Oakland Police Headquarters Banner Hang: OPD Guilty of Human Trafficking & Statutory Rape
On June 17, community activists fed up with the mounting revelations of crimes and coverups by Oakland police protested at OPD headquarters, hanging a banner between two flagpoles.
Reporting led by Darwin BondGraham and Ali Winston at the East Bay Express has exposed widespread crimes, corruption, and coverups in the Oakland police department.
In the week following the banner hang, on July 21, a press conference was held in front of the Oakland Police Administration Building and four demands were issued: 1. Community-controlled policing; 2. Defund OPD and invest in the community; 3. Address the child sexual exploitation scandal in a meaningful way; and 4. Resignation of Mayor Libby Schaaf.
