Midway through NBC Bay Area's interview with Oakland's head of violence prevention, Guillermo Cespedes, two robbers interrupted, holding up the crew and Cespedes. A "scuffle" took place, an Oakland police spokesperson told SFGATE, before a security officer with the news crew pulled out his own firearm and commanded the robbers to leave.

So the nonviolent head of violence prevention has an armed guard.
NBC is Comcast. Comcast helped to make this possible.

its funny how liberals like armed security to be around them
but regular people who cant afford armed security, the libs don’t want them to be armed to protect themselves
wow we really can’t ask for a better example recorded on camera, no less
i wonder how much hypocrisy the news cameras can store before they break

"...before a security officer with the news crew pulled out his own firearm and commanded the robbers to leave." And all this time I though 'news' organizations hated guns.

Lol. This is rich. Stupidity will never hold up against the immutable laws of nature.

It’s almost like that Month Python skit where a pollster knocks on a door then asks the resident what they think of violence on TV. ,’ I don’t like it ‘ says the resident. Right after saying that an explosion then blows everything up.

Guess it is back to the drawing board for Cespedes--on second thought, just hold more press briefings....

Iknow the guy in the yellow ochre jacket and white pants.
He is a mild mannered conservative in real life.
The other three gents ‘look British’.
Yes, there is a certain look.

...before a security officer with the news crew pulled out his own firearm and commanded the robbers to leave... If the guard had punctuated his command with a shot through one of the robbers identification would have been easy.
To: lewislynn
This happens everyday, only gets reported by when liberal media elite’s get hurt.
Dem’s don’t give a damn about anyone else!
Until Kaepernick or Lebron gets whacked, media will not report on racist black criminals!!!
