by Guest Commentary August 13, 2021August 12, 2021

Mandate higher education for California police officers

by Guest Commentary March 26, 2021March 25, 2021
Hundreds gathered at Oscar Grant Plaza downtown Oakland on May 29, 2020 in solidarity with protesters in Minneapolis against the killing of George Floyd by police officers. In an attempt to address a legacy of racism, California lawmakers later adopted a law creating a committee to study reparations for the state's complicity in slavery.
