Oakland police Sgt.

Despite state investigators and other experts saying that a detective’s ties to Your Black Muslim Bakery’s young leader compromised his investigation of a journalist’s slaying, the Oakland Police Department will decline to discipline him, police sources say. Sgt. Derwin Longmire will return to work within days, according to three department sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
