Mayor Quan of Oakland, the Worst Mayor in the World
Mayor Quan of Oakland is the most deserving of our Fart Winner award. She’s unbelievably incompetent. She had no competition for this category, even Nancy Pelosi fell back to a distant second.
This is for you Mayor Bronx Cheer-SoundBible.com-524243477
In this video Mayor Quan says it was a good day for the rioters, excuse me, protesters. She thanks them and congratulates the 99% movement. Here they are all saying it was mostly peaceful with just some isolated incidents of graffiti. First of all, the majority were rioting, secondly there were ten officers hurt, furthermore human waste and brick and bombs are thrown at officers, and there was millions of dollars of damage. They literally ripped out a 1000 streetlights.The Mayor allowed the rioters to return two days after the riots.
The Oakland police are confused by Mayor Quan of Oakland’s handling of the OWS riots. They’re confused, I’m downright flabbergasted.
Here is their open letter to the citizens -
1 November 2011 – Oakland, Ca.
We represent the 645 police officers who work hard every day to protect the citizens of Oakland. We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many City beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.
As your police officers, we are confused.
On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.
Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.
To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.
That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?
It is all very confusing to us.
Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.
The Mayor and her Administration are beefing up police presence for Wednesday’s work strike they are encouraging and even “staffing,” spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for additional police presence – at a time when the Mayor is also asking Oakland residents to vote on an $80 parcel tax to bail out the City’s failing finances.
All of these mixed messages are confusing.
We love Oakland and just want to do our jobs to protect Oakland residents. We respectfully ask the citizens of Oakland to join us in demanding that our City officials, including Mayor Quan, make sound decisions and take responsibility for these decisions. Oakland is struggling – we need real leaders NOW who will step up and lead – not send mixed messages. Thank you for listening.
