    As an important Public Safety Committee is coming next Tuesday, I wrote an article for the East Bay Express about the potential fate of Oakland's Civilian Police Review Board.  You can check in out here:

    One person who's planning to be at the June 23rd meeting, is Marcel Diallo, who I recently interviewed for my Spot artiicle.  He was handcuffed and put in a police cruiser for an hour in the middle of the night on Memorial Day, for what he says was no reason.  The incident got him upset, and so now hes joined the fight to try and get an effective civilian review board of the OPD.  I Interviewed him recently--click here for a segment of that interview where he describes what happened.
