The prosecutors hired by recalled DA Pam Price got caught suppressing evidence and had to assert the 5th in court:

Judge Rejects Bid to Toss Case Against Former San Leandro Officer Jason Fletcher

https://www.kqed.org/news/12064150/judge-rejects-bid-to-toss-case-against-former-san-leandro-officer-jason-fletcher

"After current District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson inherited the case earlier this year, her office discovered that prosecutors under Price had sought opinions from several police use-of-force experts who concluded Fletcher's actions were not criminal, according to court filings.

Those opinions were not disclosed to the defense a violation of the district attorney's discovery obligations, both sides now agree.

Fletcher's defense filed a voluminous motion to dismiss in August, which was heard on Friday.

Three former employees under Price invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at the start of the hearing, including Zachary Linowitz, who previously oversaw the case, and James Conger, the former head of the unit in charge of cases against public officials."

*DOJ prosecutors are going to find themselves in similar jams when the Reign of Terror ends in our country. The difference being that Trump will have to pardon every prosecutor in the DOJ on his way out the door……but he can't protect them from the various state bars yanking their tickets for ethical violations.

Since they caught him wandering around hours after the shooting it may be a case of a guy living on the streets with a substance abuse problem that was hanging around the field and may have been told by the Coach, more than a few times, to take off.

Since the police are saying Coach was targeted, I can't think of other scenarios.

Recalled DA Pamela Price says she'll reclaim her seat in 2026

https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/05/courts/recalled-district-attorney-pamela-price-will-run-again/?ref=tbs-today-newsletter&attribution_id=6932334f5a591b0001509920&attribution_type=post

Do you know what Woody Allen would say about that?
"That is a travesty. It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham."

*She will get blown up in the primary when District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson gets more than 50% of the vote and is declared the winner. The DA's Office will never again split the vote by running two candidates like it did when Price survived the primary and won the Election. This will be the final coffin nail in her faux prosecutor career.

The entire county will turn out to vote, unlike in the election she won, but like the special election that recalled her.

This case got tossed. If it ever had merit (it didn't), Madame DA's prosecutors suppressing evidence torpedoed the case. Let a civil jury give the decedent's family the county's entire social welfare budget in damages if they want to. Twice tasered and still coming at you with a bat…..that's a good shooting (sad, however).

https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/13/courts/jason-fletcher-manslaughter-case-dismissed/

"In addition to describing in detail what unfolded inside Walmart, the prosecutor also spoke at length about the "ethical violations" she said took place in relation to the case under former DA Pamela Price.
"There were efforts to utilize the case against Officer Fletcher in a way that is antithetical to the purpose of the criminal justice system, that is antithetical to ethics and the rule of law," Williams said.
"To use the power of the prosecutor as a weapon to go after enemies, to go after anyone for political advantage, that is an abomination," she continued.

She said Price hires had shopped around for use-of-force experts who would support their theory of the case and failed to tell the defense when they found the opposite.

Williams also said there was "a big difference" between holding police accountable for criminal conduct and "nakedly" announcing a plan to prosecute "killer cops," as Price had done.

"DA Price unfortunately took the latter tack," Williams said. "She enlisted people … to assist her in an agendized prosecution that created the foundation for the ethics violations that happened later."

They said he was flipping off other council members which is most likely.

As a former resident and current home owner in Oakand I support the use of flock. The only nay was from the very scary council person that reps the area around oakland west. Flipping the bird would not be something I'd do but this is the climate we live in.

Bingo.

Or have people been living in a cave and never have seen Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert's antics in Congress and during the previous President's State of the Union speech?

Not the climate we live in?

The poor behavior of MTG, Trump, and Boebert isn't an excuse for this Oakland Councilperson nor folks on this board to be pompous jerks. You and others are not victims of the "climate we live in".

Who is victimized? I just don't want t get killed, mauled or maimed and if I do I'd like some ability for law enforcement to track these criminals down. Just yesterday in a nice drive up the hill for a run in Chabot I almost got killed or maimed (not once but twice) had I not looked both ways before going thru a green. It's a lesson that was etched indelibly into my head by a SF cop who happened to be my football coach.

That's a straw man's argument.
I never said I was a victim.

Got it. At the very least I am glad we can now agree that, despite your assertion a few posts above, the councilperson isn't a victim of "the climate we live in" and his flipping off his constituents is inappropriate and not excused.

So if you were to desribe "the climate we live in" please do….or come to oakland and we can grab a burrito on International blvd at Il Paisa and cruise around The Town.

*recall in my post I asserted that it's not something I'd do.
Now whether or not Houston feels victimized go ask him.

I concede. Oakland is so bad that councilpersons are justified flipping people off.

You are a no account fraud liar. Joe Magee

He said the jester was for other council members who don't want change for Oakland/ fine with the status quo.

Oakland's political structure is needs to be shaken up …

Cameras are useless if there are no jobs or jobs that pay the rent. Why work and be broke vs just being broke …

The only "antics" of Lauren Boebert that I am interested in are the one's that take place in a dark playhouse. Methinks she would be endless sh@its and giggles on a date.
