Description
For two decades, Oakland's police force has operated under court oversight — forced to reform itself as a result of a lawsuit brought by victims of the Riders, a group of officers accused of beating and framing people in front of a rookie cop who blew the whistle. Now, as OPD looks for another chief after the firing of LeRonne Armstrong, the department's failings are the subject of a new book, “The Riders Come out at Night.” Co-author Darwin BondGraham joins host Demian Bulwa to talk about the department's troubled history and current roadblocks to reform. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
