Pete Sarna, Oakland School District's Top Cop, Suspended For Racial Slur: Pete Sarna, the chief of the Oakland Unified School District's police department, has been placed on paid administrative leave while district officials look into allegations that he repeatedly used racial slurs against African American and Asian American officers after a day of drinking at a charity golf tournament.
The San Francisco Chronicle's Matier and Ross report:
As the group was headed home afterward through the Caldecott Tunnel, [the complainant's attorney Joe] O'Sullivan said, Sarna [who is white] turned to an African American sergeant and began cursing him, saying no blacks should be allowed to live in Orinda and that 'the only good n- is a dead n- and they should hang you in the town square to prevent any other n- from coming in the area.'
