“People who’ve e-mailed Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan over the past year about Occupy Oakland probably didn’t get much of a response. That’s because he used a spam filter to dismiss messages sent to him with ‘Occupy Oakland’ in the subject line, according to a federal court filing Monday. Same goes for the phrases ‘stop the excessive police force,’ ‘respect the press pass’ or ‘police brutality.’ Because of those filters, Jordan missed e-mails from other city officials and a federal court monitor, who oversees the department’s compliance with court-ordered reforms stemming from a police abuse scandal.”
