Hi, please don't let this huge liar defeat @Kaplan4Oakland

We've updated the voter guide to reflect this latest change, but Johnson’s candidate profile needs to be rewritten to incorporate this news. Thanks for your patience while we make our updates.

For those of you looking to take action, @meganasteffen suggested calling @KamalaHarris' SF office to ask why she is endorsing Johnson in light of these revelations. I left a message, letting her know that it may reflect poorly on her VP campaign.

Better late than never #oakmtg

Mariano Contreras of the Latino Task Force makes comments on the CPA propsed changes to use of force policy:
1. must be clear that racial disparities impacts use of force and police must be clear on this
2. Must be a commitment to de-escalation
3. Encouraging officers to walk away instead of escalating
4. Officer can only use a proportional amount of force to a situation and cannot use vague language to wave it away
5. Less lethal weapons can only be used for immediate danger of serious injury
6. Violations of use of force will not be protected by qualified immunity"
7. No distinction between use of "objectively reasonable" force, just "necessary" force
8. Specialty impact weapons like wooden bullets to be recategorized as lethal use of force

Is everyone ready for a good ol' fashioned #oakmtg? Time for the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force. Let's see how this 19-person committee goes...
CM Bas kicks it off with a grand speech about redefining success, CM Taylor gives a slightly less grand speech, introduces Ed Reiskin, who hopes that between all 19 people, the task force can find common ground. I'm glad we can see everyone's faces.
Seems the City Administrator's office is providing resources to the task force. This is interesting since that office seems somewhat stretched thin and disorganized already? #oakmtg

Listening into Police Commission mtg 9/10/20. Manheimer is discussing officer's alleged lack of awareness of Boogaloo Boys. #oakmtg
She claims she had to Google the Boogaloo Boys after finding out they were linked to the murder of federal officer Underwood. I'm sorry, what planet does she live on? How was she so unaware of Charlottesville? #oakmtg
Manheimer says it's "disturbing" that OPD officers would be associated with such a group. They've adjusted their dress policy, apparently. #oakmtg

Hi #oakmtg friends. I'm watching the @AlamedaCoDem Oakland Democratic Candidates Forum. It's being hosted on Facebook live: facebook.com/events/6077616…
Oh no, with 15 seconds left we will hear a bell. I already know this bell is going to haunt me for a while. #oakmtg
First up is Derreck Johnson. The speaking time is so quick it's impossible to type everything he said. He hits the highlights about his single mom, restaurant, etc.
