Dear Neighbors & Council Member Schaaf,
I am deeply ashamed of Oakland, and deeply grateful to my neighbors for speaking out against the police action against the Occupy Oakland movement.
Oakland cannot afford to answer burglar alarms but Mayor Quan can afford days and maybe weeks of hundreds of riot police.
Our council member has spoken out against fiscal mismanagement and considers public safety a top priority. I respectfully register my objection to this police action and request that council member Schaaf report to neighbors the projected cost of this police action. I would also like to hear their risk benefit analysis, if this is a reasonable action why are all the public officials silent?
Ashamed of Oakland and proud of my neighbors,
Ann Nomura
