Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts Resigns

Whoa. Chief Anthony Batts has resigned, according to an internal OPD memo obtained by Harry Harris at the Trib. Per the Trib’s report, Batts’ e-mail attributed his resignation — which will become effective sometime next month — to mounting pressure and “limited control but full accountability” in his job

Apparently this was the dude who held the job previous to the acting police chief Howard Jordan. Sorry for the confusion.

    **EDIT/NOTE—This article was published on October 11 so any connection to Occupy Oakland would be tenuous at best.
