Re:One Oakland police officer made $490k in overtime by triceratops on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @12:49PM (#49348545)
1 in 6 officers were on leave the entire year? What is that about?

Like I wrote in another comment, both can be simultaneously true. The department is both understaffed and possibly does not manage its overtime well.

No clue my friend. Public sector unions do weird things.

I didn't see that comment, but I don't disagree with you. I was just trying to understand a little more about the staffing levels.
