It's been four months since Mayor Sheng Thao fired the city's police chief – and there's no timeframe on when Oakland will get a new top cop. Much of the blame is pointed at the dysfunction of the police commission.
Milele interfered with the work of the commission's Inspector General, prompting an Ethics Commission complaint.Milele has"failed to conduct the Police Commission meetings in a fair and respectful manner," allowing commissioners to verbally attack each other.
Instead, Milele wrote up responses to queries about the delayed search for the police chief and the atmosphere of the commission under her leadership. Without being specific as to whom or what she was referring to, Milele added: "To engage with unreasonable political ideologues with ambitious personal agendas does no service to the people of Oakland. We should have all learned this watching the responses to other ideologues using Trumpian tactics."Former Alameda County Chief Assistant District Attorney Terry Wiley spoke at a May 25 police commission saying he thinks Milele should keep her post as chair.
"From my viewpoint, I have a very positive view of this commission," Wiley told the commission. "And I think that her leadership should continue."
