Another alleged case of misconduct in the Oakland Police Department is triggering strong responses from those who have worked to reform the department.

"There's been a lot and a lot of good work -- so I thought. So I certainly thought I was easing towards the finish line," said attorney John Burris.OPD was on track to end the federal monitoring in May. A report filed by a law firm hired for an independent investigation concluded that the chief and the department failed to properly investigate and discipline a sergeant who ripped the bumper off a neighbor's car in a hit-and-run crash in 2021 and, last year, fired his gun in a freight elevator at police headquarters.
