If OPD violates your rights, abuses you, or worse, murders your loved one, you should not have to go file a complaint against OPD to OPD.

Please join the Coalition for Police Accountability on May 19th in support of agenda item 11 to demand that all walk-in complaints against OPD be moved from the Internal Affairs Dept of OPD and into the hands of the Citizens Police Review Board (CPRB).

The vote at tomorrow’s city council meeting is a very important step towards the ultimate goal of a real functioning CPRB that is fully funded & appropriately empowered to hold officers who commit crimes accountable.

Citizens do not have the same conflict of interest that police do when investigating themselves. It is time for the people of Oakland to be in control of the police, we can no longer allow them to act with complete impunity & zero accountability when the violate, beat, abuse, or murder people of color in our communities.

Please fill out a speaker card even if you do not intend to speak, you may cede you time to another speaker, here is the link, it’s agenda item 11 for the May 19th city council meeting: http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityClerk/s/SpeakerCard/SpeakerCard/OAK032373
