Citing Liability, Oakland City Attorney Puts a Lid on Public Hearing
The Oakland Police Department's violent attacks on non-violent demonstrators during a demonstration on 4/7, which received condemnation from Amnesty International, is being met with resistance. On Apr 26 a union-led rally is being held against the brutality suffered by ILWU members and activists, along with an Injured Protester Feeder March. In an attempt to highlight the daily violence inflicted upon low-income and mostly people of color communities, a community forum is being organized for Apr 28 to discuss responses and make policy proposals to the city's public safety committee, which is meeting on Apr 29.
