I really don’t want to hear about Oakland having not enough money for cops or schools ever again.

“Whatever the reasons, the fact remains that to this day not a single organization of the mainstream press has ever investigated the Panther murders, even though the story is one that touches the lives and political careers of the entire liberal establishment, including the first lady and the deputy attorney general in charge of civil rights for the Clinton administration. Both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Lann Lee began their political careers as law students at Yale by organizing demonstrations in 1970 to shut down the university and stop the trial of Panther leaders who had tortured and then executed a black youth named Alex Rackley.”

From this interesting article:

“Who Killed Betty Van Patter?”

Thanks for posting.

That was an interesting read.

I knew Jerry Brown was vile but had no idea just how.

Actually, elected officials are not public employees. the fact that they receive compensation for their position does not make them employees in the traditional sense.

That being the case, the city should not be liable for her actions.

In Oakland, unlike most cities, money grows on trees, not! $4 million to a worthless old commie Black woman, is money that could have gone to helping a lot of East Oakland Blacks who really do need help.Go figure! Just hope the city goes into court and contests the judgement.

Actually SF has some semblance of order.

Oakland is bedlam decomposed.

San Francisco is the toilet. Oakland is the septic tank.

Don’t leave out San Jose; it has both of them beat.
