OAKLAND — City officials wrongly fired five Oakland police officers who rustled a homeless man from his sleep and fatally shot him in 2018, an Alameda County judge has determined.
Karen Boyd, the city’s communications director, issued a statement saying, “We believe we adhered to the letter and spirit of the labor agreement, and believe the Court erred in finding otherwise.
