Ron Dellums at a somber news conference announcing the slayings. It was the first time in the history of the Oakland Police Department that three officers were killed in the line of duty in the same day. The violence began when two officers on motorcycles stopped a 1995 Buick sedan in east Oakland just after 1 p.m., Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said. The driver opened fire, killing one officer and gravely wounding another.

The gunman then fled on foot, police said, leading to an intense manhunt by dozens of Oakland police, California Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff deputies. Streets were roped off and an entire area of east Oakland closed to traffic. Around 3:30 p.m. officers got an anonymous tip that the gunman was inside a nearby apartment building.

Officers returned fire, killing 26-year-old Lovelle Mixon of Oakland, Acting Oakland police Chief Howard Jordan said. The slain officers were identified as Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40, who was killed at the first shooting. The officers killed at the second location were Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43, and Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35. Officer John Hege, 41, was in grave condition.

Angels with dirty faces

Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) is the ultimate Warner Brothers movie, even more so than Casablanca. Not only does it feature the finest performance of one of Warners’ biggest stars James Cagney, but it is arguably the greatest gangster picture ever, a genre Warners practically invented. There Rocky finds that “Father Jerry” is the pastor of the local church who is dedicated to guiding the destinies of the children and teenagers that live there.

Angels with Dirty Faces begins with the oft-used premise of two boyhood friends whose adult lives go in opposite directions. Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) leads a life of crime while Jerry Connolly (Pat O’Brien) becomes a priest. Rocky has just served a sentence in prison and he decides to take up residence in the New York slum neighborhood where he and Jerry grew up.

Cagney’s charismatic performance succeeds in making Rocky “the most lovable gangster in all of movies,” as Andrew Bergman put it in his book on Cagney’s films. Providing first-rate support are O’Brien, Ann Sheridan as Laury Ferguson, the neighborhood girl who falls in love with Rocky, Humphrey Bogart as crooked lawyer James Frazier, George Bancroft as mob boss Mac Keefer, Edward Pawley as a sadistic prison guard and, best of all, the “Dead End Kids” (Billy Halop, Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Gabriel Dell and Bernard Punsley) as the JDs.
