The retired officers agreed to dissolve their private retirement fund and distribute the monies to the surviving retirees.

But WAIT!!!!! Although the City of Oakland had no legal claim to the officers private retirement fund, they declared Eminent Domain or some such nonsense. They seized the private retirement fund and enrolled the private fund retirees into the public retirement program.

***** happens.
