An open letter to the citizens of Oakland (opoa.org)

I'm an Oakland resident and I had already emailed Mayor Quan as well as my city council member about this very subject, but received no response. The police officers with the exception of when they were called upon to don riot gear have been very pleasant. They have been generally keeping to themselves and helpful to anyone who asked(as far as I saw).

While I'm generally not a fan of LEOs, it is clear that problems being caused here, now are being caused by the city administration.
