OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Another disturbing headline about the shooting in Oakland comes from the ABC7 I-Team, law enforcement sources tell us school officials have sent text messages to shooting victims, instructing them not to cooperate with police.
We're hearing it's a pattern, and some parents at the school are worried that a lack of action by school officials after previous incidents may have led to this escalation in violence.
Law enforcement sources tell the I-Team, Oakland police investigators have obtained text messages from the shooting victims' phones in which Rudsdale school officials tell them not to cooperate with police.
During a virtual news conference, the I-Team's Dan Noyes asked Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong about that information. He answered, "Our investigation will be thorough, it will be complete and we will exhaust all options to figure out what happened on this campus. But at this time, I will not speak to any evidence that we've recovered at this time."

Slap’em with an obstruction charge just for starters...
A conspiracy to deny civil rights.
accessory after the fact
Obstruction of Justice.
Maybe the school officials were in on the shooting.
is it because the shootets were “yo yo yo my homey” variety? and as such they dont want to make any more trouble for their “pocs”?
Gang warfare is encouraged in Oakland?
I taught for many years in an urban public school district. We were strictly told that talking to the media after an incidence of violence was a firing offense. Calling the city police was also a firing offense.
We were told that we always had to call the (unarmed) school police, even when a weapon was involved. How crazy was that? But the district could control what the school police reported. They could not control what the city police reported. So don’t call the city police.
Ah, but suppose you ignored that, and dialed 911 from a school phone. Nope, that won’t work. The district automatically rerouted all 911 calls to the school police office.
I suppose it’s very different now, as everyone in the building has a cell phone.
Anyway, we teachers were furious over this. But the trash administrators always put PR over safety.
Completely correct. Now you wonder just what side are the Oakland school officials on....
I'm sure if the texts had been sent by radical parents who come to school board meetings with the misguided assumption that they have a right to influence their children's education and to challenge the supreme wisdom of the school board that there would have already been a pre-dawn raid by a SWAT team with the handcuffed parents perp-walked out.
Colleges do the same thing. Always call the real police, not school police.
Isn’t that ILLEGAL?...........................
Maybe the school officials are making money off of the gangs.
Perhaps look the other way when the drugs are being sold, and various other activities..
“We were strictly told that talking to the media after an incidence of violence was a firing offense.”
Doing or saying anything that might be ‘embarrassing’ for the district will get even tenured teachers in trouble. Telling the press that a campus is dangerous and violent will get you fired.
School official’s kid involved? That could be extra special.
There was not a single piece of evidence in the article. Unless i missed it?
So cops, just stay away and let them handle it all. Do not respond to calls to the school.
That's bizarre. I imagine there is some law against such actions.
