walter riley KPFA Radio The young man seemed to fling a few dogwhistles but when pushed on the definitions he didn’t always keep the same outlook. For instance he didn’t like “political games” but when Tur-ha outlines this against the Mayor he retreats from his stance.

walter riley KPFA Radio Tur-ha continued to take his time informing the masked disrupter about the origins of the policy he complained about. First he explained it wasn’t a “no-chase” policy but instead a conditional chase policy. The masked man seemed sure that the police were letting murderers escape.

walter riley KPFA Radio Now my absolute favorite part of this fiasco, was the exchange between a lone recall supporter, Tur-ha, myself, and other anti-recallers. When I highlighted that the fake KPFA dude is likely from San Francisco, this young man started arguing with us. It lead to this long talk…

walter riley KPFA Radio These people crawled into a poorly fitted costume of revolutionary activists and instead cosplay true community organizing, leadership, and disruption but to benefit billionaires, corporate interests, and pr firms for the exact people that have gone against community interests!

walter riley KPFA Radio Mayor Thao, on her first day back from work after her mom passed, is trying to lead with love against antagonistic PAID disruptors as she spoke about the grant to assist w/public safety. They feigned victimhood to distract and community members chanted “please stop provoking!”

walter riley This press conference was before the Mayors press conference on 15th & Broadway where Mayor Thao planned to announce $3.5M grant for safety ambassadors which was then disrupted by the same crew the speakers forewarned about. Seems as though, pr rep Sam Singer sent them there.

walter riley Footage of the hypocrisy of this group to call for civility when they’re armed by antagonizers to disrupt the announcement of safety measures for Oakland. The goal is to take attention away from the successes of the Mayor. Then had the nerve to have on a KPFA Radio hoodie!

Renowned Civil Rights Attorney walter riley Walter Riley, closed the conference by sharing how the strategies implemented in Oakland are actually national strategies used to undermine the will of Black and Brown voters around the country.

Saabir Lockett highlighted paid antagonizers for problematic misrepresentation of Oakland residents. He spoke about the importance of the community being a part of the solutions for Oakland instead of profiting from the real estate developer and corporate media backed “doom-loop”

Community activist Vanessa Riles shared her long familial history with Oakland politics as well as a call to “follow the money” behind the doom-loop narratives and recall campaigns attempting to undo the progressive wins in Oakland. Spoke about hate having no place in the town.

Faith leader Jeremy Mccants, gave some brief history of the failures of the former administration and called for grace as the new administration works to correct the fallout from failed policies of former Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff.
