Susan Manheimer Interim Chief Covers For Oakland Police Officer Wearing Boogaloo Boys Hawaiian Shirt
Susan Manheimer Interim Chief Covers For Oakland Police Officer Wearing Boogaloo Boys Hawaiian Shirt - Video
Susan Manheimer Interim Chief Covers For Oakland Police Officer Wearing Boogaloo Boys Hawaiian Shirt Two days ago, I wrote the following account: Do Oakland Police Have Racist Boogaloo Boys As Cops? Some Think So After This Officer Photo The Boogaloo Boys are a group described as in Refinery 29 as "mostly white, heavily armed men who claim they have a “libertarian” bent, and have shown up to protests against police violence in recent weeks armed to the teeth and looking to start a race war." One man, Air Force Sgt. Steven Carrillo, was charged in the shooting of Dave Patrick Underwood, a federal officer in Oakland during a George Floyd protest. They are also known for wearing Hawaiian shirts. This vlog is based on a Facebook post made 9 hours ago. It reads (by one resident) "If you are not familiar with the Boogaloo Bois, you should be. They are one of the scarier far right militia/racist types. Wearing Hawaiian type shirts is their thing. Here, we see one of them in the Oakland police department." The person who took and posted the video wrote "I’m watching a team of at least 15 OPD serve a warrant on a black family with small child in West Oakland right now, with assault rifles out. One of the cops is wearing a Hawaiian shirt under his plate carrier. I called out “hey Boogaloo boy! Since when does OPD dress like Nazis?” They know what it is. (It’s all over now, cops have left)" I am in the process of reaching out to the Oakland Police, and to Oakland elected officials, for answers to this. Stay tuned. After posting the content, I sent it to the Mayor of Oakland, the Oakland Police Media, and several Oakland City Councilmembers. The Oakland Police Public Information Officer said she would follow-up with me on the matter. I am still waiting. Meanwhile, this happened... On Facebook, an Oaklander posted an email from Susan Manheimer, the Oakland Interim Police Chief. It's words, as you can see, were shocking. Rather than say she was investigating the matter, and leaving it at that, Manheimer bypassed OPD Media, and wrote that there was no connection between Hawaiian shirts and any extremist group. That, even though she admitted reading my blog post. Why the Interim Police Chief would risk being seen as defending an officer who might be a member of the racist Boogaloo Boys is alarming, and could lead to her fast ouster. I think it should, personally. There is only one answer here, and it's not a good one. The Oakland Police Commission and Mayor of Oakland must step in. And we know where that can lead. Stay tuned.
