Bring back Mayor Moonbeam ... he'll fix things!
Lemme guess. 0 cuts were made to social welfare services provided by the City of Oakland.
Oakland doesn’t like Cops, but I bet they miss them.
And I suppose it NEVER enteres anyone’s mind for a second that possibly Junior Assistant Vice Administrators, Ministers of Diversity, and the entire staff of the Bureau of Self-Esteem could be axed.

Even the tiny bit of the dark side I carry is getting a chuckle out of this, imagine what the gangs there are thinking and planning.
Of the $42,000,000 annual city payroll, over $10,000,000 is paid out in OT.
The city stinks from the top down.
Thank you, Dear Heavenly Father, for giving me enough wisdom in 1976 to escape the hellhole CA has become.
BTW...

Better yet, just let Oakland burn.
* grand theft:dog?
Doin' a heck of a job, Ronnie!!/SARCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!
Yep looks like blackmail amidst trying to get a contract with 3 year job security. I would like 3 year job security!
Ah, the old “there will be blood in the streets unless voters raise their own taxes” ploy. I wonder if the salaries of Oakland’s politicians and bureaucrats have been cut?? BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Lock and load. We are more on our own than ever in America.
He isn’t being original here. Fremont (Also in Alameda County) has been “not responding” to such situations for several years. Guess where he got the idea.
Our glorious Police chief started it by not responding to home burglar alarms. It has gotten worse - now if you file an accident report, it’s done later, then some days after the fact a couple of “community police,” i.e. volunteers show up to ask if there is any other things you didn’t report.
They hate cops in Oakland so this is a win-win.
“burglary”
so in oakland, thieves can steal anything you have without fear? schweet
of course, they’re laying off cops... but not reducing union pensions for retired govt employees... of course.
make it hurt so the people will be forced to comply. that’s sweet.
Call for the Amber Lamps instead.
