There’s always more money for cops. Only for cops, not for schools or jobs or healthcare or parks or libraries — not for any of the things that actually make healthy and safe communities. Conservatives and moderate democrats are mobilizing to give public comment at tomorrow’s Oakland City Council meeting, on Tuesday, September 19, and your voice … Continued

The sheriff wants to acquire more than 500 more of them, for an arsenal of over … Continued
