OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) A new report concludes that four Oakland police officers were justified in shooting a homeless man in 2018 and that they should be rehired, despite contrary findings by a court-appointed monitor and the city’s police commission.
The city hired Jeffrey Sloan, a Berkeley-based employment lawyer, to review the incident in which officers fired 22 rounds at 31-year-old Joshua Pawlik, a homeless man found sleeping with a semiautomatic gun in his hand in a West Oakland alley on March 11, 2018.
The report was commissioned by the city’s human resources director as part of a “Step 3” grievance procedure pursuant to the city of Oakland’s memorandum of understanding with the police union.

Oakland police have not yet released tear gas report and thousands of other public requests

OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland police have not released a self-assessment on officers’ use of tear gas eight months after lobbing the chemical agent into a crowd of students, families and seniors following a youth-led rally, missing a self-imposed deadline to do so. That’s the bare minimum of what a police force needs to do, said Xavier Brown, a sophomore at UCLA who co-organized the June 1 youth rally at Oakland Tech, and who wants to see an in-depth analysis of what led up to his friends being tear gassed. It’s not anything to applaud, get excited about. That is the bare minimum that they should do.
