I live near Oakland....yes, this makes sense. I think a decade or so from now it won’t be that way.

> Homicide is up 1 percent, and aggravated assault is up 10 percent, the data show. Rape is down 9 percent, and burglary is down 6 percent.

..and that’s during the Raiders game alone.

Clue, and a hint to police Chief Wayne Tucker , allow folk to have a firearm to defend thier home, Not rocket science.
No need for polls either, one contradicts the other. Every single time. Wayne, don’t be a dolt, sure firearms are, in the hands of illirsponsible folk a bad bad thing, but if you want to go from 7th to 70th in one year, Allow folk to leagally own a firearm.
I challange this guy “Wayne” to do the right thing.

The survey must not have included Richmond, CA. If my car broke down I’d rather it be in Oakland than Richmond.

Oakland PD used to keep a lid on crime through sheer brutality. One night in the late ‘70s I worked graveyard shift at a car wash in West Oakland (Jimmy Carter was President and ANY job was hard to come by). I only lasted one night. At about 5:30 AM about half a dozen Oakland PD cars pulled up to be washed before the end of shift handover. The hoods and fenders of all of them were covered in blood from pimps and drug dealers “resisting arrest”. Apparently it is possible to communicate with pimps and drug dealers but you have to be very assertive. I was told this was an every night occurrence. A few years later, because of the liberal takeover of city government and fear of AIDS this practice was “reformed”. It’s been all down hill for Oakland from there.

Survey: Oakland has fifth-highest crime rate in country

The fruits of Jerry Brown's labors as mayor of Oakland, no doubt. Now that he's California's Attorney General, we can expect even bigger things.

New Orleans ranked as the highest crime city in 2007. Following New Orleans were Camden, N.J.; Detroit, last year’s No. 1; and St. Louis.

Even a casual glance at the list allows one thing to stand out.
The majority of cities that make the highest crime listing are run by Democrats. Heck Dellums in Oalland is a declared socialist.
So what does America do? It turns the whole frikkin Country over to a Socialist President.....
We have truly met the enemy and the enemy truly is us...

837 officers is not a very large Department, and how many of those officers are patroling, and how many are desk occupiers?

Looks like after Katrina New Orleans cleaned up the wrong kind of trash. Number 1 by a country mile.

Let’s see...Oakland, Detroit, Camden NJ, New Orleans,ST. Louis all have a few things in common; controlled by RATS, high minority populations etc. Maybe the Messiah Obama should focus on cleaning up these cities.
