OAKLAND — The powerful oversight body responsible for finding Oakland’s next police chief is caught in a messy internal fight over its own leader’s job performance.With tensions ratcheting up even further this week, the deepening divisions in the Oakland Police Commission raise questions about whether the civilian-led group can effectively oversee reform of a police department seeking an end to federal oversight.On Thursday night, the commission selected a firm that will conduct a nationwide search for the department’s new chief — a position that has been vacant for four months.But at the same meeting, the group’s chair, Tyfahra Milele, took the growing conflict a step further, suggesting that the calls from other commissioners for her to step down stem not from a political disagreement but a venting of personal issues.“My scholarly work was on trauma, and now it’s common knowledge that trauma is most often caused by the traumatized,...Bay Area man convicted of killing two cops wants you to know he’s not a snitch

OAKLAND — A former U.S. Air Force sergeant convicted of murdering two law enforcement officers in separate ambush-style attacks in 2020 is now apparently concerned that a recent court filing will damage his reputation in prison.Attorneys for Steven Carrillo, who pleaded guilty to murdering Federal Protective Services Officer David Patrick Underwood in Oakland and Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller in Ben Lomond, filed a recent court document pushing back against statements made by Carrillo’s co-defendant in the Underwood murder case. The attorneys for Robert Allan Justus, who is set for trial in September, claimed Carrillo gave a recent FBI interview regarding Underwood’s killing.Both murders were motivated by Carrillo and Jutus’ ties to the so-called Boogaloo Movement, a loosely organized anti-government group that believes a second Civil War is imminent.The recent opposing court filings demonstrate just how far Carrillo and Justus have fallen ...Suspect taken into custody in connection to death of Oakland baker

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds released outfielder Wil Myers on Friday, three days after designating him for assignment.Myers was designated on Tuesday after the team activated him from the 10-day injured list.The Reds owe him about $4.19 million from the $7.5 million, one-year contract he agreed to on Dec. 22. An 11-year veteran, the 32-year-old had been out with a kidney stone and a left shoulder sprain. Myers hit .189 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 32 games before he was sidelined.Cincinnati had seven days to trade him or place him on waivers. Because he has more than three years of service, Myers cannot be assigned outright to the minor leagues without his consent.Myers was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2013 with Tampa Bay and an All-Star in 2016 with San Diego.SourceRevelan el posible rostro de una adolescente anglosajona del siglo VII
