Live Blog: Police indentify about 16 people who caused problems last time and are introducing themselves to them

... 4:55 p.m. Police Chief Batts briefs media, says officers are introducing themselves to 16 people who caused the most trouble after Mehserle verdict

In his second briefing to the media, Police Chief Batts said officers from various agencies have been introducing themselves to about 16 people who caused the most trouble in July following the verdict in the Mehserle trial. He said they are saying, "It's a pleasure to see you and we are aware of you." Batts said the music and other events at City Hall are slated to end at 6 p.m. Batts said officers would use a "very light hand," and allow the assemblage at City Hall unless people are "doing something that is outrageous," or disrupting traffic.

They were probably all white 20-somethings, too.

That’s what I saw in the riot pix: young white kids with scraggly beards and anarchist bandannas dragging lamps out of broken furniture store windows, running off with boxes of sneakers, etc. Dweebs. They know Daddy, who probably lives in Orinda and contributes heavily to the Dem Party, will bail them out.

I tell you what

White people are so sick and tired of the badge legitimizing bully police too

It is a significant problem as far as I can tell

Not just for quote unquote people of color

The police are on steroids

The police are on a major power trip

The police have forgotten they have a duty to serve and protect

The police prey on the unarmed

More likely Montclair, Lafayette, Kensington, or San Rafael.

Orinda is mostly conservative, as are Alamo, Walnut Creek, and Moraga.

These SEIU jerks in Oakland need all the ‘bullying’ that they can get.
