Cynthia Adams, president of the Oakland chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and Bishop Bob Jackson, Senior Pastor at Acts Full Gospel Church called for city leaders "to crack down on rising crime, stop defunding the police, and prosecute lawbreakers. Our District Attorney's unwillingness to prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes is hurting us."
A spokesperson for the District Attorney for Alameda County, where Oakland is located, chastised Adams and Jackson, saying, "we are disappointed that a great African-American pastor and a great African-American organization would take a false narrative on such an important matter. There are already too many Blacks behind bars. We can't achieve racial justice if we put even more of our race in jail. It's a shame that Bishop Bob Jackson and the Oakland Chapter of the NAACP don't support our crucial effort to balance the scales."
Adams called the District Attorney's response "a disservice to all the people in the city. The vast majority of Blacks are honest and decent people who need protection against the tiny minority of criminals who victimize all of us. We do not need the anti-police rhetoric that is premised on the mistaken belief that being hard on these predators would be racist. This mistaken belief has led to a tolerance of violent crime that has created a heyday for Oakland's criminals."
In related news, Chicago Mayor Brandon Jackson scolded a reporter for referring to a group of two dozen youths who looted and vandalized a convenience market a mob "because it's disrespectful. Why can't they be just be called a large gathering? I mean, doesn't labeling them a mob prejudge them as guilty?" The reporter replied that "mob is the more appropriate term for large group of persons engaged in a criminal activity. People who smash up a store and steal its merchandise deserve our disrespect." Jackson then reminded the reporter that "if a majority of voters agreed with you I wouldn't have been elected mayor."

If they want to put a stop to crime, then they should stop voting for the party that enables and coddles criminals, namely the kkkommiecrats!
Crime is the Top black employer

Hey now NAACP you better tone it down. These are Holder’s people and Obama’s sons you are worried about.
