I went back home after the new year to see my parents and there was some pile burning underway. I still love the smell of smoke. I feel like I am home when I smell it. Here are some photos of the guys working in the smoke.
The officers who gave their lives in the service of the citizens of Oakland are heros. I hope that this sounds a sea change for the streets of Oakland. The violence needs to stop. The system is broken. I have hope that we can fix it.
