A major portion of Oakland's troubled police radio system failed shortly after President Obama's visit on Monday, leaving many of the 100 officers assigned to handle presidential security unable to communicate as protesters roamed the streets, police said Wednesday.
"The guys downtown couldn't talk to one another," said Barry Donelan, head of the Oakland Police Officers Association.
