The Oakland Police Officers Association on Tuesday said it has a “major announcement' about a mass shooting that occurred over the weekend.
During a news conference meant for a "major announcement," the Oakland Police Union demanded Mayor Sheng Thao's resignation on Tuesday, citing severe understaffing and a lack of resources within the police force."Today we are asking Mayor Sheng Thao to recall as mayor immediately for a lot of the failures in this city, going from crime, the budget crisis, the distraction of the FBI raid that prevents our ability to function as a city," said union president Huy Nguyen.
"Nguyen noted that officers can't respond to every emergency call or their response times are prolonged because the department does not have enough personnel."We don't have the resources," he said.The union was supposed to make a statement about the mass shooting that took place over the weekend in Oakland. Although it was not the main topic of the press conference, Nguyen did address the city's crime wave.
