This drives me crazy.
Why would the the Chron even post this?
There is literally no information in the blurb.
It doesn't even hint at who the source is.
It just drags me into this feeling of cover-up. If it's not, why would this victim deserve so little attention? I'm going to do a public records request

5 dead by OPD in 2007, at least three more wounded
The last homicide of 2007 was committed by the OPD on Andrew Moppin, 20
The Tribune reported that
"It was the fifth fatal officer-involved shooting in Oakland in 2007."
However, at least one of those was never identified in the press, and at least 3 other suspects were wounded by police guns, unidentified, the Tribune has yet to follow up.
And, yes, police shootings are included included in the homicide rate.

Chief Hambleton's cover up
I went to a subcommittee meeting of the Berkeley Police Review Commission some months after this article was printed.
One of the subcommittee members asked him why the internal affairs investigation had failed to ascertain the exact amount of drugs stolen. The Chief responded that to him it was only a matter of curiosity and not worth the resources it would take to discover the extent of the crime.
It is popularly held belief in Berkeley that Kent not only stole these drugs for himself but to sell in the community. I have spoken to individuals who claim to have bought from him.
Many Berkeleyans following the case, felt that if the investigation had uncovered the amount of drugs stolen, it would have been obvious that Kent had stolen far more than he would have been able to consume.

Gary King, Jr.
I hate that Gary King, Jr. was shot in the back by Sgt. Gonzalez.
It makes me hostile and outraged towards the police and the police administrators.
I do love how Oakland remembers its culture and history. The public schools in Oakland are atrocious so most of it gets passed down through oral history.
This is 3rd shooting by Gonzalez, all his victims are young black men who had the audacity to try to run from him.
