Federal Judge ends decades of #oversight for #Oakland police department after rogue cop Riders #scandal in 2003

“It’s important for the court to get out of the way,” said U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick dismissing the consent decree issued 23 years ago.

Longtime federal monitor Robert Warshaw agreed stating "the Oakland #Police Department can continue its forward path no longer tethered to the court"

Still #OPD has long lagged behind set #PolceReform watchdog benchmarks, with reports finding the department had consistently fallen out of compliance with the landmark accord known as the Negotiated Settlement Agreement.

Earlier this month Warshaw had found the agency was operating below a key benchmark for investigating the most serious citizen complaints against its officers.
