Civilians Take Over Oakland Police Dept After 3rd Chief Ousted During Underage Sex Scandal

"In September of last year, Officer Brendan O’Brien killed himself a little more than a year after police say his wife, Irma Huerta-Lopez, also took her life. Although police have not revealed the reason why, immediately after O’Brien’s suicide, an internal affairs probe began looking into whether any current officers committed sexual misconduct with a minor.
Months after the probe was launched, it sent shockwaves through the department and eventually spread to other departments."
