| Oakland officer's close ties to young leader of Black Muslim Bakery | |
| 2007-11-12 | |
| Yusuf Bey IV, the young leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery, boasted to his followers that he had avoided being implicated in the slaying of Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey because of his relationship with the officer assigned to investigate the case. Bey IV's two-year-long relationship with Oakland homicide investigator Sgt. Derwin Longmire had already paid off for police - the bakery leader had helped them get a confession in the Bailey case. Bey IV talked openly about the payoff from his relationship with Longmire, a 22-year veteran of the department, while being held with two bakery associates in an unrelated kidnapping and torture case. Police secretly recorded the discussion. "The reason they didn't pin the (Bailey) murder on me was because of Longmire," Bey IV, 21, told his two associates on the Aug. 6 video recording, which was reviewed by The Chronicle.

| #2 Longmire briefly left the homicide unit in 2003 to run the Oakland police intelligence squad. He was handpicked for the assignment by then-chief of police Richard Word. His job was to monitor protests and criminal organizations. "I trust the guy with my life," Word said of Longmire. "No questions, no doubt there. I have absolute trust in him." Bey, Longmire and Word. Heh. This is nothing but a good news story. Sounds like a three for one. The criminal, the corrupt cop and an a corrupt ex-police chief. No wonder Oakland is such a mess. |

| #1 Good for the police. Their abuse of the trust of that poor, naive terrorist will no doubt be protested by those who notice the adjectives, but not the noun. |
