All urban police departments have the same root problems at the end of the day. I'm sure both of them are about the same culturally as OPD or SFPD and etc.

Community leaders who have followed OPD's lack of progress contend that there is one key problem: Most of the department's sworn officers have no connection with Oakland's residents other than through surveillance and force. Many OPD officers commute to the city from distant suburbs. Many police cadets are recruited from outside Oakland and come to the job with biases about the communities they are sworn to serve and protect. All-too-frequent allegations of racial profiling, incidents of excessive force, and episodes of outright brutality are the unfortunate result of a dysfunctional departmental culture.

Revelations last week that photographs of US District Judge Thelton Henderson, who is black and who oversees OPD's federal consent decree, and Mayor Jean Quan, who is Chinese American, were defaced in a racially offensive manner and left posted outside the lineup room in the Police Administration Building for two days drew sharp criticism from the monitors who oversee the consent decree. In the most recent quarterly report, monitor Robert Warshaw wrote that such actions "strike at the heart of the NSA [Negotiated Settlement Agreement]."

It also wasn't an isolated incident: a photograph taken in December 2010 at the former shooting range in the basement of OPD's headquarters showed the contempt that some officers have for the progressive views held by many Oaklanders. The photo is of a flyer posted on a bulletin board, depicting a pilot standing on the wing of a World War II-era plane. The caption read: "You shut the fukk up. We'll protect America. Keep out of our fukking way, liberal pussies."

While acts of bigotry and human rights violations are serious issues in and of themselves, critics of OPD also note how the department's institutionalized problems negatively affect the local economy and starve resources from other much-needed city services. The police department is at the very center of Oakland's chronic fiscal deficits and long-term debts due to the enormously disproportionate share of the city budget spent on policing. Just operating OPD consumes about 40 percent of the city's general fund each year. The retirement costs of former cops also have driven Oakland into high levels of debt and forced cuts to city services, a problem that is made much worse because these retirees do not live in the city, and spend their pension incomes elsewhere.

Just 9 percent of Oakland's current 644 police officers actually live in Oakland, according to data provided by OPD. Adding civilian OPD staff who also live outside of Oakland, the total number of police department employees who do not reside in the city is about 785, more than 70 percent of the department's total workforce.

The city paid these non-Oakland employees roughly $126 million in salary, overtime, and benefits in the 2010-2011 fiscal year. In other words, Oakland taxpayers are exporting up to 86 percent of OPD's payroll, a huge sum of money, to surrounding suburbs.

Like @David_TheMan said the system is working the way it was designed to... Rape black folks for every red penny inside and outside of jail.

And laugh while they do it.

So the cop got fired but will he be locked up?

That doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme.

True. But let it never be said that I didn't say this.
