Match Analysis

As I have awaited the news on the name of the officer who was murdered this morning, hoping that it wasn't an officer, I knew. Once I received the news, unfortunately, it was an officer who I knew and policed in my neighborhood who personally responded to several of my calls for service. Earlier this year, Officer Tuan Le came to my home because there were criminals consistently casing my home, hanging out on my property between 3am and 6am. These criminals were stealing things off my front porch and things in yard with swords visibly in their hands walking around my property. Officer Le requested more frequent patrolling in my neighborhood. He would personally drive past my home and look around my property when he could in between answering service calls. There was a time when I left my garage door open, and he personally knocked on my door to let me know that I left it open because he knew that wasn't my norm. Officer Le was a great cop who cared about the community in Oakland. He was fearless cop. He was always willing to do whatever it took to keep our communities safe. This is heartbreaking and loss for the city of Oakland. I am praying for his family and friends during this difficult time.
