Jesus Christ, the 3 officers who hosted the community engagement meeting to discuss the purchase of more assault rifles have killed 3 people and paralyzed 1 person already. What the fuck.

Daza-Quiroz, Perez-Angeles, and Gonzales — the three officers advocating for new assault rifles — have all shot and killed people while on duty. Daza-Quiroz and Perez-Angeles killed 37-year-old barber Derrick Jones, who had fled police and was unarmed, in 2010.

Gonzales has killed two people on duty, including 20-year-old Gary King Jr. in 2007, for which the city paid a $1.5 million settlement. He also shot and paralyzed Ameir Rollins in 2006, who was 17 at the time.

Oakland's Police Department is seeking to: 1. More than double its stock of drones. 2. More than double its stock of armored vehicles. 3. Get about $425K worth of new assault rifles. New from me in @bayareacurrent.bsky.social bayareacurrent.com/oakland-cops...

Oakland Cops Somehow Want $2 Million for Assault Rifles, Drones and Armored Vehicles

The military ambitions of OPD can’t be stopped, not even by a budget crisis and lower crime rates.

There's a budget crisis in Oakland, social programs are at risk, the animal shelters are overwhelmed, people are living on the street, but the cops want us to prioritize getting them more military toys to terrorize and murder community members. Unconscionable.
