Several Oakland police officers have been put on administrative leave and two of them have resigned in light of the sexual misconduct scandal. The whispers turned into accusations by Lopez's family that Oakland Officer O'Brien had killed his wife. Since 2003 a federal monitor has been in place to make sure the Oakland Police Department complied with a negotiated settlement agreement stemming from a police corruption scandal. This is the volatile mix that has led to a sexual misconduct scandal of epic proportions in and around Oakland, California. If that weren't enough, it all happened while the Oakland Police Department was already under the watch of a federal monitor and compliance director.
