As Sheng Thao starts her second year in office, some of her staunchest
critics say they are pursuing a recall campaign.
Last weekend, a group led by retired Alameda County Superior Court Judge
and former member of the Police Commission Brenda Harbin-Forte,
announced it had mailed the paperwork to officially start the recall
process after collecting 250 signatures for an official notice. In a
note explaining their concerns, the organizers accused Thao of creating
a public safety crisis in Oakland by “systematically dismantling” OPD,
firing former police chief LeRonne Armstrong, and failing to appoint a
new police chief, among other complaints.
“Lives have been lost, property destroyed, businesses have shut down,
and fear and collective trauma are daily occurrences for Oaklanders,”
the recall organizers wrote in their notice.
In response to an interview request from The Oaklandside, Harbin-Forte
said all press statements must go through her media coordinator, Seneca
Scott. After The Oaklandside sent Scott an email requesting an
interview, Scott, without directly responding to us, accused The
Oaklandside on Twitter of trying to discredit recall supporters by
reporting about the campaign.
Thao’s chief of staff, Leigh Hanson, said the recall effort is “led by
losers.”
“I know for a fact that if Mayor Thao had lost the election, she would
have conceded gracefully and found a legitimate job that contributed to
moving our community forward,” Hanson said. “I have faith that
Oaklanders are smarter than this, and will resist the urge to be
distracted by a desperate attempt for relevance.”
Thao said in a statement she has “the best job in the world” because she
gets to fight to make Oakland safer, more affordable, and more
prosperous.
“I ask all Oaklanders to help me achieve that vision with hope and
collaboration and push aside fear and division,” Thao said.
There are many steps supporters of a recall have to undertake before it
is put to voters during a scheduled election. One major step is the
recall organizers must collect signatures from at least 10% of the
population, according to state rules that govern recalls in Oakland.
According to Alameda County data, there are over 240,000 voters in the
city, which means the recall supporters must collect roughly 24,600
signatures.
The recall organizers’ main focus: crime
At the beginning of 2023, a group of people upset with District Attorney
Pamela Price’s new policies around prosecuting crime launched a recall
campaign against her, arguing that her progressive stances on issues
like not charging juveniles as adults and not seeking enhancements and
maximum prison sentences in all cases has contributed to worse crime in
Oakland. The organizers of the Thao recall are making similar claims
about the mayor. They accuse Thao of “systematically dismantling” the
police department, “unjustly” terminating the former police chief, and
failing to uphold her promise to hire a new chief.
Last year was a bad year for crime in Oakland. There were 17,256
burglaries in 2023—a 23% increase over 2022. Commercial burglaries were
up 9% compared to 2022, fueling growing discontent among business
owners, some of whom have dealt with multiple break-ins. Vehicle thefts
were up 45% compared to 2022, and robberies were up 38%.
Many crime trends started worsening before Thao took office as mayor.
For example, in 2019, Oakland ended the year with 75 murders. In 2020,
murders shot up to 102. In 2021, LeRonne Armstrong’s first year as
chief, murders further increased to 123—the highest in 15 years. Murders
appear to have plateaued at higher levels in 2022 and 2023, at 120 each
year, according to OPD’s most recent annual crime report.
The city’s violent crime index—which tracks serious crimes, including
homicide, aggravated assault, rape, and robbery—peaked at 7,984 total
incidents in 2013, according to OPD data for 2009 through 2019. Then,
violent crime dropped for six years. When the pandemic hit, violent
crime shot up again.
The recall organizers have accused Thao of worsening public safety by
tearing down OPD, but the department hasn’t seen any layoffs or major
cuts in recent years, even after city leaders, including Thao, expressed
an interest in diverting funds to police alternatives after the George
Floyd protests in 2020. In June 2023, Thao’s first year as mayor, she
and the Oakland City Council approved a city spending plan that
increased OPD’s budget by roughly $40 million over what it received in
the last cycle, growing it from $683 million to $722 million. Oakland
leaders also funded six police academies.
However, because of rising costs due to inflation and other factors, the
$40 million increase in OPD’s budget hasn’t been enough to maintain
prior levels of police services. And the city’s $360 million shortfall
in its general fund forced Thao and City Council to make cuts across the
board to services. OPD agreed to cut its overtime budget by 15% and
reduce the number of budgeted sworn officers from 726 to 710. The city
also froze hiring for vacant OPD positions that it couldn’t afford to
fill. OPD, like other departments, avoided layoffs. The department is
currently projected to overspend its budget by $32.32 million in fiscal
year 2023-2024.
OPD graduated a new academy class at the end of 2023, which should
increase the number of officers to 725. For perspective, OPD staffing
was at a recent high of 750 in 2019. That number plummeted during the
pandemic, hitting a low of 690 in 2022, before Thao was elected mayor.
The recall organizers have also criticized Thao for firing Police Chief
LeRonne Armstrong, and for not yet hiring a replacement.
In January 2023, Thao placed Armstrong on administrative leave after an
outside investigation faulted him for “systemic failures” in how OPD
handled two misconduct cases for an OPD sergeant. She fired Armstrong
the following month after he went to the press and called OPD’s federal
monitor, Robert Warshaw, corrupt.
The Police Commission opened a search for a new chief, but the mayor
criticized the commission after an internal power struggle spilled into
public, and she promised to declare a state of emergency if the
commission didn’t send her candidates before the end of the year. In
September, a neutral hearing officer opined that Armstrong had not been
negligent in his duties as chief, but stopped short of saying he should
be reinstated. This report was seized on by Armstrong and his
supporters, including members of the Oakland Police Commission, who
advanced him as a finalist for the OPD chief job. Thao said she has lost
trust in Armstrong and rejected him and two other candidates in
December. The commission reopened the search and is expected to send new
candidates to the mayor in March. In the meantime, an interim chief is
running OPD, one of many times in the department’s recent history when
the chief’s role has been filled by a lower-ranking officer or outsider.
Paula Hawthorn, chair of Oakland’s Public Safety and Services Violence
Prevention Oversight Commission, spoke in her personal capacity with The
Oaklandside about the recall. Hawthorn was deeply opposed to the mayor’s
decision to fire Armstrong, calling him the best chief the city has had
for a long time. But she believes the recall is a mistake.
“She was elected honestly,” Hawthorn said. “I regret that she was
because I was very much for Loren Taylor. But that’s democracy, that’s
where we are, that’s what we do. We allow people to serve out their
terms.”
Hawthorn also dismissed the idea that OPD has been dismantled under
Thao. She said that Darren Allison, who has been running the department
since January 2023, is a “perfectly good” interim chief.
“The department is running along as well as it can and trying to figure
out what to do with this horrible crime spell, which nobody understands
why it’s happening or how to fix it, and that’s the bottom line,”
Hawthorn said.
Who are the recall organizers?
Brenda Harbin-Forte served as an Alameda County Superior Court judge
from 1998 until her retirement in 2019. In 2020, Oakland Mayor Libby
Schaaf appointed her for a roughly two-year term to the Police
Commission, an independent board with hiring and firing power over the
city’s police chief.
Harbin-Forte’s term expired in October 2022 but she continued to serve
on the commission and Thao didn’t remove her until June 2023. This
followed infighting on the commission, partly over the commission’s
leadership. At the time of her removal, Harbin-Forte accused the mayor
of trying to ensure that OPD remains under the control of the federal
monitor, Robert Warshaw, who has been overseeing the department’s reform
efforts. Harbin-Forte was an ally of the former commission chair,
Tyfahra Milele, who clashed with Thao over the timeline for the police
chief search. In a recent SFGATE interview, Harbin-Forte said the recall
campaign against Thao isn’t “petty revenge.”
Seneca Scott is a local activist who founded the group Neighbors
Together, which describes its mission as holding elected officials
accountable and checking the interests of special interest groups like
labor unions and nonprofits. He unsuccessfully ran against Thao and nine
other candidates in the 2022 mayoral election. He received 3,740 votes,
coming in seventh place. During the campaign, Scott repeatedly accused
Thao and her supporters of wrongdoing, including by publicizing ethics
complaints made by a former staffer in Thao’s City Council office and by
alleging that another Thao staffer was running a secret Twitter account
while on the job.
Scott has a history of making inflammatory statements, including last
summer when he accused an LGBTQ member of Thao’s staff of being a
pedophile.
After the 2022 election, Scott and the NAACP pushed for a recount in
hopes of overturning Thao’s win. Scott telegraphed his interest in
pursuing recalls against Oakland officials he disagrees with in a June
2022 op-ed about San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, where he
hinted that a similar campaign could happen in Oakland. In an August
2022 Twitter post responding to Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas,
Scott said “The SF recalls were only the beginning.”

> You fools voted these incompetent progressive pieces of shit into
> office! What's the problem now?
As Sheng Thao starts her second year in office, some of her staunchest
critics say they are pursuing a recall campaign.
Last weekend, a group led by retired Alameda County Superior Court Judge
and former member of the Police Commission Brenda Harbin-Forte,
announced it had mailed the paperwork to officially start the recall
process after collecting 250 signatures for an official notice. In a
note explaining their concerns, the organizers accused Thao of creating
a public safety crisis in Oakland by “systematically dismantling” OPD,
firing former police chief LeRonne Armstrong, and failing to appoint a
new police chief, among other complaints.
“Lives have been lost, property destroyed, businesses have shut down,
and fear and collective trauma are daily occurrences for Oaklanders,”
the recall organizers wrote in their notice.
In response to an interview request from The Oaklandside, Harbin-Forte
said all press statements must go through her media coordinator, Seneca
Scott. After The Oaklandside sent Scott an email requesting an
interview, Scott, without directly responding to us, accused The
Oaklandside on Twitter of trying to discredit recall supporters by
reporting about the campaign.
Thao’s chief of staff, Leigh Hanson, said the recall effort is “led by
losers.”
“I know for a fact that if Mayor Thao had lost the election, she would
have conceded gracefully and found a legitimate job that contributed to
moving our community forward,” Hanson said. “I have faith that
Oaklanders are smarter than this, and will resist the urge to be
distracted by a desperate attempt for relevance.”
Thao said in a statement she has “the best job in the world” because she
gets to fight to make Oakland safer, more affordable, and more
prosperous.
“I ask all Oaklanders to help me achieve that vision with hope and
collaboration and push aside fear and division,” Thao said.
There are many steps supporters of a recall have to undertake before it
is put to voters during a scheduled election. One major step is the
recall organizers must collect signatures from at least 10% of the
population, according to state rules that govern recalls in Oakland.
According to Alameda County data, there are over 240,000 voters in the
city, which means the recall supporters must collect roughly 24,600
signatures.
The recall organizers’ main focus: crime
At the beginning of 2023, a group of people upset with District Attorney
Pamela Price’s new policies around prosecuting crime launched a recall
campaign against her, arguing that her progressive stances on issues
like not charging juveniles as adults and not seeking enhancements and
maximum prison sentences in all cases has contributed to worse crime in
Oakland. The organizers of the Thao recall are making similar claims
about the mayor. They accuse Thao of “systematically dismantling” the
police department, “unjustly” terminating the former police chief, and
failing to uphold her promise to hire a new chief.
Last year was a bad year for crime in Oakland. There were 17,256
burglaries in 2023—a 23% increase over 2022. Commercial burglaries were
up 9% compared to 2022, fueling growing discontent among business
owners, some of whom have dealt with multiple break-ins. Vehicle thefts
were up 45% compared to 2022, and robberies were up 38%.
Many crime trends started worsening before Thao took office as mayor.
For example, in 2019, Oakland ended the year with 75 murders. In 2020,
murders shot up to 102. In 2021, LeRonne Armstrong’s first year as
chief, murders further increased to 123—the highest in 15 years. Murders
appear to have plateaued at higher levels in 2022 and 2023, at 120 each

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Certain violent crimes in Oakland continue to
rise as the city is nearing a full year without a police chief.
New data analyzed by the ABC7 News I-Team and released in the latest
citywide crime report show robberies are up 38 percent since 2022 but are
down slightly when compared to numbers a decade ago.

Burglaries are up 23 percent compared to 2022 and motor vehicle thefts are

since 2013.
The last large burglary increase in Oakland was in 2019 with nearly 15,000
reported. In 2023, that figure was over 17,000.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- In September, Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao said she
would declare a state of emergency if the city's police commission didn't
send her a list of finalists for a new police chief. Now a coalition of
community groups is demanding that Mayor Thao follow through on that
promise.
"And we are saying to Mayor Sheng Thao - honor your word and declare a
state of emergency!" Edward Escobar told a small crowd rallying in front
of City Hall on Friday morning. Escobar is with the community group
Citizens United.
The mayor was sent a list of three police chief finalists, but she
rejected all three.
For the past few weeks, community groups have been rallying against
Oakland city leadership and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price,
demanding more be done to address public safety.
Virginia Nishita, who also spoke at the rally, said last week's shooting
death of Oakland Police Officer Tuan Le reminded her of what happened to
her husband, Kevin Nishita. Kevin was a former Bay Area police officer,
who was killed while guarding a local TV news crew. Nishita wants Price to
charge the three suspects in Kevin's murder case with the full extent of
the law, which means life sentences without the possibility of parole.

"The gun charges are being dismissed in my husband's case," Nishita said.
"So (the suspects) will be eligible to get parole."
Oakland City Councilmember Noel Gallo joined Friday's rally. He supports
declaring a state of emergency.
"We know who some of the criminals on the street are. We are not
prosecuting them. We are not arresting them," said Gallo. "We need to
declare an emergency to get assistance from the sheriff, the FBI, U.S.

"I think these people are afraid to say that they want to police

and new police initiatives, which include deploying more walking patrols
and establishing a mobile unit in the Fruitvale district.
"We have had a number of academies, the police academies, for the
individuals who are calling for police on the streets. Everything is being

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- The effort to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao
officially got underway on Saturday when a notice of intent was sent via
certified mail to the mayor by retired Alameda County Superior Court
Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte.
"There are too many lives that have been lost, too many cars stolen, too
many people who have been robbed -- coming from a bank, followed home.
Too many businesses have even closed. This mayor has blood on her
hands," said Harbin-Forte, who is the lead proponent of the recall.
The letter states: "You lack the competency, credibility, judgement and
ability to lead what was once a great American city."
As stated in the letter, grounds for the recall include creating a
public safety crisis by "systematically dismantling the Oakland police
department," delaying OPD's exit from 20 years of federal oversight,
missing the deadline for a multi-million dollar state grant to fight
retail theft, and rising crime."
"Businesses were not leaving Oakland at this pace before she came into
office. So we can't pretend that there is no correlation between her
decisions and what is happening with the city now," said Harbin-Forte.
"The roads are horrible. The streets are so flighty and dirty," said an
Oakland resident, who only gave her name as Ziba. "I think (Mayor Thao)
is incompetent. And she has to go."
Others who support the recall point to the Oakland A's leaving, problems
at the 911 emergency dispatch center, a cyber-attack and the ongoing
homeless problem.
Oakland City Councilmember Noel Gallo says he is "surprised" by the
recall and doesn't support it. He thinks it will create more divisions
in city hall. But he adds, he does support voters' right to take action.
"People are frustrated. They are disappointed. They want immediate
action to bring back Oakland to the level where it used to be," Gallo
said.
Gallo is calling for Thao to declare a state of emergency, which could
allow Oakland to seek state and federal funding and assistance from
outside law enforcement agencies.
Thao has admitted to mistakes at previous public forums.
"The buck does stop with me. I am the mayor. So I take full
responsibility for that," said Thao at an event in December about
missing the retail theft grant.
But Thao's supporters point to new programs underway, such as grants for
small businesses and new policing initiatives, even as Oakland tackles a
historic deficit. And they argue, though crime maybe up, it is not at
historic levels.
Harbin-Forte was on the Oakland Police Commission until she was removed
by Thao last year. Oakland City Councilmember Carroll Fife sees the
recall a political stunt.
"It's very disturbing that an individual that was released from a police
commission, for a number of factors, is part of an effort to unseat a
newly-elected mayor, who really hasn't had the opportunity to show
whether or not there can be real changes in a city. We have to turn
around an ocean liner in the City of Oakland," Fife said.
Harbin-Forte dismisses such accusations.
"What is happening in Oakland is serious. It is significant. And we
don't need anybody in this process who is trying to settle a grudge. And
I am certainly not doing that," she said.
Thao's office did not respond to requests for comment. Once the notice
is received, the mayor has seven days to respond.

> You assholes all voted these incompetent Democrat shitbags into
> office.
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- The effort to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao
officially got underway on Saturday when a notice of intent was sent via
certified mail to the mayor by retired Alameda County Superior Court
Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte.
"There are too many lives that have been lost, too many cars stolen, too
many people who have been robbed -- coming from a bank, followed home.
Too many businesses have even closed. This mayor has blood on her
hands," said Harbin-Forte, who is the lead proponent of the recall.
The letter states: "You lack the competency, credibility, judgement and
ability to lead what was once a great American city."
As stated in the letter, grounds for the recall include creating a
public safety crisis by "systematically dismantling the Oakland police
department," delaying OPD's exit from 20 years of federal oversight,
missing the deadline for a multi-million dollar state grant to fight
retail theft, and rising crime."
"Businesses were not leaving Oakland at this pace before she came into
office. So we can't pretend that there is no correlation between her
decisions and what is happening with the city now," said Harbin-Forte.
"The roads are horrible. The streets are so flighty and dirty," said an
Oakland resident, who only gave her name as Ziba. "I think (Mayor Thao)
is incompetent. And she has to go."
Others who support the recall point to the Oakland A's leaving, problems
at the 911 emergency dispatch center, a cyber-attack and the ongoing
homeless problem.
Oakland City Councilmember Noel Gallo says he is "surprised" by the
recall and doesn't support it. He thinks it will create more divisions
in city hall. But he adds, he does support voters' right to take action.
"People are frustrated. They are disappointed. They want immediate
action to bring back Oakland to the level where it used to be," Gallo
said.
Gallo is calling for Thao to declare a state of emergency, which could
allow Oakland to seek state and federal funding and assistance from
outside law enforcement agencies.
Thao has admitted to mistakes at previous public forums.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Surveillance video from early Friday morning
shows the popular Colonial Donuts in Oakland getting robbed for a second
time in one week.
"This is the third time that Colonial Donuts has been robbed. Two times
this week alone. Three times in the last six months. This is
unacceptable," said Brenda Ly, a spokesperson for the family that owns
Colonial Donuts.
A coalition of community groups rallied in front of Colonial Donuts on
Friday morning. They blame failed leadership and failed policies for
rising crime. They called out Alameda County District Attorney Pamela
Price, Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and Council President Nikki Fortunato
Bas.
"We are not safe, and it is because of policy. Not COVID. Not the
economy. Not late-stage capitalism. Policy. Otherwise, these things
would be happening in Berkeley, with the same frequency as they are
happening in Oakland," said Seneca Scott with Neighbors Together
Oakland.

robbery this year
Among the changes they want: bringing in more county and state
resources, hiring a police chief and enough police officers to be
proportionate to the city's population and calling for a state of
emergency.
"Sheng Thao, Nikki Bas, we need a state of emergency. We have got to
stop the (robbing) of the community, of the business community," said
Chris Moore, a candidate running for District 5 on the Alameda County
Board of Supervisors.
Examples of failed leadership include missing a state grant deadline to
tackle retail theft and the mishandling of 911 dispatcher applications,
even though that issue began before Mayor Thao took office.
"The city's Human Resources Management Department missed out on about
1,000 submitted 911 dispatcher applications for an entire year. Is that
acceptable, people?" said Edward Escobar with the Coalition for
Community Engagement.
The crowd responded with a resounding "No."
EXCLUSIVE: Popular 24-hour legacy donut shop in Oakland targeted in

Oakland city leaders counter these claims by saying crime is trending
downwards. The addition of foot patrol officers, having CHP help with
traffic mitigation, and the introduction of the mobile command center in
the Fruitvale District, they argue as evidence of that progress.
In a statement to ABC7 News, Mayor Sheng Thao writes, in part, "Oakland
has more police officers, safety ambassadors, and violence prevention
teams on our streets than any time in the past two years. We've also
increased patrols and undercover operations and provided funding to
business districts to enhance security."
But many at Friday's rally say these are just bandaid solutions to
ongoing issues.
"These are all superficial responses to what's been on going. We need
actual solutions that are sustainable," said Dr. Jennifer Tran,
president of the Oakland Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce.

A Lyft driver in the San Francisco Bay Area was arrested over the weekend
for allegedly taking an unconscious passenger to his home and sexually
assaulting her, authorities said Sunday.
Tonye Kolokolo, 46, faces charges of rape and false imprisonment, San
Bruno Police Department Lt. Ryan Johansen said in a statement.
Police accused Kolokolo of picking up the 25-year-old woman at a bar in
San Mateo early Saturday morning and then driving nearly 100 miles to his
home in Tracy after she passed out in his back seat.
There, Johansen said, Kolokolo allegedly raped the passenger.
The statement asked other people who may have had similar experiences with
the driver to contact authorities.
In a statement to NBC Bay Area, Lyft called the incident “terrifying” and
said Kolokolo’s access to the ride-share service had been permanently
removed.
The company said it had reached out to the passenger and was working with
the authorities.
Kolokolo, who is being held in San Mateo County Jail, was scheduled to be
arraigned Monday.
Court records didn’t a list a lawyer for him.

More than a month after a Lyft driver allegedly sexually assaulted a
woman, Cobb County police arrested the man Monday.
Jerome Antonio Booze, 39, of Decatur, remained in the Cobb jail on a
felony rape charge Thursday, according to records. Police have not said
why it took more than a month to arrest Booze.
Booze picked up a Smyrna woman from the Anchor Bar in northeast Atlanta
on Dec. 10 after she requested a Lyft to take her home, Channel 2 Action
News reported.

Police say he instead drove her to a parking lot and sexually assaulted
her. The victim was in no condition to consent, Channel 2 reported.
A Lyft spokesman sent the news station a statement saying the company
was devastated and banned Booze from using the Lyft app. The company has
also been assisting with Cobb police in their investigation.
