Fatal encounters with the cops in Oakland
By Lynda Carson - June 12, 2020
Oakland - As the protests continue in Oakland against police brutality, and killer cops, the message of the protesters grows, and it is clear that they want to divert funding from the police to the African-American community.
For years Oakland has been troubled with cops since the days of The Riders. In recent years Celeste Guap and her encounters with the cops made plenty of headlines. The recent protests against police brutality, and killer cops, have ironically resulted in more police brutality against the protesters.
Making matters worse, the protests are taking place in the midst of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. These are grim times we live in.
In hope that their fate, and the fate of their relatives and friends will have a prosperous future, equality, and an end to racism, the protesters do not want anymore people to end up having fatal encounters with the cops.
Nor do they want people to have fatal encounters as a result of others having close encounters with the cops in Oakland.
Below is a list of 83 people from the year 2000 to the present who have had fatal encounters with the cops, or they died because others had encounters with the cops.
The list may or may not be complete, but it is what it is.
Hopefully, by sharing this list it will help to give people a better understanding of what has been happening in this city when some people have fatal encounters with the cops.
People have been wiling to place themselves at risk while protesting in the midst of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, and hopefully it will make a difference by saving lives in the future.

By Lynda Carson - June 12, 2020
Oakland - As the protests continue in Oakland against police brutality, and killer cops, the message of the protesters grows, and it is clear that they want to divert funding from the police to the African-American community.
For years Oakland has been troubled with cops since the days of The Riders. In recent years Celeste Guap and her encounters with the cops made plenty of headlines. The recent protests against police brutality, and killer cops, have ironically resulted in more police brutality against the protesters.
Making matters worse, the protests are taking place in the midst of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. These are grim times we live in.
In hope that their fate, and the fate of their relatives and friends will have a prosperous future, equality, and an end to racism, the protesters do not want anymore people to end up having fatal encounters with the cops.
Nor do they want people to have fatal encounters as a result of others having close encounters with the cops in Oakland.
Below is a list of 83 people from the year 2000 to the present who have had fatal encounters with the cops, or they died because others had encounters with the cops.
The list may or may not be complete, but it is what it is.
Hopefully, by sharing this list it will help to give people a better understanding of what has been happening in this city when some people have fatal encounters with the cops.
People have been wiling to place themselves at risk while protesting in the midst of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, and hopefully it will make a difference by saving lives in the future.

Presently, it's possible that the people protesting in the streets currently are up against a program called Iron Fist by the FBI, who believe that African-Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement who protest against the police brutality and killer cops are what they have labeled as 'Black Identity Extremists'.

Monitor blasts Oakland police shootings
By Demian Bulwa and Justin Berton
Updated 11:35 am PDT, Wednesday, October 3, 2012
The monitor, Robert Warshaw, said in a 17-page report that in-house investigations into the shootings often fell short. In most cases, he said, detectives appeared to be "predisposed to the position that the shooting is justified."

After more than a decade of federal monitoring, police in Oakland are still showing signs of racial disparities in enforcement, according to the latest report. Officers, it said, were much more likely to stop and search African Americans than whites, but found suspected contraband more often on whites.
The monitor’s report, released Thursday, said Oakland police stopped 15,407 vehicles between mid-November and mid-May. Blacks were at the wheel 57 percent of the time, whites 11 percentand Latinos 21 percent. During the same period, officers stopped 1,858 pedestrians: 69 percent of them black, 10 percent white and 15 percent Latino.
Oakland’s population, according to the 2010 census, was 28 percent black, 34.5 percent white and 25.4 percent Latino.
The report also found that police searched African American motorists and their vehicles in 28 percent of their stops, compared with 5 percent for whites and 14 percent for Latinos. During pedestrian stops, African Americans were searched 48 percent of the time, whites 21 percent and Latinos 34 percent. The figures covered only searches officers chose to conduct, at their discretion, and did not include searches required by law when a suspect was being arrested or was visibly carrying a weapon.
By contrast, the report said, officers were somewhat more likely to find contraband when searching whites than blacks: 48 percent of the time in vehicle searches involving whites, compared with 46 percent for blacks, and 58 percent for searches of white pedestrians, compared with 42 percent for blacks. The figures for Latinos were 48 percent in vehicle searches and 53 percent in pedestrian searches.

Hundreds in Oakland, Calif., marched this week to demand answers in the June 6 fatal police shooting of an apparently unarmed driver, a case that has become a focal point in the city amid ongoing demonstrations against police brutality following the death of George Floyd.
Erik Salgado, 23, died Saturday after California Highway Patrol officers fired a barrage of gunfire at him and his pregnant girlfriend as they sat in a suspected stolen vehicle, which police say Salgado "rammed" into CHP vehicles. Salgado's girlfriend, identified by Berkeleyside as 23-year-old Brianna Colombo, survived but was seriously injured; family could not be immediately reached Tuesday night regarding whether her baby survived.

Oakland police released body-camera footage Friday in two unrelated incidents that led to suspect deaths, one in which officers fatally shot an alleged carjacker and a second in which a police foot chase ended with a man wedged between two buildings.
The police-edited videos were released to The Chronicle on Friday in response to a Public Records Act request after previous requests for the videos were denied. The Chronicle posted the videos to its websites — SFGate.com and SFChronicle.com — after omitting scenes that showed the bodies.
One video shows police body-cam footage from the Aug. 12 fatal shooting of 24-year-old Nate Wilks on Martin Luther King Jr. Way near 27th Street. The footage was from the body cameras of two of the three officers involved, and each started from when they arrived on the scene and ran until moments after the suspect was shot.
A second set of videos, which were edited for time reasons, showed the July 19 police pursuit of 23-year-old Richard Linyard, who died after getting wedged between two buildings. Police officials used the footage to dispute rumors on social media that Linyard’s death was the result of force by officers.

Oakland has opened an investigation into the handling of a fatal police shooting after lawyers for the officer accused the Police Department and the city attorney's office of withholding a report favorable to the officer, officials said Monday.
The officer's lawyers said independent expert Alexander Jason's report was kept from department investigators who reviewed the Sept. 25 shooting, as well as from the officer himself.
Police Chief Howard Jordan initially ruled in April that the officer, Bryan Franks, should be fired over the shooting in East Oakland, which was filmed by a camera on the officer's chest.
Jordan declined to discuss Jason's report on the killing of 34-year-old Arthur Jarvis Raleigh, who was shot while fleeing from Franks following a traffic stop.

An Oakland police officer shot a man who was armed with a knife Friday, department officials said.
The shooting happened on the 1000 block of 88th Avenue about 9:45 a.m. Two officers in a marked cruiser — one a rookie officer, the other that officer’s field training officer — were on patrol when they were flagged down by a witness reporting a man who was armed with a knife and “acting erratically,” said Officer Frank Bonifacio, an Oakland police spokesman.
The officers found the man, and “a confrontation ensued” that resulted in one of the officers opening fire, Bonifacio said. Officials did not say if it was the rookie or the training officer who shot the man.
The man, identified by relatives as Corey Pollard, 28, was hit by gunfire and taken to a hospital for treatment, but his condition was not immediately known. Family members told reporters at the scene that Pollard had a history of mental illness. They also said he was shot several times.
It was the second shooting involving Oakland police in less than a week, after 20 months without such an incident.

Presently, it's possible that the people protesting in the streets currently are up against a program called Iron Fist by the FBI, who believe that African-Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement who protest against the police brutality and killer cops are what they have labeled as 'Black Identity Extremists'.

After more than a decade of federal monitoring, police in Oakland are still showing signs of racial disparities in enforcement, according to the latest report. Officers, it said, were much more likely to stop and search African Americans than whites, but found suspected contraband more often on whites.
The monitor’s report, released Thursday, said Oakland police stopped 15,407 vehicles between mid-November and mid-May. Blacks were at the wheel 57 percent of the time, whites 11 percentand Latinos 21 percent. During the same period, officers stopped 1,858 pedestrians: 69 percent of them black, 10 percent white and 15 percent Latino.
Oakland’s population, according to the 2010 census, was 28 percent black, 34.5 percent white and 25.4 percent Latino.
The report also found that police searched African American motorists and their vehicles in 28 percent of their stops, compared with 5 percent for whites and 14 percent for Latinos. During pedestrian stops, African Americans were searched 48 percent of the time, whites 21 percent and Latinos 34 percent. The figures covered only searches officers chose to conduct, at their discretion, and did not include searches required by law when a suspect was being arrested or was visibly carrying a weapon.
By contrast, the report said, officers were somewhat more likely to find contraband when searching whites than blacks: 48 percent of the time in vehicle searches involving whites, compared with 46 percent for blacks, and 58 percent for searches of white pedestrians, compared with 42 percent for blacks. The figures for Latinos were 48 percent in vehicle searches and 53 percent in pedestrian searches.

Oakland police released body-camera footage Friday in two unrelated incidents that led to suspect deaths, one in which officers fatally shot an alleged carjacker and a second in which a police foot chase ended with a man wedged between two buildings.
The police-edited videos were released to The Chronicle on Friday in response to a Public Records Act request after previous requests for the videos were denied. The Chronicle posted the videos to its websites — SFGate.com and SFChronicle.com — after omitting scenes that showed the bodies.
One video shows police body-cam footage from the Aug. 12 fatal shooting of 24-year-old Nate Wilks on Martin Luther King Jr. Way near 27th Street. The footage was from the body cameras of two of the three officers involved, and each started from when they arrived on the scene and ran until moments after the suspect was shot.
A second set of videos, which were edited for time reasons, showed the July 19 police pursuit of 23-year-old Richard Linyard, who died after getting wedged between two buildings. Police officials used the footage to dispute rumors on social media that Linyard’s death was the result of force by officers.

Oakland has opened an investigation into the handling of a fatal police shooting after lawyers for the officer accused the Police Department and the city attorney's office of withholding a report favorable to the officer, officials said Monday.
The officer's lawyers said independent expert Alexander Jason's report was kept from department investigators who reviewed the Sept. 25 shooting, as well as from the officer himself.
Police Chief Howard Jordan initially ruled in April that the officer, Bryan Franks, should be fired over the shooting in East Oakland, which was filmed by a camera on the officer's chest.
Jordan declined to discuss Jason's report on the killing of 34-year-old Arthur Jarvis Raleigh, who was shot while fleeing from Franks following a traffic stop.

The family of a man shot and killed last year by four Oakland police officers who said he pointed a pellet gun at them denounced Tuesday what they contend was a drawn-out process of obtaining critical details of his death — including the coroner’s autopsy report and surveillance footage.
Richard Perkins, 39, was shot 15 times the evening of Nov. 15 by three rookie officers and a sergeant who has been on the force for seven years. Police said Perkins pointed a replica gun at the officers just prior to his death — an assertion disputed by family members, who earlier this month met with homicide detectives to view security video of the incident.

An Oakland police officer shot a man who was armed with a knife Friday, department officials said.
The shooting happened on the 1000 block of 88th Avenue about 9:45 a.m. Two officers in a marked cruiser — one a rookie officer, the other that officer’s field training officer — were on patrol when they were flagged down by a witness reporting a man who was armed with a knife and “acting erratically,” said Officer Frank Bonifacio, an Oakland police spokesman.
The officers found the man, and “a confrontation ensued” that resulted in one of the officers opening fire, Bonifacio said. Officials did not say if it was the rookie or the training officer who shot the man.
The man, identified by relatives as Corey Pollard, 28, was hit by gunfire and taken to a hospital for treatment, but his condition was not immediately known. Family members told reporters at the scene that Pollard had a history of mental illness. They also said he was shot several times.
It was the second shooting involving Oakland police in less than a week, after 20 months without such an incident.
Last Saturday, an officer fired at a mentally ill man who was allegedly armed with golf clubs in the city’s San Antonio neighborhood. No one was struck by the gunfire, and the man was taken into custody.

The family of a man shot dead by four Oakland police officers as he carried a toy gun filed a federal lawsuit against the city Monday, saying the killing violated his constitutional rights and was the result of poor police training.

His relatives, however, after watching surveillance-camera footage of the incident, said Perkins had complied with police commands and had warned the officers he was carrying the toy pistol but never raised it.

Shootings by Oakland Police, OPD brutality, and settlements
By Lynda Carson - June 15, 2020
I believe that I am wrapping this up with some more additional links revealing some of the shootings by the cops in Oakland, police brutality in Oakland, and a number of settlements that had to be payed by the tax payers and the City of Oakland.
The people of Oakland have been getting screwed for many years by the system that protects the cops, and things need to change.
In regards to all the vicious police brutality happening across the nation against the protesters and the Black Lives Matter movement since the murder of George Floyd occurred by killer cops, it may be the result of an FBI program known as Iron Fist, a program to attack the so-called “Black Identity Extremists.”
It appears that the Trump regime has brought back the old Cointel-Pro program, revised and updated to go after African-Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement, as they ignore the violent white supremacists, and Neo-Nazis. See information and links further below...
Additionally, I added an old Black Panther Party video from the National Archives that was filmed in Oakland many years ago that helps us to see what was happening in Oakland back in the 60s, in contrast to the world we live in now.
Plus a few additional appropriate links...
Sorry for any repeats...

Oakland cop was cleared in earlier killing
From: SF Chronicle

https://www.rlslawyers.com/oakland-cop-was-cleared-in-earlier-killing/
An Oakland police officer who shot and killed an unarmed drunken-driving suspect last week was cleared of wrongdoing in a similar fatal shooting last New Year’s Eve, authorities said Monday.
Officer Hector Jimenez, who graduated from the police academy in February 2007, fired numerous shots at 27-year-old Mack “Jody” Woodfox III early Friday, hitting him in the back, said Oakland homicide Lt. Ersie Joyner.
Jimenez believed Woodfox had been reaching into his waistband for a gun after Woodfox jumped from his car and ran after a chase that ended at East 17th Street and Fruitvale Avenue in the Fruitvale district.
Woodfox was not armed, however, and his relatives say they intend to sue police. John Burris, the family’s attorney, said he also plans to ask Alameda County prosecutors, the FBI and the U.S. attorney to prosecute Jimenez on criminal charges, including murder and civil-rights violations.
Jimenez was one of two officers who shot and killed Andrew Moppin, 20, at 47th Avenue and International Boulevard on New Year’s Eve. Moppin was also not armed, but Jimenez and the other officer, who wasn’t identified, believed he had been reaching for his waistband, authorities said.

OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) - In 2000, police in Oakland, California became a symbol of the worst of American law enforcement after a band of rogue officers known as “The Riders” were accused of beating suspects, planting evidence and falsifying reports.

OAKLAND -- Attorneys for the family of a man who died during a scuffle with Oakland police in 2013 asked a federal judge on Monday to toss out a settlement brokered in January, arguing that not all of the man's seven siblings had agreed to the $450,000 payout.
The city had gone as far as cutting a check for the death of Hernan Jaramillo, who died outside his home in the Fruitvale District. But a constellation of events -- a botched Skype conversation, language barriers and the release of a dramatic body camera video -- prompted a change in tack by Jaramillo's family. The incident gained national notoriety when weeks after the settlement, this newspaper published the police body camera video. The footage showed Jaramillo yelling, "I can't breath" and "You're killing me," as police officers restrained him.

I believe that I am wrapping this up with some more additional links revealing some of the shootings by the cops in Oakland, police brutality in Oakland, and a number of settlements that had to be payed by the tax payers and the City of Oakland.
The people of Oakland have been getting screwed for many years by the system that protects the cops, and things need to change.
In regards to all the vicious police brutality happening across the nation against the protesters and the Black Lives Matter movement since the murder of George Floyd occurred by killer cops, it may be the result of an FBI program known as Iron Fist, a program to attack the so-called “Black Identity Extremists.”
It appears that the Trump regime has brought back the old Cointel-Pro program, revised and updated to go after African-Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement, as they ignore the violent white supremacists, and Neo-Nazis. See information and links further below...
Additionally, I added an old Black Panther Party video from the National Archives that was filmed in Oakland many years ago that helps us to see what was happening in Oakland back in the 60s, in contrast to the world we live in now.
Plus a few additional appropriate links...
Sorry for any repeats...

(Black Identity Extremists)
Threat Definition Black Identity Extremists (BIEs) use force or violence in violation of criminal law in response to perceived racism and injustice in American society; some do so in furtherance of establishing a separate black homeland or autonomous black social institutions, communities, or governing organizations within the US.A desire for physical or psychological separation is typically based on a religious or political belief system, which is sometimes formed around or includes a belief in racial superiority or supremacy.

Oakland cop was cleared in earlier killing
From: SF Chronicle
Henry K. Lee

https://www.rlslawyers.com/oakland-cop-was-cleared-in-earlier-killing/
An Oakland police officer who shot and killed an unarmed drunken-driving suspect last week was cleared of wrongdoing in a similar fatal shooting last New Year’s Eve, authorities said Monday.
Officer Hector Jimenez, who graduated from the police academy in February 2007, fired numerous shots at 27-year-old Mack “Jody” Woodfox III early Friday, hitting him in the back, said Oakland homicide Lt. Ersie Joyner.
Jimenez believed Woodfox had been reaching into his waistband for a gun after Woodfox jumped from his car and ran after a chase that ended at East 17th Street and Fruitvale Avenue in the Fruitvale district.
Woodfox was not armed, however, and his relatives say they intend to sue police. John Burris, the family’s attorney, said he also plans to ask Alameda County prosecutors, the FBI and the U.S. attorney to prosecute Jimenez on criminal charges, including murder and civil-rights violations.
Jimenez was one of two officers who shot and killed Andrew Moppin, 20, at 47th Avenue and International Boulevard on New Year’s Eve. Moppin was also not armed, but Jimenez and the other officer, who wasn’t identified, believed he had been reaching for his waistband, authorities said.

Oakland police shot and killed a man Monday after he and three other people led officers on a car chase through East Oakland, authorities said.
One person was still at large as night fell, and two others had been detained, said Officer Jeff Thomason, a spokesman for the Police Department. Officers were conducting a search through a neighborhood near Highland Hospital for the suspect.
The incident began around 2:15 p.m. when undercover officers spotted a car on 35th Avenue that they believed was linked to a shooting last week. The officers asked a marked unit to pull the car over, Thomason said.
The driver refused to stop and led police on a chase of about 3 miles before crashing into a home on the 3300 block of 13th Avenue, near the hospital and Interstate 580, Thomason said. The home suffered minor damage, and no one inside was hurt.
After the four people in the car jumped out and fled on foot, two police officers opened fire and shot one of them to death, Thomason said.

OAKLAND (CBS SF) – The city of Oakland has tentatively agreed to pay $1.4 million to the family of a homeless man with mental health issues who was fatally shot by Oakland police officers two years ago.
The City Council approved the tentative agreement in closed session last week but won’t have a final vote on it until a public council meeting in the next week or two, City Councilman Noel Gallo said Tuesday.
Oakland attorney John Burris filed a wrongful death officer last year on behalf of the family of 32-year-old Joshua Pawlik, who was shot multiple times in the 900 block of 40th Street at about 7 p.m. on March 11, 2018.
Pawlik had been sleeping on the ground and when officers, who were behind a large military vehicle, wakened Pawlik he sat up partway but officers opened fire on him before he had a chance to respond, Burris said.
Burris said Pawlik had a gun on his lap but he doesn’t think he ever grabbed it and pointed it at the officers.

OAKLAND -- Attorneys for the family of a man who died during a scuffle with Oakland police in 2013 asked a federal judge on Monday to toss out a settlement brokered in January, arguing that not all of the man's seven siblings had agreed to the $450,000 payout.
The city had gone as far as cutting a check for the death of Hernan Jaramillo, who died outside his home in the Fruitvale District. But a constellation of events -- a botched Skype conversation, language barriers and the release of a dramatic body camera video -- prompted a change in tack by Jaramillo's family. The incident gained national notoriety when weeks after the settlement, this newspaper published the police body camera video. The footage showed Jaramillo yelling, "I can't breath" and "You're killing me," as police officers restrained him.
