and Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said they hope the community will understand how fundamentally different Oakland's police department is now.
"I'm hopeful this will be a new day," said John Burris," "We don't want people stopped because of their race. We don't want them beat up because of that. We don't want shootings. We don't want other misuse of force." "We wanted to make sure that our African-American officers, our ethnic officers were treated fairly, a consistency of discipline," said Burris.
"For those who have stayed and taken on this tremendous challenge, I really want to recognize them for their hard work," said Armstrong.
