After the protests and rioting in the wake of the Johannes Mehserle verdict and officer layoffs, candidates for Oakland mayor are talking safety. Rashida Grinage of PUEBLO offers reaction to the mayoral candidates’ statements and the largest policing issues. Then, the Crucible has a fantastic new fire show called HEAT and we hear from founder Michael Sturtz.

Listen to the show here.

Hosted by Aimee Allison, OaklandSeen appears alternative Fridays on the KPFA Morning Show. Esther Manilla, Pamela Mays McDonald, Laura Prives and Sabrina Jacobs produce the show. The theme music provided by Oakland greats Carne Cruda.
