Are the consequences for OPD who arrest people without enough evidence to charge?
And after publicity that there is an arrest

#oakland #oakmtg

Most recent development: the nine youth have been released without charge after the cops admitted that they lack the evidence to charge them.

Yet mayor Sheng Thao still thinks "there has to be consequences." For them? Even though they are now entirely cleared of charges? Fuck that noise.

Ugh. Lafayette Police chased a car into #Oakland early Thursday morning, and the driver being chased crashed into a pedestrian, a utility pole and a traffic signal on 35th Ave and Penniman. Driver arrested, injured pedestrian taken away on a stretcher. I hope she wasn't too badly injured, but it looked pretty serious on some video posted online. @RapidResponseTeam #oakmtg

My #oakmtg #OaklandHistory buffs: On June 6, @alden will start an online discussion of his new book, "Deep Oakland," about how the geology of the city helped shape its history and its present appearance. We'll be talking in the Inkwell, the public conference of one of the oldest online communities in the U.S. For more information and a live link:

There was a pretty bad hit and run on a cyclist at E 12th St & 39th Ave in Fruitvale on Thursday evening, per this Nextdoor post. I'm not putting the victim's name on blast here, but it sounds like he did what he could in terms of getting appropriate medical help and documenting the incident. I'm glad it wasn't even worse.

Sorry for all my moaning today about drivers, but if you're in #Oakland, please support the Mayor's proposed increase in street safety funding, and efforts by @BikeEastBay, @RapidResponseTeam & others to make our city safer for cyclists and pedestrians. #oakmtg #BikeOAK #BikeOakland

I see#alamtg has joined Mastodon, but where is #oakmtg at?

#Oakland has been subject to a #ransomware attack for weeks now. But no one from the mayor on down has said anything about when to expect data to become available , eg from OPD, to commissions, the public...? SOME sort of plan please! #oakmtg @darwinbondgraham

Thanks to local reporting by Jaime Omar Yassin I've come across an auditor's report from about a year ago SPECIFICALLY bitching about "weaknesses within the City's information security"!

so they appoint Miriam Mehari (https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-m-4384306) CISO since Aug'22, as an internal candidate after she'd been a DIT admin since 2005. here's hoping Mayor Thao use a very large broom to sweep DIT in the #ransomware aftermath.

A ransomware gang has begun to leak data from the City of Oakland that was stolen in a recent cyberattack.

The initial data leak consists of a 10GB multi-part RAR archive allegedly containing confidential documents, employee information, passports, and IDs. #Oakland #Ransomware #oakmtg #CyberSec #CyberSecurity

Tracy Peterson, Coliseum Connections: we still haven't been made whole for 1st month of relocation; how long is it going to take? We need answers about when / whether we can go home- this is hard on mental health #OakMtg

RT @UCBRachelB
Davina Brown, Coliseum Connections: what are updates for repairs to the building where we live? We need reassurance we won't be on the streets on day 60, because that's coming up. Why did city stop paying attention after the ribbon-cutting? #OakMtg

#Oakland police shot a suspect near the San Leandro border today. He's in the hospital in stable condition. No other people were injured in the incident. #OPD's statement about what happened is attached. #oakmtg

People on the Nextdoor app are handling the #Oakland Mayor's dismissal of the Police Chief about how you'd expect. #oakmtg

What's the deal with hashtags again? The local servers should properly push the established civic hashtags to other servers. That's #alamtg #oakmtg #berkmtg and I'm not actually sure about #sf or #sfba (ok those seem high traffic).

#cawater and #delta would be nice too. And things like #bart #actransit (no traffic on that one?) and...?

2/2 We were told that if we conserved water, we were saving ecosystems and our fish (hi @deltasmelt2 and
@LongfinSmelt ). We don't want to see more mass die-offs! We want to see salmon in what is left of our creeks!

@jarosenfield @gavinnewsom @ianjames @LATimes

Come on SF Bay Area folks: we like our fish and water! We vote! We want our water too! Why else are we removing lawns and hand carrying recycled water to our gardens? We've been had. 1/2

This was in the course of getting a maintenance contract approved, $850,000 per year. That won't include fuel, personnel, depreciation, etc #sfba #oakmtg
