hey, it's Lance. I'm 15 years late but this is my first tweet. I got out of federal prison two weeks ago and i'm going to share with you all what it's like trying to get back on my feet after four years of incarceration.
Watching the Public Safety Vice Chair vow to get to the bottom and hold people accountable because a staffer forgot to cut and paste part of a boilerplate report vs how basically said nothing when told an OPOA board member made 500K in overtime for writing accident reports.
On the plus side, Council and Mayor received a strong message to cut police spending today, get a hold of overtime and most importantly, deny OPOA an 8th raise in as many years. Also to enforce GPS in OPD cruisers to sharpen 911 response time, and prosecute overtime fraud in OPD
Curtis Lee Ervin, who received a resentencing in light of racist jury selection under previous DAs is suing ALCO DA. Jones Dickson swept all of this under the rug, but it's coming back right before election
I followed up with Council President Kevin Jenkins about his role in holding Ken Houston accountable for badmouthing a constituent in emails to residents and City officials. His response is weird; I don't have an editor. But if I did, this would read as intimidation
Don't let the City fool you, all throughout the debate on the EAP, they were towing vehicles people resided in. I just spoke to someone whose vehicle and trailer were towed in early May, despite the fact that the EAP has not yet gone into effect.
If local media had followed this angle for the past half decade, the public would have a completely different visceral understanding of how to fix homelessnes. Which was a problem for the landlord and developer class that funded the recalls and ignited chaos all over the bay area
@samsinger@BarbaraLee_CA Credit Isaac Abid and Philip Dreyfuss to the choke hold they have had on the media and this doom loop narrative they are behind. Their goal has always been to drive down property values so venture capitalists can come in and buy for the low.
@samsinger@AlamedaCounty Nothing but copaganda. Do the opposite anything this white man says. It’s not about race but Sammy is nothing but a racist and carries the water for the good ol boys
This is how local DA's got in trouble the first time out, and why Price and Chesa beat the establishment so easily. It won't be easy to hide, especially after Jones Dickson refuses to charge her literal friend, colleague, and endorser, the rapist Swalwell.
