After hours of public comment on Tuesday night, Oakland Councilmembers Carroll Fife and Rowena Brown voted no on OPD’s proposed 2.25 million dollar contract with the private surveillance company Flock Safety.
Here’s Councilmember Fife.
“ I have no idea how we as a sanctuary city support anything with any association with Donald Trump and any association with Peter Thiel or any of his conservative billionaire cronies who are working to reshape this country in the image of something that looks nothing like the people who came here to speak today.”
In a statement, the Anti-Police Terror Project said they expect that Flock will continue to pursue the contract.
