DESCRIPTION:\n      BLUEFORD FAMILY TO CALL ON CITY AND NEW POLICE CHIEF FOR\n          
    ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OPD, JUSTICE FOR THEIR SON.\n\n \nMay 16th, at 3:00 
 PM on the steps of Oakland City Hall: Adam and Jeralynn Blueford, the 
 parents of 18 year old Alan Blueford killed at the hands of Oakland Police 
 Officer Miguel Masso on 5/6/12, standing with the Justice 4 Alan Blueford 
 Coalition, will hold a press conference to once again demand justice for 
 their son, present over 1800 petition signatures for the firing of Miguel 
 Masso, and call for accountability from OPD.\n\n\n \nThe recent reports by 
 the Compliance Director and Wasserman Consulting and the subsequent shake 
 up in the Oakland Police forced upon it from outside demonstrate 
 unequivocally that OPD has never been accountable. With a culture that 
 brooks no dissent or tolerance for the calling out of misdeeds - 
 highlighted by the CD's report - OPD officers like Miguel Masso have known 
 that they can get away with anything - including murder. \n\nNot only is 
 OPD internally dysfunctional, it also fails at protecting the community. 
 Consuming as it does 42% of the city budget, it still is incapable of 
 prioritizing the investigation of most crimes, including 13,000 
 burglaries.\n\nThis all must stop. Now.\n\nThe Blueford family calls upon 
 the City Administration and the new Police Chief to fire Miguel Masso. 
 Accountability for OPD will only begin to manifest itself when rogue police 
 like Masso are held responsible for their actions. Oakland will start to 
 become safer when the people don't have to fear violence from the police 
 and are able to actually trust them to do the right thing.\n\nJeralynn 
 Blueford, demanding justice and accountability from OPD, said\n\n"Masso 
 stood over my son and fired three bullets into him, claiming Alan had shot 
 him, when the truth is Masso shot himself in the foot. My son's last words 
 were 'I didn't do anything.'  He never fired at Masso. He didn't do 
 anything but run. I demand justice for my child!"\n
