    In other words, CHP is now Oakland PD because there is none.

    Pamela Price needs to resign in disgrace. The mayor should resign also. Incompetent.
  • All those cops won’t matter if these judges keep giving light sentences.

    This generation of politicians all graduated from the University of Gaslighting...

    Pamela Price is up for recall this fall. Step up and vote for your family and community.
  • what Oakland needs is a prosecutor who is against violent crime and a daily bus to San Quentin
  • @pigboykool
    Pamela Price needs to resign NOW!!! Or put herself in jail for all the crime she committed to the people of Oakland!
  • @celebrityrog
    Remove Criminal Cartel Leader Pamela Price from office. Problem solved.
  • @untouchable8709
    Newsom allowed this shit in our state. It’s time to get him out of here asap.
  • @robertAWA
    Mayor Thao forgot to tell the 76 gas station owner that had his store ransacked 3 days ago that crime is decreasing.
  • Notice how Gavin was careful not to call out black crime which is the most contributing factor, but three Latinos and Asians under the bus
  • @katana1960
    So let me get this straight, defunding the police and not prosecuting criminals leads to more crime? Who would have thought of that?
  • @deneng0259
    This is all Newsomes fault. He is in charge. They are working together. The citizens are always the last to get any help here in California. When will California wake up and vote them out?
  • @RamZar50
    Lawlessness because criminals are not given proportionate time in prison. Juveniles almost no time in jail.
  • @tazmod7272
    If you don’t put them in jail and keep them in jail doing all that crap won’t make a difference.

    Both the Governor Gruesome, DA priceless and Oakland Police Department should be fired for letting Oakland and other cities to hell. This behavior spread as a result of them doing nothing.
