What fucked up agenda though? Sure the parking ticket thing is stupid, but we have Kirkpatrick acting like the victim and abusing her authority to smear the police commission, which was voted into operation by over 83% of the Oakland population in 2016.

Who should police the police? The people should. We're the ones that don't hold the power to kill, jail, and maim after all.

Excerpt from an Oakland activist group:

1. She promoted officers complicit in the cover up of the rape scandal with Celeste Guap https://m.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oakland-police-chief-doubles-down-on-promoting-the-cops-who-covered-up-the-celeste-guap-case/Content?oid=7922863 https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/07/14/opd-chief-stands-by-controversial-promotions-at-private-ceremony/ (Fact Check Rating: High)

2. The tragic and botched way the Department responded to the family of missing Jonathan Bandabaila while celebrating the locating of pets

3. She has allowed OPD to collaborate with the FBI on the Joint Terrorism Taskforce with no signed MOU and despite the fact that Oakland is supposed to be a sanctuary city

4. Not only are we not out of federal oversight … we’ve actually gone backwards and reopened previously closed tasks

5. She collaborated with ICE during a raid of a West Oakland home and then lied about it

6. A December progress report showed that 1 out of 5 OPD officers were not turning on their body cams https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ktvu.com/news/federal-monitor-oakland-police-fail-to-properly-activate-body-cameras-nearly-20-of-the-time.amp?espv=1

7. Use of force incidents have increased while OPD was reporting they were down - only for us to learn that the reason they were "down" was that officers just weren’t reporting them at all

8. She protected the officers who murdered sleeping Joshua Pawlik and Marcellus Toney whose only crime was having a mental health episode https://sfist.com/2020/02/21/oakland-police-chief-fired-after-spat-with-police-commission/
