probationary period of one year, at the end of which if successful, the department will be returned back to local control. but not everyone is convinced. >> we can look back to last year when they were mired in a racist and sexist text messaging scandal. we can look back to the year before during the torchlight uprising. tim: he believes despite the years of oversight, opd has not fundamentally changed. he says he wants to see the city divert money from the department's budget. >> we are in a housing crisis in the city of oakland. there are thousands of people who need critical support. quite frankly, when it comes to law enforcement, i think our money is better spent elsewhere. tim: armstrong says he knows building trust within the community can take time but he says he remains determined to do it. >> true transparency is not just about releasing video. it is about when you are changing policy that is going to
