46 million every year until 2026. Measure J would reduce the strain on Oakland's budget by trimming $4 million from the annual $46 million payment, in

exchange for a modest deadline extension of two years. Oakland's PFRS obligation is not a loan, so the 2 year extension under Measure J would not add interest charges. An analogy would be like giving yourself two more years to reach a savings goal. Measure J's amortization provision would force Oakland to make stable payments and add protections from market speculation and volatility. An independent financial expert, or actuary, will control how Measure J is used. The PFRS deadline would only be extended if the actuary can assure that it will be financially responsible and sustainable. Extending the PFRS deadline would not increase or extend any taxes or add any debt to the budget. This modest adjustment would reduce the strain of Oakland's annual pension payments by $4 million a year, enabling us to redirect that funding toward pressing matters like hiring more police and road repairs. In its endorsement, Make Oakland Better Now says "Measure J represents a realitybased response yielding budget relief and securing our promise to pensioners without the requirement of additional taxes or bonding." Measure J also is endorsed by the Democratic Party, Chamber of Commerce, Oakland Firefighters Local 55, Association of Retired Police Officers, East Bay Express, Alameda County Central Labor Council, and the Wellstone, MGO and East Bay Young Democratic Clubs. Measure J was inspired by the work of the Oakland Budget Advisory Commission and particularly its Ad-hoc Committee on Unfunded Liabilities, to whom I'm very grateful. Please vote YES on Measure J. This is a mail-only election. Please be sure your ballot reaches the Alameda County Registrar of Voters by November 15th. Thank you for your consideration,

She can ask the City Council to make it legal. That would not condone any violence that might erupt, but it would prevent the destruction of a peaceful demonstration that is at its core demanding a change in the priorities of our society -- the same demand that was passed overwhelming by the US Conference of Mayors, an organization in which the Mayor participates. I think Jean should do that at the next Council meeting, or call for a special meeting. We -- the BBBON steering committee -- could mobilize people to speak at it. The Mayor could also express her solidarity with the demonstrators by having her own tent there with signs showing what aspects of the Occupy movement she supports. From reading the emails going back and forth, as well as from numerous conversations in the last few days, it is clear to me that the majority of the core leadership of BBB wants something different to happen in Oakland than the scenes from around the country of cops in riot gear attacking peaceful demonstrators. After all, we elected a different kind of Mayor, a Mayor who is progressive in action as well as words, a Mayor who is struggling to find ways to improve the lives of the most hard-hit of our city, who is struggling to maintain and increase services in a time of enormous cuts from the state and the federal government -- in a word, a Mayor who represents the interests of the "99%." Everyone who I've talked to who has investigated directly says that there is more to this than just the type of anarchists who desire confrontation and violence. I think the Mayor should avoid giving that minority what they want. I don't know what union internationals are doing, but quite a few local unions are acting in a supportive way and that is growing. There is an important process going on here that needs time and space to develop. Sharon

I do think they see is as politically good for them and Obama and therefore worth supporting. They of course dont know the specifics of THIS action in terms of the groundrules and the leadership. Sharon Cornu is working with them. I told Alan that if the unions were to REALLY get involved and are willing to step up that would change the whole thing (leadership, accountability, non violent, etc). I dont think that will happen.

A couple others who have been in on the discussion are added (let me know if I left someone off). We divided the City areas of concern and the goal of each person there was/is to try to get a solid feel for what the reality is, what is needed in each area, and how we can be of help in meeting camp and City concerns. Jose Dorado--Security and safety issues Allene--Fire safety concerns Pamela--Kitchen, sanitation, and portapotties Don Link--rat issue (with able assistant from rat experts Sheryl and Rich), Sheryl--trash collection, disposal and problems Allan and Rich--Communications and liaison w. City Hall (preview: working on communications between Occ Oak and City Hall, union coalition involvement, etc.) Who/what did I leave out? We reconvened together after about an hour for a quick debriefing, further discussion with the security coordinator ("Rasta"), committed to write up a statement of what we found in each area (what we found out, specific contact people, what's needed in each area, and plans of action, etc.) and send them to me ASAP. Time is very short, so please send your report to me as soon as possible today. Briefly, I want to say that I followed the anarchist contingent closely during the march, was pleasantly surprised that they were orderly, controlled from what I saw, and completely non-violent (which is what I've observed at Occupy Oakland during my time there). Also, I was totally impressed by the police, how they seemed to sense where the crowd was going ahead of time, controlled car traffic in very busy intersections, did not over-react (even at the brief bank takeover), etc. [On a personal note, I was laughing at myself for being super anxious about any property destruction, when I thought back at how I was part of the movement that took over major freeways for days at a time and dug them up, burned down the Bank of America (Isla Vista/S. Barbara), took on ROTC, etc. in the effort to end the Viet Nam war.] Please email me your report backs, and I'll then email the compendium to everyone, so we don't all get a dozen

They had said they were going around the Lake but turned up Lakeshore Avenue and stood in front of Chase bank, then poured in. I stood in front of the bank window (many of you know that I'm the director of the Lakeshore Avenue business improvement district, BID) after I saw one man strike the window. Some others picked up all the deposit slips and threw them around outside. Myself and some of the marchers picked them all up. The police who had been closing streets so the marchers could march moved in, two only, and closed up the bank. No one was arrested or hurt. The crowd moved to the Wells Fargo and another woman and I argued with a couple of folks who seemed likely to break windows. That was it. They turned onto Wesley, the police closed the freeway off ramp and they headed back towards the Lake. Except for a couple worrisome minutes on Lakeshore, it was all very thrilling and the police were completely cooperative, no riot gear or provocative behavior. We learned at the encampment that more bins for food storage were needed, more hand sanitizer and fire extinguishers altho they do have a few. They are working harder to clean up the garbage and have plans to put wooden flooring under the stoves and remove the hay.

We all showed up today and observed the camp for about an hour before the march started. Allan, Don Link,

Jos, Pam, myself, Marilyn Bechtel are the ones I remember. The march was long and hot. I stuck it out until Grand Lake Farmers Market, then bought some chocolate covered almonds for Kit and headed back downtown to my car. I'm 67 tomorrow and starting to feel it. Friday night, I met Allan and Dave Firestein and Josh, two members, along with Allan of a new committee that is trying to draft a statement that will be brought before the Occupy GA to deliver to Jean about a process to discuss the issues that the City has sent via 5 memos, so far. There seems to be a lot of resentment about the tone, content, intention, etc. of the memos from the City to close it down. Even for the folks that I don't believe are die hard anarchists, the anarchist philosophy seems to be the only coherent (?) ideology/framework that is being debated. It has a lot of influence. There are also individual pacifists, liberals, "hippies", lefties, union members, etc. There are a lot of really good people, even some of the anarchists, I'm sure. In a very subjective moment, I also went up to look for Richard (Fuentes?) (Latino) that Allan understands is Jean's liason with the Occupiers. He seemed to be out of the office for the day. I got a very understandable "I'm tired of the whole mess." from the few employees, women staff that were leaving for the day. I highly suspect that this is the mood of most of "City Hall." I also suspect that there is some sort of appreciation for the 'Tax Wall Street and the Rich' sentiment coming from the occupiers, but, who knows? We also heard a rumor that Desilee might introduce some kind of a resolution before the CC that would endorse the Occupiers? I thought that she removed her tent, (John Jernigans tent?) but, I might be wrong. They definitely were not in attendance last night or today while I was there. It's a very fluid situation. I think, in terms of the occupiers, it is a mistake to pick on the few incidences that have been used as examples as unacceptable behavior or practice. Don and I agreed that if there are any more rats, it's not during the day when the activity is up. It would scare the shit out of any rats. At night, after 12 midnight, who knows? I used to work for Vector Control with the County. The conditions for rats are: Food, habitat and water. I'm wondering still, if ANYONE has seen a rat on site? I know rats are smart and resourceful, but, it's pretty scary with all the giants stomping around (from a rats point of view.) While I was observing the Kitchen area, the people, the volunteers, staff are very well behaved, wearing gloves, careful, courteous. Like Allan, I'm very impressed. I watched the head of the security team, a young African American with dreads, very articulate, use a found, open pocket knife as a teaching moment and demand that people be more careful, conscious of leaving dangerous tools lying around. He also demanded no graffiti on the permanent property. Some one came up afterwards and claimed that the security fellow did not have the authority to make the demand about graffiti. They didn't agree. The process is very interesting. Klunky. This really is an experiment in real, direct democracy, versus bourgeois democracy. This is one of the main reasons that so many of the participants are so dedicated, passionate. It's like Woodstock with better politics. People are acting like we do after a fire or earthquake when the best in us comes out. They are all getting an endorphin rush from this. If I wasn't employed, married, paying rent, I would be right down there with them. 40 years ago when I was their age, I WAS with them. There is a book waiting to be written from all the emails, twitters, facebook entries that are not in one central location. I mean nationwide, not just Oakland.

In just a few weeks the Occupy movement has managed to change the political dialogue in the mainstream media. All year long all we heard about was the deficit. Now even the Republicans are talking about jobs. That's no small feat and it has happened only because the New York occupation has been backed up by hundreds of others all over the country. The capitalist system constantly reproduces its army of undereducated and underemployed. When that army rises up in protest, it can take many forms. I'm glad that the union movement seems to be in support of this latest uprising. Those of us who are union members should work to strengthen that support. I have not spoken with her, but I'm sure that the Mayor wants to negotiate with the occupiers to find a way to avoid an ugly confrontation. But it's very hard.

It is also my experience that, even though it seems that the "anarchists" have an inordinate amount of influence, they are definitely not the only force, in an ironic way, maybe the most organized. Even the anarchists are not of one voice. The frustrations, the reality of the youth are real. It's the whole picture, all of the various stresses. No jobs, poor educational opportunities, profiling and an unwillingness to put up with this any longer. Where have I heard this before? Let's calm down and talk this out. Nonviolent assembly. Give and take. Have faith in our own ability to solve difficult conflicts. This a nationwide, worldwide movement.

Mishandling has potentially huge negative consequences. Rich J. ====================================== On 10/21/2011 7:39 AM, Allan Brill wrote: I would like to know the following: 1. A list incidents of violence that have occurred, extent of injuries.and what has been done by the City and the Occupy folks to correct the problem. 2. A description of any communications between the City and Occupiers (they are organized and have more and longer meetings than any of us would tolerate--I don't believe it is proper or accurate to paint these people all with the "anarchist" brush, any more than it was correct to label all anti-war protesters communists). 3. What options have been considered besides eviction, and whether these options have been thoroughly discussed with the protesters. Occupy Oakland is the heart of the Bay Area occupy movement. I strongly suggest that this eviction not proceed. Our new intern has studied the occupy locations around the Bay Area, and we should look to people like her to find a way out of this.

Jean informed me after our meeting last night that due to the growing nighttime problems (violence, danger to occupants, etc) the eviction notice was issued. the intent is that the day time use of the park is encouraged for the protest. Unfortunately, as we discussed last night the
60
bulk of the occupiers will not go peacefully (my opinion) and as in the past with the Oscar Grant demos want to take out their anger on Oakland downtown. I see no good way out of this and hope that Allan and others will help to keep this situation peaceful. The fact that thousands marching peacefully on Sat were NOT welcomed by the Occupy Oakland folks was a bad sign to me that unifying Oakland for political action was not in fact the intent of many of those occupying. Based on past experience where anarchists have used these issues to take out their youthful frustration on our city I fear the worse. All I ask is that cooler heads prevail.

Dear BBBON Core Folks, Those of you at last night's BBBON Steering Committee Meeting heard several of us extolling the importance of this movement, the need to reach out to the militant, organizing youth of Oakland at the center of "occupy", and the very strong, broad and deep support for Occupy. Occupy is a presence in over 1000 cities around the world, and is the most dramatic, positive and unifying movement I've seen in my 45 years of being an activist. Several of us (Jose, Don, Rich, Sheryl, etc) plan on meeting on Saturday at 10:30 AM on Saturday to find out how we and BBBON can be of support, and encourage Occupy Oakland participants to work with BBBON in the future. We have a BBBON tent and you are welcome to use it (let me know which night(s) you want to stay). You are encouraged to join us, and participate in the march as well (see below and more detail at occupyoakland.org. Now, with the City threatening eviction the stakes have sadly been raised substantially. As I mentioned last night, everal of us have repeatedly stressed to the Occupy Community that Mayor Quan is one of us, and would not allow the police to invade and crash heads as has been done in a few other cities. This is a peaceful protest, but also a resolute and organized one that will not cave easily or without resistance. Perhaps we can exert our influence to assure that there is no confrontation, as a major battle would be a disaster for countless reasons. Your ideas are very much welcomed, and hope to see you on Saturday morning! Allan

Hi, I spent most of the weekend at Occupy Oakland, and wanted to give BBB folks and others a quick flavor of what is going on for those of you that weren't on the march from Laney on Saturday. There are over 270 tents now set up in this amazingly functional, committed encampment (you can see more details on occupyoakland.org, with other news from occupysf.com, occupywallst.org, etc.). The incredibly diverse, youth-driven group is much more organized than you would imagine. Fully functional kitchen, clothing donation center, internal security team, education/workshop group, and a dozen sub-committees. One of my favorite moments was when this very cleancut guy came up to me with trays of food to donate--he asked that I not use his name, but let people know that though he sells stocks all day long, he understands the greed and corruption from the inside and totally supports the Occupy Movement. Pics and reports can only give a small piece of this inspiring, energetic movement. If you want to meet hundreds of committed activists (many of whom are unemployed youth, homeless folks, and others), or lend support or donate in some way, I encourage you to stop by, as I think you'll be as moved as I am. I set up tent number 171, but cannot be there on a regular basis. I want to encourage those of you who can to visit, support and feel free to use the tent I've set up if you want to spend a night or two there this week. I can give you the details of where it is if you contact me (h. 510.482.1410, c. 510.910.0998). I will miss Thursday's BBBON SC Meeting (have Glenview Neighborhood Assoc meeting/elections at same time), but would suggest that this item (how to support and be involved in Occupy) be put on the Agenda for discussion. We are also organizing teacher's unions from around the Bay Area to join in their local Occupy effort.
Thanks for all you do. Allan

From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Dear Mayor Quan, We are writing to you today because we are sure you have recently read about our company and the uncertain economic times we are facing. You may also have seen advertisements we are running to communicate key facts about our work with customers, businesses and communities. As a key stakeholder here in the Bay Area, we want to provide you with additional information on the state of the financial services industry and Bank of America in particular. U.S. banks have come through the financial crisis and are poised to support the economic recovery. Actions that banks took and, in some cases, were forced to take resulted in stronger capital and liquidity, and less risky operations. For our part, Bank of America has reorganized, downsized, streamlined, simplified, reduced risk, and focused on customer needs. Simply put, we are now a stronger bank. While we have made progress in many areas, there is more work for us to do. We are addressing the foreclosure crisis and related issues through a national community revitalization strategy; we are actively lending and investing across the nation including extending capital to consumers, small businesses, large companies and others; and we are supporting workforce development efforts, hunger causes and neighborhood preservation through philanthropic giving. Here in the Bay Area and in the State of California, we are continuing to do our part to support the local economy. We have lent more than $1.2 billion to small businesses in California during the first half of 2011, part of $7.8 billion lent nationwide so that small businesses can grow, build, and hire. Since 2008, we have modified more than 193,000 mortgages in California. Our employees here in the Bay Area have recorded more than 15,000 volunteer hours so far this year to nonprofit organizations in the communities where they live and work, they pledged more than $900,000 to the local United Ways during the 2010 campaign, and made another $1.35 million in matching gifts in 2010 to nonprofits throughout the Bay Area. That does not even include the philanthropic contributions that we make to the region as a company; for the past several years, we have been among the top corporate philanthropists in the Bay Area. We are committed, here in the Bay Area and beyond, to continue to do our part to contribute to the economic recovery. More information on what Bank of America is doing to help support the economic can be found in our 2010 Corporate Social Responsibility report. We welcome the opportunity to get together to discuss any of these matters further.

Dear City Administrator and City AttorneyI have received the memo sent this morning by the City Attorney in regards to the Tent Cities in Frank Ogawa Plaza and Snow Park. Id like to state for the record that as of today, 10/24/11, neither the City Attorney nor the City Administrators office have briefed the Council, or at least not me, on the tent city situation. I spoke with the City Administrator last Thursday to express concerns about the tent city in the plaza and was assured by her that they were working on a plan to deal with the situation, that an eviction order was to be issued shortly, and that they were prepared to take action, yet four days later, nothing has happened. I shared with our City Administrator last Thursday that I have received multiple complaints from residents and downtown businesses around Frank Ogawa Plaza, including complaints of stolen items, vandalism and a negative impact to sales resulting from illegal activities taking place in the Occupy Oakland campground. Despite the distribution informational materials regarding what is and what is not permissible in the Plaza, tensions continue to build in the Occupy Oakland campground and we as a City will be held liable for any damages and/or injuries. We all know that we will be held responsible for failing to take action and each day that passes, the Citys failure to act sends them the message that we will accept and tolerate their actions. Other municipalities across the Country including our neighbors in San Francisco and San Jose have not allowed camp sites to grow as we have here in Oakland, theyve both taken action to remove tents to avoid future larger conflicts between the camp tenants and the City, particularly police. What are the next steps to address the safety and health concerns and when will the campground be removed?

Based on Oaklands value propositions (see attachements), the campaign is designed to rebrand Oakland as the new start-up center of the Bay Area, To kick off the campaign this fall, we have organized three business recruitment events over three consecutive weeks that drive home our messages in the blogs, Venture Capital board rooms, and among entrepreneurs. These events are: 1. Startup Oakland
This completely sold out event at the Fox Theater brought together investors and entrepreneurs to talk about opportunities in Oakland. It created a ton of buzz on Twitter and online. The Mayors office co-sponsored the event with Double Bottom Line (DBL) Ventures, and the Mayor welcomed the panelists and all the guests. Noted panelists included five leading Oakland-based CEOs:
Joe Kennedy, (CEO & President, Pandora), John Woolard (President & CEO, BrightSource Energy), Kristin Groos Richmond (CEO, Revolution Foods), Jim Marggraff (Chairman & CEO, Livescribe) Julie Corbett (CEO, Ecologic)

City Attorney Barbara J. Parker
STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 24, 2011 Contact: (510) 238-3148 http://www.oaklandcityattorney.org/
OAKLAND, CA After 40 minutes of deliberation, a jury in Alameda County Superior Court ruled today that gender discrimination had nothing to do with the termination of former Oakland City Administrator Deborah Edgerly. Edgerly was terminated by former Mayor Ron Dellums in July 2008. In a lawsuit filed in July 2009 (Case # RG09461220), Edgerly claimed, among other things, that she was fired as a result of gender discrimination. The judge dismissed Edgerlys other claims before trial. Press Statement from Oakland City Attorney Barbara J. Parker: I am committed to vigorously defending our City and our residents to ensure that taxpayer dollars are protected. The jury clearly found that the plaintiff's gender discrimination claim had no merit. I am gratified by this excellent verdict and I hope we can now put this behind us and forge ahead on the other priorities and challenges facing Oakland. ***

Breaking News from East Bay News Service Riot-gear clad Oakland police officers have begun deploying in the vicinity of Frank H. Ogawa Plaza adjacent to City Hall. Residents of the two-week old encampment in the Plaza were tipped off by local merchants that OPD planned to move in "between 3 and 5 a.m." to clear out occupants, who have been given several notices to vacate and abate in the past week. OPD's helicopter, Argus One, is likely to be pulled out of mothballs for the staging. Media staging is on the East side of Broadway at 13th Street (near DeLauer's). Depending on how the operation proceeds, a determination will be made if City Hall and adjacent administration buildings will be opened. City Council committee meetings are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Sanjiv Handa EBNS 102511 0438 PDT

Statement of Mayor Quan: Many Oaklanders support the goals of the national Occupy Wall Street movement. We maintained daily communication with the evolving occupants. However, over the last week it was apparent that neither the demonstrators nor the City could maintain safe or sanitary conditions, or control the ongoing vandalism. Frank Ogawa Plaza will continue to be open as a free speech area from 6 am to 10 pm. We want to thank the police, fire, public works and other employees who worked over the last week to peacefully close the encampment. We also thank the majority of the protestors who peacefully complied with city officials. I commend Chief Jordan for a peaceful resolution to a situation that deteriorated and concerned our community. His leadership was critical in the successful execution of this operation. City Administrator Deanna Santana developed the plan and secured mutual aid from other departments and the State of California. She will direct departmental teams, including police, public works, communications, to restore conditions at the Plaza so that it is available for public use. The City welcomes all Oaklanders to continue to use the Plaza during daylight hours for peaceful protest and celebrating Oakland.

News from: Emergency Operations Center FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 25, 2011
OPD Enforces Notice of Violations and Demand to Cease Violations in Frank Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA This morning at 4:30 am, the Oakland Police Department began enforcement of the Notice of Violations and Demand to Cease Violations issued on Friday, October 21, to persons staying overnight in Frank Ogawa Plaza related to the Occupy Oakland demonstration.
Media Contact: Karen Boyd City Administrators Office 510-449-4401 kboyd@oaklandnet.com
By approximately 5:30 am, Frank Ogawa Plaza had been contained, and the City is in the process of mobilizing the clean-up phase. Downtown employers and City employees are still advised to delay the start of the work day until further notice. The 12th Street BART station is closed. AC Transit is re-routing buses downtown. The City of Oakland appreciates the outstanding mutual aid assistance provided by local law enforcement agencies. Additional updates will be forthcoming as information becomes available. The City will communicate via news releases until further notice. We anticipate holding a live media briefing in several hours. Background From the outset of the demonstration which began two weeks ago on Monday, October 10, the City of Oakland has focused on three clear goals: 1) facilitating the protesters right to free speech and peaceful expression, 2) maintaining public health and safety, and 3) crowd control. Two days into the demonstration, the City began providing written notices of the ground rules required in order to protect the health and safety of the group and to respect the Plaza, which is a public park.
16
After the first weekend, the City began getting reports of problems and communicated with the demonstrators about additional health and safety concerns (e.g., fire hazards, sanitation, food storage, unsafe structures built into the Plaza, noise). By the second week, conditions began to deteriorate. On at least two occasions, American Medical Response (AMR ambulance company) was denied access to provide medical care. The Oakland Fire Department and Police Department were denied access to the Plaza to respond to calls for service. The City also received reports that an individual was severely beaten. Sanitation conditions worsened with frequent instances of public urination and defecation, as well as improper food storage. The existing rodent problem on the Plaza was exacerbated and vector control was unable to implement measures to control the rat problem due to the presence of overnight campers. The Plaza was physically damaged on a daily basis by graffiti, litter, and vandalism. Fire hazards continued unabated, including cooking with open flame, improper storage and disposal of propane tanks, storage of grease, inadequate fire extinguishers, density of tents and flammable materials, and smoking in tents. Specifically: On Monday, October 17, the City received its first report of a sexual assault, and a television reporter was bitten by a protesters dog. On Tuesday, October 18, the dynamics of the group had changed. We began to receive numerous complaints of threatening, intimidating behavior; individuals threatened to riot if OPD facilitated their march through downtown that evening; public health and safety requirements were being ignored. The City began collecting intelligence to determine the amount of mutual aid that would be required to address the situation. On Wednesday, October 19, the City sent its fourth notice communicating additional health and safety concerns, including sexual offenses, fighting, public drinking, and intoxication. The County Health Department conducted its first inspection and the Oakland Fire Department conducted a second inspection. The City began putting appropriate plans in place to put an end to overnight camping and cooking in the Plaza, and OPD formally requested mutual aid. On Thursday, October 20, the City put the demonstrators on notice that as a result of multiple conditionsincluding fire hazards, increased levels of violence, denial of access to public safety personnel to assist injured people, mounting sanitation hazards, health hazards, physical damage to the Plaza and lawn, graffiti, and disruption of the Plaza for broader public usethey were required to vacate the Plaza between 10 pm and 6 am. The Fire Department red tagged Frank Ogawa Plaza and issued an order to abate and cease operations. On Friday, October 21, the City issued a formal notice of violations and demand to cease overnight camping and cooking operations. In addition, on Friday night and throughout the weekend, the Citys homeless services team

coordinated with Operation Dignity and Alameda County to arrange for shelter, meals, and service referrals for the homeless population camping on the Plaza. On Monday, October 24, the Fire Department attempted to assist with the removal of propane tanks and cooking oil to address some of the fire hazards. The last notice was issued to cease overnight lodging. The City of Oaklands goal has been to facilitate individuals to remove their tents, cooking facilities, and belongings, and to leave cooperatively. The City has partnered with community allies to help facilitate communication with the protesters regarding their departure, and we provided services to assist those with housing and mental health needs. Securing an adequate level of mutual aid has also been a primary goal, especially considering the regional impact that the Occupy demonstrations have had on local law enforcement agencies. The City remains committed to respecting free speech as well as maintaining the Citys responsibility to protect public health and safety. Peaceful daytime assembly will continue to be allowed between 6 am and 10 pm daily, but no camping or overnight stays will be permitted. There may be some disruption to the Plaza during the time that it takes to clean it up and ensure that the Plaza poses no health and safety hazard from those choosing to protest. The City of Oaklands goal is to clean it up to facilitate free assembly in the Plaza as soon as practical. # # #

I visited that protest multiple times, dropped off water and food. I don't have the freedom to be there myself, but I am infinitely supportive of this movement, which is the most surprising and hopeful thing I've seen in the US since we elected a black president. Oakland should be ashamed of itself this morning. I'm ashamed of Oakland. I'd like to hear how this decision was made and by whom, so I can vote accordingly. Jean, though I've been a supporter in the past, it's done. Tear gas at 4:30 a.m.?! Really? This is the way you treat human beings? I am just disgusted. The people who busted up windows in protest got better treatment. Consider this move what gets me off the retweet machine and onto the streets. I hope that was your intention.

Dear Friends, Tea Party extremists and their Republican allies have done it again. Iowa Republicans have mounted a sneak attacktrying to send Iowa down the same anti-worker road as Wisconsin and Ohio. ADA's Working Families Win campaign, in partnership with Progressive Kick is fighting back. Now the future of Iowas working families is hangs in the balance and YOU can tip the scales! Iowa Democrats were clinging to a 26-24 majority in the State Senate, but the Governor appointed a Democratic senator to a statewide board, just so he could call a special election that could allow Republicans to take control of the State Senate and the entire Iowa state government. If Republicans win, therell be a 25-25 tie which would be broken by the Republican Lieutenant Governor. This snap special election will be held in less than three weeks on November 8. The super-thin Democratic majority in the State Senate is our only finger in the dike against the same kinds of anti-working families policies passed in Wisconsin and Ohio. The Republican governor and State House want to kill HAWK-I, Iowas health insurance program for low- and middle-income children. They want to kill universal pre-school. They want to kill collective bargaining rights for hard working teachers, nurses, firefighters and other community heroes! They want to discriminate by taking away the rights of some Iowans to get married. Working Families Win volunteers and staff are running an aggressive absentee ballot campaign to ensure the voices of Iowas' hard working families are heard. We need your help! $50 from you gets a matching $50 from our major contributors Progressive Kick.

I don't understand how you could allow the beautiful, peaceful, fully democratic free speech and peaceable encampment be so viciously destroyed! They were feeding the homeless as well as themselves, for heaven sakes! That is more than the City has been able to accomplish!

Breaking News from East Bay News Service Police Clear Out Campers Near City Hall
Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011, 8:50 a.m.
The Oakland Police Department, with mutual aid from at least nine other agencies, deployed more than 450 officers before dawn Tuesday to evacuate campers who have been entrenched in Frank H. Ogawa Plaza for the past two weeks. Having been alerted by sympathetic downtown merchants that police action was imminent in the early morning hours, the Occupy Oakland organizers commandeered Dumpsters from City Hall and dozens of garbage cans from throughout the Plaza to use as a protective barrier. Wooden pallets and metal shelving were also pulled from inside the encampment and used as shields. Police gave an order to vacate, and an unknown number of overnight campers immediately fled, as did a large contingent of homeless people who normally have had the whole Plaza to themselves every night since Jerry Brown ended his tenure as mayor of Oakland. Brown often came back to City Hall late at night to order the guards to call Oakland Police and clear out overnight campers. Other people inside the encampment started throwing bottles and other objects at police officers. Tear gas was deployed to subdue them. Preliminary estimates are that about 70 people were arrested, some of whom were not part of the Plaza demonstrators, and processed through a field booking station in front of the Byron Rumford Post Office on the ground floor of the Ronald V. Dellums federal buildings on Clay Street. Detainees were placed into two Alameda County Sheriff's transport buses, one headed for Santa Rita Jail in leasanton, and the second to the Glenn Dyer Detention Facility on Seventh Street in Oakland. Participating agencies included police departments from Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Vacaville; BART Police; University of California Police; and Solano County Sheriff's Department. In addition to more than 150 marked and unmarked
38
police vehicles, a dozen or so rented passenger vans brought in officers from three different staging areas. EBNS 102511 0850 PDT

Dear Mayor Quan, If radio & TV reports are accurate, I am extremely dismayed that my city is implementing the most brutal attack reported today on the local "OCCUPY" encampment. Over 200 US cities presently have "occupy" protests -- he unitary objective being the dangerous economic imbalance between Wall Street, big banks, mega corporations, the ultra-rich and the remaining 99% systematically being destroyed by the growing imbalance. A serious consequence of the economic imbalance is the that cities throughout the country are strangling on the brink of bankruptcy. Rather than brutally attack the Occupy protest with tear gas and rubber bullets, cities throughout the country -- including Oakland -- should be in strong alliance WITH the Occupy Movement to bring collective pressure on the DC lawmakers for swift reversal of the economically devastating path on which the country is now fatally embarked.

Dear Mayor Quan: Please stop the violent raid of the Occupy Oakland encampment. There is no need to use police force on a peaceful group of demonstrators. There is no need for rubber bullets, tear gas, or flash grenades. What we do need, however, is peaceful collaboration, open communication, and a dialogue between the people of Oakland and its elected officials and managers.... Please take a lesson from New York, and allow for open dialogue and communication between you and the people who elected you into office. Stop the violent raids. Allow the protesters to stay. If you have problems with the way in which they are staying in their encampment (cleanliness, etc) then work with the people-- YOUR people-- and collaborate on a result that will satisfy both parties. Police force and police brutality to corral an already peaceful movement is completely unnecessary and has put a blemish on your tenure as Mayor. Sincerely, Anita Lee California Resident

I want to second what Robin is saying. I know there are many of us who cannot camp out, but feel just as strongly as the folks who do. I feel that there may be more to the clamp down than meets the eye. The fact that there were tanks, helicopters, cops from many jurisdictions outside of Oakland, that the media was kept away from the actual scene and I couple it with the report on KCBS last night about the move to remove Jean Quan from office. That report identified the people they interviewed, but did not say what connection, if any, they have with Oakland. I did not recognize any of them. I have heard that the ousting of the Mayor is coming from outside Oakland and perhaps out of state. I don't know if that's true, but it makes me wonder. I feel that there was no need for such a show of force and I wonder why, who and what is going on. The camp out was peaceful and well run. As for rats, as Davy D said, anyone who walks the lake, comes out of the Fox theatre at night has seen rats. I remember rats here all my life. We are a maritime community. We have rats. No need for such a huge presence of law enforcement for that. I think if more of us understood what is happening to us here in the U.S. we'd all be camping out at Frank Ogawa. In fact, if we do nothing, we are all likely to be doing just that in the future, but not to make a statement.

GEORGE PHILLIPS.. YOU'RE ADDING TO MY EMOTIONAL DISTRESS... WHAT IS THE HOLD UP WITH THE SIMPLEST FIXES IN OPD??? It's now the 19th and I STILL HAVE YET TO EVEN HAVE THE SIMPLE ISSUES RESOLVED... HOWARD JORDAN, Why is it taking soo long to follow up and follow through with even the simplest issue you were to resolve back on 9/27??? As you already are aware, I have several valid complaints of negligence, dishonesty, reckless behaviors against Sgt. George Phillips and although he has made "significant progress" on the case (which I just found on on 9/27), he has cause me and my family an indescribable amount of irreparable emotional damage.. Not only did he compromise my safety and My/ Daddy's business by violating a court order (because he didn't do his research) by bringing the person who
59
is responsible for Daddy's Murder & who's also made death threats and had her affiliates come after me in a car chase to my place of business without notifying me, not following proper procedure.... But because of Sgt. Phillips reckless & negligent behaviors in not following proper procedure and blatantly lied, I now have to see and hear about others seeing The Truck (THAT I HELD THE PHYSICAL PINK SLIP FOR, IN ADDITION AM THE EXECUTOR OF THE TRUST/ RESPONSIBLE FOR) anywhere from Richmond to Oakland, damn near every day and we lost that strong memory of our father, BECAUSE OF GEORGE PHILLIPS.. Because of Sgt. George Phillips and his lack of returning simple phone calls when I called him in distress the night of the car chase, and even more recently when I received death threats and pleaded to him and your office for help and to trace calls, he treated me with low priority and with the email response he sent, Even SAN LEANDRO PD CONFIRMED HE WAS GIVING ME THE "OUTRIGHT BRUSH OFF TREATMENT" and because of all of the stress when he couldn't even do the simplest things, I lost my child in miscarriage a short time after (BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS.. NOT DADDY'S DEATH.. BUT GEORGE).... Even my mother called me and asked me to relay and she also wrote a letter requesting that there be another form of contact because of the critical amount of emotional distress it causes my brother to even talk to him or hear his voice, because he's just as effected and that truck was supposed to go to HIM (for ME to administer to him once it was cleared)..... I CAN'T EVEN STAND HEARING HIS VOICE, LITERALLY.... I am so full of rage/ upset with Sgt. George Phillips it's not even funny, for how he mishandled things, lied & was reckless and I don't ever want to talk to him again. But as issues come up, I have no choice but to call him and leave messages and/or email BECAUSE YOU DID NOT RESOLVE THE SIMPLEST REQUEST THAT YOU AGREED TO..... DO YOU REALIZE THE EFFECT YOU ARE CAUSING?????????? I MEAN REALLY????? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU AND PHILLIPS AND ALL OF THIS UNNECESSARY CRAP THAT I NOW HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE A THERAPIST BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF STRESS CAUSED THAT COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDABLE IF YOU HAD JUST DONE YOUR JOBS, FOLLOWED PROPER PROCEDURE, TELL THE TRUTH AND DO THE RIGHT THING... IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU, PHILLIPS AND YOUR DEPARTMENT THAT I HAVE TO SEE A THERAPIST TO GET MY STRESS UNDER CONTROL BECAUSE I LOST ALL OF DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING OF MY DAD FROM THAT PROPERTY BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT AND NOT JUST TAKING TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND PROTECT AND SERVE!!!!!!!!!! BUT FOR ALL I STATED IN THE MEETING AND IT WAS APPARENT THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE YOU AGREED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, YOU HAVEN'T DONE A THING... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PURPOSELY DRAG YOUR FEET TO MAKE THINGS HARD ON ME, BUT LET ME TELL YOU, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF OTHERS, IF THAT IS YOUR INTENT... Since My Father's Murder, as My Brother is physically and mentally disabled, EVERYTHING HAS FALLEN ON MY SHOULDERS N WITH THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS MURDER BECAUSE SHE WANTED HIM TO PURPOSELY DECOMPOSE AS EVEN THE FUNERAL HOME CONFIRMED 1ST HAND.... IT'S ONLY ME WHO IS KEEPING THE BUSINESS RUNNING AND PAYING FOR ALL THESE LEGAL PROJECTS NOT JUST FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT BUT OTHER AS I HAVE NO CHOICE IN BEING PLACED AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE TRUST.. EVEN NOW, AS DADDY WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TO PRIMARILY KEEP MY BROTHER IN CHECK, MAINTAIN ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS SINCE MY BROTHER IS MENTALLY INCOMPETENT, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK THAT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE CONSERVATORSHIP OVER MY BROTHER BECAUSE HIS LIFE HAS FALLEN APART AND NO ONE ELSE IS CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF HIM... SO ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE HELP AND IF YOU'RE TRULY SORRY FOR MY LOSS, YOU'D DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB & TUCK YOUR EGO IN YOUR BACK POCKET.. As My Father left both My Brother & I life insurance, Sgt. Phillips already cleared us back in May... Since then, unbeknownst to me, there is an additional policy in which the Insurance Agency located both me and my brother.. As they sent a form for Phillips to fill out, he returned the form, showing the case is still open (which is to be expected), but showed no indication that I, nor my brother are cleared. He already knows me and my brother have nothing to do with what ever happened to Daddy... Howard, since you STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THAT SIMPLE REQUEST, as my brother contacted me last week, I left a message for George to please contact the insurance people and correct. If there is something that I'm not aware of, please let me know... Didn't hear a word from (which I didn't want to hear anyways)...
60
I sent a follow up email yesterday and no word.. I was contacted by the Life Insurance Agency this morning, as well as my brother and left another message for Phillips and I REALLY CAN'T TAKE EVEN HEARING ON VOICEMAIL (I will never forgive him for some of the shyt he pulled).. But there is no response.. The request doesn't take but less than 3 minutes to complete and not that hard.. Now my guess for you, Howard, is because I struck a chord with your ego at the meeting, your purposely dragging your feet (which you intently made clear with an uncooperative response towards the end of the meeting) to try to make me suffer..... For George, since I started the Hell Storm and Complaint Process with Him since June (after I found out about the Truck) and bringing wrath, he's probably doing the same.... It may have been a simple fix, but judging how you and him carried yourselves, so far, I say his behavior is intent.... The sooner situations get resolved, the sooner I'll get off of your cases... PLEASE FIND AN ALTERNATE CONTACT BECAUSE I REALLY CANNOT STAND HEARING SGT. PHILLIPS VOICE, NOR CAN MY BROTHER & I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM, DIRECTLY..... ALSO, CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE HIM RESPOND TO THE EMAIL I SENT YESTERDAY IN RESOLVING WITH THAT QUICK FIX FOR THE LIFE INSURANCE, (WHICH HE ALREADY DID FOR THE PREVIOUS COMPANY) OR SOMEONE FROM YOUR OFFICE (BESIDES HIM) LET ME KNOW STATUS??? THANKS IN ADVANCE AND ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU TURN TABLES AND LIVE LIFE THROUGH MY EYES AND THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY I'M SO UPSET, DISGUSTED & MAD AS A HORNET WITH HOW EVERYTHING IS BEING TREATED, HOWARD..

This is a follow up from The email I sent to you, dated 9/30/2011, after our meeting on 9/27/2011. It is now 10/17/2011 and I still have yet to hear a response directly from you... Although you are Interim Chief (until OPD finds a permanent placement), I understand you have assistants.. However, as I met DIRECTLY WITH YOU in addressing issues on 9/27/2011 and you made several inaccurate statements, was to resolve the request to find an alternate method contact/ correspondence due to the irreparable & extreme emotional distress caused with any type of communication by Sgt. George Phillips, correcting the blatant lie you told in trying to cover for him, in addition to you following up with the outstanding issue of the property access rights/ coordination, I expect to hear DIRECTLY from you and have not heard ONE RESPONSE, FOLLOW UP, CORRECTION OR OTHER... With as much time that's gone by and you knew you messed in the meeting by not being prepared and lied and tried to brush things off, it just seems that you really don't care about your job, nor your department, or you're just too comfortable in your position thinking you can get away with anything... That's a sad frame of mind either way, so I'm going to ask once again as I initially did on 9/27 & 9/30, to correct your inaccurate statements, lie you told and follow through with what you said you were going to do.. Again, as I stopped your sentence in the beginning of the meeting because I already knew it was superficial and I stated that if you truly are sorry for my loss, you'd just do your job, making things easier for me.... So again, I ask
61
Interim Chief, HOW TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS CONSISTENTLY HAVE SPOKEN DIFFERENT THAN YOUR MOUTHPIECE... Although I had to correct you on several inaccurate statements you made since it was clear as day that you did NOT read through any of the documents, DID NOT contact the City Attorney and did NOT do your homework/ research, it was very apparent that you entered uncharted territory and wasn't ready for it... Among the list of things, discussed, ONE THING YOU DID AGREE TO DO AS AN EASY FIX was to find an alternate contact, rather than continue to correspond with Sgt. Phillilps... Because of the amount of unnecessary stress Sgt. Phillips has caused our family, including me losing a baby with the stress caused with the multiple acts of malicious negligence and reckless behaviors, violating court orders that compromised my safety and other, it really has taken a mental toll on me and my brother... As I disclosed before that my brother has even called my mother and me crying, breaking down after every time he talks to Phillips... You "acted" like you understood and appeared to be fully cooperative in agreement.. As you have other officers contacting me to schedule meetings (even for other officers), all you had to do is designate a 3rd party to contact as a bridge way for Me/My Brother & Phillips... However, never received a follow up from this simple fix... Since the meeting on 9/27, Sgt. George Phillips directly contacted My Brother, asking him for MY ADDRESS IN WHICH HE ALREADY HAS... He knows how to contact me.. He called my brother because he was going to send some resource information for a Grievance Counselor... A GRIEVANCE COUNSELOR 7 MONTHS AFTER MY DAD HAS BEEN DEAD AND FOR ALL THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND HE'S JUST NOW DISCLOSING THIS INFORMATION??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? I dont' know if he's purposely trying to contact my brother to purposely agitate him, but it is very apparent that you did not even address the issue with Phillips because he still called my brother, days after the meeting on 9/27..... After my brother called both me and my mother, crying and already borderline nervous break down, SINCE YOU COULDN'T EVEN COMPLETE THE SIMPLEST OF TASKS, I HAD TO DIRECTLY CONTACT PHILLIPS AND LEAVE A MESSAGE LETTING HIM KNOW TO PLEASE STOP CONTACTING MYSELF AND MY BROTHER AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DESIGNATED AN ALTERNATE CONTACT... IT'S NOW 10/18 AND STILL NO WORD, JORDAN... So again I ask, How TRULY SORRY ARE YOU FOR OUR LOSS? As I've spoken to a few associates, clients and other who work in your department, I agree with them 1,000% in saying that you are "full of yourself", "egotistical" and "a slug"... As I stated in the initial email below on 9/30, everything was all smiles and charm until I started correcting you and calling you out on your inaccurate statements as I saw you weren't prepared.. From there, I don't care how you try to mask it, but you became more defensive, impatient, turned uncooperative as it seemed I struck a chord with your ego...... From wanting to help with simple fixes quickly changed as you saw the situation can no longer be brushed off and was all avoidable... Where you stated that you would contact the City Attorney, and I asked you for a time line and you refused to give one, why is that Sgt. Bolten took a few moments to check in on the matter and doing what you should have done? It was very apparent in the meeting that as I called you out on your lie and inaccurate/ inconsistent statements, that you were trying to find a way to make me suffer.. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Interim Chief Jordan.. With the behaviors you displayed, even in that short meeting and following after, tells me that you will never be a Permanent Chief and Always a Temporary because you have the wrong frame of mind in leadership and what your badge stands for.... As for a "Slug", That also fits you extremely well as it's all consistent with the behaviors from the meeting and looking at almost 3 weeks later and you still didn't do due diligence on the things you did agree to carry out.. I'm not even going to define this term as you already defined it for me on Page 15 of Your Deposition from 1/21/11 with your case against Derwin Longmire, but your actions cleary define who you are and this label suits you in how you've handled this entire project.... I am not purposely trying to go out of my way to attack you or your character.. But when you show any type of inconsiderate, unjust behavior and mistreatment towards me (especially when it's not justified in truth), I have even less consideration for you... Just do what was asked of you and follow through with what you were supposed to do (even from jump)... If folks just did the right thing and do what they were/ are supposed to, you wouldn't have to deal with this... As I run businesses and even a rule of thumb in dealing with life??? If you don't want people to complain, especially about the same thing, then don't give them a reason to... Either resolve it and keep it moving or try to get it right the first time.... Interim Chief Jordan, in pushing forward, because of your intent negligent and reckless behaviors, I will be pushing forward to file a complaint against you, adding in with the bunch of bad apples... Thanks for making my claim against the city easier as all you had to do was do what was asked of you (even before the meeting) and carry out simple tasks, and you couldn't even do that and let your ego get in the way...

I will make this as brief as possible and straight to the point. First and Foremost, Sergeant Benton, I want to say that I truly appreciate you being present and for your insight and the way you carried yourself, overall.... With the issues surrounding the trust (gaining access to property,etc)... You stepped up and expressed that with situations like these, it's not a common thing (explanation why the situation has been mistreated), but you came across in being open to listening and looking for a solution (not writing it off since it's uncharted territory).... As you spoke, you took responsibility/ accountability, not just for yourself in understanding and experience as you worked Patrol (putting yourself in a position to see why things were handled the way they were), but Officers in your department Overall... If you weren't familiar with something, you were upfront in saying so, but presented an openness in being willing to learn and explore to resolve.... You took responsibility/accountability with an open mind to resolve and that is a Strong Trait of a Leader... Even with addressing the issue as to why Chief Batts HAS NEVER responded at any point, you explained that, taking responsibility and I appreciate that... Even for after the meeting was done, you took the initiative to walk us to the Elevator and Explain some things but you made an attempt to bring closure with a "POSITIVE" resolve. Sgt. Benton, for your participation in the meeting and after, YOU ARE APPRECIATED AND SHOW GREAT TRAITS OF LEADERSHIP.... THANK YOU... Assistant Chief Howard Jordan, let me first say that it was a pleasure (at first) meeting you.... As a compliment, I will say that you just as much extremely attractive on the news as you are in person.. You have a very strong and confident presence with an initial pleasant charm... What I am about say, as I speak in truth is I am extremely disappointed and offended by the meeting in how you conducted yourself, trying to figure out how did you get so hi in ranking... How can someone attractive, sharp, bright & charming on the exterior be so careless, dishonest, egotistical, insecure & "Unsmart" on the interior.... Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? Just saying and not even trying to be mean but you definitely are That Example... As you treated this meeting and my file overall (complaints, concerns) with such inconsideration and carelessness, I have even less regard/
63
consideration for you at this point... As I have a lot of friends, associates, clients and other in your department, SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU ABOUT ME... I'M NOT OF THAT GENERAL POPULATION & VERY MUCH A RARE SPECIES AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.... If you knew better, you would have done better.... Since you didn't, maybe this will give you incentive to correct the mistakes you made in the meeting.. Assistant Chief Jordan, from the beginning of the meeting, I picked up on your type in knowing you were gonna be full of shit and shady the moment you said "I'm sorry for your loss......... " (I picked it up in your voice)... That's why I stopped you because I already knew your condolences were superficial... As I stated if you truly are sorry, then do your job and make things easier for me.... The FIRST QUESTION I asked you is if you did your research (homework).. You replied , "Somewhat"... That tells me right there how much care and attention you put into My File of Situations/ Concerns/ Requests surrounding My Safety and My Father's Homicide and shows me how truly sorry you are for My Loss (which is none whatsoever).. As there were several issues to discuss, I will say Thank You for resolving the "simple issues"... Although I wanted to have the case re assigned from Sgt. George Phillips because of his several acts of Negligence, Poor Customer Service & Dishonesty, I do understand and can respect the reason why you will not do so... Since NO ONE EVER CALLS ME OR CONTACTS ME OR RESPONDS with Status, I did not know of significant progress (and confirmation of information)... With what you disclosed, I can respect and agree that a Private Investigator is not needed for this case... I have no arguments with that... Thank You for honoring my request of finding an alternate method of communication since Phillips has caused so much emotional distress (with his foul ups) to me and my family.. I look forward to the update very soon.... Now on the main tip, You made SEVERAL MISTAKES & YOU LIED, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN AND YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF... You've had full knowledge of all of my complaints, emails, all documentation as there was a meeting ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED on 8/4/2011... You had from Late July until then to "do your homework" (research).. The meeting was cancelled and you went home before the meeting slot was even over and it was RESCHEDULED FOR 8/17/2011... You had from 8/4/11 until 8/17/11 to "do your
homework" (research).... As Chief's Assistant, Yolanda Morris (who is also a liar) cancelled the meeting the day of 8/17/11, since you had an urgent meeting elsewhere, I didn't hear a word and things got escalated to where I FINALLY met with you this past Tuesday (9/27/11)... In all of this time, You had from Late July until Tuesday (9/27, exactly 2 months after initial meeting was scheduled) to "do your homework" (research).. You had all this time to research the emails and all attachments (That Chief Batts, Sgt Phillips & You had all this time), take a few moments to call the City Attorney to run scenarios by her, asking questions and getting confirmation and clarification of what can be done, proper policy procedure and other... But YOU DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING & LOOK EVEN WORSE THAN CAPTAIN STEVE TULL... How do I know? You told on yourself as it showed throughout the entire meeting.... Per our discussion on Tuesday, you made several inaccurate statements and I want you to confirm or correct what you said... For the issue of gaining access on the property to retrieve the rest of My Father's Belongings that are ALL LISTED IN THE TRUST, I provided and re attaching the following: -The Revocable Trust My Father (deceased) created from 2007, which includes the Grant Deed that Shows His SOLE Ownership of the Property, Information in the Trust confirming the Property was to go to ONLY Me and My Brother, Yancy P. Johnson -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Trust -Documentation confirming my role as Administrator/ Executor of The Property with Rights YOU'VE HAD ALL OF THIS INFORMATION SINCE LATE JULY AND POSSIBLY BEFORE, AC JORDAN AS IT WAS ATTACHED IN THE EMAILS.... I have made several attempts to access the property with Civil Standby's and as the person who is Responsible for My Father's Murder (My Estranged Stepmother) has squatted on the property and lied
64
alleging it was her house and property (after I provided the same documentation to the responding officers), your officers refused me access to my own property and brushed it off as a "civil issue", stating that a court order is required (which is inaccurate as your city attorney and my attorney confirmed)... There is no reason, as I provided all necessary documentation to the responding officers and your department that I should not have been able to get onto that property, retrieve personal properties and carry out my duties of the Trust as the Trustee/ Administrator/ Executor as even MY ATTORNEY WAS PRESENT ON ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS AND ALSO IN DISBELIEF BECAUSE OF IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE SITUATION.. As you also confirmed that what I am requesting is a "civil matter", you DID NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND CHECK WITH YOUR CITY ATTORNEY BEFORE MAKING THAT STATEMENT... As you asked me the same questions in several different forms of do I have documentation to confirm that I have access and other, I DO AND I PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO & EVEN THE MORNING OF THE MEETING.. YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT AND READ THAT IF YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH!!!!! BUT YOU DIDN'T, WHICH SHOWS ME HOW TRULY SORRY YOU ARE FOR MY LOSS BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EVEN READ ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND TAKE CARE OF THE TASK THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU.... DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!! As you've had this file/ emails/ documentation since Late July, it wasn't until the meeting on Tuesday (9/27) that you said you will contact Rocio Fierro ... I asked if you can also contact and coordinate with My Attorney and you refused, already appearing to be flustered because I had to correct you... I don't care how much you were trying to keep your cool, I could with your body language, eye movements and slight change in color, you were flustered... I asked you how soon can I hear from you on this because as I've been trying to make attempts since March with Civil Standbys and All and since then, The house has been foreclosed on, The Person responsible for My Father's Murder has Stolen everything out the house (family heirlooms, furniture, pictures,etc) and the only thing I need to get is The Vehicle that's in the carport since I am now being sued for it as The Administrator of The Trust and My Estranged Stepmother's Car is blocking it.... You tried to brush the question off so I asked more directly, "Can you please give me a time when I can hear from you and have this resolved?".. You responded, directly, "No, I will not give you a time...." in a very short tone and I could tell you were agitated.. YOU HAVE SOME NERVE AND YOU DON'T THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, I SEE... So let me get this straight, as I'm already in process of filing a claim against the city and your department (taking money away from the already over budgeted city and your short staffed department) because of the several careless acts of negligence caused primarily by Sgt. George Phillips, I've already suffered the loss of My Father, have had death threats that your department gave the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD confirmed, have lost damn near all sentimental belongings that were in that house by being stolen (photos, heirlooms, furniture, his clothes, etc) because your department didn't know to follow the proper procedure and have suffered A GREAT AMOUNT OF STRESS BECAUSE OF THE ACTS OF INCONVENIENCES UNNECESSARILY CAUSED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT ALL SINCE MARCH..... And you can't be considerate enough to see with all of that, take a few moments, make a call or 2 to get proper clarification and confirmation and coordinate something that would only take less than an hour to resolve??? As much as a few of your officers have messed up so far, you can't take a few moments out of the day to JUST DO YOUR JOB, RESOLVING THE MATTER QUICKLY JUST SO WE CAN ALL MOVE ON?? The sooner you do your job, the sooner I'll stop bugging you.... As I'm already in process of filing a claim against the City and Your Department because of your "non education" with the issue of gaining access to the property with the Trust & Administration Documentation as I was refused access, inaccurately passing things off as a "civil matter" and since March, Everything has been stolen out of the house since then, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN EGO PROBLEM BECAUSE I CORRECTED YOU ON SOME THINGS, YOU'RE WILLING TO COST THE CITY AN ADDITIONAL $125,000+ (The Value of The Car)???? ALL THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND FOLLOW UP ON A TASK THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU SINCE LATE
65
JULY???? You ought to be ashamed and May God Have Mercy On YOUR SOUL WITH THE MISTREATMENT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS.. So, Assistant Chief Jordan, how much do you really care about the city and your department??? How Truly Are You Sorry for My Loss as You So Superficially Stated??? How much do you truly honor your badge and what it stands for in protecting and serving??? Your actions spoke louder than your words, Jordan and I'm offended and disappointed.... You're too attractive and high ranking to be so foolish and careless... The Simplest Resolution I am Requesting??? I am just asking for a Civil Stand by... I will coordinate (as I've done before) with Tow Trucks, Attorney and Locksmiths to gain access through the gate and onto the property... Since My Estranged Stepmother's (who is also the suspect in looking to be charged with Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft, Attempt to Commit Fraud (Insurance Agency), Fraud/ Forgery with DMV & Falsifying Information on a Police Report) other car is parked in the driveway, blocking the carport, if she is there, the officer will tell her to move her car out of the driveway so I can have access... If she is not there, I will have her car towed and placed on the street. I will remove the vehicle listed in the trust, check the property to see if there are any other items listed in the trust (the house has been damn near completely cleaned out but still need to check) and be done... I am just asking that with all the information provided to your department, confirming ownership and rights onto the property and personal property listed to the trust be advised to the responding officer so if the Squatter aka Suspect aka Estranged Stepmother tries to feed some garbage out her property and other, the officer will know the situation ahead of time and be able to act accordingly, instead of refusing access and brushing off as a civil matter (which has been an ongoing inaccurate occurrence).. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, ASSISTANT CHIEF JORDAN SINCE THIS CAN ALL BE DONE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR... With the topic of status of the rest of My Father's Belongings that were in that truck and on his body, and the issue of releasing property, again the issue of the Trust came up as I provided all of this documentation to Sgt. Phillips since the beginning and you had in your possession since Late July (emails attachments with the complaints/requests).. A Trust is defined as a Legal Obligation given by a person called the donor or settler (my dad), binding upon the Trustee (Administrator/ Executor) of the Trust, for the benefit of another (referred to as beneficiary).. Assistant Chief Jordan, you directly stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a civil matter and property is released to next of Kin (which would be My estranged Stepmother).... You made the same mistake Captain Tull Did as you did not DO YOUR RESEARCH/ HOMEWORK... I questioned your statement because if that was the case, why did Sgt. George Phillips, out of negligence, directly contact my brother (beneficiary) about The Truck (that was Illegally Auctioned Off, Later) that My Father Was murdered in, instead of My Estranged Stepmother??? You responded that Phillips did contact My Stepmother and she told him to give the truck to my brother.... You didn't say "Phillips may have" or "Possibly"..... You directly responded with that statement with confidence as if it was a fact... Assistant Chief Jordan, your response was a COMPLETE BOLD FACED BAD LIE AND YOU NEED TO QUIT IT!! I KNOW THAT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE BECAUSE WHEN I PUT SGT. PHILLIPS ON SPOT, HE STATED DIRECTLY (via email and verbal on voicemail) THAT HE RELEASED THE TRUCK DIRECTLY TO MY BROTHER SINCE HE IS THE "BENEFICIARY" OF THAT TRUCK.... So not only did you try to cover for Phillips, but you got caught in a LIE, not knowing what I already knew... AS YOU TAKE AN OATH OF LOYALTY TO THE BADGE AND ALL IT STANDS FOR IN PROTECTING AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY, DON'T EVER LIE AND ESPECIALLY DON'T EVER LIE TO ME!!! Your colleagues should have warned you about me because I'm not the general population female.... So back to the Trust, as you stated that Department Policy does not Honor Trusts because it is a "civil matter" and property is released to next of kin, I asked you "are you sure?" and "Can you email me what
66
you just stated" because if that's the case, your department and the city would be covered with law suites and liabilities.. You stopped (already flustered because I've corrected you a few times already) and had to think about it and said you'll check with the city Attorney.. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THIS SINCE BEFORE OUR INITIAL MEETING THAT WAS CANCELLED ON 8/4 AND HAD THE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES THE ENTIRE TIME BUT DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.. So how much time did you put into this project, Assistant Chief??? Lastly, although I have filed a complaint against Sgt Phillips, it has nothing to do with him continuing the investigation.... And the case is still open... One of my main complaints, as My Brother and Daddy's Best Friend both confirmed to you is that there were leads that were provided with direct knowledge, even from the beginning and Sgt. Phillips never contacted many of them... Also, as I received Death Threats already knowing it's related to the person responsible for Daddy's Murder (My estranged stepmother), I asked to have my records traced and cross referenced to Daddy's and see any connection.. I received the brush off treatment as even San Leandro PD's Officers Confirmed.. I asked you in pushing forward, can he please do the trace & investigate to see if there is any connection and call the leads... You directly told me I have to file a complaint in order for him to do that... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, SOMETIMES.. JUST SAYING.... So Assistant Chief Jordan, let me get this straight... As the investigation is still open, you mean to tell me that with investigating as sometimes we have to back track our notes, exhaust leads and just check into information, I have to file a complaint for him to turn over a stone that he already has knowledge of??? So you're telling me that if I provided information to your department for an open investigation that might possibly be helpful, I have to waste the City's Over Budgeted Spending on Filing a Complaint, having people to review it and then tell him to do his job??? You mean to tell me, you'd rather for me to file a complaint, rather than you telling him to take a few minutes just to follow up on something to exhaust a possible lead/ connection that could possibly close the case, sooner so he can move on???? Assistant Chief Jordan, It appears that YOU'RE A LIABILITY TO THE CITY WITH HOW MUCH YOU'RE COSTING THEM WITH POOR JUDGEMENT & WASTING TIME..... So let me ask again, Are you SURE I HAVE TO FILE/ ADD COMPLAINT IN ORDER FOR PHILLIPS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH INFORMATION HE NEVER CHECKED ON AND IS ALSO RELATED TO MY SAFETY?? Since you didn't do your homework and as I've mentioned I've been involved with a car chase since Daddy's Homicide, Received Death Threats and Other.. Let me remind you as I, along with everyone else knows I'm the Next Target?? Is because for the person responsible for his murder (my estranged stepmother) has a motive of pure hate towards me (which is why she is acting the way she is and committed all these separate crimes since)... When my father was alive, and I was the closest person to him, I was not only his business partner and Daddy's Girl, But His Doberman (My Nickname).... What ever he told me to do, I did while he sat back and relaxed... For the person responsible for Daddy's Murder, upon request, I have fired her from the job a few times, repossessed the car she was driving.. When Daddy wanted to separate in the past from her, I coordinate everything and made it happen... When Daddy didn't want to be around her and she was stalking and harassing him, I prepared the protective orders for him and all he had to do was sign and be there.. Even for the eviction, I'm the one who prepared the document, he signed it and I served her for him and was to complete the process.. After his death and as you will see, he didn't leave her in charge and really didn't leave her anything, including a life insurance policy, she's still angry and blamed me for years for why he didn't want to be with her... So as you see from the tons of police reports & restraining orders and other, just as she removed him, the story is not over.. With your actions on Tuesday, tells me either way, you don't give a damn as your ego is too much in the way and you're too busy and you're too lazy and/or comfortable in your position to research anything....
67
Either way, Jordan, I'm going give you a fair shot here and ask that you correct your inaccuracies and do the right thing... As the meeting was from 2-2:30, it ran over and as time grew closer to 3, I observed something and want to point it out... On the day of the initial meeting, which was scheduled from 3-3:30, I called the patrol desk when I was trying to find parking to let them know to notify you I'm there but will be in a few minutes late, although my brother and daddy's friend were already there and waiting.. As I came in around 3:10 and waited in line (since McDonald told My Brother that he wasn't going to acknowledge him because he wasn't supposed to be in the meeting), when I finally talk to McDonald, he called the 8th Floor and told me the meeting was cancelled... I didn't understand and it was Kiona Suttle that came down stairs to inform me that Jordan had already left and he usually gets off by 3:15 (This was approximately 3:17).. I showed her my call log to confirm when I called into Patrol at 2:57.... Kiona then went upstairs and went to find someone to meet with us... She came downstairs, apologetic and confirmed no one was available and instructed me to call to reschedule with Yolanda... But one fact is JORDAN WAS GONE BEFORE THE MEETING TIME SLOT WAS OVER BEFORE 3:17... I made a complaint about this shortly after and Yolanda called to address the issue and stated that Jordan was there the day of the meeting and did not leave early.... I could tell she was lying on the phone... But for confirmation??? One thing I noticed is in the meeting, as it got closer to 3, Jordan you kept looking at your watch and I could see you growing slightly impatient (like you were ready to go).... That was confirmation enough for me too see that your actions were consistent with the apology and update Kiona gave to me (IN TRUTH) on 8/4/11 and Yolanda is a lied, after the fact, trying to cover for YOU... YOU GUYS NEED TO QUIT LYING SO MUCH AND JUST DO YOUR JOB!!! WHAT ARE WE (THE CITY) PAYING YOU AND SUPPORTING YOU FOR????? DO THE RIGHT THING AND QUIT PLAYIN REINDEER GAMES!!!!! So Assistant Chief, Jordan?? As The meeting was held on Tuesday, I never received a follow up from the meeting, even to correct your inaccurate statements, but I am requesting response and resolution to these matters no later than Wednesday, October 5th, at close of the day.... These simple requests only take a few minutes to complete and as you didn't do your job and research before, and you WASTED MY TIME WITH THE MEETING SINCE YOU WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED, DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME AROUND... IF I DON'T HERE FROM YOU, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER STATISTIC TO BE ROLLED UNDER THE BUS WITH THE REST OF THE GENERAL POPULATION OF BAD APPLES WITH COMPLAINTS, CITIZEN'S REVIEW BOARD, ADDING TO THE CITY'S CLAIM AND OTHER... YOU'RE NOT ONLY COSTING ME MONEY AND WASTING MY TIME, BUT YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING TO THE CITY & YOUR DEPARTMENT... JUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND COMPLETE THE TASKS THAT WERE HANDED TO YOU 2 MONTHS AGO!!!! PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENTS ONCE AGAIN THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HAD IN YOUR POSSESSION FOR 2 MONTHS, REVIEW, RESEARCH AND RESOLVE, APPROPRIATELY!!!! WITH THAT HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND....

Dear Glenfriends: Having worked in Public Health twice in my career, I learned that public health laws have authority over all government officials including the U.S. president. It's not up to the occupants to decide whether their area is up to code, it's up to the officials because they have to comply with health, fire, saftey laws, or else the City gets in big trouble. It's a catch-22 situation right now for anyone concerned about OO. I agree, however, that rubber bullets and tear gas were totally unacceptable and unnecesary force used in this case. I'm sure the City will witness more protests to come because of this. Was Interim Chief Jordan in charge? I think the conservatives are gloating at this time. I have recently written before that there are those who would like to see the mayor fail regardless of what she does. She hasn't even served a year and the people against her, especially those who voted for her biggest opponent, have been waiting to make their move. Thus, there's the recall. The media is also responsible for a lot of misinformation. CBS Channel 5 is the worst, but I personally witnessed an NBC cameraman get harrassed by designated OO people and a woman in tears who felt a group in OO wasn't taking her seriously. I walked through the camp a few times and it's been a mixed bag with varying opinions on what is going on there, even with reports from sympathetic friends. However, OO has refused assistance on various levels and wants to function on their own terms and this is where problems have happened. This City is in a crisis. We have a choice to make about how we're each going to react and if our reactions will really help or hurt the situation. This is an opportunity for something better to be created or worse to occur and it also depends on how we all play our roles too. I'd like to hear what the Mayor actually says. I have my opinion just as thousands of others in Oakland do as well.

Dear Members & Friends, Congratulations to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and to the American Red Cross for their successful fundraising events this past weekend. Lake Merritt, one of Oakland's crown jewels, was the site on Saturday for the ADA's "Step Out Oakland" walk around the lake as well as the Red Cross's 5K marathon. Both were done over beautiful skies and occurred at the same time with great results. Congratulations are also in order to McGuire & Hester, a local construction company that is working on the 12th Street Reconstruction Project that features the start of reconfiguration of the previous 12-lane expressway that dominated the area between Lake Merritt and the Kaiser Convention Center. The area is being converted into a sixlane, tree-lined boulevard with signalized intersections and crosswalks as well as a landscaped median. This portion of work is expected to be completed in June 2012. The new roadway is being constructed further away from the shoreline and will allow for the creation of a new four-acre park with a waterfront overlook at the south end of Lake Merritt. The lake itself will receive a facelift with new pedestrian and bike paths and open-water bridges. Pathways under these bridges will lead from the lake to the Estuary while passing by the Oakland Museum, the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center and Laney College, providing residents and visitors with safer pedestrian and cyclist access along the perimeter of the lake. Part of the project will result in an open canal that will eventually allow travel by kayak from the lake to the Oakland Estuary. The project is using the funds that became available after the passage of Measure DD. God Bless America!

Hi, I'm an Oakland resident and voter living in zip 94602. I'm not directly involved in the "Occupy" protest movement, except perhaps as a cyber-cheerleader. Many of my friends have been attending the Occupy Oakland gathering, in various capacities; I've been getting regular updates from organizers and participants and I feel I have a pretty good understanding what is going on there. I object strenuously to the police action that's taken place early this morning. Using riot-quelling techniques on people who are not rioting is completely beyond the pale. As you are no doubt aware, we native Oaklanders harbor a fierce sense of civic pride, and a big part of that is Oakland's place in the post-WWII social justice struggle. But sending in shock troops, making random arrests, confiscation and destruction of private belongings, among folks who are peaceably assembled in a public space....I do not recognize my Oakland in these events. I urge you to reconsider the official City of Oakland response to this movement, and get your selves on the right side of history.

Mayor Quan, I'm writing to express my extreme disappointment at the police action at Occupy Oakland this morning. The use of tear gas and other harsh crowd control techniques was uncalled for. This is ultimately your responsibility. Those who authorized the use of these heavy-handed tactics should lose their jobs immediately, and the occupation should be allowed to continue on Oscar Grant Plaza.

Drumming is an ancient indigenous technology that uses the twin realities of rhythm and sound to bring about an alignment of body, mind and spirit. Mindful drumming is a path to evoke joy of our ancestors and their timeless wisdom. This is a moment to remember and celebrate intimate rhythms with those who came before us through synchronistic communal drumming. "Since love is eternal, change need not be viewed as fearful"
Mindful Drumming is a very specific form of drumming, an expedient way of tapping into our natural rhythm. If practiced in a conscious way it can be a tool to experience wellness and happiness. Mindful drumming assists in building community.

Experience the twin concept of rhythm and sound vibration as a way of meditation. Together we will experience diverse rhythms, joining our intentions while maintaining a meditative state.

Dear Mayor Quan I'm a proud Oakland homeowner, and today a very concerned Oakland homeowner, and I need your help. We met during your election campaign, on my doorstep in Maxwell Park, when I was enormously pregnant and our dahlias were blooming - I gave you one that matched your red dress. Having met you and voted for you, I know that you are a compassionate and sensible person, and are committed to being tough on crime in Oakland. I am appealing to you on both accounts. I am devastated about the police raid on the Occupy Oakland encampment. I believe that the pellet guns, tear gas etc used by the police constituted an undue use of force. I am deeply ashamed that our progressive, diverse city has treated our Occupy activists more harshly than cities that are generally considered more conservative. And I am angry about the huge allocation of police resources, given that in my neighborhood, we have always had an abysmal police response time to the burglaries and assaults that occur and are reported here. The City of Oakland should be a national leader in addressing economic inequity issues head on - not in forceful repression of the activists who are bringing these issues to light. What kind of leadership can we expect from the Mayor's office on this issue moving forward? I look forward to your response. Yours most sincerely, Billie Mandel Hillen Drive, Maxwell Park

My biggest concern is that this all went down with, as far as I know, very limited communication between protesters and the City. From talking with protesters and the media, Mayor Quan never approached and talked with Occupy Oakland, only sending assistants out to deliver letters. Imagine how powerful it would have been to have the Mayor talking with, and working with Occupy Oaklanders from Day One. Issues with sanitary conditions, graffiti, and interactions with the media, could have been worked out. Instead, things escalated. I agree that Jean has been blamed for *far* too much. We don't have enough monies and political will for social services, a *huge* amount of our tax dollars goes to fight unjust wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, etc, with very little left over for the 99% who need assistance through these tough times. Lack of opportunities leads to crime, and we are faced with touch decisions as to whether to add more cops for short term solutions, or fund social programs for long term sustainability... and too often our politicians fail us with short term law-enforcement solutions like curfews that don't work. But in this instance, Mayor Quan is wrong and I am *very* disappointed in her decision and the actions of the City Administrator and the Oakland Police Department. I have a friend who right now is facing $10,000 bail or will have to stay in jail until Thursday. She's a union organizer, much like Mayor Quan was years ago...

I am astonished at the fury directed at Mayor Quan. I have differed with her on various issues over the years, still do from time to time. I still have to review the ballot issues carefully. But for heavens sake, she is pouring every ounce of energy she has into trying to address the Citys major issues while selling and boosting the Citys wonderful aspects, so it can prosper and not be ruined by its criminal elements and anthropology. Shes been in office less than a year. Who else would be expected to solve our crime problem instantly, with no cops? I have to conclude that because change is actually happening, decades of grief and anger now are freed for expression.

Dear City Staff, As previously reported, this morning the Oakland Police Department began enforcement of the Notice of Violations and Demand to Cease Violations issued on Friday, October 21, to persons staying overnight in Frank Ogawa Plaza related to the Occupy Oakland demonstration. By approximately 5:30 am, Frank Ogawa Plaza had been contained and the clean-up phase was immediately put in place. A multi-departmental team has been committed to the clean-up effort throughout the day and will continue this effort until City facilities are cleared of any health and safety concerns. Please note that Occupy Oakland has put out a call to gather at 4 p.m. at the Oakland Public Library, 14th and Madison streets. The library will remain open until 5:30 pm and appropriate crowd control measures will be put in place. With the exception of re-routing 14th Street, all other transportation routes are uninterrupted. Although there was a delay in work schedules for those working around Frank Ogawa Plaza this morning, we do not anticipate any disruption to City staffs remaining normal work day schedule. Employees are directed to remain at work for their normal work schedules today. During this disruption, we respect that you may need to make decisions in the best interest of yourself and/or your family. If you need to leave early, please work with your direct supervisor to get normal procedural approvals and use your leave balance. Work is to resume at normally scheduled times tomorrow, unless notified otherwise by City Administration. The City remains committed to respecting free speech as well as maintaining the Citys responsibility to protect public health and safety. Once the Plaza is cleaned up and reopened, peaceful daytime assembly will continue to be allowed between 6 am and 10 pm daily, but no camping or overnight stays will be permitted. I greatly respect the commitment City staff has shown during these events and appreciate your patience these past two weeks, and I recognize the inconvenience that you have faced as a result of the demonstration. I also want to reiterate my appreciation that despite the distractions, you continue to meet your work responsibilities. Again, thank you for keeping your focus on providing outstanding service to our community. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. You can view the written communications we have delivered on the Citys home page at www.oaklandnet.com. Sincerely, Deanna J. Santana City Administrator

Mayor Quan and members of the Oakland City Council , I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza.

Judge rejects plea deal for three defendants accused of dozens of Oakland strong-armed robberies By Paul T. Rosynsky Oakland Tribune Posted: 10/25/2011 OAKLAND -- An Alameda County judge rejected a package plea deal Tuesday for three defendants accused of a string of strong-armed robberies, saying he no longer was comfortable that the defendants agreed to the deal without receiving pressure to do so from one another. The unusual but not unprecedented ruling by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Morris Jacobson will now result in the three defendants facing a jury trial and at least two of them facing life terms in prison rather than the roughly 22 years they would have been sentenced to had the deal been approved. Jacobson made his ruling just minutes before the three defendants were scheduled to be sentenced to prison under the package deal they agreed to in August. Under that deal, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office agreed to drop more than 60 separate felony charges against the defendants in exchange for their admission that they robbed dozens of people during an eight-month spree that included 19 home invasion robberies. The robberies victimized residents living near Lake Merritt to High Street and included homes in the Dimond and Laurel districts. In many of those robberies, the defendants are accused of using a gun, once to pistol-whip a senior citizen and, at another time, to allegedly threaten the life of a 2-year-old. During the robberies, the three are accused of stealing money, jewelry, laptops and cell phones. At the time of their arrest in January,former Police Chief Anthony Batts and District Attorney Nancy O'Malley held a news conference to announce that the "terrorizing" case was closed. Seven months later, O'Malley's office offered the trio a deal in part to avoid having the victims relive the terror they suffered through testimony at a trial and because at least two of the defendants had clean criminal pasts and all three were young. But questions surrounding the validity of the plea deal surfaced last month when one of the defendants, Romier Simmons, 24, of Stockton, asked, against the advice if his attorney, if he
109
could withdraw his plea of no contest and instead argue his case before a jury. Jacobson agreed to give Simmons more time to discuss the deal with his attorney and set a hearing for Tuesday where Simmons was to make his final decision. At the hearing, Simmons said he thought about the deal and agreed it was in his best interest to take it. He said the pressure he felt to make the deal came from himself. But no sooner did Simmons agree, another defendant in the case, Christopher Malbrough, 23, of Hayward, said he wanted to withdraw his plea and try his luck before a jury. Malbrough said the two-decade long term in prison under the deal was too long. He said he'd rather die in prison than face a life in which he is released at age 45 with no prospects for work. "It's a long time and the thing that scares me the most is not the time but what am I going to do when I get out," Malbrough said. "I'd rather die in prison." Although Malbrough's reasoning for withdrawing his plea was not legally valid, Jacobson ruled there were too many questions surrounding the deal for him to be comfortable. "I'm at a point where there is so much sketchy behavior by all defendants that I am no longer comfortable," Jacobson said. "Just all of it, it's like standing on shifting sand." Jacobson's ruling upset the third defendant, Kyra Bayless, 21, of Milpitas, who faced just six years under the deal because she was only charged with a couple of the robberies. "You seriously trippin'," Bayless said to the other defendants. "This whole thing is just (expletive) crazy." All three are expected back in court next month and are scheduled to have a jury trial in January. __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1)

Interfaith Communities United 7th Annual Gathering:
Shelter in a Time of Storms - Our Stories Continue

Click here to view the slideshow!
We gain freedom when we tell our own story. With these words, Reverend Alan Senauke set the tone of inspiration and action at EBHOs 7th Annual Interfaith Gathering: Shelter in a Time of Storms: Our Stories Continue on October 12. Under the vaulted ceiling of the beautiful Islamic Center of Northern California, 120 faith leaders, activists, elected officials, and community members shared stories of resistance, resilience, and persistence in the name of giving voice to the unheard and making the invisible visible. The morning served as a call to action for housing justice, and as a tribute to Reverend Phil Lawsons seven years directing EBHOs Interfaith Communities United for Affordable Housing (ICU).
In the inclusive spirit of ICU, the event opened and closed with blessings from the Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic, Jewish and Ohlone traditions. Speakers Suzoni Camp, Janny Castillo, Nancy Delaney and Brian Stein-Webber shared their reflections and personal journeys of finding new strength in affordable housing, and of fighting to ensure the same opportunities for others. EBHO Executive Director Amie Fishman reflected on the current movement moment, as people rise up for economic justice locally and globally. And Reverend Phil Lawson, who will be retiring from EBHO in December, spoke of ICUs efforts to turn swords into plowshares, including: bringing clergy together from across the East Bay, campaigning for affordable housing at the Concord Naval Weapons Station, creating a national Council of Elders, supporting immigrant rights and economic justice efforts, and encouraging congregations to use their resources, land, and influence to promote affordable housing. As always, guests enjoyed wonderful food and company, and reported leaving renewed and reenergized. Many signed up to take concrete action, speak to their congregations, or become EBHO members. Ten people pledged to join the Interfaith Communities United advisory committee. Another nine pledged to involve their congregations in Housing Sabbath in May 2012. With the help of many of you in the community, we look forward to continuing interfaith work with Rev. Lawson after his "retirement", and to seeing our interfaith allies at future events. Please join the next meeting of Interfaith Communities United on Wednesday, November 16 from 12 - 2 PM at EBHO; RSVP to Rev. Phil Lawson at phil@ebho.org.

Hello Planning Committee: TSFF supported Oakland Education Cabinet was a huge success for no other actual reason than the Early Childhood Prenatal-8 Committee. When it was formed we were told that the OUSD only had 300 children enrolled in their early childhood programs that last year had some 1600! Dues to a lack of staff and lack of knowledge staff had not actively recruited parents to enroll their children. In mid summer we created the Swing Into Preschool Campaign (I hope that TSFF can help to institutionalize this campaign) and with substantial help from Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson, Alameda County Child Care Council, Mills College, Mayor's Office and many others we have more than 1700 enrolled...and the campaign will continue for another few weeks! The 1700 children (numbers in the attachment) translates to children from families with challenging life circumstances enrolled in preschool, jobs (staff are hired based on need), and in theory the parents are able to work too. And the committee is just getting started. It's going to tackle literacy, transitional kindergarten and enrollment for next year. And we continue to have people contact me to join the committee. While the rest of the OEC and its six other committees continues to be a bit nebulous this committee was a smashing success. As you know my work with the OEC formerly ends Nov. 1 and soon you will receive a summary of my work to help to create and support the OEC.

I have never had such insomnia since I moved into Piedmont Ave Lofts. The parking lot is way over lit all night long and comes through my shades and large unshaded windows. The therapy offices are lit all night long every night. I hardly think this fits with the motto of "Thrive." I am exasperated and greatly fatiqued by Ms. Devries' "Oh I'm sorry,
I'll talk to operations about it.:"

She has given me excuse after excuse about why this hasn't gotten any attention since my first complaints years ago." You give me a little gift bag to appease me. Ironically, when I have applied for Kaiser Heath insurance which I had for years when I was a school teacher, I have been denied. I feel all neighbors sharing your campus without us reaping any rewards should have preferential treatment. I suffer the parking issues, traffic conditions, i.e. I can no longer turn left on Broadway from 38th, nor can I make a u turn at
117
the next possible left. I have dealt with the noise, dust and dirt in my house from the demolition and building. During the demolition my allergies and lungs reacted badly. I was told I would have my house and windows, screens cleaned but it never happened. I have been given nothing but lip service from Judy Devries. I imagine she is doing her job well which is to placate the public and try to unruffle any feathers. I am usually not a complainer, but for the above reasons I am furious and plan to seek changes by what ever means I have to. I feel all neighbors within the range of Kaiser's campus and beyond should be given preferential treatment as Kaiser makes huge financial profit at the neighborhood's expense. First, I want all lights out in the the therapy offices by November 15, 2011. Secondly, I want the parking lights changed to motion detectors suitably adjusted not to be trapped by cats, rats and raccoons by November 15, 2011. I want immediate response to this email. I am prepared to seek monetary recompense for the light pollution and subsequence sleep deprevention. Gail roboinson

Kudos to the police for clearing out the Occupy Oakland protesters, who were violating city ordinances, with minimum use of force and no protester casualties. Of course, the action took place while Quan was out of town. Not that I think the police took action on their own. Rather I strongly suspect that Quan directed it to take place while she was gone so her "progressive" allies couldn't associate her directly with the police action. After all, didn't Quan lead one of the Occupy Oakland protest marches? Good leaders support their troops with their presence when they are sent in harms way. No so Jean Quan.

Mayor Quan and members of the Oakland City Council , I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. This is what our forefathers wanted. They insisted that people had to have the right to gather and speak. It is paramount to the freedoms of this country and our democracy.

Mentoring Brochure(Final V2).pdf
Hello everybody, Just a reminder this Thursday, October 27th, 4pm in the Mayor's Office, we will be meeting to discuss what we want to do together around National Mentoring Month in January. We already have a professional videographer who has offered his services to develop some PSA's for us. He is available every other Friday to do some taping. Even if you will not be attending Thursday's meeting, but have ideas of what we can do to both promote mentoring in general, promote specific programs, demystify who is a mentor, what it's like being a mentor/mentee, that would be great. As many of you know, the Mayor has a weekly e-newsletter, where she likes to highlight a volunteer each week. If you have a volunteer you would like to highlight, please let Sue know, providing their name, what role they are playing, and contact information. This is a great way to promote individual programs and recognizing all of our great volunteers! Next Friday, November 4th at 4pm again in the Mayor's Office, we will have the next steering committee meeting. All are welcome. We will be finalizing our mission and vision, reviewing the proposal Bob Goetsch distributed regarding a strategic plan for the mentoring initiative, discussing National Mentoring Month, and date and agenda for a next gathering of the Mentoring Forum. Previously I sent out the notes from the October 5th meeting and the attendee/invitee list. At the October 10th Public Safety Summit we had a workshop on Mentoring youth, where the attached brochure was distributed. Aisha from Oakland Bay Area CARES spoke about the importance of mentoring, we had a mentor from OreMi speak about his experience, two mentees from Beyond Emancipation described the importance of mentoring, and a mother with PeaceMakers spoke about the profound impact of her child's
127
mentoring on the whole family. It was a moving workshop and folks signed up afterwards who were interested in mentoring. Attached you will find the brochure- a work in progress! If you go to http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/Mayor/i/EducationLeadership/OAK025457 you will see similar content. The next recruitment activity will be at the Oakland Raiders fan gathering on Saturday November 5th at the Convention Center. We now have two wonderful interns from Cal who are helping out by following up with people who signed up at events expressing interest in mentoring Oakland's most at-risk youth.Welcome to Marena Rankin and Lauren Chee! Pending to send out is a description of the 100 block initiative Mayor Jean Quan mentioned at the October 5th meeting and elaborated on at the October 10th Public Safety Summit. Questions? Concerns? Need some info? Contact me: Celia Davis 510-393-9140 or Sharon Rose 510-915-6894 sharonrose1@earthlink.net volunteers- Mayor's Mentoring Initiative

Exactly the wrong thing to do. Using the police to clear out Occupy Oakland was exactly the wrong thing to do . Questions: 1. Where was the emergency? 2. Is it better now? 3. Was someone saved by this? 4. Is it somehow the fault of the protestors that there is so little trust in government? 5. Is there going to be better trust in government now? 6. Will the relations between Oakland and our police force improve now? What struck me most was the image of the police tearing up the signs and kicking the Occupy tent peoples stuff all over the plaza. I thought that the Police job was to arrest people and let Public Works clean up the encampment, not to do a violent victory dance over the defeat of those whose politics they oppose. I stuck my neck out in person, in public and on line telling the protestors to engage, to accept dialog, to back away from any confrontation and to carry ourselves with dignity out of respect for our fellow citizens and out of respect for the righteousness of our cause. It seems that the same message was needed inside our city government this week. No wonder that they never returned calls. And in the end, the police wracked more violence in a couple hours, destroyed more property and hurt more people that Occupy Oakland did in two weeks. Keep in mind, there was no riot, no emergency, no move made by the protestors other than to refuse to leave. It was the city of Oakland and the police that initiated the violence and chose its time. Many things could have been done instead, especially since there was no urgent problem. For one they could have given our offer to act as a go between a try. No calls returned. How was that any different from the folk at the General Assembly refusing to speak with the city? For every protestor arrested this morning, you can figure there are at least 1,000 who supported that cause and at least 100 of their community who will know the person taken away. You can add this number of people to the already existing resentment and distrust. You can add this to the history of bad relations between Oakland Police and Oakland. We had cops from the suburbs arresting our protestors, destroying poor peoples property, and relishing tearing up our signs and kicking our stuff around. No good will come of this. Maybe they could burn the books from the library tent and make a full show of it. Yesterday I was at the Snow Park part of the encampment ball to the kids tent. My son picked that ball out for morning I told him what happened and that all people in ball are now gone, to be trashed by the police. He felt those were most of the toys he had. and we donated a tarp and a big blue those kids from his own toys. This the tents, the toys and the big blue sorry for one of the kids for whom
A number of the people in both encampments were living there before the protests started. Most of the big problems sited in the citys memos already existed. Those people will now
133
face jail, inadequate social services and all the situations that made them homeless and living in the Plaza in the first place. Those 6 children who lived in the camp will be badly hurt by all of this in ways that will leave a lasting effect. But in our city, some hippies smoking dope in the park protesting banks is an urgent situation worthy of high spending and violence to quash. The hundreds, maybe thousands of Oakland residents who reside nowhere is obviously not so urgent a problem. Now the two have met the police. When my 8 year old overheard adults talking about where the protests go from here he said: what protests? now it is more like a war and sure enough we have something of a war on the streets of Oakland tonight, a war provoked by unnecessary police intervention. A beautiful thing has been lost. Occupy Oakland had its problems, but it also had its promise. There were workshops, books, a childrens zone and some very good community bridge building going on. The place did not look or feel like a riot, it felt more like a festival. To quote Zennie it was bone headed to refuse to talk to the city. Zennie is also right on to say that efforts inside the protest were dealing with the problems that the city was complaining about. All of them, even opening up and inviting the city to come and talk at the General Assembly. Most of the stories in the press were gross exaggerations and half truths. Members of the community were also coming out with everything from port-a-potties, protest marchers and just plane willingness to speak with the protesters and promote solidarity and harmony. Also beautiful and totally justified is the anger expressed towards those who own our economy and the government that serves them and only them. A beautiful opportunity has also been lost. This Occupy Wall Street movement is a watershed in American politics. Oakland could have been the place where there could have been harmony and cooperation between our local government and this very justified protest movement. We have every reason in the world to be mad with Wall Street, the big Banks and the corrupt system of lobbyist based politics that Occupy Wall Street is pulling back the curtain on. Now we have every reason on earth to be mad at our local government. -Don Macleay (510) 290-1200

The sign at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration revealed the struggles of Americas young: A B.A., $30,000 in student debt and no job. Young people are graduating from college into the worst jobs market since the 1930s while carrying record levels of student debt. The sad truth of Occupy Wall Street is that for many of the young activists, Wall Street occupied them first. Students are borrowing twice what they did a decade ago, even adjusting for inflation. Debt has doubled in just five years. Student debt is likely to exceed $1 trillion over the next year. As states cut back on college support and grants, college tuitions have risen faster than the cost of homes, health care or energy. Americans believe a college education is key to their childrens future, so more and more borrow what they can. Students are now graduating with average debts of over $24,000. When I speak to families in mining towns in Appalachia, I ask how many have lost a job, how many face foreclosure, how many face costly medical bills. Many hands go up. But when I ask how many worry about student loans, the biggest portion of the audience stands up. It is working families families stretching to give their children the chance that they never had who are taking on the greatest debt and are at the greatest risk. The banking industry has used its clout to make these loans the harshest of all debt. They survive bankruptcy. The lenders have broad collection powers, far greater than with a mortgage or a credit card. They can garnish wages or even Social Security payments. When payments are missed, penalties are brutal. Students who graduate and then lose their job suddenly find themselves owing twice what they signed up for. The debt constricts normal life events. Students must put off moving out from their parents home, buying a car or saving for a home or retirement. They delay getting married or having children. Defaults have soared. In 2008, more than 238,000 defaulted on their loans. The number of loans that went into forbearance or deferment (when borrowers receive temporary relief from payments) rose to 22 percent in 2007. President Obama and his wife, Michelle, struggled to pay off student debts long after they graduated. The president increased Pell grants and provided relief that would link government loan payments to income, and provide potential forgiveness for those taking public service jobs. But despite the largest increase of student aid since the GI Bill, the debts keep getting bigger. The debt not only enslaves the borrowers, it threatens the economy. With millions of young people burdened by debt, demand for apartments, homes, cars and discretionary goods is reduced. Occupy Wall Street can ask these hard questions: Banks corrupted Congress with campaign contributions to facilitate their fleecing
136
of the most vulnerable of students with the most onerous of provisions. Why should big banks be able to get virtually interest-free money from the Federal Reserve, while students are forced to pay far higher interest rates? Why should bankruptcy courts be able to rewrite mortgages on the vacation homes of the wealthy while student loans are untouchable? Students need legislation to allow their loans to be refinanced in bankruptcy court, or forgiven. Why dont we provide students with the grants or low-cost loans the banks get? Many young people forgo college. Others drop out, unwilling to rack up debt. If there is anything that is too big and too important to fail, it is our next

Hello Ms. Quan, I want you to know I was proud of you and our great city when you announced the way our city was to welcome and allow the Occupy Oakland Protestors. I am now saddened by the pepper spray and the breakdown of camp that happened today. If cooking is/was a problem, you announced that and the protestors took cooking away. If rats were a problem and public urination was a problem, allow for more garbage pickup, green waste composting pickup, and porta potties. If this city is one thing, it IS the 99%. Including YOU. We need to be the example for other cities as to how it is going to be. Heavy handed and pepper spray is the same old same old. Our town is the new way. Our city is able to see the bigger picture and work through the problems of a long standing protest without force and violence. Shame on you Mayor Quan. But also, I leave you room to fix your blunder and create a better solution than the one you just presented. A tax paying, small business owning citizen of Oakland, eileen karpfinger, dc

Dear Mayor Quan I am shocked at the news tonight. Our police force is throwing tear gas into crowds of Oakland citizens. The majority of these people are peaceful. They are protesting the inequity of our tax and monetary system which is adversely effecting our city government as well as each one of us personally. We do not have enough police to catch the bad guys. These protesters are the wrong target. Please step up and speak out for me. Praise the protesters, make their voice heard. It could help.

About Us
The Associated Real Property Brokers, Inc. (ARPB), is a predominately African American real estate trade association, founded in Oakland, CA in 1948 at a time when real estate professionals of color were banned from membership in Realtor organizations. In 1954, ARPB was chartered as a local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, Inc. (NAREB), the largest African American trade association in the United States, and is a branch of the statewide organization, California Association of Real Estate Brokers (CAREB). The trade name for members of NAREB is "Realtist". Since 1954, ARPB has been the premiere advocate for fair, decent and affordable housing and employment opportunities in the real estate industry in Northern California, and with NAREB, has been responsible for much of the fair housing legislation now in existence in the United States. Though many of our members also exercise their right today to be members of NAR, they understand the continued need for an organization that puts democracy in housing and the needs of our community first. NAREB is that organization. ARPB is the local arm of NAREB, based in Oakland and serving east bay communities, it has a rich history of developing local, state and national leaders in the real estate industry.

Update from City Administrator: Emergency Operations Center (EOC) continues to be activated, and the City Administrator and the Emergency Operations Team are monitoring all activities. Approx 1,700 individuals have asembled in multiple locations from Snow Park to Broadway & 14th Street. With assistance from additional mutual aid (100-150 officers), OPD has made multiple requests of the crowd to disperse. Several officers have been assualted. Crowds have been attempting to break into the Frank Ogawa Plaza. Due to the crowd not being responsive to OPD's requests, and after repeated announcements and assaults on officers, tear gas has been used as a means to disperse the crowd. Chief Jordan will be holding a press conference in the next hour.
Attached is the most recent press release. We will continue to provide updates as events evolve.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I'm an American and we've got this awesome thing called the First Amendment, which protects the right to assemble.

Who wants to start a betting pool that Quan and CC will permanently rename FOP to OGP within a couple of months? Would be rich if rumor correct that Quan delegated to Jordan and then departed for DC. Nothing like "plausible deniability" Hope Chief Jordan is going to get a particularly big pre retirement pay bump for taking the heat on this for her. -len raphael __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1)

Hi Jean, I just read an article in Scientific American about how crime in New York City dropped so dramatically related to a large police presence in crime areas. It was pretty impressive, and I was already thinking about Oakland and what we can take from their experience. Then the Occupy Oakland site was trashed by police today, and I feel heartsick to think of our resources being squandered in a major police overreaction to this inspiring group of people. Jean, this was simply not necessary and is a contradiction of the way we all grew up demonstrating for justice. We in Oakland need our police to be deployed into the areas in which our young people are getting killed, NOT to the site of peaceful and critically important protest. Please use your influence to stop using the police as a repressive instrument, and rather use them to make our neighborhoods safe for all of us. Thanks, Danielle
Danielle Rosenman, M.D.

This email is directed to Mayor Quan and colleagues. I am not necessarily taking sides on the decision to evict the demonstrators from the Ogawa Plaza....that is a whole different discussion but I will say that it is inarguably horrible to see this kind of political strife in our own city. But, in all of this heartbreaking chaos and violence my real question is: WHERE IS OUR DUMB ASS MAYOR???? I voted for and supported your campaign and now you have completely lost credibility with me and many others by your non-presence at such an important time in our city. Your face and voice has been NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!!! The fact that you are not even in town when the OPD was set to take such decisive action is UNTHINKABLE; Seriously...did you: 1. NOT KNOW WHAT ACTION YOUR POLICE FORCE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE? or, 2. NOT THINK IT WOULD BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL??? WHAT BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON DC COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS??? WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT???? Seriously! Because there are no good answers to these questions, the quality of your judgement must be called into question and as a result, your leadership ability is not credible. This is very much like that jackass George Bush Jr. being missing in action during the aftermath of Katrina in New Orleans.I cannot get over this: DID YOU NOT KNOW WHAT ACTION YOUR POLICE FORCE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE??? I am a long term Oakland resident, and I work for another major Bay Area city so I know too well how complex these issues are. But I expect my leaders, those people we elect and who are paid with our tax dollars TO LEAD. This is totally inexcusable to not have seen your face at all during this horrible horrible day into night here in our wonderful city. THIS IS INEXCUSABLY SHAMEFUL - TO BE MISSING WHEN WE NEED LEADERSHIP. WE DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. Do you GET that an INTERIM POLICE CHIEF is not the leader of the City? Where is anyone we elected to office? I have watched the news for hours and ONLY heard De La Fuentes' voice on KCBS for a moment. This is sickening....

Mayor Quan and members of the Oakland City Council , I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am disgusted by the excessive use of force against a peaceful protest. These protesters are the real patriots of our time and their brutalization by the Oakland Police is an insult to, a soiling of the US Constitution. Wake up Quan and look to more enlightened mayors, such as Portland's, to see how you should have behaved. What you have allowed to happen is a disgrace. Your cheeks should be flushed with shame.

Dear City Staff, I am writing to provide an update of the Occupy Oakland situation and Frank Ogawa Plaza. This morning, the City will reopen to the public and resume normal business hours in the Civic Center buildings surrounding Frank Ogawa Plaza (City Hall, 150 and 250). While we are open to the public, we will be putting out a media advisory that requests that individuals seeking City Hall services use discretion to time sensitive/urgent services and patience with City Staff. Despite a number of protests in downtown Oakland yesterday afternoon and into the evening, the Citys efforts to clean up the Plaza and prepare it for reopening are moving along smoothly. Many thanks to the Public Works Facilities staff for their extraordinary efforts to clean up the tent encampment, power wash the hardscape and sidewalks, remove graffiti, and begin to restore the Plaza for everyone to enjoy. Its been a big job and I appreciate that they have done it quickly and well. In addition, many thanks to staff that reported to work and continued to fulfill work responsibilities throughout the day under very unusual circumstances. I continue to appreciate the high level of team work and professionalism. We anticipate that Frank Ogawa Plaza will re-open later this afternoononce deemed safe to enter. We will provide more specific detail about the opening of the Plaza when we have it and further information/direction to City staff. The Emergency Operations Center will remain open until further notice to allow the City to effectively coordinate any response that is necessary and to speed our return to normalcy. Once again, I greatly appreciate your ongoing patience, dedication to service and spirit of cooperation as we have navigated the challenges posed by this situation over the past days and weeks. I continue to be impressed with the level of dedication of City employees and your collective service to our constituents. Sincerely, Deanna J. Santana City Adminsitrator

Support the Occupy Wall Street Oakland Movement

Review the press release and resolution in support of the Occupy Wall Street Oakland movement calling for the release of those arrested in the early hours of the morning on Tuesday, October 25, 2011. ALAMEDA LABOR COUNCIL RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF OCCUPY WALL STREET AND OCCUPY OAKLAND Whereas, the Occupy Wall Street protest and its Oakland counterpart is an action opposed to the income inequality, the unfair tax structure, the bank bailouts, and the undue corporate influence and greed that has created Americas current economic malaise, undermined its social contract, and laid to waste its ideals, and; Whereas, the negative effects of this elemental economic injustice are borne by middle class working families and the poor, while the financial racketeers most responsible for it are not only not held accountable but are allowed to continue to extract outrageous profits from it, and; Whereas, in a nation where 25 million people are out of work, where 50 million people have no access to health care, and where 1 in 5 children grow up in poverty without adequate access to food, clothing and shelter, where funding for public education is gutted, where infrastructure is left to decay, and where millions of Americans have lost their homes due to a flawed and sometimes fraudulent process of foreclosure, causing misery and hardship and lost tax revenue, and; Whereas, the salaries and bonuses of corporate executives continue to skyrocket while real wages for most workers have stagnated for the last 30 years during which period the gains in the economy have accrued almost entirely to the top 1% who now control at least 40% of the nations wealth, and where the top 400 Americans control more wealth than the bottom 180 million, and; Whereas, in a nation where corporations are treated as people and money as speech, exacerbated by the Supreme Courts 5-4 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission to allow unlimited spending on elections to vault corporate influence to a new extreme and gaining further advantage over an already tilted political system, a system which now threatens to reduce the voice of the people to irrelevance, and; Whereas, the rights of working people have been routinely attacked by the same unfair corporate power structure that led to new era of robber baron income inequality. Such attacks include illegal
47
interference with right to form or join a union and have used the economic crisis in both the public and private sectors as a pretext for rolling back benefits, cutting wages, and limiting the rights of unions, and; Whereas, the Alameda Labor Council has for more than 100 years supported the rights of workers and protesters to peaceably assemble and engage in non-violent demonstrations to expose economic and social injustice and attempt to adjust inequality and discrimination in any form, now; Therefore be it resolved, that the Alameda Labor Council shares the outrage, frustration and resolve of the protesters, commits to the fight, and goes on record in support of the Occupy Oakland and the entire Occupy Wall Street movement, and; Therefore be it further resolved, that the Alameda Labor Council supports the right of the protesters to peaceably assemble and opposes any effort to unreasonably evict protesters based on unsupported claims of public safety, and, in light of last nights eviction calls on the City of Oakland to release the arrested, drop the charges, restore the occupation or otherwise reverse the silencing of the voice of the majority of Americans by providing continuous forum for this message and; Therefore be it further resolved, that Mayor Quan and the City Council are on the wrong side of history. It is clear that what occurred in Snow Park and Frank Ogawa Plaza this morning is nothing but silencing the voices and stomping out the rights of Americans. Participants of Occupy Wall Street are now in their ninth week of declaring that we are the 99% because our system is desperately, decisively out of whackthe top 1% is pocketing massive profits and dominating our politics while everyone else struggles to make ends meet. It is shocking that Mayor Quan and the City Council feel that this is a message that needs to be silenced. The Alameda Labor Council stands with Occupy Wall Street and the 99% of Americans just trying to level the massively unequal playing field. Therefore be it finally resolved , that the Alameda Labor Council supports the non-violent efforts of the protesters to seek a more democratic and equitable society and repeats the demand for an economy that works for all Americans. _______________________________________________________________________________

At a time when resources are stretched in Oakland it is shameful that City funds are expended to silence the voices of the people. The Alameda Labor Council stands with the 99% in supporting the right of the protesters to peaceably assemble. We oppose the eviction and call on the City of Oakland to release the arrested, drop the charges, restore the occupation or otherwise reverse this silencing of the voice of the majority of Americans.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything, but you were better off leaving the protesters where they were. They weren't hurting anyone, and now Oakland looks like destination one for protesters looking to fight. Police brutality, lies about tactics used on protesters, what else will we add to the disconnect between the left and the city? The right is already lining up to impeach the mayor--this will only give them support on the left. What would be great is if you would stop this. Adopt a progressive attitude about what is turning out to be a nationwide protest that may in fact have some impact. That would renew my faith in this city I love.

In Sri Lanka, Parenting Is the Most Important Part of Education

It's no wonder that parent engagement leads to significant improvement in student attendance and performance, and hence the general standard of education in the country.
Parent Engagement in Children's Education
52
October 6, 2011
The literal meaning of the Sinhalese term 'degurun' is: 'the two teachers'. It actually refers to the two parents of a child. The Sanskrit-derived 'poorwachareen' has the meaning 'the first teachers', and is also a term for 'parents'. The existence of these terms signifies the importance that our culture traditionally attaches to parents in the education of a child. Parental engagement in education is therefore nothing new to us. It's time we appreciated the value of this traditional wisdom. In developed countries, for example Australia and Canada, promoting parental participation in education is government policy. The Australian Capital Territory Department of Education published in September 2001 the educational policy known as the 'parents/carers as partners in schooling', which acknowledges "parents/carers as first educators of their children and their right to participate in their children's schooling". Another example from Australia is the Parental and Community Program which specifically aims to ensure parents' engagement with schools and education providers among the indigenous population. In Ontario, Canada, government funds schemes to involve parents in children's education. We in Sri Lanka are familiar with parents' protests, sit-ins, fasts, etc demanding redress for various anomalies in school education today. That kind of parental 'involvement' is different from what is meant here by 'engagement', as will be clear in the course of this essay. It is useful to reflect, however, that parent initiatives such as protests and fasts focusing on problems in education demonstrate an encouraging trend towards a growing awareness among parents about the importance of education, which can eventually lead to their 'engagement' in that all important activity (i.e. education). The idea of engaging themselves in the education of their children is likely to be difficult for many Sri Lankan parents to put into practice in view of other vital demands on their time and resources. Economic pressure is too much for one parent to sustain in most cases. And today, families where both parents work are the norm. In rural villages poverty drives a considerable number of unemployed or underemployed women out of the country to seek gainful employment mostly as housemaids in West Asian countries; a large number of men also work abroad for the same
53
reason. This is one main cause of there being more single-parent families in the country than ever before; another, of course, is the civil war that ended two years ago. Because of these and other constraints the concept of parental participation in education could sound unrealistic in our context. But we can't wait until conditions are perfect for a useful proposition to be discussed and practically implemented wherever possible under the prevailing circumstances. What education involves has undergone profound change in the course of time, though its essence hasn't: the central aim of education remains essentially the same, which is the training of the individual as a moral and useful member of the society. The educative process today is much more complex than in the past. Teaching has become a highly specialised skill, and learning involves the learner in collaborative social interaction as well as autonomous creative endeavour. But the role of parents as the primary educators of the young hasn't diminished in any way. Rather, it looks as if parents have got to play a more involved part in the education of their children in the present time than before. Sixty-five years of free education means that the least educated parent today has passed Grade Five, and is quite conversant with what happens in a school and what learning involves. They are quite competent to play the educative role expected of them. In fact, they need not be very highly educated to be able to guide their school-going children. They have the highest qualification to do that job: love for their offspring. That is the most vital factor that has no substitute. Parent engagement in education occurs at two levels: home and school. Home is where children start picking up moral values. The common saying "Charity begins at home" usually means, as everyone knows, that we should be kind and generous to our own family before we offer to treat others with kindness and generosity. But the saying can also be interpreted to mean that the foundation for a charitable society is laid at home in the sense that children learn to be loving and caring towards others from their parents and older siblings at home. Parents teach children good moral conduct by setting an example, not through coercive preaching. We live in a secular democracy. Our society is multiethnic, multilingual, and multicultural. We need to inculcate in our children values that will enable them to live with their neighbours in peace and harmony despite differences. It should be demonstrated that it is not wrong to be different, and that diversity is not something to fear or worry about. Language and religion have been divisive factors in our society to some extent. Mutual respect between people speaking different languages, and following different religions is essential for overcoming these divisions. The Trilingual programme that is being inaugurated is in response to the popular perception that a knowledge of English, Sinhalese, and Tamil will contribute to national integration. Parents can do a great deal to make this plan a success. They must also show that all religions teach moral values, which are compatible with each other, and highlight the principle of tolerance that is advocated in them. It is essential for parents to be aware of the moral values taught in the school. There shouldn't be any contradiction between those values and what the children are exposed to at home, for value education is best achieved as a joint responsibility of parents and school. At home, parents can play a direct role in helping children in their school education by finding time to be with them while they do their homework. This shouldn't be a haphazard activity. First, a regular time every day needs to be set aside for study, say one, one and a half, or two hours, etc with beginning and ending times fixed beforehand as suitable depending on convenience and circumstances. A quiet peaceful environment that helps concentration is an essential condition. Some parents, exhausted after a hard day's work, try to get the best of both worlds by lazing before a TV in one corner of the sitting room while having children do their homework in another corner. This is no way to get engaged in educating them. Children, being children, easily lose interest in what adults consider to be most important. They sometimes feel that schoolwork is best forgotten. Homework is an additional burden that they have to carry. Parents should ease this burden not by doing the homework for the children, but by
54
turning it into an opportunity to show off the skills acquired at school. It is good to get them to talk about what they did at school, and about what they learnt. Although the information that students are required to know may be new and beyond the grasp of their parents, the latter can occasionally demand to have it explained to them. This is a good strategy to get children to tackle problems they encounter in studies by themselves. Parents should encourage children to learn by themselves. A good way to do this is to show appreciation of their efforts in that direction by rewarding them appropriately. For example, parents can promise to buy them a computer and an internet connection (or if they already have these, some other reward) if they agree to save money for the purpose by cutting down on private tuition. Parents should, within their means, supply supplementary materials like books, magazines, journals, newspapers, etc that are relevant for their studies, and get them to use these at home. There are a number of ways in which parents could play a role in education at the school level. Meeting with the teachers individually on a regular basis to discuss children's progress and problems is one of these. The knowledge that parents are keeping tabs on their children's performance at school makes teachers feel more responsible towards their charges, and to have better control over them. Familiarity with a child's home background enables a teacher to individualise their approach in classroom teaching. This parent-teacher communication causes children to be extra alert in their studies as well as general conduct. Educational tours, field trips, charity events etc organized by schools afford parents a good opportunity for voluntary participation. Not all parents can engage in such events all the time. Representative groups of parents should take turns as proper. While providing guidance and protection they need to respect the children's autonomy and initiative in organizing and executing the relevant activities where they are old enough to do so. Parents can engage themselves in school education as members of Parent Teacher Associations. They can also serve on school committees, councils, boards etc. Given the fact that a modern knowledge society is emerging where parents are more techno-savvy than today, we may reasonably expect parent engagement in education to be enhanced in the near future through the use of modern communications technologies in the form of institution based websites, homepages, videos, newsletters, calendars, etc which will enable close communication between parents, educators and students. These electronic tools will help parents to access, whenever necessary, information about the attendance, performance, grades, etc of their children; it will also keep parents informed of special educational events, celebrations, trips, etc so that they could participate in them. Parent engagement goes beyond mere involvement in the affairs of a school: it consists in parental participation in a tripartite partnership (i.e. between parents, students, and teachers) focussed on an active process of education. Naturally, parent engagement supports useful communication between children, parents, and teachers; healthy interaction between these three groups is vital for education. Engaged parents prove to be valuable resources for experience, expertise, knowledge, and skills. The collaboration between parents and educators that parent engagement achieves can be used to promote the understanding of diverse cultural values and languages, and social integration in our multiethnic society. Since engaged parents are aware of what usually goes on in a classroom, and how students learn they can make a valuable contribution to the success of school activities. They also support students at home. It's no wonder that parent engagement leads to significant improvement in student attendance and performance, and hence the general standard of education in the country.
Even the best educated in America have trouble competing with the mediocre of
55
developed and developing countries around the world.

When the Best is Mediocre

Developed countries far outperform our most affluent suburbs
By Jay P. Greene and Josh B. McGee
Winter 2012 / Vol. 12, No. 1 (This article is excerpted and is not the complete article. Click Here to view complete article) American education has problems, almost everyone is willing to concede, but many think those problems are mostly concentrated in our large urban school districts. In the elite suburbs, where wealthy and politically influential people tend to live, the schools are assumed to be world-class. Unfortunately, what everyone knows is wrong. Even the most elite suburban school districts often produce results that are mediocre when compared with those of our international peers. Our best school districts may look excellent alongside large urban districts, the comparison state accountability systems encourage, but that measure provides false comfort. America's elite suburban students are increasingly competing with students outside the United States for economic opportunities, and a meaningful assessment of student achievement requires a global, not a local, comparison. We developed the Global Report Card (GRC) to facilitate such a comparison. The GRC enables users to compare academic achievement in math and reading between 2004 and 2007 for virtually every public school district in the United States with the average achievement in a set of 25 other countries with developed economies that might be considered our economic peers and sometime competitors. The main results are reported as percentiles of a distribution, which indicates how the average student in a district performs relative to students throughout the advanced industrialized world. A percentile of 60 means that the average student in a district is achieving better than 59.9 percent of the students in our global comparison group. (Readers can find all of the results of the Global Report Card at http://globalreportcard.org. The web site contains a full description of the method by which we calculated the results. For a summary, see the methodology sidebar.) For the purposes of this article, we focus on the 2007 math results, although the GRC contains information for both math and reading between 2004 and 2007. We focus on 2007 because it is the most recent data set, and we focus on math because it is the subject that provides the best comparison across countries and is most closely correlated with economic growth. Readers should feel free to consult the GRC web site to find reading results as well as results for other years. Results from Affluent Suburbs Nationwide Affluent suburban districts may be outperforming their large urban neighbors, but they fail to achieve near the top of international comparisons (see Figure 1). White Plains, New York, in suburban Westchester County, is only at the 39th percentile in math relative to our global
56
comparison group. Grosse Point, Michigan, outside of Detroit, is at the 56th percentile. Evanston, Illinois, the home of Northwestern University outside of Chicago, is at the 48th percentile in math. The average student in Montgomery County, Maryland, where many of the national government leaders send their children to school, is at the 50th percentile in math relative to students in other developed countries. The average student in Fairfax, Virginia, another suburban refuge for government leaders, is at the 49th percentile. Shaker Heights, Ohio, outside of Cleveland, is at the 50th percentile in math. The average student in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, is at the 66th percentile. Ladue, Missouri, a wealthy suburb of St. Louis, is at the 62nd percentile. And the average student in Plano, Texas, near Dallas, is at the 64th percentile in math relative to our global comparison group. All of these communities are among the wealthiest in the United States. All are overwhelmingly white in their population. All of them are thought of as refuges from the dysfunction of our public school system. But the sad reality is that in none of them is the average student in the upper third of math achievement relative to students in other developed countries. Most of them are barely keeping pace with the average student in other developed countries, despite the fact that the comparison is to all students in the other countries, some of which have a per-capita gross domestic product that is almost half that of the United States. In short, many of what we imagine as our best school districts are mediocre compared with the education systems serving students in other developed countries.
57
Pockets of Excellence While many affluent suburban districts have lower achievement than we might expect, some districts are producing very high achievement even when compared with that of students in other
58
developed countries. For example, the average student in the Pelham school district in Massachusetts is at the 95th percentile in math. That means that if we were to relocate Pelham to another developed country in our comparison group, the average student in Pelham would outperform 95 percent of the students in math. That's very impressive. Of course, Pelham is a small district that is home to Amherst College, among other institutions of higher learning, and serves a rather select group of students. But not all college-town school districts are equally high achieving. As we have already seen, Evanston, Illinois, is at the 48th percentile in math in a global comparison. Palo Alto, California, the home of Stanford University, is at the 64th percentile. And the average student in Ann Arbor, Michigan, home to the University of Michigan, is at the 58th percentile in math relative to students in other developed countries. So, the 95th percentile math achievement in Pelham is outstanding, even for college towns. Spring Lake, New Jersey, has a similarly impressive record of having the average student at the 91st percentile in math. It is a very small and affluent community on the New Jersey shore that has somehow escaped the influence of Snooki and The Situation. Waconda, Kansas, a small rural community, also is at the 91st percentile. Highland Park, Texas, an affluent community near Dallas, is at the 88th percentile. Interestingly, of the top 20 U.S. public-school districts in math achievement, 7 are charter schools (some states treat charter schools as separate public-school districts). And most of the 13 traditional districts remaining are in rural communities rather than in a large suburban "refuge" from urban education ills. Pools of Failure In total, only 820 of the 13,636 public-school districts for which we have 2007 math results had average student achievement that would be among the top third of student performance in other developed countries. That is, 94 percent of all U.S. school districts have average math achievement below the 67th percentile. There aren't that many truly excellent districts out there. Of the 13,636 districts, 9,339, or 68 percent, have average student math achievement that is below the 50th percentile compared with that of the average student in other developed countries. Most of our large school districts are well below the 50th percentile. This is especially alarming, because these lower-performing large districts comprise a much greater share of the total student population than do the relatively small higher-performing districts. The average student in the Washington, D.C., school district is at the 11th percentile in math relative to students in other developed countries. In Detroit, the average student is at the 12th percentile. In Milwaukee, the average student is at the 16th percentile. Cleveland is at the 18th percentile. The average student in Baltimore is at the 19th percentile in math relative to students in other developed countries. In Los Angeles, the average student is at the 20th percentile. The average student in Chicago is at the 21st percentile in math. Atlanta is at the 23rd percentile. The average student in New York City is at the 32nd percentile in math. And in Miami-Dade County, the average student is at the 33rd percentile in math. Not 1 of the largest 20 school districts is above the 50th percentile in math relative to other developed countries. Those districts contain almost 5.2 million students or more than 10 percent of the country's schoolchildren. The rare and small pockets of excellence in charter schools and rural communities are overwhelmed by large pools of failure. No Refuge The elites, the wealthy families that have a disproportionate influence on politics, clearly recognize the dysfunction of large urban school districts and have sought refuge in affluent suburban districts for their own children. But the reality is that there are relatively few pockets of excellence to which these families can flee.
59
In four states, there is not a single traditional district with average student achievement above the 50th percentile in math. In 17 states, there is not a single traditional district with average achievement in the upper third relative to our global comparison group. And apart from charter school districts, in over half of the states, there are no more than three traditional districts in which the average achievement would be in the upper third. The elites in those states have almost nowhere to find an excellent public education for their children. But state accountability systems and the desire to rationalize the lack of quality options have encouraged the elites to compare their affluent suburban districts to the large urban ones in their state. These inappropriate comparisons have falsely reassured them that their own school districts are doing well. This false reassurance has also perhaps undermined the desire among the elites to engage in dramatic education reform. As long as the elites hold onto the belief that their own school districts are excellent, they have little desire to push for the kind of significant systemic reforms that might improve their districts as well as the large urban districts. They may wish the urban districts well and hope matters improve, but their taste for bold reform is limited by a false contentment with their own situation. But the elites should not take comfort from the stronger performance of affluent suburban districts relative to large urban districts. As the Global Report Card reveals, even our best public-school districts are mediocre when compared with the achievement of students in a set of countries with developed economies. Of course, the Global Report Card does not isolate the extent to which schools add or detract from student performance. Factors from student backgrounds, including their parents, communities, and individual characteristics, have a strong influence on achievement. But the GRC does tell us about the end result for student achievement of all of these factors, schools included. And that end result, even in our best districts, is generally disappointing. Jay P.

Free parenting classes trial to run in England

October 16, 2011 Free parenting classes are to be trialled for all parents with children aged five and under in three areas of England, children's minister Sarah Teather has said. They are intended for parents even if they are not struggling with raising children, she said. About 50,000 parents in Middlesbrough, High Peak, and Camden will be offered vouchers for the classes from mid-2012. Labour criticised the government cuts to the children's programme it set up. 'Firm and fair' The classes, provided by parenting experts, are likely to cover areas such as communication and listening skills, managing conflict and "strengthening positive relationships in the family", as well as the importance of parents working as a team. There will also be a stress on discipline, with "firm, fair and consistent approaches" encouraged and the importance of "boundaries" being set out for children. And there will be advice on appropriate play for children's age and development. Children's minister Ms Teather said she wanted to get rid of the stigma over asking for help.
61
"Parenting classes aren't just for struggling families," she said. "All parents should know it's OK to ask for extra support and guidance when they need it - just as they do when they attend ante-natal classes before their child is born." The trial will run for two years, with its impact tracked, the department said. It is hoped the results will lead a greater number of parents to seek help and advice themselves. The government says it is still working on the details but it is likely that the vouchers will be distributed through various routes. It was unknown if health visitors, GP staff or nursery workers would be involved. Ms Teather added that there was overwhelming evidence that a child's development in the first five years' of their life is the single biggest factor influencing their future life chances, health and education attainment. "Armed with all this evidence, it is the government's moral and social duty to make sure we support all parents at this critical time. "Parenting has to be one of the toughest jobs and it doesn't come with a rule book." 'Out of touch' Shadow children's minister Sharon Hodgson criticised the coalition's policy towards Sure Start a children's centre network established by Labour in the late 1990s to give more deprived children a better chance in life. Some of the 3,600 Sure Start children's centres are being cut because the grant that funds them was cut by 11% in last year's emergency budget, and again in the comprehensive spending review by almost the same percentage. The government also removed the protection from the Sure Start budget, leaving them potentially at risk as councils seek to make up losses to their central government grants overall. Ms Hodgson said: "Labour is in favour of support for families and children, but the Tory-led government is completely out of touch if they think this is going to make up for the Sure Start centres that are being closed or hollowed out up and down the country... "This government's reckless cuts programme is kicking away the ladders for the next generation and the closure of Sure Start centres is just another example of this." Ed Owen, editor of fatherhood website www.daddybegood.com, said: "Every teacher, psychologist and educationalist will tell you that the first years of a child's life are important. "Some suggest that the first two years are decisive. This does not mean that every child must be schooled, drilled and disciplined to make them model citizens at this young age. No, it means that in the first years children must be loved." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is Marriage for White People?

presents
Ralph Richard Banks

Author of
Is Marriage for White People?

How the African American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone
This is a conversation with
Steve Edwards of Chicago Public Radio

on
Thursday, October 27, 2011 - 7:00 pm The Experimental Station 6100 S. Blackstone (1500 east) Chicago, Illinois

The Invisible Institute is pleased to present Ralph Richard Banks in a public conversation about his book Is Marriage for White People? How the African American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone. Is Marriage for White People? promises to spark a robust national conversation about race and relationships. Banks explores the broad economic and cultural developments that have resulted in a society-wide decline in marriage--a decline that is most extreme among African Americans. Weaving together scholarly research with personal stories of women throughout the nation, he advances the challenging thesis that interracial marriage is the best hope for increasing marriage within the African American community. Although black women confront the smallest pool of viable partners due to the myriad struggles of black men, they rarely marry men of other races. As Banks sees it, black women would not only benefit themselves by being willing to marry a man of a different race, but would also bolster marriage among African American couples. Although often portrayed as abandonment of the race, interracial marriage by black women, he argues, in fact serves the race. For a taste of the public discussion--and controversy--prompted by Banks' thesis, check out the media page on the book's web site. Ralph Richard Banks is the Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law at Stanford Law School. Praise for Is Marriage for White People? "Fascinating--and very brave! Banks stays up close and personal as he surveys the brambly landscape of marriage prospects for accomplished African American women bringing into view rarely seen prides, longings, prejudices, and unexpected choices. Banks' probing examination makes a gripping read." - Nancy Cott, Harvard University "This brilliant and provocative book tells stories we all need to hear." - Susan Fiske, Princeton University "Learned and unflinching, careful but provocative. Banks unabashedly explores the most volatile racial issues. Sure to provoke fierce debate." - Randall Kennedy, Harvard Law School
We hope you will join us on October 27th for what promises to be an intense and fascinating conversation. The Invisible Institute is a program of the Experimental Station.

Black Men Across America Organize National Strategic Planning Summits for Black Male Achievement
Fathers Incorporated and The Black Star Project Help Coordinate 25 Cities to Improve the Plight of Black Males in America
Under the inspiration of Muhammad Ali's "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee; Rumble Young Man Rumble" rallying cry, major urban cities will strategize to address issues of Black Male achievement in their own communities on November 12th. "We spend an awful amount of time laboring over the sobering and tragic statistics facing black males," says Kenneth Braswell, Executive Director of Fathers Incorporated. "As black men, we are way overdue to do something about it and to stop just talking about and waiting for someone to rescue us." "We are the leaders, we've been waiting for," says Shawn Dove, Campaign Manager for the Campaign for Black Male Achievement at the Open Society Foundations. Major urban cities across the nation are far from claiming victory for Black Male achievement. Double digit unemployment rates, incarceration, health disparities, low educational obtainment figures and violence are just a short list of items yet to be addressed for this population of men. Even as America's frustration with the economics of our country continue to bubble under, movements like the Tea Party,
67
Occupy Wall Street and other activities to address poverty are still leaving black males behind. In Louisville, Kentucky last month the Open Society Foundations hosted over 75 leaders from around the country who gathered to address how they would mobilize efforts using the spirit of the Muhammad Ali center and his legacy of principles. Muhammad Ali was quoted to say, "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." It is that sentiment that has inspired this recent urgency of work. "Much of why this work is so critical can be seen right here in Chicago where more Black children died in Chicago from gunfire in 2008 than Chicago soldiers died in Iraq," says Phillip Jackson, President of The Black Star Project. In addition to high levels of violence, 50 % of all Black men between the ages of 16 and 64 years old are jobless. "These numbers are devastating our families and destroying our communities; and not unique to just Chicago," continues Jackson. In addition to the day of planning; there will be a 10-city role call via video conference to introduce, share information and explore solutions with the 25 men from each city. Afterward a report will be compiled in order to capsulate strategies that will address the multi issues facing the nations Black Males. THE FOLLOWING CITIES HAVE SIGNED ON SO FAR: 1) Albany, New York, 2) Atlanta, Georgia, 3) Baltimore, Maryland, 4) Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 5) Chicago, Illinois, 6) Cincinnati, Ohio, 7) Jackson, Mississippi, 8) Louisville, Kentucky, 9) Los Angeles, California, 10) Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 11) Newark, New Jersey, 12) New York City, New York, 13) Omaha, Nebraska; 14) Peoria, Illinois; 14) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 15) Phoenix, Arizona, 16) San Bernardino, California and 17) Washington, D.C. We are encouraging your city to participate in addressing issues affecting Black Males in your community. For information on how your city can be involved in this national campaign and receive a organizing kit; please call 773.285.9600 or email The Black Star Project at blackstar1000@ameritch.net.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Because what the Oakland Police has done & are doing to these protestors is a violation of the U.S. Constitution -- it is FACISM! And I want you toknow that the WORLD is watching you!!

Thanks Libby for your response and hopefully work to make the City, once again, a positive place for all of us who believe in change and focusing on the real problems of our country -- the Wall St. abuses and all the social problems created by unemployment, underemployment, lack of healthcare, education and service cutbacks are unprecedented. I/we are especially angered at the way the city handled this. Questions: 1. Posting notices may be necessary but is also bureaucratic. Who was meeting with the group? What alternatives did the city offer? How could the city/mayor/city manager/city council worked with everyone to make Oakland a model for community involvement and protest against corporate forces that are hurting us all. After deadlines came and went why would anyone take a deadline seriously? Where was the Mayor and the call for community leadership to be involved like in other situations she has involved herself in?
Why isn't the City Council more involved in this -- the "occupy" folks and city residents are all constituents of yours and other city council members. Oakland again is receiving NATIONAL bad publicity over this. Doesn't anyone care. It's really clear that in virtually every grassroots movement repression and police action usually escalates and strengthens the demonstrations. The City/Mayor/Police/City Manager need to take responsibility for making this worse and offer a place for the group to stay and ways for the group to be constructively involved with the city.... thanks, Susan

Your pushing the boundaries of power and the people will not stand by and watch you take armed action against these young people. As a voter, a tax payer and a citizen I urge you to change tactics dramatically. Was there an alternate site proposed to the protest so the area could be cleaned up? The issue of it being cleaned up was the only reason I have heard for the need to evict. It seems to me that a less forcefull police action could be pursued instaed of this horrible outrage!! I disagree with your approach and certainly will not vote for you in any future campaign,

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I'm signing because I am the 99%, I spent the day at Occupy S.F. yesterday and was hearing about what had happened in Oakland.

Dear Ms. Quan, The protestors arrested in the process of clearing out the park need to be cited and released now. They did nothing wrong and have jobs to keep and children to support. Your actions, and that of the police, are drawing the attention of the entire nation. You will be remembered - the only question is how. It's up to you to do what's right and end the shameful abuse of power that's being used against completely peaceful citizens who are exercising their right to be in public space and express their opinions. Protestors are being blamed for trashing the park, despite the fact it's the police who have really trashed it since the forceful eviction of the group. This violent opposition to a peaceful protest represents a huge waste of resources and abuse of power. Thank you for your consideration and prompt, firm action.

Hi, Rejoyce: The news last night said that Interim Chief Batts was in charge at that time. Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuentes and someone who looked like Council President Larry Reid stood next to him at a press conference. Mayor Quan was in Washington, D.C. trying to get funding for Oakland (I think for the Port) at the time. It appears the lice were in the mattresses and bedding strewn at the FO/OG Plaza. Vector Control was cleaning up the area so the public can go back there. I walk around Downtown a lot and it's no fun encountering human or animal poop as well as the smell of urine on the sidewalks. I think there should have been more portable potty houses provided for that large number of campers and I agree the violence was totally unacceptable.

I've lived in the Bay Area for 30 years & raised five children here. They are educated & I hope, aware of the world around them. It was EXTREMELY DISTURBING to watch videos of your police gassing OWS sympathetic protesters, while your city continues to be the scourge of the Bay Area. As an older woman, I've been afraid to go there, even to go through Oakland to visit my closest friend, who lived in Alameda. Is THIS what you want the country to see? You lay off police (I knew one of them) while you have the highest # of murder, rape & aggravated assaults in the Bay Area? Why in the world are you making Oakland's reputation even worse? Do you not think a Children's Hospital with a gunshot ward isn't bad enough? If you don't have any better ideas, why don't you just resign?

From: Sent: To: Subject: mariah anger [mariah.anger@gmail.com] Wednesday, October 26, 2011 12:08 PM jeanquan4@gmail.com This is totally not about the Occupy Oakland eviction press release.
Hello Ms. Quan, First I would like to provide you with the Merriam-Webster definition of peaceful. This is for your own benefit as your press release regarding the eviction of Occupy Oakland leads me to believe that you do not understand the meaning of the words you are using.
Definition of PEACEFUL 1 : peaceable 2 : untroubled by conflict, agitation, or commotion : quiet, tranquil 3 : of or relating to a state or time of peace 4 : devoid of violence or force peacefully adverb peacefulness noun Examples of PEACEFUL
1. The park is so peaceful and quiet. 2. They settled the conflict by peaceful means. 3. We need to find a peaceful alternative to war. Adding the qualifier word of "mostly" before the word "peaceful" doesn't come close to describing these events accurately. The actions of the Oakland Police Department, under instruction from you, were not anywhere near peaceful. If anything their actions and your commending their actions makes it very clear that the message of the Occupy movement is hitting the proverbial nail on the head. The violent reaction to this movement tells us that we are on the right path to destroying the corrupt racket that colluding politicians like you have built for yourselves. Please have your police department keep violently attacking the people you are supposed to be representing. Every rubber bullet fired and every canister of tear gas thrown is just further evidence for us that you are not on the side of the people. Please continue to expose yourself as a pathetic pawn of the wealthy DemocratRepublican regime currently destroying our democracy. Your days as the Mayor of Oakland are numbered and I'm pretty sure, that by now, you know this to be true. The continued use of violence against unarmed peaceful protesters is all the evidence we need to know the truth. You fear the change this movement is bringing to the point of commending the use of violence against the people you are supposed to represent, that you are supposed to protect. The curtain has been pulled aside and now the whole world can see what a useful puppet you are for the wealthy corporations to whom you prostitute yourself. Ms. Quan, I hope you waste a lot of your own money and the money of your corporate owners on your reelection campaign. I doubt you will have the support of the people of Oakland to win another term. You and the Oakland Police Department don't deserve anything but condemnation and denigration. That is all
108
that has been earned. The whole world is watching. Sincerely, Mariah Anger Austin, Texas

By attending this in-depth seminar, you will learn fresh, practical strategies for the myriad and ever-changing stormwater permitting processes in the Southern California region. You will get a pertinent status report on the new industrial stormwater permit, as well as a detailed update on the general construction permit. Both traditional large-system and non-traditional small- system municipal permits will be addressed. Executives from the Water Resources Control Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Board will outline the state regulatory policy for development and have a collaborative panel discussion on permitting where questions can be raised and answered. An EPA and a private practitioner will address the policy creation process within Region IX so attendees can experience different approaches towards the same end. Prepare now to reply to enforcement actions with our distinguished panel of experienced practitioners representing clients in front of state, regional and local agencies in California. Join our forum of attorneys, governmental officials, real estate and environmental professionals, consultants and planners for a very focused day on stormwater and its critical issues.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. What you did should be considered treason. You are fighting patriots.

Fall is in the air and welcoming change is always the invitation. That truism is a fact of life and more true than ever for all of us closely associated with the California Department of Corrections. Margaret Wheatley, an internationally acclaimed speaker and writer, reminds us that "everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole." This truism guides us here at IPP in our day to day work with men on the inside and in our day to day work with the systems in which we interact. We hope you will be inspired by our actions to gain a sense of the whole as highlighted below. Jennie K. Curits Interim Executive Director

Volunteer Spotlight Learning Assessment Committee (LAC)

During the 2010/11 FY Insight Prison Project formed an interdisciplinary assessment committee to act in an advisory capacity regarding assessment of program effectiveness by supporting assessment of learning outcomes in our classes. The members of the LAC are: IPP staff liaison (Jaimee Karroll) Prisoner rights attorney and a full time graduate student in social psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz (Tom Nolan) College faculty (Lynn Cooper, Professor Emeritus, and Teiahsha Bankhead, Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director in the Division of Social Work at Sacramento State University) Graduate of the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley (Becky Lo Dolce, criminal justice policy analyst, currently a Senior Administrative Analyst at San Francisco Adult Probation) Doctoral Student in Clinical Psychology at Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology (Kathryn Langley)
130
The Committee has been engaged in discussion and reflection about the challenges of evaluating learning in a prison setting and has supported the revision of course learning outcomes (based on Blooms Taxonomy of Learning) so that they are measureable. The implementation of pre- and post-learning assessment in some core classes has positioned IPP to better understand course-related outcomes and program effectiveness. Committee members also spent time syncing our course learning objectives to the CDCR logic model. IPP is indebted and forever grateful to our exceptional LAC members for their generous 4-8 hours of service per month for the past two years! We would not be who we are without your continued support!!

Jenny's View There's something about this time of year, no matter how balmy the days may be, that draws my thoughts to curling up in front of a roaring fire, sleeping late, and the suddenly irresistible attraction of good food. It's a Good Time to... Explore the great indoors! If the weather turns winterish, it's nice to know that there's always something to do inside. While Santa Fe in summer looks to outdoor festivals, starting this month the calendar focuses on multiple ways to satisfy the senses. Spotlight on Giving Kids are naturally drawn to the hands-on experience of cooking, which does more than give them a practical skill it equips them to make healthy choices as adults. That's the idea behind an innovative program in Santa Fe public schools. Friends of La Fonda La Fonda is the perfect place to find one-of-a-kind Santa Fe treasures, right inside the hotel. Each month we'll look at some special offerings at a few of our shops. Sneak a peek into Photogenesis Gallery and Rocki Gorman! Live at La Fonda Everyone loves a band that lets them rock out to old favorites and Curry, Springer, and Primm play those very tunes. Whether it's oldies from Journey and Tom Petty, something contemporary from John Mayer, or their original songs, this trio of veteran players covers some less common musical ground. If Walls Could Speak Their impeccable dining rooms would be among the most talked-about features of hotels on the Santa Fe railway line, thanks to the genius of tourism entrepreneur Fred Harvey. No rowdy roadhouses, Harvey restaurants, like La Fonda's, aimed to compete with the best in Europe.

From: Sent: To: Subject: Alice Handley [alice.handley@gmail.com] Wednesday, October 26, 2011 1:22 PM Quan, Jean Regarding the Occupy Oakland protests
Dear Ms. QuanLike so many others, I'm sure, I'm writing to you to express my profound disapproval of the actions of the Oakland Police Department (and other police departments) yesterday and last night at the Occupy Oakland protests and also with your statement regarding those events. If the desire to maintain "safe or sanitary conditions" in Oakland merits riot police with tear gas and rubber bullets, I can only assume they will soon be deployed in the bathrooms in Mosswood Park, the parking lot at the MacArthur BART station, and many, many other locations around our city. Since I suspect that will not be the case, I find it difficult to believe that riot police were necessary in Ogawa Plaza. Furthermore, I take grave issue with your statement thanking "the police, fire, public works and other employees who worked over the last week to peacefully close the encampment." Peacefully, Ms. Quan? Peacefully? How can you possibly use that word to describe a deplorable scene such as this one? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8851218/Veteran-injured-by-police-at-OccupyOakland.html I'm sure I'm not the only Oakland resident to be deeply ashamed that our city is being associated all over the world with appalling shows of police brutality. Oakland deserves better than that. Protests are difficult situations requiring tact, diplomacy, and clear communication between the people protesting and law enforcement agencies under extremely tense circumstances. I understand you and the city government and the Oakland Police Department had some hard choices to make, but resorting to tactics better befitting a police state than a free democracy was misguided, counter-productive, and, above all, shameful.

Dear Deanna, I appreciate your keeping such a calm head during all this difficulty in deciding how to deal with Occupy Oakland. But given what transpired last night and the likelihood that the conflict is going to continue, and that it will continue to involve use of a lot of police resources, I believe this has become a policy issue that should be discussed with the members of the City Council. Ideally, this discussion would take place in Closed Session, but it is up to the City Attorney how much of that discussion can take place there. Certainly, the City is going to be sued by some of the people who were arrested, so some of this may come under the exception of potential litigation. Also, one of our possible alternatives for action, of letting the Occupy people set up a camp somewhere other than our Plaza, would involve potential liability to the City. I am copying Barbara Parker on this message so that she will know of my request and start considering the appropriateness of a Closed Session discussion. Thank you,

Mayor Quan and Ms. Santana Thank you very much for sharing information with City staff and the general public regarding activities around Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. I fully understand the challenges the City faces in maintaining Frank Ogawa Plaza as a true public space that welcomes and is shared by all. I would like to offer some seeds for ideas about how the City could help heal and bring the community together after a rather tense time: Restore and build on the larger communitys sense of ownership of the Plaza by organizing (or helping facilitate) a volunteer-based group to clean-up and spruce-up the Plaza, and perhaps at a later date, hold a design workshop to think of ideas about how to increase access and activity in the park (temporary art installations, temporary garden beds) After some time has passed, to provide a sense of closure and balance the sense of loss felt by those who participated and camped out at the Plaza, perhaps the City could engage their participation by calling for memorial submissions

I am signing because I am appalled by the violation of citizens' right to peacefully protest and the human rights violations committed by the Oakland PD. This is not Egypt, this is not Syria and this is not Libya; American citizens expect and deserve better treatment. Mayor Quan and the Oakland PD should be ashamed and should apologize immediately.

After protesters ran to the aid of a badly-injured [crumpled on the ground, motionless] person, Oakland Police deliberately lobbed a flash grenade into the crowd. [You can see it land just a few feet from the victim.] This was on CNN. - This was an Iraq war veteran named Scott Olsen. He did two tours in Iraq. - He was critically injured and is now in hospital with a fractured skull and brain swelling. Search Google for "Iraq veteran Oakland". "You got some 'splainin to do."

The problem, as I see it, is that City officials are getting their information second hand. I have been to the Occupy Oakland site and it was nothing like the horrible pictures that have been painted of it. There were issues, of course, as there always will be among a group of people, but they were working on them and had made an effort to comply with all of the city directives EXCEPT to leave or to give up their right to Free Speech. In any case, what I have seen of the police response on video and photographs, it was a complete overreaction. Not only that but it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, cause complete disruption of the downtown area (rerouting busses, closing down businesses, keeping people from going to work), injured people (I don't consider paint on a uniform an injury although the police claim it is). One person, an ex-Marine who did 2 tours of duty, is in critical condition. The structure put up by a local synagoge was destroyed when the police went through the camp terring up signs, slitting tents and generally causing mayhem and making a mess out of what had been there. All this because the City can't be bothered to work out problems with a peaceful group? Pleeeeaze! What a waste of our tax dollars and what stain on Oakland's reputation.

There was a man (who I suspect is the one who was reported in the Trib as threatening people with knives, forks, chokeholds) who was yelling at people 2 inches from their faces. He was going around the camp like this berating different people. There were children 2 feet away from him and more children running all around. There were "anarchists" with bandanas over their faces, dogs walking around off leash, people smoking weed....and poetry reading.

Good afternoon, Jean. I am very disturbed at the way you and the interim chief have handled matters since Day One of the OccupyOakland demonstration. You all had opportunities over the last weeks to use peaceful means to obviate the horrendous events of yesterday; you did not take them. Our City government should have been there on October 10th, the first day we demonstrated. (That's when I saw the first tent stakes being driven into the lawn of the park.) City employees could and should have been present as the demonstration ended that evening and the "occupiers" moved onto the park land. I can only assume they were not there because no one in your office had been thinking about what the City should do when OccupyOakland demonstrators actually occupied something. How dreadfully unfortunate no one thought ahead. City employees could have engaged those who intended to begin to camp out. Later, City employees could have helped the good-hearted majority of demonstrators maintain the peace, rule-of-law, and sanitation for the encampment. In the days that you allowed the encampment to continue, you could have been proactive and provided such things as portable toilets and safety/security in front of City Hall or even at another nearby location; you all could have used smart, soft power, but you did not. In terms of providing real, constructive, make-a-difference leadership, you have been MIA. You dithered, delayed, and equivocated. You sent the police to monitor the occupation instead of City staff. Your actions and inaction helped establish and foster the antagonistic relationship between the City and the demonstrators. Then only visible leadership I saw from you regarding OccupyOakland was speaking at the OccupyOakland rally at Laney after your violence conference and then marching to Ogawa Plaza with us to rally at the site of the encampment. How can you march and rally in support of OccupyOakland one week, and gas it the next? Instead of acting in such a confusing and inconsistent manner, you could have done all of us a service by not allowing the tents and encampment to remain that first night; but you did allow itbefore you didnt allow it! Tragically, your lack of forethought and subsequent stumbling miscalculations resulted yesterday in your ordering OPD to fall back on its traditional, tried-and-failed tactics of brute force, clumsiness, stupidity, and overkill. Not only did the citizens there not deserve to be treated in such a violent and callous way, but you have now, once again, opened us up as a city to more lawsuits by victims of the brutality. Your lack of foresightful action early on and your disastrous decisions of October 25th have also reinforced the image of our city as a violent and dangerous place with incompetent leadership where ineptness reigns and critical problem solving skills seem to be non-existent. This is yet another crisis for our city, and you and our other elected city officials are failing us. Where are youour strong mayor governance model mayor? Sending out the police in riot uniforms with stun grenades and tear gas is not leadership; it is a cowardly, hunker-down, strategy unworthy of we citizens who elected you to represent us. Why as a Council member was it a good idea to stand between the Oscar Grant demonstrators and the riot police then but not during the initial raid at Ogawa Plaza yesterday morning or last evening at 14th and Broadway? Where were you? You and Council need to work together to come up with a sensible, soft-power strategy that provides a way forward without subjecting either our citizens or our police department to more injuries nor depleting precious financial resources that we can ill-afford to be spending on OPD overtime, compensation to all the law-enforcement agencies' forces you have brought in from surrounding areas, and the myriad of city workers involved in cleaning up the mess your police actions precipitated. How about this instead? 1. Meet and negotiate with OccupyOakland for a mutually agreeable, downtown venue and "rules-for-occupying" that will allow citizens to maintain a presence at a mutually-agreeable location in downtown Oakland. 2. Provide OPD protection/oversight to support those citizens who wish to assemble/occupy peaceably, law-abidingly, and healthfully.
169
3. Make it clear by Council Resolution and City actions that Oakland supports peaceful demonstrations and even occupations with which the elected officials, by majority, agree. (This would marginalize the anarchists and criminals who delight in taking advantage of these situations for their own purposes and discredit those of us who wish to demonstrate peaceably, lawfully, and safely.) Without these or similar steps being taken THIS WEEK, I will consider you to be a failed leader who is unworthy of any further support. I also strongly urge all Council members to work with you or take the lead themselves in establishing and maintaining authentic dialogue with OccupyOakland demonstrators. We must now show ourselves, and the entire world that is watching us, that we are a smart and progressive city and not a city that is coming apart at its seams. You must demonstrate immediately that you can learn from the mistakes you have made over these last weeks. You as mayor and we as citizens, we all must be and show ourselves to be a city where reason, fairness, and non-violence rule and guide us forward. Sincerely, Danny Cieloha

Even after I came back from Iraq and saw the recession I kept faith but as I started to educate myself and started going to college and realized .. ..

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Hi Mayor Quan, Thanks to your efforts, a marine who served two tours in Iraq is in critical condition and about to enter surgery due to your "peaceful" orders of eviction that you spent 5 days planning with the Oakland PD. You should resign immediately, so a more "peaceful" mayor can govern in your place. By the way, the First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech and free assembly in daytime AND nighttime hours. Here's a little bit more about it, so you can get familiar. I'd suggest sharing a copy of it with the Oakland PD as well, so they're clear on how to deal with nonviolent protesters. http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/First_amendment By the way, your phone number is all over the internet.

You should be humiliated and immensely ashamed of yourself and your team. You've let the country down and may you never forgive yourself for what you have now caused. Nick Narciso

"An Iraq war veteran has a fractured skull and brain swelling after allegedly being hit by a police projectile. Scott Olsen is in a "critical condition" in Highland hospital in Oakland, a hospital spokesman confirmed." Nice job, maybe you could bloody up some old ladies next time, or possibly send a Medal of Homor winner to the hospital. Not exactly a PR coup for the Oakland PD, especially compared to:
"Albany Police and Troopers Refuse to Arrest Occupiers"

Dick Patterson PS - if you use rubber bullets (or shot), and leave identifiable rubber-bullet debris behind, probably best not to claim you didn't use them. Did you learn nothing from the $11 million you had to pay out a decade ago?

So sorry about that, Rejoyce and Glenfriends: Interim Chief Howard Jordan, not Batts, was in charge yesterday regarding Occupy Oakland. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hello everybody, Due to the ongoing activities at City Hall, we have changed the location of the National Mentoring Month meeting tomorrow at 4pm to the meeting room in my building: 1904 Franklin St. 3rd floor (corner of 19th street- above Aroma's cafe). There is street meter parking (do not park on Franklin- it's tow away zone in the late afternoon), and there is a public parking garage on 19th street between Franklin and Broadway). We are 1 block from the 19th street Bart station. I am attaching for you maps that show the 100 blocks that Jean Quan is focusing on, where the vast majority of homicides are occurring. The concept is- these neighborhoods are where the most support needs to be provided, be it helping the community organize itself, provide jobs, social services, police, enhanced youth activities, mentoring, etc. It would be useful to look at these schools and see who has a presence? I gathered some of this information with the survey They are: McClymonds, Lowell and Acorn, Elmhurst, Havenscourt, and Parker. These maps show the schools that are within or right near these neighborhoods, as well as which police beats they are, where there are libraries, liquor stores, churches, public housing and gang territories. The schools are as follows (although seeing Cole on this list which if I remember correct is closed- this list may need some updating): 1. McClymonds McClymonds, (Lafayette Elementary and Hoover Elementary are nearby)

2. Lowell and Acorn West Oakland Middle School Kipp Bridge College Prep ML King Jr. Elementary Preparatory Literacy Academy of Cultural Excellence (place) at Prescott Cole Middle School (doesn't exist now?) (nearby are Bunche Academy, Civicorp Corpsmembers Academy) 3. Elmburst New Highland Academy Rise Community School Elmhurst Community Prep Alliance Academy East Oakland Pride Webster Academy Monarch Academy Education for Change at Cox Elementary Reach Academy near by are: the Castlemont High school academies and Reems Academy of Technology and Art 4.

Hello, I don't know what you were thinking sending in the storm troopers like that, but did it occur to you that in doing so you take on the aggressor's position and make the case against your administration. This was not the action of a very intelligent individual.

Well said...I too prefer Oakland to be in the news about Peacefulll and thoughtfull leadership instead of what we are getting now. Let us have a leader that leads.

Good afternoon, Jean. I am very disturbed at the way you and the interim chief have handled matters since Day One of the OccupyOakland demonstration. You all had opportunities over the last weeks to use peaceful means to obviate the horrendous events of yesterday; you did not take them. Our City government should have been there on October 10th, the first day we demonstrated. (That's when I saw the first tent stakes being driven into the lawn of the park.) City employees could and should have been present as the demonstration ended that evening and the "occupiers" moved onto the park land. I can only assume they were not there because no one in your office had been thinking about what the City should do when OccupyOakland demonstrators actually occupied something. How dreadfully unfortunate no one thought ahead. City employees could have engaged those who intended to begin to camp out. Later, City employees could have helped the good-hearted majority of demonstrators maintain the peace, rule-of-law, and sanitation for the encampment. In the days that you allowed the encampment to continue, you could have been proactive and provided such things as portable toilets and safety/security in front of City Hall or even at another nearby location; you all could have used smart, soft power, but you did not. In terms of providing real, constructive, make-a-difference leadership, you have been MIA. You dithered, delayed, and equivocated. You sent the police to monitor the occupation instead of City staff. Your actions and inaction helped establish and foster the antagonistic relationship between the City and the demonstrators. Then only visible leadership I saw from you regarding OccupyOakland was speaking at the OccupyOakland rally at Laney after your violence conference and then marching to Ogawa Plaza with us to rally at the site of the encampment. How can you march and rally in support of OccupyOakland one week, and gas it the next? Instead of acting in such a confusing and inconsistent manner, you could have done all of us a service by not allowing the tents and encampment to remain that first night; but you did allow itbefore you didnt allow it! Tragically, your lack of forethought and subsequent stumbling miscalculations resulted yesterday in your ordering OPD to fall back on its traditional, tried-and-failed tactics of brute force, clumsiness, stupidity, and overkill. Not only did the citizens there not deserve to be treated in such a violent and callous way, but you have now, once again, opened us up as a city to more lawsuits by victims of the brutality. Your lack of foresightful action early on and your disastrous decisions of October 25th have also reinforced the image of our city as a violent and dangerous place with incompetent leadership where ineptness reigns and critical problem solving skills seem to be non-existent. This is yet another crisis for our city, and you and our other elected city officials are failing us. Where are youour strong mayor governance model mayor? Sending out the police in riot uniforms with stun grenades and tear gas is not leadership; it is a cowardly, hunker-down, strategy unworthy of we citizens who elected you to represent us. Why as a Council member was it a good idea to stand between the Oscar Grant demonstrators and the riot police then but not during the initial raid at Ogawa Plaza yesterday morning or last evening at 14th and Broadway? Where were you?
196
You and Council need to work together to come up with a sensible, soft-power strategy that provides a way forward without subjecting either our citizens or our police department to more injuries nor depleting precious financial resources that we can ill-afford to be spending on OPD overtime, compensation to all the law-enforcement agencies' forces you have brought in from surrounding areas, and the myriad of city workers involved in cleaning up the mess your police actions precipitated. How about this instead? 1. Meet and negotiate with OccupyOakland for a mutually agreeable, downtown venue and "rules-for-occupying" that will allow citizens to maintain a presence at a mutually-agreeable location in downtown Oakland. 2. Provide OPD protection/oversight to support those citizens who wish to assemble/occupy peaceably, law-abidingly, and healthfully. 3. Make it clear by Council Resolution and City actions that Oakland supports peaceful demonstrations and even occupations with which the elected officials, by majority, agree. (This would marginalize the anarchists and criminals who delight in taking advantage of these situations for their own purposes and discredit those of us who wish to demonstrate peaceably, lawfully, and safely.) Without these or similar steps being taken THIS WEEK, I will consider you to be a failed leader who is unworthy of any further support. I also strongly urge all Council members to work with you or take the lead themselves in establishing and maintaining authentic dialogue with OccupyOakland demonstrators. We must now show ourselves, and the entire world that is watching us, that we are a smart and progressive city and not a city that is coming apart at its seams. You must demonstrate immediately that you can learn from the mistakes you have made over these last weeks. You as mayor and we as citizens, we all must be and show ourselves to be a city where reason, fairness, and non-violence rule and guide us forward. Sincerely, Danny Cieloha

Dear Jean, Along with so many of you, we watched with horror yesterday as the Occupy Oakland encampment was destroyed and the residents evicted with flash grenades, tear gas and batons. We watched as Occupiers and allies from all over the world responded with outrage and organized to return last evening, ending in a violent confrontation with the police. One of the most inspiring parts of the Occupy movement is how it engages folks across age, race and class. At Occupy Oakland, there were folks with walkers and wheelchairs, parents with small children, elders and youth, unemployed people and professionals, and people with nowhere else to go. There were Buddhists meditating, artists silk-screening, and homeless people and working folks together envisioning and creating something new. There has been lots of discussion about race and Occupy. Like all of society there are visible and invisible barriers for people of color to participate, and we are present and working to make our way in. We know that the issues that Occupy is naming are crucial to the survival of our communities, and that it's essential that our voices be heard. We know that protest is an essential tool for those of us with less power to make ourselves heard by those who have more. We gather, we chant, we march, we sing. This is the way we make sure we are heard by those who can grant us what we need--be it funding for schools, marriage equality, affordable housing, or the end of apartheid. They know we are together, we are determined, and we are strong.

When protests become violent (and this violence has been instigated by the police) just about all of the folks we work with and for, the people that we are, have to leave. People with disabilities, those who have been incarcerated or have records, parents, children, folks with PTSD, undocumented people, queer and trans folks, and low-wage workers often cannot risk injury or arrest. Cannot afford to find themselves in jail for several days without bail. Cannot breath the tear gas or endure the violence without it extracting an enormous toll. When the state pulls out the big guns-the tear gas, the bean bags, the flash grenades--they also turn all of us away at the door. This is the impact of state-sanctioned violence: it shuts down our ability to participate, and makes us choose between our rights. It once again tilts the scale toward the 1%, who do not fear police raids on their homes, or tear gas on their way to City Hall. This is not a critique of those who can risk arrest, or who are able to function in the violent situation the police are creating. We have the utmost respect for the countless Occupiers giving blood, sweat, tears, and time to this movement. You have our deepest appreciations for holding the line. Today, we are calling attention to the folks that cannot participate in those confrontations, or who chose not to in order to protect themselves or their families from the risk of injury, arrest, deportation, or other violence. And we join with our allies all over Oakland, the US and the world who are calling on our Mayor Jean Quan to restore peace at Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza, to call off the police, and let the process of democracy continue. Oakland is built on the breath of protest movements. Our proudest heritage comes from the Panthers, the Porters, and the day-to-day struggle that has built Oakland into a diverse and vibrant city. Let's do that heritage proud, and give the plaza back to the people. While the encampment was not a utopia, people continue to work to make it a safe place for all, across race, class, age, ability, gender and sexuality. We know Mayor Quan may have ordered the eviction in response to accusations that she is soft on crime because she has opposed gang injunctions and supported prevention over policing. Mayor Quan, we know these are often unpopular positions--we hold them too. We know it can be hard to defend yourself against the people who believe that more violence will somehow make our city more peaceful. And we can imagine that upon hearing about the small recall effort against you, you may have felt afraid for your job and your legacy. But we also know that you stand with us in believing that

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park.

Rubber bullets to the face do not constitute peaceful eviction. The eyes of the world are on you. Is this the image of America and our first amendment rights that YOU want to present to the rest of the world?
Mayor Quan issued a statement commending the police for their "peaceful" eviction of Occupy Oakland, even going so far as to invite occupiers to express their first amendment rights during daytime hours. For Mayor Quan, "peaceful" apparently includes shooting veterans in the face with rubber bullets and putting them in critical condition. Give her a call, and tell her she needs to resign her post so a more "peaceful" mayor can govern. Home: 510-539-8361 Cell: 510-409-7948 Work: 510-238-7004 Email: jeanquan4@gmail.com

Dear Mayor Quan I read about, and saw videos of, the treatment of Occupy Oakland protesters by police including use of flash grenades and tear gas - and I am appalled. I have been a supporter of Occupy Wall Street, and recognize in this group a legitimate peaceful protest, in accordance with the Constitution and traditions of our nation. It is never a good sign when police use violence on citizens - it undermines the legitimacy of, and public support for, the government. Mayor Bloomberg has not been a supporter of this movement, but has recognized its legitimacy and public support, and chosen to respect the right of the assembled to peacefully protest. I hope that you will recognize that this movement speaks the voice of the many, and that you will place yourself on the right side of history. Respectfully, Bob Goldberg Brooklyn NY

As the mother of two soldiers in active duty, who joined the military and are putting their lives at risk to get away from the violent streets of Oakland, I am disgusted. Your support and acknowledgement of OPD for a "peaceful" protest, assures me you have no idea what "peaceful" means and you are not the right mayor for this City. Resign in shame.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Barbara Cushing 5995 Chabolyn Ter Oakland, CA 94618-1913

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. The protestors are on the right side of history. Quan and OPD are not.

The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Hon. Mayor Quan, As a supporter and participant in the Occupy movement in my hometown, I found the evicting of the protestors in Oakland severely egregious. What was worse than the fact that you kicked them out is how you chose to do it. You allowed riot police with weaponized tear gas, dangerous rubber bullets, and a mandate to do what ever the hell they wanted attack peaceful protestors practicing their First Amendment right to freedom of speech and to petition government for their greivances. Now an Iraq War veteran sits in the hospital severely wounded and hundreds of others have minor injuries. At this point, you need to step down and admit that you reacted poorly. --Derin Dacey

Shame on you. There is all that can be said about how horribly your police handled this. You are the only city that had to resort to tear gas and that shows more about the culture of the Oakland Police than the protesters. Bullies in uniform and you must be proud. Shame on OAKLAND Police ... carry on and spin this to make the protesters look like aggressors. Shame and disgusting! Protect and serve ... who exactly?

I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Michael Tomczyszyn 243 Ramsell St San Francisco, CA 94132-3140

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Gabi Canez 4305 Overend Ave Richmond, CA 94804-3305

Please stand with peaceful protest in our city and reject the violent police response to the "occupy" protesters.

Shame on you. There is all that can be said about how horribly your police handled this. You are the only city that had to resort to tear gas and that shows more about the culture of the Oakland Police than the protesters. Bullies in uniform and you must be proud.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Trenton DuVal 15151 Enadia Way Van Nuys, CA 91405-2902

The more I hear, the more I wonder if we need to do a city-wide non- violence training with police, citizens, and "Anonymous" protestors....! There is an art to situation-calming that kids are now learning skills for in schools. We adults sure need it, too! There are such wonderful stories of non-violent protests around the world. It seems in Oakland this drama must be acted out over and over; when one group becomes inflamed, there is no stopping the tide, and before you know it, there's tear gas. Frustratingly, shouting for justice often creates the opposite!!!

I am not bothered by panhandlers. i am bothered by crime. The NCPC, from my moderately intense experience focuses on how citizens can join together to help each other. The assumption is, and I can credit the NCPC for its realism, that the police will not be there in any immediate way. I just can't get past this assumption, although it seems to be true. So Jonathan's anger at the actions of the police will not be addressed at the NCPC. The only things addressed at the NCPC, from my experience is how we can join together to help each other. How we should form neighborhood watch groups and how we should prepare for a disaster. The NCPC that addressed the Hillcrest demolition moved from a peaceful, compliant group to any angry demanding group. That fact together with a lot of other factors did cause the Hillcrest to be closed. It wasn't done in a peaceful pleasant way. It involved people putting themselves out there and going outside of established formats to have it happen. Change is not a gift, it is to be fought for.
My apologies to all of the good police work that happens. I hear about it through this listserve. I do not blame individual police, but I am noting that the system is screwed up.

That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Occupy Oakland is people. Individual human beings many of whom have suffered during this prolonged recession. The homeless people who joined Occupy Oakland are people too (perhaps you have forgotten) who have fallen through the cracks due to mental health problems the city continues to ignore, 99 weeks or more of unemployment, or whose homes have been taken from them. Where ever you lay the "blame" for the orders which cause unwarranted attacks on Occupy Oakland which trigger memories of raids on The Jews in Poland, Germany and elsewhere. Turn your "war on Occupy" troops into Peace Officers and when this issue is over retrain them to be PEACE OFFICERS not attack dogs. Sincerely, A Bonvouloir PO Box 70185 Sunnyvale, CA 94086-0185

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. I don't understand why the Oakland PD was allowed to assault demonstrators unreasonably for a whole day and night. Yesterday's news (October 25, 2011) sounded like stories I have read and heard from the 1960s about police beatings and tear gas in the days before nonviolent protest was recognized as a legitimate form of political expression. This just doesn't make sense. You know perfectly well that extreme police brutality, of the type reported in Oakland yesterday, places its victims on the moral high ground. You have no logical reason to ignore 40-50 years' worth of civilizing political lessons. Therefore I agree with the calls for you to: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Mayor Quan, The violent attack on the Occupy demonstrators was frightfully aggressive, reminiscent of the atmosphere at Kent State. The First Amendment right to address grievances with our government does not in any way limit the peaceful expression of those grievances. What was ordered and done to the Occupiers was wrong, dishonest at it's core. I will work with as many others as I can to see that you are removed from office.

I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. How are we supposed to tear gas, and multiple response to a PEACEFUL than protests that did department. get behind the police when they wage such an attack. 5 helicopters, swat teams is a huge waste of resources and a totally disproportionate protest, one of many across the country, and much smaller and tamer not provoke such an extreme and violent force from the police
The police violence has only served to further anger the majority of people at the protest and has inspired even MORE to occupy Oakland. When you respond to free speech with violence, and you take tactics to silence a dissatisfied majority, and use violence against them, you DO NOT see success. It is so sad, but also inspiring, as your attacks on the elderly, bystanders, children and innocent peaceful protesters downtown last night will only inspire more. You are so wrong for your actions, OPD and Ms. Mayor, however you may not even know that by your violent and inappropriate opposition to one of the biggest social movement of our time, you have furthered the cause of those wanting to "Occupy" more than any of the protests have. But thanks is not in order. We now know what to expect from you. People don't seem like they will stop, they just seem like they will be more prepared. ___________________________________________ On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park.

What we ALL saw on the internet last night was nothing short of ruthless and horrific. Not what any protestor did, what your police force under your direction did. How can you seriously say that the police were "peaceful" with a straight face?

That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. I live and work in Oakland and love our city, but I was so disheartened by the hard-line tactics taken against activists who provided an inspiring, hopeful alternative to the broken political process at the federal level. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades was completely unnecessary. Your approach felt contrary to the community-engagement model that your administration has embodied. It felt wrong, particularly here in Oakland. Therefore I urge you to: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attendance at other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. - Issue an apology to our Oakland residents for the excessive force in our streets. I sincerely believe that any health and safety concerns, which were ostensibly the basis for the dismantling of Occupy Oakland, can be handled through peaceful discussions--the violent acts of our police will only beget further violence and deepen the breach of trust that has occurred.

October 26, 2011 Dear Mayor Quan: I am writing to you from Flushing, NY, where I am in a state of outrage over what you allowed to happen to the Occupy Oakland encampment. Are you so scared of the protesters that you would approve of a military-like strike on unarmed peaceful citizens demonstrating their great yearning for direct democracy and hopeful vision of a creative participatory society? Violence is not the answer, Mayor Quan. Please look deep into your heart and respond in a valiant way for the wrong action that you selected. Now is the moment to take a loving action for the sake of the people that you represent, for the sake of the larger movement that is unfolding, and for the sake of our world which is in desperate need of change. Now is the time for each of us to step up and become a hero. It starts with an apology. Then join us as we create a world-wide movement of peace. The world is watching, so please act quickly.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I live two miles from downtown Oakland and the police response has been totally inappropriate, with helicopters circling over my neighborhood for two days. There have been worse reponses in places like Colorado, but this has been pretty bad.

When the government no longer is of the people and for the people then it is past time to get rid of that government. It is beginning to look like that the government no longer is the servant, but the opressor. How long will we have to live under tyranny before the Revolution will take place. And will the Tree of Liberty need to be watered again with the blood of it's citizens? i am to the point, where I believe that the 1% and the corporations and politicians are in collusion against the people and if this is so, You will not stand! If this continues, then there will be a reckoning that will make the protests in the 60's seem like childs play.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that the city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I believe that the Oakland Police Dept has used excessive force after being ordered by Oakland City Hall to break up the peaceful protests - this is just wrong !

Last, I think Oakland has bigger problems. If you were serious about combating crime, you would be arresting drug dealers and prostitutes and anyone who really is contributing to the crime in Oakland. These were peaceful individuals. I think you made a huge mistake by going after people who were protesting, instead of going after real criminals. Seriously, Mayor, how quickly you forgot about your own grass roots activism. I am appalled and am questioning your leadership at this point and judgement. Clean up the streets and the real criminals, not hippies and people who have a real reason to be angry.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Police brutality is a major concern, particularly in Oakland, CA

It's not okay for peaceful protests against the horrendous illegal actions of Wall Street to be met with such actions! Government is to be empowered FOR and BY the People - that's us! Finally we're standing up to say that what's been happening is NOT okay with us, we want it to stop, be addressed, and corrections to be made. Government officials should hear this call before they are removed from their posts of power, as others have been removed before them.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. Of all the ways to handle this situation, Oakland managed to find the worst possible. Either the police were out of control or they were directed to a course of action that is a disgrace. I am so sorry that this happened just days before we are asked to vote on a parcel tax which is in a sense a vote of confidence in Oakland's leadership. Who ordered this police riot? One almost thinks the Oakland police should be reorganized from scratch. Why do we have out of town cops pounding Oakland and other citizens who had committed few or no acts of violence. What a disaster for our city...I am so disappointed in the leadership we have demonstrated.... On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly.

The People, of America and all countries around the globe, have no other way of making our voices heard, apparently: Letters and phone calls and petitions don't work.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. We elected you - and I voted for you - because of your progressive and thoughtful approach to governance. Your willingness to bring force in opposition to a peaceful protest that simply seeks to bring about an Oakland in which all people have access to opportunity is shocking. That Oakland now stands as one of the few cities across this country that has met the Occupy Movement with violent force is shameful. There were and continue to be alternative options to take in addressing the safety and health concerns you have. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. As a US Navy vet, I am outraged that Scott Olsen was injured by the police. Remember this: US military are sworn to uphold the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And the right to peaceable assembly is a right affirmed by the Constitution. It seems to me that the Oakland police are now the enemies of the US Constitution.

The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you ordered a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. Your administration followed that with a shameful day of near martial law in the area surrounding city hall. The Occupy encampment was not the cause of the alleged health and safety problems in downtown Oakland. As a 30 year resident who has been robbed at gunpoint in my own front yard and who works practically across the street from City Hall, I know that rats, homelessness and public safety problems exist all year round, and throughout downtown and the flatlands. The encampment made more visible some of Oakland's pre-existing conditions--but were responding to poverty and hunger with food and shelter, albeit basic. The taking care of its residents. Blaming people who have gathered to express their free speech, freedom of assembly and redress of grievances is abominable. Don't taxpayer funds on useless militarization of public space. the occupiers city isn't rights to waste our
How about some action against the banks who are destroying neighborhoods through foreclosures. Protect free speech, feed the hungry, house the homeless, tax the speculators, jail the real criminals--the Wall Street bankers. - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested and release them immediately. - Protect the free speech rights and freedom of assembly of Occupy participants and the residents of Oakland and the Bay Area in City Hall Plaza and at all other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Forget the lobbying trips to Washington--apologize to Oakland and rein in the police now. B. Jesse Clarke Sincerely, B. Clarke 12th street Oakland, CA 94612

I am an Oakland resident, and I saw the camp before you trashed it, though I have not taken part in any demonstrations. What I just saw is enough to have me seriously consider doing so. What was done was sickening. The lies that were told about the camp and the protesters and the methods that were used against peaceful people are something I'd expect to see in Saddam Hussein's Iraq rather than in the heart of my own city. We have a constitutional right to peaceful public assembly. What was done was unAmerican and illegal.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am signing because I believe citizens of the United States have the right to peaceful protest. Peaceful protesters should neither be assaulted nor punished. Dialogue is the appropriate response.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I believe that actions like these are part of the reason the entire country is protesting. Our situation in general is just not right. We need to find a better way to solve our issues; violence is never the answer, especially in a peaceful protest situation. The people just want to be heard!

Dear Mayor Quan This is an open letter to you, and is being Cc and Bcc to lists across the nation and the world I am a Vietnam Combat Veteran and a National Board member of Veterans For Peace, our members includes men and women veterans of all eras and duty stations spanning the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf and current Iraq wars as well as other conflicts and we have some 120 chapters throughout the United States. Our collective experience tells us that most wars have been based on lies, and that they have little to do with our National Security and more to do with Economic and/or Political Hegemony interests of Corporations and the Military Industrial Complex. Too, many of our soldiers and friends have died, been wounded, or mentally scarred defending what they believed were the fundamental truths or propositions that were supposed to serve as the foundations for what is to our Democracy. The right to free speech, and free assembly to air our grievances when those right have been abridged. Thus, your ordering of the Raid on Occupy Oakland in the middle of the evening under the cover of darkness, smells to high heaven as one of the worse trespasses on those rights since the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 60s and 70s. Your actions and the actions of the Oakland Police are not dissimilar to the secret police of the former Soviet Union, the Fascists of German and Italy or the dictators of any number of countries whom we have charged with Human Rights Violations for attacking their peaceful protests such as in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria. Governments have been overthrown for such actions, and in this case if you continue on this course, you should be recalled from office. Your only atonement would be to apologize and compensate those arrested and those whose tents and personal belongings have been trashed. This has been an affront to our so-called "Democracy" the whole world has been watching, see links and posts below. You will see, that one of our brave members Scott Olsen was seriously injured with a fractured skull, let us pray that he will recover without any serious complications. Let it be known that Veterans For Peace along with our friends and supporters are very much in support of the Occupy Movements taking place across the country which iis a force that is spreading across the globe. Either you support our Constitution and the Right therein or you are against the very people your are sworn to represent and protect and a traitor to your office. I hope you will recognize your error of judgment and that you apologize and repair the damage, and allow for the return of the occupiers.
Sincerely
Daniel Shea Board of Directors Veterans For Peace djshea@hotmail.com

Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:05:13 -0400 Subject: [vfp-board] Events in Oakland From: mike@veteransforpeace.org T Brothers and Sisters I just got off the phone with VFP Chapter 69 member Josh Sheperd, who was at 14th and Broadway in Oakland early this morning and witnessed much of what happened. Josh said that after receiving several text messages with news of the Oakland PD taking down tents and arresting people, he decided to go to downtown Oakland and "see if, as a VFP member, I could help still the anger...to be between the police and the protesters...it seemed unconscionable to me that the police use the cover of darkness like that to do what they were doing." He got to the front of the crowd (see photo link, above) and said he "felt a lot of tension in the air." Shortly thereafter a barrage of "less than lethal" ordnance, tear gas, bean bags and flash-bangs was fired. He and the people he was with took off, regrouped, marched through part of downtown and returned to 14th and Broadway. There, he went to the front of the crowd immediately, waving the VFP flag. He said the crowd seemed considerably calmer. "It might be just my impression, but there seemed to be a considerable desire for peace and the crowd expressed that." Next, the Oakland PD issued the "you're going to get arrested if you don't leave" warning. Shortly after that, Josh said, "People in the rear of the crowd threw eggs at the police and that was the OPD's cue to fire another barrage." In that barrage, VFP and IVAW member, Scott Olsen was struck in the head with some sort of projectile and was severely injured. Josh reports that Scott was admitted to hospital and has a fractured skull. His condition is stable but serious. Here are two videos, one showing Scott, wearing a VFP shirt, being carried away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMUgPTCgwcQ&feature=youtu.be The other has some slow motion footage that shows flash-bangs being thrown by the police, including one into a group of people standing around someone in the street. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNOPZLw03Q&feature=youtu.be It's unclear whether that person

is Scott Olsen or not. IVAW Director, Jose Vasquez, said they are keeping up on the situation, have issued a press release and are contacting national media. They are asking people to call the Oakland Police Dept. What you can do: Call the Oakland Police Department 510-777-3333; 510-238-3365; 510-238-3131 Attend a rally at the OPD headquarters later today Go to the nearest occupation encampment in your vicinity in solidarity For more information in Oakland Josh Sheperd Adelle Carpenter (Civilian-Soldier Alliance) -----------------------------------------------------------------Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:10:24 -0400 Subject: "Less than lethal" From: mike@veteransforpeace.org For a look at what's in the "less than lethal" arsenal: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=15453 -Mike Ferner, Interim Director Veterans For Peace 216 S.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Miranda Everitt 1029 Oak St Apt 4 Oakland, CA 94607-4828

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

As Mayor, you should have been present to lead non-violent dialogue about this situation and to protect your constituents' rights. Instead, you were in Washington DC as the police attacked citizens whose cause is supported by 75% of Americans according to a recent poll. Who do you work for? Oakland has a long history of protest.

I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. I understand the health and sanitation need to clear out the protest site, but the tactics were just over the top. These police tactics turned what was a proud time for Oakland (which was demonstrating what civilized levels we are capable of even when we might disagree) into a crude, harmful, battle. The events of last night (Tuesday) were just a response to this new behavior of the police. Shame on our police department! We are all much better then that! A new conversation must start that brings us back to civilized behavior. I urge you to see that this happens. Sincerely, Beverly Smrha 3200 Burdeck Dr Oakland, CA 94602-2615

From: Sent: To: Subject: Dear MoveOn member, Last night, Scott Olsen, a Marine who served two tours in Iraq, was struck in the head by a "nonlethal" projectile fired by 1 the Oakland police. The round fractured his skull, leaving him in critical condition. Olsen had joined with other members of Occupy Oakland to peacefully protest the group's eviction that morning. When a group gathered to help Olsen after he was hit, a police officer threw a flash bang grenade into the group from a few feet away. Deeply disturbing video of the incident was captured by a local news crew and provides the clearest evidence yet of the lengths that authorities will go to to stop Occupy protesters from voicing uncomfortable truths about our economy. Yesterday's eviction in the predawn hours and last night's violence against protesters are only the latest attempts to silence the voices of those who are speaking up for the 99%. But members of Occupy Oakland, who faced the most brutal crackdown yet, refuse to be intimidated. They've called for another peaceful gathering tonight to stand up for 3 their First Amendment rights. To help defend their rights, we're scrambling to put together a rapid response ad to run in Oakland urging Mayor Quan and the police to end their brutal tactics and respect the protesters' rights. We want to make sure everyone in Oakland sees the footage of the crackdown for themselves. Every dollar we raise will go to pay for the ad, and if there's anything left over, we'll donate it to a group doing good work helping our veterans as they come home from war. Click here to chip in. We're also supporting a petition by Causa Justa :: Just Cause to Oakland's mayor to stop the police repression of Occupy Oakland. Click here to sign CJJC's petition to Mayor Quan. Many MoveOn members experienced the police crackdown firsthand last night. Here's what some of them said: The police were intimidating and I have been to many protests in my life, but nothing quite like this. I have never seen such a police presence with such force, especially for a calm crowd. The tear gas was pretty brutal, it is still on my clothes and skin this morning. Anywhere in downtown Oakland had the smell and sting of the gas all night. Gina W. We talked to the police across the barricades about how we were also fighting for them, for their children's shot to education without lifelong debt, for the preservation of their collective bargaining rights. We expressed this solidarity knowing that they might not be listening, but we also know that the reasons for not listening are deeply personal.... Julie K. As a retired military man, I wanted to reiterate what [I heard] the Marine Sgt espousing to the police: There is NO honor in brutalizing your own people. The tear gas stung but I have been exposed to worse, including Agent Orange. What I saw at Ogawa Plaza made me extremely proud of those brave souls that were passionate about their causes. As we say in the Marine Corp and Navy...BRAVO ZULU.Pete H. Thanks for all you do. Justin, Marika, Anna, Laura, and the rest of the team P.S. If you want to show your support in person, members of Occupy Oakland are gathering peacefully again at 6 p.m. tonight at 14th and Broadway.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I was at occupy. Yeah they were allowing homeless to stay there too. They were even feeding them.. But wait! That's not so bad. Its illegal to be in a city park camping - -- um, so tear gas and rubber bullets and flash grenades ? Something is very wrong here. But indeed it's a part of the wrong we are protesting. Thus I sign this, as a sign, but this action by the man (or in this case the whoa man) is really not very shocking. That's what the 1% does to shut up the 99%

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am signing to help stop this grave injustice. We have a voice and it is time that is was heard!!

Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Because I am a concerned American citizen and I won't tolerate or stand idle while my fellow citizens are being victimized.

It is not only unconstitutional to violate the right of US citizens to assemble in peaceful protest, but it is also a waste of city funds and our already stretched-too-thin police resources to try to squash a movement that will not go away until a real change is made. No matter what you throw at us, we will not be silenced. The world is watching.

All of your are paid by the government, but all of you should've taken an oath to serve the people. Annoying is not a crime. Protesting should not be treated as a crime. These protesters are standing up for YOU and YOUR RIGHTS too, so if you're allowing this to happen to them you are essentially undermining your own rights and freedoms. If you do nothing else, take violence out of the equation when it comes to these protests. San Diego police did it right. They allowed protesters to protest and when it was necessary that they move, they moved them. There was no WARZONE, canister-throwing aggression. I believe the Oakland police reputation is on the line here and there are too many people with access to social media to let this aggression go undocumented, unspoken about. Please take violence against the protesters OUT OF THE EQUATION~! Thank you. Sincerely, Lauren Burns 6750 Beadnell Way Unit 10 San Diego, CA 92117-5142

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Mayor Quan, I voted for you and am extremely disappointed with you. You should be ashamed at yourself for giving orders for police to commit violence and then leaving town! -Carla

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

I am not taking a stance on supporting the issues behind the movement or not....but people should be allowed to excercise their right to peacefully gather and voice their opinions. The police have a hard enough job. Making everyone hate/distrust them will not make their job easier or make anybody safer. Intimidation does not equal peace. Escalation to violence does not make them right.

To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Have a CONVERSATION about any concerns you or the city of Oakland may have concerning safety or sanitation. At present, the biggest safety threat is the Oakland Police Department. I'm ashamed of the way you have handled this so far - I look forward to reason, logic & calm, cool heads in the future.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Dear Mayor Quan This is an open letter to you, and is being Cc and Bcc to lists across the nation and the world I am a Vietnam Combat Veteran and a National Board member of Veterans For Peace, our members includes men and women veterans of all eras and duty stations spanning the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf and current Iraq wars as well as other conflicts and we have some 120 chapters throughout the United States. Our collective experience tells us that most wars have been based on lies, and that they have little to do with our National Security and more to do with Economic and/or Political Hegemony interests of Corporations and the Military Industrial Complex. Too, many of our soldiers and friends have died, been wounded, or mentally scarred defending what they believed were the fundamental truths or propositions that were supposed to serve as the foundations for what is to our Democracy. The right to free speech, and free assembly to air our grievances when those right have been abridged. Thus, your ordering of the Raid on Occupy Oakland in the middle of the evening under the cover of darkness, smells to high heaven as one of the worse trespasses on those rights since the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 60s and 70s. Your actions and the actions of the Oakland Police are not dissimilar to the secret police of the former Soviet Union, the Fascists of German and Italy or the dictators of any number of countries whom we have charged with Human Rights Violations for attacking their peaceful protests such as in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria. Governments have been overthrown for such actions, and in this case if you continue on this course, you should be recalled from office. Your only atonement would be to apologize and compensate those arrested and those whose tents and personal belongings have been trashed. This has been an affront to our so-called "Democracy" the whole world has been watching, see links and posts below. You will see, that one of our brave members Scott Olsen was seriously injured with a fractured skull, let us pray that he will recover without any serious complications. Let it be known that Veterans For Peace along with our friends and supporters are very much in support of the Occupy Movements taking place across the country which iis a force that is spreading across the globe. Either you support our Constitution and the Right therein or you are against the very people your are sworn to represent and protect and a traitor to your office. I hope you will recognize your error of judgment and that you apologize and repair the damage, and allow for the return of the occupiers.

Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:05:13 -0400 Subject: [vfp-board] Events in Oakland From: mike@veteransforpeace.org T Brothers and Sisters I just got off the phone with VFP Chapter 69 member Josh Sheperd, who was at 14th and Broadway in Oakland early this morning and witnessed much of what happened. Josh said that after receiving several text messages with news of the Oakland PD taking down tents and arresting people, he decided to go to downtown Oakland and "see if, as a VFP member,
957
I could help still the anger...to be between the police and the protesters...it seemed unconscionable to me that the police use the cover of darkness like that to do what they were doing." He got to the front of the crowd (see photo link, above) and said he "felt a lot of tension in the air." Shortly thereafter a barrage of "less than lethal" ordnance, tear gas, bean bags and flash-bangs was fired. He and the people he was with took off, regrouped, marched through part of downtown and returned to 14th and Broadway. There, he went to the front of the crowd immediately, waving the VFP flag. He said the crowd seemed considerably calmer. "It might be just my impression, but there seemed to be a considerable desire for peace and the crowd expressed that." Next, the Oakland PD issued the "you're going to get arrested if you don't leave" warning. Shortly after that, Josh said, "People in the rear of the crowd threw eggs at the police and that was the OPD's cue to fire another barrage." In that barrage, VFP and IVAW member, Scott Olsen was struck in the head with some sort of projectile and was severely injured. Josh reports that Scott was admitted to hospital and has a fractured skull. His condition is stable but serious. Here are two videos, one showing Scott, wearing a VFP shirt, being carried away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMUgPTCgwcQ&feature=youtu.be The other has some slow motion footage that shows flash-bangs being thrown by the police, including one into a group of people standing around someone in the street. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNOPZLw03Q&feature=youtu.be It's unclear whether that person is Scott Olsen or not. IVAW Director, Jose Vasquez, said they are keeping up on the situation, have issued a press release and are contacting national media. They are asking people to call the Oakland Police Dept. What you can do: Call the Oakland Police Department 510-777-3333; 510-238-3365; 510-238-3131 Attend a rally at the OPD headquarters later today Go to the nearest occupation encampment in your vicinity in solidarity For more information in Oakland Josh Sheperd Adelle Carpenter (Civilian-Soldier Alliance) -----------------------------------------------------------------Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:10:24 -0400 Subject: "Less than lethal" From: mike@veteransforpeace.org For a look at what's in the "less than lethal" arsenal:

The other day, we had a particularly odd visitor at the America SCORES office. His clothes were old-fashioned and smelled musty, his hair was disheveled and his mustache was slightly uneven. He looked like he hadn't seen the sun in a few years- 160 years, in fact. His name was Edgar Allan Poe, and he needs your help!

He left a letter meant to reach our young poet-athletes, in which he requests that the students submit Halloween poems for the America SCORES Halloween Edgar Allan Poetry Contest. Edgar Allan Poe and some of his spooky friends will visit the October 29th Game Day to perform the winning poem and award awesome prizes to the winners.

It's been three weeks since the unveiling of the America SCORES Book Zone. Thanks to our generous donors, we've been able to open the Book Zone to hundreds of America SCORES poet-athletes. The excitement has been palpable -- some students are spending more time reading than they are playing soccer! Families are reading together field-side and everyone has been able to take books home and bring them back to exchange for new ones.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. 1st Amendment right supersedes any requirement later and locally established. Sanctioned aggression by the police is disgraceful and an insult to all citizens and our Constitution.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. Oakland is again a negative national news headline today because of the naive (or was it callous?) way the city has handled the eviction of the Occupy Oakland encampment. The passionate engagement of Oakland citizens that shines through this moment should be leveraged and regarded as an asset to the city rather than mishandled in ways that lead to national spectacle and outrage. You have stated that the Ogawa Plaza encampment was facing problems that resulted in poor sanitation and crime risks which necessitated eviction, but I would beg you to reconsider your approach. Which is ultimately more expensive and humiliating: providing a legitimate protest group with portable toilets and appropriate security coverage at night, or unleashing the kind of damage we saw last night? You may have underestimated the determination of your constituents and their peers. The protestors are likely to return again and again for days, if not weeks. It is necessary to speak about Police activity in this letter as well. Police seem to believe they can use their own fear as an excuse to react in violent and disproportionate ways to citizens who are in fact far less powerful and well-protected than themselves. Police should constantly put their own feelings of vulnerability into perspective. Their actions yesterday affected infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities. The police themselves were fully armed, trained, prepared, and backed up. Oakland police say they can't speak to the types of measures other agencies used last night (rubber bullets, wooden dowels), but in the future they should make an effort to coordinate with other agencies well enough that they can take responsibility for what happens on (and harms) their own turf. If OPD has time to call the other agencies in and explain to them the reason for needing backup, they should have enough time to outline which violent measures they are willing to stand by when questioned about events afterwards. If OPD is questioned afterwards about measures that may have harmed their own citizens, they should present themselves as if they are taking the situation seriously enough to make a few inquiries and answer questions in a straightforward way. Yesterday's violent escalations may have been due to poor coordination, but you have every reason to plan and coordinate more carefully from now on and to turn this into something productive. You should lead by honoring and protecting the conviction, energy, and engagement protestors are bringing right now to downtown Oakland.

That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Mayor Quan, I hope you realize the police used excessive force last night and that it was a tragic mistake. You cannot undo what happened, but as mayor, you can apologize to the public for violating the rights of people to protest peacefully, and see that such a reaction does not happen again. I remember Kent State, do you? Do you promote democracy or are you here to abuse power?

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I live in Oakland. The people protesting in the streets represent exactly how I feel. To raise this level of violence against them for occupying public space, on the pretense of hygiene, is grossly offensive.

Being in conversation with the protesters is an adult way to handle differences, and there are work groups within the protest movements to problem solve with while still maintaining their rights to peacefully assemble. I find this action outrageous! The model should have been that of NYC's, advance notice of the problems, time frame goals to accomplish them, and working out mutually respectful solutions to allow freedom of speech while these representatives of the rest of the 99 % of us demonstrate and work out ways to clearly give voice to the unfair systemic status quo which has you and the police force as well deluded and the rest of th 99% definitely powerless. The rest of the "civilized" capitalism-on-steroids world is only going to continue to deteriorate by wrong paradigms unless new ones are proposed and put into action. You are on the side of those who cannot succeed in the short term, let alone the long term.And from the point of view of the nation, and world, you have lost in the short term as well.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Us citizens have the right to peacefully assemble. Read the US constitution.

Can anyone say "Joseph Stalin", or "Papa Doc" or any other name this kind of action reminds you of? Only these persons ar playing from the shadows.

The part that really gets me though is how your office called it a peaceful resolution. Peaceful acts do not include Rubber bullets, tear gas, of flashbang like devices. Peaceful is not being woken up at six in the morning by a box cutter ripping open your tent. This is a moment of truth. At this point I, along with many others, am very displeased. If this is the direction things are going I will be forced to support your recall. I do not want this. I have serious doubts about some of the groups calling for your recall. You have not lost all of our support yet, but to get it back will require more than words. Actions have been taken, and actions must be made to make it right. We will hold you and the police accountable for the life of Scott Olson.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Dear Mayor Quan, I am writing to you to express my concern and dismay at the recent actions of the Oakland Police Force. I have been a resident of the City of Oakland for almost 10 years and my tax dollars go directly to helping fund and support the essential services the City provides. Recently, it appears that the Oakland Police Department, ultimately at the direction of you, the mayor, has become an overtly hostile and agressive police department. I have experience the Oscar Grant "riots" and the recent Occupy dismantling, second hand. I was not present at these but supported the peoples right to free speach, as protected under the Constituion of the United States. I voted for you as Mayor, and had/have great hopes that you will be able to turn around the image of the city we all live in and have grown to love. The actions of the OPD do not help. There are hundreds of Occupy movements across the country, yet our City is the poster child for excessive police force. Not San Francisco, Washington, New York, etc. Our city. The one in which we live, the one we love. My question to you is why? Why does the OPD consistenly get involved with protestors? I understand protecting property etc., but this situation should have and could have been handled in a completely different manner. How are we supposed to bring new businesses, new jobs, and new economic propserity into this city when people see the police beating it's fellow citizens? Most police who do not even live in the communities which they are supposed to protect? In my opinion the OPD is far too eager to don their riot gear and to implement their knew riot toys against the people of our city. Our neighbors, our children. My request to you is: 1) Make ti a requirement that offices who serve with the OPD, or at least new office hires, live in the City of Oakland. This would both increase the communities trust in the officers and create a greater since of accountability. I think it is way to easy for officers who live in lodi, sacramento, etc. to don their riot gear and beat the citizens of Oakland when they do not live here. 2) Stop using projectiles in crowd control. They are impersonable and have catastrophic effects when improperly applied. I have heard time and time again about how oficers need to be "properly" trained to use these implements and is the reason for the "misapplication". All of these terms take away the actual effect. Often crippling people for life. Sometimes innocent people who are bystanders experessing their first amendment right. If officers need to get involved, make them use batons and shields. No more projectiles! 3) Start listening to your people. We are afraid, disenfrachised, passionate, and educated. Encourage participation and sharing of ideas. Stop trying to crush the voices of the people. 4) Learn from past mistakes and decrease the level of violence of your police officers. Train them in deescalation technioques. Be willing to pull back. I love my city but am ashamed by the publicity which is only spurned on by the over agressive violence of the OPD. Jonathan

Our Veterans need to be honored for their service. Violence is not the answer. Sure Oakland is a tough town, and there were a few bad people taking advantage, but the protesters as a whole were peaceful and should not of been targeted. The police should of went after the few hooligans not the disabled in wheelchairs, kids, moms and Veterans. Again, violence is not the answer. What happened last night is horrible. This should of been handled differently.

Perhaps you can be on dancing with the stars like so many other disgraced politicians. Do the right thing and resign. I would think that the memory of the 2003 Oakland assaults against protesters and the 2 million dollar subsequent settlement should have tempered your thought process.

Now this was really disturbing to me. ----- Forwarded Message ---From: "Justin Ruben, MoveOn.org Civic Action" <moveon-help@list.moveon.org> To: Linda Burgess <lcburgess@sbcglobal.net> Sent: Wed, October 26, 2011 4:28:50 PM Subject: Last night in Oakland Dear MoveOn member, Last night, Scott Olsen, a Marine who served two tours in Iraq, was struck in the head by a "nonlethal" projectile fired by the Oakland police. The round fractured his skull, leaving him in critical condition.1 Olsen had joined with other members of Occupy Oakland to peacefully protest the group's eviction that morning. When a group gathered to help Olsen after he was hit, a police officer threw a flash bang grenade into the group from a few feet away. Deeply disturbing video of the incident was captured by a local news crew and provides the clearest evidence yet of the lengths that authorities will go to to stop Occupy protesters from voicing uncomfortable truths about our economy. Yesterday's eviction in the predawn hours2 and last night's violence against protesters are only the latest attempts to silence the voices of those who are speaking up for the 99%. But members of Occupy Oakland, who faced the most brutal crackdown yet, refuse to be intimidated. They've called for another peaceful gathering tonight to stand up for their First Amendment rights.3 To help defend their rights, we're scrambling to put together a rapid response ad to run in Oakland urging Mayor Quan and the police to end their brutal tactics and respect the protesters' rights. We want to make sure everyone in Oakland sees the footage of the crackdown for themselves. Every dollar we raise will go to pay for the ad, and if there's anything left over, we'll donate it to a group doing good work helping our veterans as they come home from war. Click here to chip in. We're also supporting a petition by Causa Justa :: Just Cause to Oakland's mayor to stop the police repression of Occupy Oakland.

Click here to sign CJJC's petition to Mayor Quan. Many MoveOn members experienced the police crackdown firsthand last night. Here's what some of them said: The police were intimidating and I have been to many protests in my life, but nothing quite like this. I have never seen such a police presence with such force, especially for a calm crowd. The tear gas was pretty brutal, it is still on my clothes and skin this morning. Anywhere in downtown Oakland had the smell and sting of the gas all night. Gina W. We talked to the police across the barricades about how we were also fighting for them, for their children's shot to education without lifelong debt, for the preservation of their collective bargaining rights. We expressed this solidarity knowing that they might not be listening, but we also know that the reasons for not listening are deeply personal.... Julie K. As a retired military man, I wanted to reiterate what [I heard] the Marine Sgt espousing to the police: There is NO honor in brutalizing your own people. The tear gas stung but I have been exposed to worse, including Agent Orange. What I saw at Ogawa Plaza made me extremely proud of those brave souls that were passionate about their causes. As we say in the Marine Corp and Navy...BRAVO ZULU.Pete H. Thanks for all you do. Justin, Marika, Anna, Laura, and the rest of the team P.S. If you want to show your support in person, members of Occupy Oakland are gathering peacefully again at 6 p.m. tonight at 14th and Broadway. Sources: 1.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Amy Waihili Marsh 1510 Francis St Albany, CA 94706-2425

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. What Oakland police has done is unconstitutional and inhumane.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Rae Quigley 1415 Alcatraz Ave Unit C Berkeley, CA 94702-2710

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am a life-long resident of the East Bay, born in Oakland and now living in Berkeley. I awoke at 3-4AM on the morning of October 25 to hear a live report of the routing of the peaceful, righteous public protest in downtown Oakland. As I understand it, the people staying at Occupy Oakland had good relations with local business owners, included many homeless children and families (many of whom, ironically, had already been living on the streets of downtown Oakland or in cars before the encampment, who then felt safe, were fed and cared for in the community environment, and were able to sleep under cover), and were not a threat to anyone. It is outrageous that in these times after all that has happened to the majority of US citizens, that those who put the difficulties out there for everyone to see and demand be addressed, are treated as enemies of the City of Oakland, routed by military tactics and for what??? We are the 99%!! The people of Occupy (name the city) represent the vast majority of the people of the United States. Who are you trying to protect?

Repression of the people's constitutional right of peaceable assembly for petition for redress of grievances is a major step toward authoritarian rule. Whether before the White House or in Oakland it is WRONG and a major threat to our Republic. The political and police authorities involved should be arrested and prosecuted.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Get the police out of their riot gear. There are no riots.

On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park.

The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. It's no secret that the police, especially Oakland police, are constantly villified. I would like to believe that in general, the police are well-meaning, and really do intend to protect the people - with the exception of some that really are corrupt. I recently completed a training on how to deal with police in an event that something occurs. I was disappointed at how the police were portrayed, as we were consistently told not to trust the police, do not talk to the police, the police lie... etc. At the same time, the people telling me this have negative experience with the police that has led them to have this attitude - still, I believe that a more constructive relationship with and interaction with one another is much more productive. However, the way the Oakland Police department has dealt with Occupy is not at all constructive or productive. I am still surprised when the police use force in these situations, because history and experience show us repeatedly that police force only adds fuel to the fire for the movements. While I am disappointed by how the police has acted, and saddened for people who are injured, everyone knows that this is the best publicity the Occupy movement gets in order to reach more people. I have no doubt that the Oakland's Occupy group will just get stronger. And so- since we know from history that force does not accomplish what I assume you hope it will - to make the protestors go home, what is the use? By acting the way that protestors expect police to act, you only give police a worse reputation without accomplishing your goal. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Please support our constitutional rights, and remember that we all have to live together. Safety, respect, and community are even more important than wealth inequity.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Comments: I am so thankful not to be in Oakland during the Occupy protests. There is no excuse for the way the police have been treating people. They have exceeded the NYPD's terror by far. These are peaceful protesters doing nothing more than exercising their 1st Amendment rights. Rather than committing acts of terrorism and violence against them, they should be protecting their right to assemble. This is wrong and YOU need to stop it. Albany NY police have vowed not to arrest anyone not committing an act of violence. Sacramento DA has decided not to prosecute any Occupy Sacramento protesters. Take a page from their books and do the right thing for the people of your city. How can you govern and condone this type of violence being committed against your citizens? Do you support the people of your city or do you support the corporations that have taken the hope away from them? Figure out what side you are really on and let the people know. Support your city and it's residents. Stop the police from committing atrocities like this again. Thank you for sending a message for peace. BYW: I am from the La Crosse / Onalaksa, WI Metro area. Yes, WISCONSIN, the state that has been on the national news consistently since Feb 2011. This hits us even closer to home. Disgusted!

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Democracy and justice are messy!

If the sidewalk is damaged by a "City" tree, the City pays for the sidewalk repairs. Unfortunately for most homeowners, the bulk of these trees are not the City's. In that case the homeowner is responsible for sidewalk repairs. Liability for injuries to pedestrians is a fairly complicated set of rules, dealing with "notice", duty to notify, whether or not a certain ordinance has been passed., etc. On occasion the sidewalk gets repaired/replaced as part of a street renovation. Generally, if its your sidewalk (that is in front of your house), it is a good idea to maintain it. Bob Gray -----Original Message----From: glenfriends@yahoogroups.com [mailto:glenfriends@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Fran Kuglen Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 2:42 PM To: 'robert weinberg'; 'ilene_philipson'; glenfriends@yahoogroups.com Subject: [glenfriends] Who owns your sidewalk Robert, Ilene and GlenfriendsFunny thing about that. Seems that people tripping on sidewalks were able to successfully sue City governments for a lot of money to compensate them for their injuries. So different City governments appealed to the Courts and Legislature who ruled in their favor. Therefore-individual homeowners and landlords are fully financially responsible for repairs, replacements, liens, and lawsuits for their sidewalks. City governments are only legally / financially responsible for repairs and replacements of the STREETS. Homeowners MUST follow rules for your sidewalks (building codes, size, color of the cement, no decorative elements allowed, etc) that the City mandates. Wish I had better news for you...

The City keeps an extensive list of every tree they have planted, and unless yours is on that list---you are on the hook for the repairs. 2) If the City cites you (as they did our block of Greenwood Ave) for having to repair the sidewalk in front of your house, the homeowner must repair / replace the sidewalk with a permit and pay for it themselves. Failure to do so means the City places a lien on your property, and sends a crew out to do the work. You are then billed and until it is paid---you won't be able to sell or re-fin your house. 3) If the area to be fixed is larger than 25 sq ft (5 ft wide x 5 ft long), the cost for a permit averages $400 per house plus the cost of labor which is approx. $11 per sq foot. We put together a "How To Primer" on how we worked as a group and significantly cut our costs for 11 houses getting their sidewalks repaired/replaced. We got the City of Oakland to allow us to open ONE permit for the block which was shared equally by all, and we had a great Concrete Contractor give us an amazing bid for all the work being done at

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am a native Oaklander and don't like what I am hearing.

Mayor Jean Quan, I would like you to believe that the way the protest was handled was not peaceful. I would like you to believe that they intimidated and bullied the peaceful protest in the dark at 5:30 am in the morning. Please apologize. That would the most humane thing to do next. Don't feel intimidated that you must back up the police force with your statement that it was a peaceful dispersion. But if the police force intimidate you I sympathize with you; I feel sorry for you Jean Quan.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

The timing and nature of the raid and the use of excessive force escalated a peaceful protest into a violent scene that needlessly endangered the lives of American citizens. Exercising our First Amendment rights, especially when all that's being asked for is nonviolent economic reform, should not be an activity that puts Americans in a life-threatening situation.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. This is disgusting. The fact that these crackdowns are occurring in the Bay Area of all places is completely baffling and unacceptable.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Because using force in this way is the worst way to restore and preserve order and hold the respect of the people you govern. These are not actions which demonstrate leadership or compassion.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

I just want to let you know that in the end only Karma wins, and those who do wrong will be punished for their wrong deeds. We are ALL good people under God whom the police have hurt. There is no honor in this. Remember. No Honor! Hope you take this learning lesson to teach your police how to conduct themselves and also remind them that they are not above the law. Mike NYC

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I believe that peaceful protests should be allowed without police intervention. Freedom of speech and expression trumps political power in my book.

Dear Mayor Quan: Like most of the millions of people who have seen footage of the heavy-handed actions yesterday by the Oakland PD in breaking up the peaceful protests in downtown Oakland, I am shocked and horrified at the tactics used. Even more appalling are the after-the-fact lies by your administration regarding (so far) the tossing of pyrotechnics directly into a crowd of persons trying to rescue an injured Iraqi War veteran whose skull had been fractured by an earlier police-hurled gas cannister, and the use of rubber bullets on the fleeing crowd, including children. The veteran's name is Scott Olsen, and his blood is on your hands. But, hey: at least no one's exercising their constitutionally-protected rights in Frank Ogawa Plaza any more, right? The whole world is watching, and history is judging. Sincerely, Joe Mann San Francisco

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. The unregulated state of our financial institutions is WAY OUT OF WHACK... and the drum beat for changing that situation needs to be heard until some definitive action is taken and ethical behavior and fairness is restored.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers.

For every protestor there are literally hundreds who cannot be there but who support and stand with those people and for the principles of the protest movement. Attacks against them are attacks against the 99% and should be carefully considered. Do not blame the victims. Do not try to silence us. We are angry and not willing to take it anymore.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. I listened to Forum on KQED yesterday and heard protesters were throwing bottles and whatnot. I protection. However, the approach with tear gas alarming and upsetting. Freedom of assembly is the City representative explain that understand needing riot gear or shields for and confiscation of private property is a protected right in this nation.
These protests are in the interest of the people, including the police, for that matter, who presumably are not of the 1%. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

I am forwarding the email you received fromm Daniel Shea to indicate my complete agreement with his words. As a Vietnam Veteran who came home and joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War, I have long been a proponent of peaceful protests to present grievances and protest grievous injury. During more than 40 years of demonstrating, I have managed to remain injury-free not so much due to police restraint as to the nonviolent nature of the demonstrations in which Ive participated. I have been a participant in Occupy Sacramento and have been impressed with the mutual respect shown by both occupiers and police. That Occupy Oakland met with a police response that included the use of Flash Bang Grenades and other dangerous devices is out of character with even the most outrageous responses in any of the other occupy cities. It puts a black mark on Oakland, one which extends to all of Northern California, if not the whole state. I urge you to take steps to rein in the overreaction shown by the police. Your unfortunate comments which seem to support that action fly in the face of your reputation as a progressive. Thank you, Jack Tracey Life Member, Veterans of Foreign Wars Life Member, Vietnam Veterans of America Life Member, Vietnam Veterans Against the War

Our collective experience tells us that most wars have been based on lies, and that they have little to do with our National Security and more to do with Economic and/or Political Hegemony interests of Corporations and the Military Industrial Complex. Too, many of our soldiers and friends have died, been wounded, or mentally scarred defending what they believed were the fundamental truths or propositions that were supposed to serve as the foundations for what is to our Democracy. The right to free speech, and free assembly to air our grievances when those right have been abridged. Thus, your ordering of the Raid on Occupy Oakland in the middle of the evening under the cover of darkness, smells to high heaven as one of the worse trespasses on those rights since the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 60s and 70s. Your actions and the actions of the Oakland Police are not dissimilar to the secret police of the former Soviet
1505
Union, the Fascists of German and Italy or the dictators of any number of countries whom we have charged with Human Rights Violations for attacking their peaceful protests such as in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria. Governments have been overthrown for such actions, and in this case if you continue on this course, you should be recalled from office. Your only atonement would be to apologize and compensate those arrested and those whose tents and personal belongings have been trashed. This has been an affront to our so-called "Democracy" the whole world has been watching, see links and posts below. You will see, that one of our brave members Scott Olsen was seriously injured with a fractured skull, let us pray that he will recover without any serious complications. Let it be known that Veterans For Peace along with our friends and supporters are very much in support of the Occupy Movements taking place across the country which iis a force that is spreading across the globe. Either you support our Constitution and the Right therein or you are against the very people your are sworn to represent and protect and a traitor to your office. I hope you will recognize your error of judgment and that you apologize and repair the damage, and allow for the return of the occupiers.

I just got off the phone with VFP Chapter 69 member Josh Sheperd, who was at 14th and Broadway in Oakland early this morning and witnessed much of what happened. Josh said that after receiving several text messages with news of the Oakland PD taking down tents and arresting people, he decided to go to downtown Oakland and "see if, as a VFP member, I could help still the anger...to be between the police and the protesters...it seemed unconscionable to me that the police use the cover of darkness like that to do what they were doing." He got to the front of the crowd (see photo link, above) and said he "felt a lot of tension in the air." Shortly thereafter a barrage of "less than lethal" ordnance, tear gas, bean bags and flash-bangs was fired. He and the people he was with took off, regrouped, marched through part of downtown and returned to 14th and Broadway. There, he went to the front of the crowd immediately, waving the VFP flag. He said the crowd seemed considerably calmer. "It might be just my impression, but there seemed to be a considerable desire for peace and the crowd expressed that." Next, the Oakland PD issued the "you're going to get arrested if you don't leave" warning. Shortly after that, Josh said, "People in the rear of the crowd threw eggs at the police and that was the OPD's cue to fire another barrage." In that barrage, VFP and IVAW member, Scott Olsen was struck in the head with some sort of projectile and was severely injured. Josh reports that Scott was admitted to hospital and has a fractured skull. His condition is stable but serious. Here are two videos, one showing Scott, wearing a VFP shirt, being carried away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMUgPTCgwcQ&feature=youtu.be The other has some slow motion footage that shows flash-bangs being thrown by the police, including one into a group of people standing around someone in the street. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNOPZLw03Q&feature=youtu.be It's unclear whether that person is Scott Olsen or not.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. This was an absurd over-reaction from a supposedly progressive Mayor who knows better. Shame!

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Has anyone watched the news briefing on KTVU 2? First let me say that I am not 100% with the 99%. That being said, it almost feels as if they check every box in terms of diversity (Quan, Boyd, Santana and Jordan). They covered the right to free speech, coveried potential vectors/bio-hazards, justifying police action, and setting the stage to move forward. Anyone feel bamboozled?

Greetings again, I would also like to add the request that the City of Oakland at once begin hearings on the use of force by the Oakland Police Department, and allow testimony by the public to be submitted both orally and in video/audio/written formats. In particular, I think it is high time the City face the fact that it has failed crowd control protocols. Too often City Leaders rely on law-enforcement heavy solutions to public safety problems. When this happens, those in charge become blinded to solutions, and, to flip an old saying, when everything looks like a nail, they break out their hammers... Part of the review should include when less than lethal force is authorized, by whom (and how they can be held accountable after the fact), and the use of rifles of any kind (shotgun, bean bag projectile, etc) as a means of close quarters crowd control (see the pictures below). Also, I would like the serious problem of steroid abuse amongst law enforcement officers, and the problems inherent with its use (including overly aggressive behavior in crowd control situations) to be investigated, and protocols put in place on testing officers for these types of drug(s), especially after, but not limited to, a major incident.

Here is a picture of an injured protester: source: http://twitpic.com/75wrpb Perhaps the City Administrator's office might have missed this volley of flash-bang grenades thrown into the crowd of protesters at close range... even when they were attempting to help a fallen comrade who was clearly in pain in the street. This footage aired last night on KTVU: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkQ80BB-P0o
By the way, that man being carried out is a veteran. This is not the first time OPD, and staff working with OPD, have misrepresented police actions at a demonstration. The

Oakland Police Department acted in a ruthless and reckless fashion last night, to the detriment of many injured Oaklanders who were exercising their First Amendment rights. I am disappointed in Mayor Jean Quan for ordering this action, City Administrator Deanna Santana & Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan for implementing it, and any other City official who doesn't condemn these violent actions against non-violent protesters in our City. The Occupy Oakland protests represent the frustration many folks have with the current political landscape. Regardless of whether you agree with that perspective, they have a right to vocalize it in a peaceful manner. Its the City's responsibility to work with demonstrators and help facilitated their First Amendment rights, not to shut them down, and certainly not to harm them with batons, projectiles, gas, and grenades. This was truly a sad day for the City of Oakland. -Joel on Arizona

10/25 11:50pm Dear Neighbors, I'm getting many questions about "Occupy Oakland" and the City's response tonight. I respected the directive to vacate the City Hall area this afternoon, so have not yet had all my questions answered nor had a detailed briefing, but I do want to share with you the information I have received from the Oakland Police Department and City Administrator tonight: "At approximately 4:00pm this afternoon, Occupy Oakland protesters began convening in front of the Oakland Library located at 125-14th Street. The group of approximately 400 500 protesters began to move in the direction between 14th and Broadway, and 7th and Broadway. Protesters in the area of 7th and Broadway began throwing paint or other hazardous material at the officers who deployed gas as a defense tactic. At approximately 7:45pm, officers began to deploy gas after issuing the order to disperse. We have received no reports of injuries at the time of this release [10/25 at 8:30pm]. "The City remains committed to respecting free speech as well as maintaining the Citys responsibility to protect public health and safety. At this time, the Plaza is closed to the public while Public Works cleans up hazardous waste and debris. For instance, it is known that there is human waste on the sidewalks and head and body lice, bed bugs that need to be cleaned and sanitized before the Plaza can be reopened to the public. Rodent/Vector will be brought in to exterminate. Once the plaza is deemed safe, it will be available for peaceful daytime assembly between the hours of 6 am and 10 pm. but no camping or overnight stays will be permitted. The Citys goal is to clean up the Plaza to facilitate free assembly." A more detailed memo is attached. A later communication I received at 10:13pm states the crowd is currently peaceful and dispersing and approximately five arrests had been made since noon. This incident and the Occupy movement inspire strong feelings in many of us. I welcome your questions and comments about this difficult situation in Oakland tonight. Best, Libby Schaaf, Councilmember District 4 (510) 238-7004 __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (5)

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. It is the Mayor of Oakland who needs education on free speech rights and non-violence.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Doesn't the constitution guarantee the right to peaceful assembly? I didn't hear of any disturbing behavior so why the attack?

Mayor Quan - I do not understand how you can be so obtuse about your position relative to the Occupy movement across the world. #1 - This is not something that is simply affecting Oakland - its affecting EVERYONE. #2 - Are you surprised that there is deep-seated resentment, frustration and vitriol in a time where there is over 16% underemployment, job growth is stagnant, our political system is ideologically divided like no time in history and the wealthy clearly are receiving quid pro quo deals with various members of congress to ensure our democracy is only for a few instead of the many? #3 - Not only is your position non-sensical, its a tremendous missed opportunity politically. These people are working class Americans who just want their voice heard...why are you so afraid to go out and talk to these people? They are your constituents and you seem to have forgotten that. #4 - You're spending a LOT of money on operations and police for non-violent protesters while Oakland has tremendous REAL crime issues. You're using poor judgement in your allocation of resources. I suggest that you step down and save everyone else the trouble of recalling you. You have proven to be an ineffective mayor and your term will be forever plagued with this scandal. Its embarrassing. Its a blight on our country. It takes courage to do the right thing. Step down. ~I acknowledge class warfare exists

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Ximena Sarango 236a Clinton Park San Francisco, CA 94103-2343

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I'm appalled at the actions of the Oakland police department! These are some of the worst beatings that have occurred in any of the occupy movements nationwide! The mayor should be held to account for the actions that took place as a direct result of her orders!

Shame on you and your kind that would prevent the flourishing of democracy.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. The police crackdown is unwarranted and dangerous!

I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I believe that people have a right to occupy their public areas. The police and government are supposed to be at the service of the people, not exert martial control over the citizens. They could help, rather than impede. It's interesting to see how once people really start exercising their rights in an impacting way, we suddenly realize that maybe we are not as free as we have been told.

I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I work two blocks away from Oscar Grant Plaza in Oakland. I had been walking by the protestors for weeks without any reason to feel fear. Then, over the course of one day, the police presence in Oscar Grant Plaza, with their riot gear, tear gas, and rubber bullets, brought things to a violent head. The police are supposed to protect and serve! Instead, they filled our peaceful streets with poison gas. Stop the crackdown NOW, Oakland officials, so that me and my fellow nonviolent community members can feel safe once more in our streets, homes, and workplaces.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I was leaving from school Last night right before this all happened and the protestors were there peacefully, I even thought to myself "wow!they are doing such a great job protesting peacefully". Police officers are SO wrong, what is it about certain Oakland police officers? And what is up with the new city Mayor, cant she take a stand and allow the protestors to remain there peacefully?, I thought she was a new/better type of leadership..

To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. The right to petition against grievances is one of the most basic of the rights listed in the constitution and Bill of rights. These demonstrations, so far, have been the ultimate expression of democratic voting we have seen.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza.

I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. 100% committed to those who oppose the loss of equality in America..we all must take a stand and be heard or corporate America will write all the laws.

There seems to be NOBODY in government, local, state, or federal who wants to do the decent thing for its citizens. People are protesting for the justice they KNOW are lacking in big business which has in reality become the government. Any government official that seems to want to support the protesters then changes his or her support is a coward and is cowtowing to the "higher ups." This is OBSCENE!!! In this country, we have always had the RIGHT to protest when things are WRONG! Our we going to be a third world country like Iran and other countries not to be able to participate in our own opinions? Is this what's REALLY going on? You, the government should be ASHAMED!

You are one sick individual. This is what peaceful eviction looks like to you? How do you sleep at night? Step down and make room for a "peaceful" mayor. The WORLD IS WATCHING. Shame on you and the jack-booted thugs following your unconstitutional dictates.

Dear Glenfriends, I have been at Occupy (my tent was taken but I was not there Monday night), got gassed last night, and have worked with the OO Communication Committee. My understanding is that Jean Quan has directed the police to stand down and allow the Occupy Oakland General Assembly to go forward tonight starting at 6PM in the Plaza, and going on likely for at least a couple hours, as long as there is no violent behavior. She arrived late last night from D. C., and has put out a call to for all peaceful Occupy Oakland supporters to come out and assure that nobody causes violence that could force the police to act. I'll be there and hope you can spread the word to your friends and neighbors quickly, as we need to take some responsibility for discouraging the small group that might provoke a reaction. Thanks.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Protesters that are doing this should not have to be brutally beaten by police. Obviously this occupy Wall St. is having a big impact on America. The corporations are starting to feel the heat. I can only really fear what they'll do next. But if people continue to stand up bravely, things will change! Although it might not be exactly what we want right away, things will change over time. I support this change.

The more you suppress 1st Amendment assemblies, the more not only East Bay will focus on what the 1% are up to in Oakland, but people around the world will realize that your city is a hotbed of corporate-inspired violence, rather than a center of progressive conscience and diversity. Can you say with a straight face that the attack was for "public health and safety"?

I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. I work on the Plaza and can see all of the action from my 11th floor window. following this demonstration of peaceful citizens from the beginning. I've been
On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. We are Americans with Constitutional rights that cannot be trampled by local bullies whose pay comes from our taxes. Stop terrorizing peaceful citizens and get on with the very serious business of addressing what makes Oaklanders feel truly unsafe! Hint: it isn't a bunch of campers with tents and drums. Shame on you, Mayor Quan! Shame on you, OPD (and all other cities that sent "peace officers" to make war on American citizens.) You all are the terrorists now! I'm certain all the citizens of Oakland felt much safer during last night's melee, than they did when folks were contentedly contained inside of a plaza not really disturbing anyone's life certainly not in the way OPD disturbed so many people's lives last night. And, fyi, that includes loads of people that weren't involved with Occupy. I imagine your impressive show of brute force has inspired the formerly uninvolved to get involved. Thanks!

Dear Mayor Quan, As the vice president of Veterans for Peace San Francisco, I demand that you stop attacking Occupy Oakland. There was no need to do so; the "issues" of "safety" your police quoted were not the emergency claimed and could have been addressed far short of the use of force. One of our own, Scott Olson, was hit in the head by a police weapon and is in critical condition in the hospital. Scott served two tours in Iraq as a U.S. Marine, and is a member both of Veterans for Peace (video of the incident shows him wearing a VFP shirt) and Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). The attack on him will not be forgotten, and I assure you that we will take this to the media in a very loud and clear way. I demand that you order your police to stand down immediately from this unjustified attack on the basic right of free speech for which Scott fought for in Iraq, which was betrayed by our national government in sending him there, and now by your local government in physically attacking his and everyone's right to speak out.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Well, for a start, I imagine they include the few major corporations still here, the Port of Oakland which has way overspent in Jack London Square and is probably desperate to keep things calm, the police who use their obsession with order and obedience to mask their own fears, and the post-9/11 paranoia around government buildings. = Mike Bradley <http://www.ourfutur e.org/blog- entry/2011093928 /progressive- breakfast> Progressive Breakfast I have minimal understanding of politics!!!

From: glenfriends@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:glenfriends@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Libby Schaaf Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 11:55 PM To: snosakhare@oaklandn et.com; ddperez@oaklandnet. com; Bruce Stoffmacher Subject: [glenfriends] Occupy Oakland update 10/25 11:50pm Dear Neighbors, I'm getting many questions about "Occupy Oakland" and the City's response tonight. I respected the directive to vacate the City Hall area this afternoon, so have not yet had all my questions answered nor had a detailed briefing, but I do want to share with you the information I have received from the Oakland Police Department and City Administrator tonight: "At approximately 4:00pm this afternoon, "Occupy Oakland" protesters began convening in front of the Oakland Library located at 125-14th Street. The group of approximately 400 - 500 protesters began to move in the direction between 14th and Broadway, and 7th and Broadway. Protesters in the area of 7th and Broadway began throwing paint or other hazardous material at the officers who deployed gas as a defense tactic. At approximately 7:45pm, officers began to deploy gas after issuing the order to disperse. We have received no reports of injuries at the time of this release [10/25 at 8:30pm]. "The City remains committed to respecting free speech as well as maintaining the City's responsibility to protect public health and safety. At this time, the Plaza is closed to the public while Public Works cleans up hazardous waste and debris. For instance, it is known that there is human waste on the sidewalks and head and body lice, bed bugs that need to be cleaned and sanitized before the Plaza can be reopened to the public. Rodent/Vector will be brought in to exterminate. Once the plaza is deemed safe, it will be available for peaceful daytime assembly between the hours of 6 am and 10 pm. but no camping or overnight stays will be permitted. The City's goal is to clean up the Plaza to facilitate free assembly." A more detailed memo is attached. A later communication I received at 10:13pm states the crowd is currently peaceful and dispersing and approximately five arrests had been made since noon. This incident and the Occupy movement inspire strong feelings in many of us. I welcome your questions and comments about this difficult situation in Oakland tonight.

wow, she wasn't even in town? i was listening to NPR this morning and it got me to thinking... if the main concern was indeed to keep things sanitary, with rumors of people going to the bathroom in the streets, garbage, uncleanly cooking and rats, then jean herself should have gotten up on the podium and said something to the effect of... "we as a city promote peaceful assembly but we have some serious concerns over sanitation. as many of you know, oakland is in grave financial straights and cannot afford to keep the encampment up to acceptable public health standards. we have identified the following issues that could lead to us having no choice but to forcibly shut down the occupy oakland encampments. as a collective group, you must find a way and the funds to bring in rental outhouses, cleaning stations, garbage pickup, etc. if you follow on these demands to the city's health standards, you are free to stay. inability to satisfy these concerns will leave us no choice but to shut down the encampments" . at least this way, the city's grievances have been voiced and the ultimatum made clear.

Shame on Oakland? Posted by: "Rolf Pedersen" rolfpedersen@mindspring.com rolf94602

Wed Oct 26, 2011 9:42 am (PDT)
While civil disobedience might very well be a legitimate social tool, I'd suggest the "mature" philosophy would recognize that breaking the law is not without consequence. Civil disobedience is not about breaking the law with impunity. I'd suggest the Oakland revision of Occupy Wall Street does a disservice to what might be the legitimate core of this initiative. As modest counterpoint to "the police are lying" rationale, I submit the following. Rolf Take the case of Dana Frasz, a 27-year-old from Maine who is passionate about social change and is trying to start a food recovery organization in Oakland to help feed people. When she showed up at the protest and asked a woman how she could help, the woman shouted, Get out of my face right now! Fraszs friends, meantime, were put off by marches and meetings in which the constant refrain was, (Expletive) this, (expletive) that, (expletive) the police. I understand that people are angry; I get it, everyones angry, said Frasz. Im completely supportive of the movement, but I dont think my experience or the way that Occupy Oakland is being run is a reflection of themovement overall.Many others seem to agree. Russ Tilleman, a 52-year-old retired engineer and self-described activist, worked briefly to assist the movement with its media relations until a couple of the more radical people inside the camp threatened his life repeatedly. He now only shows up with friends who can help him out if hes threatened again. It was Tilleman who helped defend a young photography student who was at the movement to document the faces of some of the protesters. The student was also threatened and had to leave. These are not isolated incidents.

The number of protester injuries was not immediately known, but there was an unconfirmed report from a first-responder on the scene that a protester was struck in the head by a tear-gas canister. Two officers were hurt when protesters splattered them with paint. By mid-evening the crowd had not dispersed, and an earlier tweet by Occupy Oakland organizers gave locations where the group wanted people to congregate and urged demonstrators to "bring bottles." - http://www.insideba yarea.com/ top-stories/ ci_19188593? source=pkg

Wow. That's really not what happened. I saw it on livestream, and those sparks were clearly coming from things POLICE were throwing at the protesters.

Wed Oct 26, 2011 11:34 am (PDT)
It would be good to hear from someone who was there. Last night, I got there after work, but had to leave early to watch the news coverage at 6 p.m.. (Catching the #18 to get home was a nightmare on Broadway.) Between Channel 2 and 4, which had the longest coverage, the media seemed sympathetic to the protesters. The reporters stayed with them and also felt the effects of the tear gas. I seriously think these police from different County areas should have kept their cool, shielded themselves with their plastic shields from any flying objects, and not used tear gas and rubber or bean bag bullets last night or at the encampments as their first reactions. The police should have showed more self control and not antagonized the protesters, who were understandably angry. Not only are the OOers and protestors upset, but so are many in the community and union members who were present yesterday. However, there were some OOers who are antagonistic to the media. This is understandable too, but one newscaster said he was spit upon last night and I witnessed an NBC
1917
cameraman near me in the previous week get harrassed at OO while he asked them, "What about freedom of the press?" It's true that not all OOers are the same. It is a very mixed group, but it is not the same as the Oscar Grant protesters. This group avoided the mistakes made by outside agitators during the Oscar Grant riots. I think more experienced activists and union organizers helped make sure of that.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Cairo's police must of trained Oakland's. Seriously OPD is like many PDs. They have a pack mentality. If one loose cannon gets crazy.. well you saw what happens. Quan's a sad example, I'll just leave it at that.

I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Oakland police are well-known for their quick jumps to force when none is called for, and this past year they have only been escalating. By giving the protesters virtually no notice and expecting all to disperse from a twoweek camped rally with no effort made to find a middle ground, I believe Mayor Quan herself is responsible for this outcome. To those who antagonized the police at the front line (yelling "eff u" etc.), you may hold some blame for the level of violence that occurred (you should have known better). I'm in no way excusing the actions of the police. I'm saying that some people in the crowd felt safe because they were part of a crowd, and so mouthed off to known bullies in riot gear. If you're allowed to regroup, I hope you'll be more thoughtful next time.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. It really is too bad that those who've gotten rich by stealing from the rest of us don't like being confronted with the results of their actions...but everyone needs to grow up sometime. It is a public space, and the public has the right to use it to express their opinions.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Dear Mayor Quan and City Council: I emailed a complaint yesterday about the police handling (multi-agency) of the Occupy encampment in downtown Oakland. I'm sure you all have seen the national news coverage of it - not very flattering. No spin will remedy the damage to the City of Oakland's reputation of the inept police actions that took place. As much as I am disappointed in the leadership of our city with regard to this situation, I want to share general information about the Occupy movement that might help with an understanding that this effort is a "teaching moment" for our community - not an excuse for continued mishandling by police. I am not anti-police. I am anti-violence and ignorance on the part of our police department, which after 10 years plus, still hasn't complied with the federal consent decree it signed. Shame shame. That said here is some information: 1. a live feed camera, which is a wondow on the Occupy efforts and a live tweet feed from around the world http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution 2. a legal "fact sheet" link developed in NY, most of which applies in Oakland: http://www.nycga.net/resources/legal-fact-sheet/ 3. link to the "principles of solidarity" working draft - which explains what the intention of Occupy is: http://www.nycga.net/about/ And you can take it from there. The Occupy movement is not about Oakland, or Sacramento, or any other particular city in the U.S. It's about fairness to all Americans. Surely you as elected officials can embrace this concept and instruct our City servants to embrace and respect it as well. And surely as elected officials you have the authority and moral prerogative to prohibit public servants especially police agencies - to stop all violence. There is simply no excuse or use for it. Sincerely yours, Sue Taylor 6255 Broadway Terrace Oakland, CA 94618-2103

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. Because Oakland is where I live and I am so ashamed of this Mayor and the Police Dept. going along with her orders.She already screwed- up our Police Dept..If our Police Chief had not resigned I don't believe this would have happened.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

This is what democracy looks like. The whole world is watching.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am appalled at the psychotic, thuggish, and murderous intent and behavior of your police officers. They should all feel deeply ashamed for their villianous behavior, and punished to the fullest of the fullest extent of the law.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

As a middle-aged, ostensibly middle-class woman I am outraged by the behavior of the Oakland city government in this instance!!!! The Occupy movement is the ONLY thing that gives me any hope at ALL these days of ANY future correction in this increasingly corrupt society. I feel as though we are all living in what is essentially a "Banana Republic".....moving towards a true Feudal State. Only the inspiration behind the Occupy movement can prevent this ultimately fatal descent.......a descent which has been accelerating for the last 30 years! They should only be supported!!

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. The Occupy Oakland is a PEACEFUL/NON-VIOLENT demonstration and remained so until the police brought the violence and released it onto the protestors. There were children, disabled, and elderly people in the crowd when the police threw tear gas and flash grenades. The rights and changes that the occupy Oakland demonstrators are asking for will not only benefit the majority of Oakland and Bay Area residents but would also benefit the police officers that are carrying out these outrageous orders!

From: Sent: To: Subject: Stuart Armor [armorstuart@gmail.com] Wednesday, October 26, 2011 6:13 PM jeanquan4@gmail.com Mayor Quan, an inquiry from a concerned citizen
Could this possibly be true? Is any part or portion of this report even partially accurate? "Scott Olsen is a 24-year old former marine and a member of Veterans for Peace. He served 2 tours in Iraq and came home safe. Then, in Oakland, he was struck in the head by a rubber bullet or other "non-lethal" projectile, fracturing his skull and damaging his brain. When others tried to help him, they too were deliberately shot with rubber bullets and flash bang grenades. Scott remains unconscious and in critical condition, suffering from brain swelling." I can't believe that it could of been any one's intention to use lethal force on unarmed protesters, but if even any part of this is true, I hope we can count on you to hold the officers and officials responsible for this accountable. I am well aware of how difficult the job of police officer can be, but this can not be considered acceptable in the United States of America. I am not asking you to respond to me personally, but I ask you to respond publicly to the citizens of Oakland on this matter. Thanking you for your time, Stuart Armor

That's is just soooo wrong for her to give those kind of orders and to do those things to the peaceful protestorsespecially without warning! Where does she suppose they go protest? She is totally violating their rights to peacefully assemble and protest.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, laurie baumgarten 2702 Function St. Berkeley, CA 94705

Was this the same projectile type that they used at the port? A 24-year-old Iraq War veteran was critically injured by a projectile that struck him in the head during the chaotic conflict Tuesday night. Police Chief Howard Jordan says an internal review board and local prosecutors have been asked to determine if officers on the scene used excessive force. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. A clash between Oakland police and Occupy Wall Street protesters left an Iraq War veteran in critical condition Wednesday after a projectile struck him in a conflict that came as tensions intensified over demonstrators' encampments across the San Francisco Bay Area. Scott Olsen, 24, suffered a fractured skull Tuesday in a march with other protesters toward City Hall, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. The demonstrators had been making an attempt to reestablish a presence in the area of a disbanded protesters' camp when they were met by officers in riot gear. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/26/scott-olsen-iraq-war-veteran-injured_n_1034003.html __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1)

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I believe thatt the Occupy movement is really important to keep nonviolent - on all sides. If governmental/police crackdowns bring in violence, it's equally important to raise our voices in vocal protest.

On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Jan Zoya 2005 Ivar Ave Apt 17 Los Angeles, CA 90068-4201

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER!

WHY the 180 degree turn around, first Quan "allows" it, then she orders police to attack brutally while the protestors sleep? Did Quans handlers, her bosses tell her to do this? Time for a recall in Oakland. Do the police think they did the right thing or are the just following orders like the brownshirts and Gestapo that they resemble? When are police going to stop following illegal orders and think for themselves?

Occupy Oakland Activity Update
Oakland, CA. At 9:15pm, Police Chief Howard Jordan addressed members of the press to provide an update on the Occupy Oakland Operation in the City of Oakland . The City is committed to facilitating peaceful protests and constitutional policing stated Chief Jordan. He went on to say that the number of protesters had reached upward of 1000 individuals. It was reiterated that the action to remove the camp was based on health and public safety concerns. Also in attendance were Council President Larry Reid and Council Member Ignacio De La Fuente. Mr. De La Fuente commended the Oakland Police Department and City Administration for taking steps to ensure the health and public safety of all residents, including the protesters.
During the evening protest, a number of officers were assaulted, doused with hazardous materials and hit with large rocks and bottles, which resulted in the declaration of an unlawful assembly and the order to disperse. To assist in the dispersal efforts, officers used less lethal force tactics.
2214
At approximately 10:00pm this evening, a group of approximately 300 protesters in the area of Frank Ogawa Plaza began throwing large rocks and bottles at officers after receiving the order to disperse, which again prompted the use of less than lethal munitions. At the time of this release, there are approximately 200-300 protesters in the area of 14th and Broadway and enforcement efforts are continuing.
The next media briefing will take place tomorrow morning at a time to be determined.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I support the cause.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers.

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Keep in mind that "we" are the 99%. There are many of us who won't mind joining the Oakland movement to show support. You need to mediate any immediate concerns to allow peaceful protest to continue. This is in everyones best interest, Keep the Peace. Sincerely, Sharon Govern 105 Faull Ave Ukiah, CA 95482-6520

Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more disturbing that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force.

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. I am shocked and dismayed at the utter lack of leadership from your office and the brutality of the attack on protesters. You knowingly endangered the lives of people that were peacefully protesting. This was nothing but shameful and your office needs to allow the protesters back into their camp now!

From: Sent: To: Subject: Ella Baker Center for Human Rights [list@ellabakercenter.org] on behalf of Andreas Wittenstein [andreas@bitjazz.com] Wednesday, October 26, 2011 6:30 PM Quan, Jean This Movement is too Big to Jail
Oct 26, 2011 Mayor Jean Quan Dear Mayor Quan, I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Occupy protestors world wide, and especially with the local activists who have a right to peacefully protest. I am outraged and saddened by the City of Oakland's tactics in addressing Occupy Oakland. On Tuesday, October 25th you allowed a pre-dawn raid of the Occupy Oakland camps at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park. That evening, you allowed police to wage a violent and unwarranted attack on people simply exercising their freedom of speech and right to assembly. The use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades were completely unnecessary. Oakland has a long history of protest. That makes it even more shocking that our city so completely mishandled the Occupy Oakland protestors. Your approach only made matters worse. Therefore I demand that you: - Direct Oakland Police to cease the use of force against peaceful protestors. - Tell the Alameda D.A. to drop all charges against those arrested for peaceful protest and release them immediately. - Allow for the return of peaceful Occupy activists to City Hall Plaza and attend other public rallies, marches and gatherings without threat of excessive force. Sincerely, Andreas Wittenstein PO Box 570 Woodacre, CA 94973-0570

, I strongly condemn the brutal crackdown on Occupy Oakland protestors, authorized by your office, which turned a peaceful protest into a war zone. You must immediately cite and release the arrested protesters, fire the decision-makers who authorized the use of authoritarian police tactics, allow the occupiers to immediately resume their around-the-clock protest at Oscar Grant Plaza, and remunerate protestors for the destruction of property at the hands of Oakland-area police officers. In the early hours of October 25, hundreds of baton-wielding officers assaulted protesters and members of the media with tear gas before arresting dozens of protestors and destroying the encampment at Oscar Grant Plaza. Some protestors report the use of flash grenades and rubber bullets during the early morning raid on the plaza. To add insult to injury, instead of citing the arrested protestors and releasing them on their own recognizance, police are holding them in jail until an October 27th arraignment, where they will have to pay a $10,000 bond to be released. These harsh measures are completely out of proportion to the peaceful assembly at Oscar Grant Plaza. Ultimate responsibility for the heavy-handed police response lies in your hands. I urge you to do the right thing and allow Occupy Oakland to keep Oscar Grant Plaza. this is not OK what you have done to our city, our people, shame on you Mayor Quan...shame

I expect that outside this country but certainly not inside this country that I, as well as the veteran who was injured , served to protect!
