- It took more than a year, but Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has finally announced a new police chief. Floyd Mitchell was most recently the police chief in Lubbock, Texas. Before that, he was the chief in Temple, Texas. Mitchell will lead a department that hasn't had a police chief since Mayor Thao fired LeRonne Armstrong. Oakland City Councilmember Noel Gallo joins CBS News Bay Area Elizabeth Cook to discuss the Mayor's pick and the ongoing crime and public safety issues, particularly in the Hegenberger Corridor, where several businesses have shut down recently

Nothing is going to change in Oakland until there are responsible mothers and fathers in the black community.
This. 💯
Where are all the black clergymen?? They should be preaching this to the high heavens every Sunday morning.
Good luck chief because you're going to need it.
Noel Gallo voted to defund the police and he has the gall to say that safety and security is the most important. SMH. Gallo has got to go in order for Oakland to move forward.
Can we hire based on skill and experience not on skin color
Kind of funny how all police Chiefs now have to be black, like overnight they've become the most qualified people in the world
Welcome to Joe Biden America
That really triggers you doesn't it.
More black chiefs equal less rioting I guess
Oakland residents will riot if they hire a White guy to be Chief.....LOL
@@graymatters2 instantly triggers me, so sick and tired of seeing incompetent people, generally low IQ people put in positions of controlling smart people. You just don't realize how affirmative action has completely destroyed the perception of these people
Now Mitchell can do the same thing in Oakland, as he did in Texas.
Nah, nothing will change. The laws and DA will see to that.
Huge challenge ahead of him. Businesses can’t stay open due to crime and many citizens want to leave. I hope things can turn around.
He's in for a rude awakening.
Rude is just the first meal. wait for dessert...
Hardly. Look up crime rate in Lubbock Texas. He's no stranger to crappy crime ridden areas. Let's see what he gets for a budget, as well as for the DA's office.
@@harlanjackson6112 I checked violent crime rates of Lubbock which stand at 2.23 per 1,000 while Oakland stands at 12.2 per 1,000. That’s nearly 6 times as high. I’m sure managing Lubbock is no easy feat, but nothing could prepare any chief for all of the issues Oakland has. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for him but he’s inheriting a giant mess that politicians have left for him… and I hope he’s up for the challenge.
@@shiftmove371 Given that he spent the vast majority of his career (25 years) working as a LEO in Kansas City with an even higher violent crime rate than Oakland, I suspect nothing will surprise him. His job will be to address all crime, and I for one suspect he is up for the task. In any event, no rude awakening IMO.
I don’t buy it… he left as police of chief because of “slow 911 answer times”?? For one, NO way a Police Chief leaves for that reason. For two, if they DID leave for that reason, why would he move somewhere that ALSO receives criticism for slow 911 response times? I’ve heard two news stations say this, but it just sounds so random to me. Anyone else have more insight?
Hard to find information but it's very fishy to me. He has moved around the country a lot to different departments...that usually happens when you are f'ing up and looking to get away from your mistakes.
I'll give him a year that's the average tenure in OPD
Build a political resume.....couple of years and out
Oakland is not Texas! He will be gone soon
Why doesn't anyone in the Oakland police department want to step forward as chief?
Because they have common sense.
because the police commission hand pick them and vets them. mayor can only choose from the list. why it took so long when both party that hates working with each other. FYI that goofy EX police commission Brenda Harbin-Forte (the same one that's trying to recall sheng) was the reason it took so long and why she was fired.
Their part of the 33,000 leaving California 😮
It won't make any difference.
Yes it will.
By June, he will sue Oakland when he gets fired.
So it will add another lawsuit to Oakland.
black white brown.....yellow? red?
Good luck to the new chief. Doubt that it will make any change, because we still have the understaffed OPD, understaffed 911 operators, idiot Pamela Price, and the $$ elected officials who are good at talking but no good at doing anything.
gooood luck
Oakland is a beautiful city. It has more open space/parks than any other city in the country. There are so many wonderful things about this city. We just need to get the municipal government to be functional and work with other agencies.
What drug are you on?
Oakland is the sewer of America.
What we need to for one group to really get their act together, acknowledge issues within their own community and be held accountable for their actions....if we can get on this program, we can literally solved at least 80% of the issues within Oakland!
I take it you don't live here, or anywhere near Oakland.
@@mrsleep0000 Wrong. I've lived her a very long time. I take it you don't!
@@RandomCaliforniaAdventure "one group"? Way to use youtube to hide your racist BS. It's a lot more complicated than blaming "one group" for all of Oakland's problems.
At the end of the day.
He won't last a year. 2 max. CA is not TX.
I would bet he couldn't last a year
Let the arrest begins!
No one can help Oakland.
Thao must go!
ANOTHER Very Poor Choice, based on Skin Color Alone ....
Crime in Oakland so bad, the city had to steal its police chief from Lubbock. 🙃
Now, how about a new Mayor?
He left an unfinished project and a broken dispatch system in Lubbock. The officers he commanded said he showed racial favoritism, and he ultimately destroyed the morale of the Lubbock Police Department. Interesting choice for Chief.
Impossible deliver.......its the DA and Judges 👨⚖️.......
Another pick base on color!!
Wow just wow your a sad individual
I'll be willing to bet that no whites were even interviewed
That's not correct or appropriate to say. He has extensive experience
@@Earth_wind_dan_fire Claudine gay, Fanny willis, the entire black caucus, mayors of many large American cities New York City Chicago etcetera, the one thing they all have in common is incompetence and Corruption
Of course, it is Oakland.
Do you think Oakland really wants to clean up crime?
They need all these people to keep them in office.
Yeah will hire from the outside??? Boy this poor guy doesn't know what he's in for!😮
He has got to find a way to have other agency do the job. They need mental health services and social workers. People need 12 step programs for drug addiction and finding ways to keep from prosecuting minors.
Oakland needs lots of targeted house searches, check points in difficult areas, get lots of undercover police, build an El Salvador style huge jail to incarcerate any criminal.
It was 40 percent African American now it’s 25 percent
Too many
Maybe u can move to Alaska
DON'T GET THIS $HIT TWI$TED‼ THIRD COAST BORN GOING TO SHOW OAKILLAND WHAT'S DAT STAR ⭐ABOUT, CAUSE DEY DON'T KNOW‼
