Alan yu is the nicest guy ever. He works directly with such a tight nit community and handles their needs.

Seeing as both my car got broken into and my truck got stolen last week, both while in Oakland, I tend to agree with the video lol...

It is a pretty dangerous city, as is Richmond

I'm pretty sure, I heard it on KGO, the 8 man unit in the video was disbanded and sent to different commands.

Above is the news article, below is a quote from it :

"Meanwhile, an eight-man police gang unit featured in the documentary was disbanded a little more than two weeks ago"

The date of the article is 9/15/09 so it's been disbanded since around 9/1.

Heh, learn something new everyday!!

Last time i we received some training was before the 1st, so that makes sense.

Dont understand why we dont have one anymore? Maybe they are going to form another specialized unit?

I heard two different things, don't know if either is true:

1. Oak doesn't need a white task force to break up black gangs.

2. (I think it was a spokesman for the Oakland mayor or the city council that said) We ran out of budget money this year for the gang task force.

So if #1 is true, you might see a new racial mixed task force, and if #2 is true, you won't see any GTF for a while. Either or both could be full of hot air.

I've worked in downtown Oakland for the past few years and its grown on me. The Oakland / Piedmont area is really nice - I'd love to live there if I had the money. Yeah there are some sketchy areas but overall its cool.
