Derrick Jones
Derrick Jones was shot to death on November 8, 2010 by Oakland Police Officers Eriberto Perez-Angeles and Omar Daza-Quiroz.
Jones was unarmed when he was shot. Officers said they saw a metal object in his hands, which they believed was a weapon. This morning, Oakland Police identified the object as an electronic pocket scale.
Perez-Angeles and Dara-Quiroz were both involved in a previous shooting incident on July 19, 2008 that resulted in the death of Leslie Allen, according to records from the Oakland Police Department and the Alameda County District Attorney.
The Jones shooting is being investigated by the Alameda County District Attorney’s office, as well as the Homicide and Internal Affairs sections of OPD. District Attorney’s reviews often take several months to complete, and have been known to stretch on for years. Former Chief of Police Batts asked the FBI to investigate the shooting.
Perez-Angeles is the fourth current member of OPD’s SWAT team to be involved in an officer-involved shooting since 2003, according to OPD records. Both he and Daza-Quiroz remained on paid administrative leave, which is standard practice after an officer-involved shooting.
From the February 2011 Alameda County DA’s report on the shooting of Derrick Jones: “There is a lack of evidence to support a prosecution against eitherofficer. This office will take no further action.”
Say Her Name — Vigil for Kishana Harley
Our dear friend and comrade Kishana Harley was found murdered in her home in Richmond Thursday. She was incredibly committed to making the world a better place for all people, and was as warm, caring and wonderful person as anyone could ever hope to meet. She worked tirelessly on a Value Human Life Bill petition and was a close friend and supporter of the Pedie Perez’ family. Harley had four children, a 2-year-old, a 3-year-old, a 14-year-old, and an 18-year-old who just graduated from Marine boot camp. She was also deeply involved with the Oscar Grant Committee, the fight for justice in the police murder of Pedie Perez, and an activist who attended Richmond city council meetings on a regular basis.
There will be a vigil for Harley on
Thursday evening, July 26th at 6-8 PM
in the Richmond community center of the Monterey Pine apartment complex where she lived:

Pass AB 931, Stop Police Use of Force
Get on the Bus to Sacramento: Public Safety Hearing, June 19th 2018
On Tuesday, June 19, Assembly Bill 931, the Police Accountability and Community Protection Act, will be heard in committee for the first time.
We need to let the Legislature know that higher standards for police use of force is critical to save lives—they must pass AB 931 out of the Senate Public Safety Committee. AB 931 will make it more difficult for CA police to justify violent use of force against our communities. Show up to Sacramento on June 19 to pack the room and deliver a short ‘me too’ statement to the Senators to voice your support.
