It is very surprising to see a great progressive leader demonized due to the cold reality of pragmatism and balancing ideals with public safety and the rest of the will of the citizens in Oakland. I too have an organizing background and as a member of a minority group and growing up in a lower class family, understand the anxiety and mission of the movement, but still think she made the right call, the delivery on the other hand with tear gas and police use of force WAS a bad call by the other city officials. There has to be a way to embrace the ideals of the movement without the blight to downtown and strain to the city budget.
