This is a commission that is long, long overdue. It is time for the Oakland Police Department to join, in the spirit of honest and responsible collaboration, with the community to support a commission that will provide safety for its citizens, as well as its police officers.

We need MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT in Oakland this is a nightmare city you never know when somebody can kill you or not and neighbors or people that had seen the crime would not coraperate because they're affraid of being attack and being treated and might even be killed. OPD need more ENFORCEMENT need to be PATROLING 24/7. This community is not safe and wont be safe until the law makes the MOVE and proctect us the VICTIMS until then people would coraporate with investigation etc. because the law is on our side protecting us not leaving us at our own risk that people can harm us. We need to make an PROTEST because Oakland is out of CONTROL im PLANNING to Call the California GOVERMENT and start sending them Letter because we are all humans have a life people depending on us and our life can end in a little as one second and they'll be no justice because the law is not protecting us! OAKLAND need to be CORRECTED and Have the LAW in their sight not the Deliquents running the CITY They need to PUT a STOP NOW before it'll be too LATE Honestly how can a DRUG CARTEL LORD had the POWER TO CONTROL VIOLENCE AND ADDICTION PROBLEM To MOSt in ONE STATE and OAKLAND JUsTIcE Department and Law can put their enforcement to MAKE OAKLAND a Better place i know its not correctly to compare OAKLAND city to Ex most wanted REFUGEE but honestly OAKLAND NEEDS to do something!!! I dont know how am i going to do this but i'll will my best try to get this to the CALIfORNIA GOVERMENT not only for me but for all of us who are victims in this situations where you are affraid to go outside and breath air because you might get killed or shoot Risking your kids life by walking them to school, bus stop, store, etc. not only our kids are in risk but also any love one we have or anybody doesnt have to be your family! Hopefully OAKLAND would CHANGE we need JUSTICE and LAW by our side for we can be SAFE

this should include the power to fire an officer, the power to push for indictments against officers who've broken the law, and power to rescind any and all pensions from officers who retire under scrutiny for bad acts

police are supposed to protect us. why do we fear them even when we are commiting no crimes? why do police identify as separate citizens from the general public. police are the only gang i worry about in this city.

This is the beginning of major positive changes in Oakland regarding OPD and it's relationship to the citizens of Oakland.
