In this episode, we dive into this week’s breaking local story about the violence of the Alameda County Sheriff Department – this is the department that oversees Santa Rita County Jail as well as a variety of other policing activities in the county.
Forty-seven Alameda County sheriff deputies have been relieved of their duties after an internal audit revealed they had failed psychological exams required to be an officer. Some of the deputies had failed as far back as 2016 but were allowed to continue working. This revelation comes as a result of an investigation into a sheriff deputy murdering a couple in their home the previous week – that deputy was allegedly having an affair with a woman in that couple.
We are joined by James Burch of the Anti-Police Terror Project and then by Jose Bernal with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to discuss.
