“#Oakland launches hate crime investigation into nooses found hanging from trees<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Authorities in Oakland, Calif., have launched a hate crime investigation into several app<\/a>arent nooses found hanging from trees in the city this week, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Five ropes were found on various trees around the area of Lake Merritt on Tuesday, and have since been removed, the Oakland Police Department said, according to CNN.<\/p>\n

Extra patrols have also been assigned to the area, police said.<\/p>\n

Porchia Freeman, who lives in the area, first spotted one swinging from a tree near the lake earlier that day. She stepped in closer to get a better look, and then recorded a video, posted to Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI posted it because it was very disturbing to me and I thought I\u2019d bring awareness to the situation,\u201d she said during a Wednesday Facebook livestream.<\/p>\n

Freeman said a man reached out to her, claiming the rope was left over from a swing he had hung on the tree.<\/p>\n

A local resident also claimed during an initial investigation that he \u201cintentionally placed\u201d the ropes there \u201cfor exercise and game<\/a>s several months ago,\u201d the police department told CNN.<\/p>\n

But the city\u2019s mayor, Libby Schaaf, said in a Twitter message Wednesday that \u201cthe intentions do not matter, because the harm is real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will matter with regard to whether this is in fact charged as a hate crime, but they do not matter about whether or not we should tolerate symbols of hate and violence and torture in our public spaces,\u201d Schaaf said. \u201cThey do not have a place here in Oakland.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to start with the assumption that these are hate crimes,\u201d she said. \u201cWe cannot take these actions lightly. These symbols are symbols of racial violence, and it\u2019s incumbent on all of us to have that sensitivity, to have that knowledge. And that\u2019s why I have directed our staff to remove any such symbol of hatred, regardless of the intention of what put it there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incidents follow two hanging deaths of two black men in Southern California that both local and federal agencies are investigating.<\/p>\n

Robert Fuller, 24, was found hanging in a park near Palmdale City Hall early on June 10, and his death was originally declared an apparent suicide.<\/p>\n

But on Monday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said the death will be probed as a homicide and will be monitored by the California Attorney General<\/a>\u2019s Office and the FBI\u2019s Civil Rights Division.<\/p>\n

A week earlier, about 50 miles away in San Bernardino County, Malcolm Harsch, 38, was found hanging near the Victorville City Library.<\/p>\n

Police originally said foul play was not suspected, but the man\u2019s family questioned that narrative. They said people at the scene saw blood on Harsch\u2019s shirt, he hadn\u2019t seemed depressed and he had recent talks with his kids about seeing them soon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in New York, Dominique Alexander, 27, who was also black, was found hanging from a tree with a rope around his neck in Upper Manhattan\u2019s Fort Tryon Park around 6 a.m. June 9, police said.<\/p>\n

A week later, the city Office of the Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide by hanging.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
