An Open Letter to Occupy Oakland from the Oakland Police Officers’ Association
November 11, 2011
On behalf of the 645 Oakland police officers we represent, this letter comes to you out of duty to protect the Oakland community and its citizens.
Oakland police officers are the 99% and we understand and sympathize with your message. We respect your right to peaceful protest.
We are also sworn to protect the citizens of Oakland. Right now, Oakland is in a state of emergency.
Our police officers are the 99% struggling in Oakland neighborhoods every day to contain the 1% who rob, steal, rape and murder our law-abiding citizens. The Occupy Oakland protest, now 30 days old, is taking our police officers out of Oakland neighborhoods and away from protecting the citizens of Oakland.
In an average city in California, this might not be of emergency proportions for its citizens. Oakland is not an “average” city – we have the highest violent crime rate in California. We are the 5th most violent city in the United States – with more shootings and homicides than any city west of the Mississippi.
Last night’s murder, right in the epicenter of Occupy Oakland, is unacceptable. So is the violence being promoted by “renegade” protesters who are lighting firebombs, destroying property and attacking police.
What is even more tragic is that homicides are a frequent occurrence in Oakland. This is the real emergency: Yesterday’s murder was Oakland’s 101st homicide of 2011. It is time for us to stop directing all of our efforts at policing the small enclave of “Occupy Oakland” and get back to our job of protecting the citizens of Oakland in the neighborhoods where our residents live.
The events of recent weeks have shown that many occupiers at Frank Ogawa Plaza are citizens of other communities with limited interest in preserving the greater good and safety of our City.
Please, we ask you: Leave Frank Ogawa Plaza peacefully and immediately so Oakland Police can get back to work fighting the devastating crime that’s occurring in our neighborhoods.
You have sent the world a strong message; now it is time to go home. Your leaving today, peacefully, of your own free will, on the 30th day, will send a message to Oakland that you care about our citizens and respect our city.
With last night’s homicide, in broad daylight, in the middle of rush hour, Frank Ogawa Plaza is no longer safe. Please leave peacefully, with your heads held high, so we can get police officers back to work fighting crime in Oakland neighborhoods.
Thank you.
They won't leave. They'll fight tooth and nail simply because they are PIGS!!!!
I expect violence from OWSers.
Relax man. Breathe. It will be alright. Police have guns and radios. Remove all the MM people first. Keep FoxNews there to cover the event, with fairness and balance. Then they can call in the National Guard. Remember Kent State? There you go. "Oops, they threw a rock, so we opened fire." Problem solved.
Remember, the police asked nicely. But dumb as some OWSers may be, they'll continue to fight against the police. Kent State? I bet OWSers are hoping it'll come to that. They made their point at the expense of businesses and tax payers. It's time to leave.
Thing is, I agree that the protest needs to stop until they can find a leadership group. I just don't think those protesting are PIGS. There are pigs amongst the group. It is not the entire group, just the ones being used by the Right as examples.
BTW, I watch COPS sometimes on TV. I always laugh when there are a group of 6-8 250+ pound officers kneeling on the neck of a suspect, while hollering "Stop resisting!!!" As if he is going to run away.

Leadership group? Won't they have to recall the dog first?
That would surprise you?
Pigs? Dogs? No wonder the Left has such dislike for the the Right. You keep shoveling deeper into that divide. Then blame the Liberals for not cooperating and "hastin to be uproared" and "poopin' on da police ride" or whatever.
Wah, wah, wah.
