Barry Donelan, president of the Oakland Police Officers’ Association, joins Michael Shure and Ana Kasparian to give his take on the city’s reduction in Oakland police officers and the arrival of former NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton. Will the potential implementation of Bratton’s stop-and-frisk method help or exacerbate Oakland’s problems? Donelan says, “We will take any and all help, whether it’s Bratton or anyone else. But we don’t want a Band-aid. We need a long-term strategy to deal with the crime problem in Oakland.”
