Dramatic infighting of the Oakland Police Commission came to a head this week when the body's chair, Tyfahra Milele, lost her bid to keep her spot for a second term and announced she's suing the attorney who heads up the panel that selects the new round of commissioners.
In a verbal attack Wednesday during what was supposed to be a job interview for a second term on the Oakland Police Commission, Milele said that civil rights attorney Jim Chanin, who chairs the Selection Panel Committee, is in it for personal gain.
Milele ended up receiving zero votes from the Selection Panel Committee which instead, selected five other police commission candidates, which will eventually be whittled down to two. Her suit alleges that the selection panel has been "carried out for years in an arbitrary and capricious manner, with repeated violations of due process on account of profound legal and financial conflicts of interests."of having a conflict of interest, as he, along with civil rights attorney John Burris, sued Oakland 20 years ago to ensure police reforms, while simultaneously showing "profound" bias against current and former members of the Oakland Police Commission.
