Hell yeah, let's see what they say about auditor Ruby. #oakmtg is on.
"Again, the auditor was a no-show-- check our meeting minutes" - Jackson #oakmtg
Jackson digs into all the progress the Commission has made. "As volunteers we work laboriously, but we respond to the issues that are typically kind of crisis-oriented." #oakmtg
Commenter is calling an "exigent circumstance"--loaded term-- re: Trump's feds coming in #oakmtg
Commenter worried about "Feds doing Latin American-style creepy shit in our city" -- oof, after chatting with my cousin in Medellin last night, I FELT that #oakmtg
@meganasteffen asks about data from OPD that was due July 15th, but was pushed off to December according to an interview with a reporter. This data was about protestors (incl. children) being teargassed on June 1st. #oakmtg
Missed the last few speakers, our food delivery person got lost. We've resigned to delivery on #oakmtg nights. I guess this is not the most expensive hobby, though. Caught @astropuffin's comments, though! :)
New Commissioner Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte introduces herself. I'm having trouble hearing her but I heard she has like 25 years' experience in family court? #oakmtg
Commenter Cathy Leonardy is 1000% in on Comm. Judge. Rashidah Grinage is as well. They are from the Coalition for Police Accountability. #oakmtg
Third public speaker is skeptical, says we are watching. That's the right approach IMO. #oakmtg
Manheimer brings up shotspotter maps -- says we have a lot of gun crime and does *not* represent the fireworks. #oakmtg
Here are maps in question #oakmtg 
Manheimer says year over year there's way more gun violence this year #oakmtg
Manheimer tries to intro Dep. Chief Lindsey to discuss Phase I of a report of internal disparities for OPD. Jackson stops and mentions two things that were overdue for this meeting. But before all that, explain OPD stance on the Feds #oakmtg
Manheimer: We have never nor would we ask for federal assistance for crowd management and we use state mutual aid.
Watch how Manheimer twists this into a need for tear gas to maintain mutual aid... #oakmtg

OR mutual aid policies are different, CA is a very rigid system from the state of CA regional resources (that doesn't sound like a real agency, but okay) #oakmtg
Jackson asks for a copy of the policy to send to the commission because she's nervous. Manheimer says if ICE were to come into town, her troops would notify her immediately and she would notify the mayor immediately #oakmtg
"I also have goals," Manheimer replies to Jackson, yearning in her voice. #oakmtg
Goals: crime reduction/ceasefire, strengthening community partnerships, reducing harm to community has taken over everything else, "reimagining policing"-- "we embrace this, we are going to move forward with it", local hire pipeline #oakmtg
Harris schools Manheimer on the background of 911 calls. It's been known to be a mess for years. Manheimer replies that "we were on top of that about 18 months ago" but not currently. It's taken a year to do the hiring process. #oakmtg
Harris makes it clear that "we want to ELIMINATE harm, not reduce it." Boss. #oakmtg
Commissioner Judge presses Manheimer on the actual plan for the Feds, aside from "notifying people." Manheimer says she doesn't even know. #oakmtg
Missed some of the last bits, as we were looking at all the 0 star reviews on the judge. 😬 We're supposed to get the crowd control report 21 days from now. Put it in your calendars, kids. #oakmtg
Dorado asks about white supremacists, Manheimer says we have daily communications about these groups. They are standing up a race and ethnicity group-- did the interim chief of OPD say they are starting an ERG? #oakmtg
Harris mentions all the issues OPD has had in the last 17 years, murder, child rape, etc, and says to Manheimer that she is the 14th chief in 10 years and Oakland is tired of hearing promises. "The response I want is I will escort them out or I will arrest them." #oakmtg
Manheimer: I've had to terminate several people since I've been here. We terminated someone and we upheld standards that weren't even upheld externally. "I'm pleased, we've had 17 years of reform. In terms of the practices/policies, we have some of the most progressive in US"
Harris calls BS. We have 151 policies that are outdated.
Manheimer: "I've got a plan for you, chair Harris!" If I could see anyone's faces, I picture her with a smile on her face, fist keeping her chin aloft.
I like my version of #oakmtg better sometimes.

We are learning about the racial disparity study from the internal Race & Equity team from Dep. Chief Drennon Lindsey. #oakmtg
Oakland Black Officers Association will be leading a focus group. Dorado asks Lindsey to make sure Latino Officers are included. Says there is an escalating issue with Latino gangs. He will be keeping an eye on that #oakmtg
Harris does not like the report. Trainings don't work, racism is a learned behavior. Wants to see the recommendations, how they will be implemented, who is monitoring them and what the measurement "matrix" will be. #oakmtg
Deputy Armstrong always sounds like he is out of breath, or breathes after every word he speaks? What data did he say would take 6 months to retrieve? #oakmtg
Harris: "Black people aren't allowed to be our own experts. We still aren't." #oakmtg
WOW Manheimer doesn't know how many OPD are residents and Lindsey "ran out of time" #oakmtg
We get a presentation from City CIO. @astropuffin is very excited. His IT spidey senses are tingling. #oakmtg
I will retweet and decipher Joe's stuff. This means it is EXTREMELY UNSECURE: #oakmtg

Also, can I just point out, it's called OPD net dot net? #oakmtg
Here's a screenshot of the dashboard #oakmtg
And here's the kind of report we've been expecting OPD to produce for us: #oakmtg
DSR is discretionary search rate #oakmtg
I mean, this is a basic tool IMO. Maybe I'm just used to seeing more powerful databases than a spreadsheet? #oakmtg
This is Joe's moment to shine. #oakmtg

I will copy-paste this thread, dammit #oakmtg
https://twitter.com/meganasteffen/status/1286520513817264130?s=20
The climactic realization #oakmtg
https://twitter.com/astropuffin/status/1286520754557743105?s=20
My take is Pete has a lot of explaining to do. I will take my popcorn and watch my husband brow-beat their IT dept. #oakmtg
Harris has a lot of (good) questions, who has access, who's inputting it, can we group by teams, glitches, cost, etc. She apparently uses PowerBI for work. #oakmtg
Pete says sunk cost is $2.5M, Anderson asks about support & maintenance costs #oakmtg
So, Anderson just said that executive level officers have access to this already. So Manheimer does have access to it? #oakmtg
Gage asks for recommendations for how the PolComm can use this tool. Peterson says you can do a lot of slicing and dicing and OPD is pulling in a data analyst to do ad hoc analysis. Gage is asking for direct access. I love it. #oakmtg
about ongoing costs: #oakmtg
https://twitter.com/killerswan/status/1286525424755855361?s=20
I love that my husband is going full white hat on this #oakmtg
https://twitter.com/astropuffin/status/1286526862768783360?s=20
#oakmtg still trying to hack the mainframe
https://twitter.com/jtu/status/1286528210239291393?s=20
Olugbala said this was mandated as part of the settlement from 17 years ago. Asking about reconciling academy records and racial profiling data from Eberhart. in 2018 we lost $6M trying to develop this. Are we in compliance? #oakmtg
Peterson says training and field-based training are integrated. It's not perfect and will evolve over time. #oakmtg
