- W321516083 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The more things change, they more they stay the same.... New mayor, same old shit with OPD killing another unarmed black man, brother Jones. Jean Quan is Oakland's new mayor, the first Asian and woman. At least she has a history of being on the ground, unlike outgoing Mayor Dellums, the Distant Lover who rarely showed his face in public, even as the people suffered trauma and grief at the Miller Lite sentencing in the Oscar Grant murder by BART police. We wonder how will Jean Quan run Oakland? Will the OPD absorb 100% of the City budget? How is more police the answer to economic injustice, educational and health disparities? Will we be satisfied when Oakland becomes under full police occupation, mainly for the safety of white people, for sure North American Africans feel no safety from the police, never have and never shall, especially as long as the police are outsiders, in short, foreign invaders, aliens with no love for the people in the hood. Will Mayor Jean Quan understand that if America can offer education, jobs and housing for terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, she must find job for young people in the hood who are unemployed, armed and dangerous. These young men and women are suffering traumatic stress syndrome, to no less a degree than soldiers returning from the wars abroad. American youth in the hood reside in a war zone. Parents never known if their children will make it home safely. If the police don't kill them in a freak confrontation, their turf rivals may smoke them, or they may get caught in a partner violence situation. Ray Charles sang about the Danger Zone. Look around and you will see what's troubling me--the Danger Zone is everywhere. I have warned people about the tone test when stopped by police: based on our tone of voice, we will be killed, arrested or released. Ask Harvard professor Dr. Gates! In our partner relations the tone test or the failure to exercise discipline in conversation escalates to verbal violence, followed by physical violence and/or emotional abuse. Will Mayor Quan address such issues or will she continue the tradition of placating the business community at the expense of the hood? One thing for sure, her Asian community may not need much of her assistance. Chinatown is booming with banks on every block, housing, an economic vitality unsurpassed elsewhere in the city. Little English is spoken, yet a Chinese need not leave his community for any reason. All bills can be paid in Chinatown, phone, water, electricity, etc. Medical care is available in the hood. Actually, Asian money owns most buildings in downtown Oakland! From our Academy of da Corner, 14th and Broadway, we can view City Hall, so we shall keep an eye on Mayor Quan. We will not doctor her to death, but we will keep our eyes on her to make sure she is doing all in her power to cure the sickness to save the patients, the citizens of Oakland. The latest news below reveals she shall have a daunting task: Four people have been killed and at least four others injured since Friday in a spate of shootings in Oakland, a police spokesman said today. The first of the fatal shootings was reported at about 10:55 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of El Paseo Drive in East Oakland. Arriving officers found Kevin Lockett, 45, had been shot multiple times and killed, Oakland police Officer Jeff Thomason said. Two other people were shot and taken to a local hospital. Both were expected to survive. Another shooting was reported at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday near the 1000 block of Eighth Street. Officers arrived to find two teens suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The victims have been identified as Edward Hampton, 17, and Nario Jackson, 18, according to Thomason. Then on Monday evening, a 39-year-old man was killed in a shooting in East Oakland. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was fatally shot around 6:35 p. …" @default.
