backed up the citizen's complaints led to an immediate angry response from then oakland police chief george hart. vern hawkins. >> angry officers responded to the report in which a number of people charged police use excessive force in dealing black residents. >> . that's nonsense. the investigation was shallow, inept, biased, the station used suggestion, old history in the most obvious forms of staging and editing to try to make their point. >> the report included charges from five black officers in the department. today other black officers said those five are not really representative. >> they are ones that have grievance was the city. they are unhappy with the department for whatever reason. they their views don't even begin to cover those of the department whether black or white. >> the report quoted officers and resident who see the department as racist and violent. >> the chief has no tolerance for any type of brutality and we know we will be fired officers have been fired who have used to much force. >> some members of the black officer's association said they support the five who came f

it gets people -- sometimes people who actually fit, someone like george appleby did thomas jefferson, a great jefferson scholar. gary hart, george mcgovern. and so there is a mix of historians and non historians looking at these presidencies telling the basic stories, but also giving your own individual spin on it. he asked me to of to the johnson book. i guess he figured i would put my individual spin on it. i agree to do it because arthur asked me, and i have great respect for him. i knew him from the papers. bieber both on the advisory committee. and also because paul dollop was the editor who was also the general series editor for the series. he was my editor for the book i did with burn and george. so these are to friends. you know how is. they asked me to do this. i said sure. i put aside my misgivings. i knew it was a fascinating topic with so much material. i wondered if i would be able to curb by natural feelings of antipathy about looking at this particular time in american history and agreed to do it. that was many years ago. this book is, i have to confess, long overdue. in between that i wrote the hemming sa

two attend bret harte elementary. two attend george washington parliamentary. i chose them because of the repetition in our neighborhood. there was a grant. 50% of our teachers had to leave and we had to lose our principal. we would love you to stop the superintendent's office from making independent come up arbitrary decisions on policies and programs that affect our children's lives without our participation. in the bayview, we live to survive. we have enough going on. to have decisions made for us on behalf of our children is deeply unfair. it is just not right. we want to stop the superintendent zone policy until parents, teachers, and community members can come together. schools have been able to come up with a transformation plan that reflects the value and culture, the proper representation of culture in our communities. i want to celebrate the national board of teachers. i thought that was awesome. that is fantastic. i am so proud. but how many of the teachers have even been encouraged to participate in those programs? we would love to stand in here wit
