SFGATE: Video: Oakland woman threatens Spanish speakers over parking

Video: Oakland woman threatens Spanish speakers over parking Published on August 10, 2018 at 07:02AM by By Jill Tucker An Oakland psychologist stepped down from her role as CEO of an East Bay mental health clinic after she was captured on video Saturday claiming to be an immigration attorney and demanding that a group of people speaking Spanish and English move their parked vehicle from the curb in front of her home. The taped encounter is the latest in a string of viral videos in which Bay Area residents have filmed and shared interactions they consider to be evidence of bigotry or racial profiling. In the video, posted to Facebook on Wednesday by one of the family members in the car, a white woman tells the group not to park in front of her house.
