- This television news program is about police brutality in Oakland, California, 1974. The narrator talks about how the town was over half black in the 1960's and the police force was all white, and how blacks were generally treated with disrespect. Some of the policemen interviewed say they were hired as super cops and did not want to change the way things were run. Changes were implemented, blacks were hired, and blacks in the community were beginning to feel a change as older policemen were told to be less aggressive or be fired. An Action Review Panel was set up to review police-community relations. Several incidents resulting in arrest of blacks and charges of disorderly conduct were heard by the panel. Speaking in this film is Ron Dellums and police chief, George Hart. The song, "Hey, You Old Oakland Town" is heard as the camera scans streets and black community of Oakland. Fro the US National Archives.

Omigod, I'm so loving all these films y'all upload. The voice overs, the music, the shots. Fantastic. Thank you so much!
This show was part of a program called assignment 4. It was a political affairs/investigative reports documentary that aired on KRON channel four in San Francisco .
You must be a white chick 😂
Oakland and Detroit are sister cities. Much love to the East Bay
Similar history
That's real talk,,,we also both have the same swag,,,I met some dudes one time and I thought they was from Oakland and they was straight from the D👍👌🥂
They are not “sister cities”.
@@workedfortheciawhenisoldrock Why don't you think so? Both are deep in Black History, civil rights & soul music
@@FinesseTheFrank why? Look up “sister cities” and then look up the sister cities of Detroit. 1 of them is Qatar” or some shit. I’m from Philly , one of our sister cities is a placed in Italy. American cities are never sister cities with each other. It’s always an American city and a “foreign “ city. Not to be confused with “twin cities “. Now , America cities can be similar but black history and /or southern roots does not make cities “sister cities “.
This ia sad. Im from Oakland. I grew up with loving people. Caring men and women. The hustlers had their area where they did their business. Not up and down the street like they do now. I miss how Oakland once was then. We had people who owned their own businesses The Lincoln Theatre Thift shops cafes laundry mats Record shops Piano teachers voice teachers doctors MDs Dentists and shops all up and down 14th streets. Integration and Urban renewal destroyed our economic base. So now the police is bragging about the great job they are doing.
Flints BBQ😍

Assignment Four was a documentary/investigative TV show that aired on KRON 4 in San Francisco from the early 1960's to about 1974-1975.
Check out the police cars. Dodge Polara, Royal Monaco, Plymouth Fury, Ford Galaxie 500.
Love My City, good documentary to teach me what happened and how I and many got here.
ReelBlack keep dropping these Bangers👌
I absolutely loved this! My grandfather was a cop in Oakland during that time, and I was actually able to see his name pop up on the arrest records page 😂😂😂
This type of training needs to be refunded
Watching in 2023
The train is still there!?
Watching 2024😊
That white cop car 1313 says it all, whose in control. They make films about All their antics, maybe not expecting CZcams later would make it public
It’s worked out well.
born in Oakland Jul 3 1971 and still here in West Oakland now there's white people jogging with their dogs 28th street and Magnolia
Crazy about them grays; you went to Prescott?
@@maa7332 nah, back then I was living in East Oakland I went to Franklin and then Glenview
@@nhoomiteub Why are you complaining you Niggas did nothing to keep your neighborhood
@@nhoomiteub I was born in San Francisco and grew up in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. I have to take BART to San Francisco and I see the gentrification of West Oakland. Back in the day it was very blighted.
Yes they turned West Oakland into Berkeley
As a Bay Area resident and 52 years old this is a great video. Citizens organize and say "off the pigs" and this video is a great way to see how that lands. The issues w marxism and progressive ideas is seemingly nothing gets done. Oakland is a failed urban experiment. The grift and corruption gutted the place. Sanctuary it def is not
The officer who has a 'small man' complex was 5 feet and 8 inches tall which isn't short. Maybe 5 feet and 3 inches is short for a modern day male but 5'8" isn't.
Thanks.. I’m 5ft 3

5:27 - What?! No way!
Dellums
Hey can you find one made on Fillmore in the 60s or 70s,san Francisco because I've seen the James Baldwin one thanks
I'm not sure if you will see this or not, but do you know if this documentary was funded by the police department or not?
No. It was done by KRON 4 which at one time was an NBC National Broadcasting Corporation affiliate and owned by The San Francisco Chronicle. This series was called Assignment Four which was a documentary, investigative reports show. This show ran from 1960 to about 1975.
Now people are begging for more police. Go figure.
Went straight to west Oakland tho
Leavenworth Kansas. Protesting and didn't do nothing. Just no justice no peace
Isn't Leavenworth the United States federal penitentiary and military displinary barracks?
THE TRAIN THE FREEWAY IS STILL THERE!?
Cool !
Wow didn’t change just city changed the fashion that’s it
I thought the train was newer but it’s 49 years old otherwise it’s older than that the freeway over there is like this freeway
The part where the men was dwb “driving while black” pulled over by police . That was definitely West Grand and Market
The Year I was Born... How old am I?
48 years old, almost 50.
49 now
And this is why we fight for reparations for my city and California ✊🏾
Compared to present day, Oakland was a better place to live. All the violences was confined to the East and West.

Those test tubes and the scale

Is there gas in the car? “
What is agra-business?😏😒
Agribusiness as in _"agriculture business"_ . The large scale industrialization and commercialization of agriculture as opposed to smaller family operated farms into more efficient vertically integrated _"factory style"_ corporate farms harnessing the technological advancements in automation with the need for *fewer workers for labor intensive processes* while increasing the overall productive output of arable land through higher crop yields. This serves to simultaneously reduce prices for consumers as farms can now make smaller margins of profit per unit of output but make up for losses by selling larger volumes of goods while expanding newer and niche uses for surplus food products which might otherwise go to waste. Which is why, you and I pay for 10% ethanol as a fuel additive to our gasoline, utilize high fructose *corn* syrup as a cheaper alternative to actual sugar, and pay roughly $0.59 cents per pound of bananas year round even though bananas are grown in Central America and imported into the US. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agribusiness Here's an interesting tidbit of information if you ever want to impress or _potentially disgust_ your friends, family, and coworkers. If you read the listed ingredients on many of the food items which you buy such as cereal, ice cream, cookies, or bread and find an ingredient listed as *CELLULOSE* which is added as thickener, you can astonish them with the knowledge that cellulose is just an industry term for a food additive made from actual *SAWDUST* . www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a19525743/foods-that-contain-sawdust/ *31 Foods You Eat Regularly That Contain Sawdust It turns out this disturbing ingredient is everywhere* _Bon appetit_ !
WOW thangs don't change.
Even the train is still there
Before the Feds invented crack
They had the SAME OPPORTUNITIES, I DID THEY JUST LEARNED TO LIVE OFF OF EVERYONE ELSE THAT WOULD WORK...
