DESCRIPTION:Judge Thelton Henderson is hearing arguments for and against putting the 
 Oakland Police Department under a Federal Receivership.\n\nOutside the 
 Federal District Court in San Francisco, 450 Golden Gate Ave. December 
 13th, starting at 8:30 AM (until ~ Noon)\n\nCalled for by The Justice For 
 Alan Blueford Coalition.\nPress Conference to be Held Jointly by the 
 Justice For Alan Blueford Coalition and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement 
 (Oakland Chapter).\n\nThis is history in the making. No police department 
 in the history of the United States has ever been put under the control of 
 a Federal Judge. The fact that such a step is even being considered is a 
 stinging indictment of the Oakland Police, in particular their racist, 
 unconstitutional approach to policing. The whole world will be watching 
 these proceedings.\n\nAlan Blueford, an 18 year old Oakland high school 
 student about to graduate, was murdered by an Oakland policeman on May 6th 
 2012 following an unconstitutional ‘stop & frisk.’ Many other young men 
 of color have been killed in similar circumstances over the years. These 
 deaths are a direct result of OPD’s inability to act constitutionally, 
 avoid racial bias and control its trigger-happy officers.\n\nThe Justice 4 
 Alan Blueford Coalition demands that whatever steps are ultimately taken to 
 control OPD’s illegal practices, that they include sufficient safeguards 
 to insure:\n— there are no more wrongful killings and\n— the end of the 
 racial profiling, rampant in OPD, which ultimately\nresulted in the tragedy 
 of Alan’s murder.\n\nWe demand Justice 4 Alan Blueford! We demand an end 
 to police violence! We cannot have any more killing of our children by OPD! 
 AND WE WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW IT. We will not stop, federal control or no, 
 until OPD stops harassing, beating and killing young men of color of 
 Oakland.\n\nCOME JOIN US. MAKE SURE THE WORLD HEARS ALL OF OUR 
 VOICES!\n\nBackground Links\n\nFederal court is asked to put Oakland Police 
 Department in receivership.\n\nAre The Oakland Police Going Down At last? 
 At Long Last?\n\nAllen v City of Oakland\n
