OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) — The Oakland police officers union said a toddler’s violent death and a mass shooting over the weekend were tragic consequences of defunding the police department.
“Oakland’s sad reality has become back-to-back violent tragedies. A mass shooting and murder Friday. An innocent toddler murdered on Saturday. Followed by another murder that evening,” the Oakland Police Officers’ Association wrote.
The toddler, who was just shy of his 2nd birthday, was identified by family members as Jasper Wu.

Flood the area with social workers.
Fixing the anus of the Bay Area by defunding the police.
Film at eleven.
Oakland is/was a beautiful city that today lacks property taxes. Empty lots around the city signal that the city is poor. Jerry Brown, the mayor, and the local blacks did helpful. Every small improvement is brought to Oakland by people from San Francisco. The new Moxy Hotel in downtown Oakland is really sweet.
I know a lot of cops in the Bay Area. They tell me in private that the defunding issue is what they can safely talk about in public, but what is really going on is that in the post-George Floyd/BLM world they and their colleagues are collectively “standing down” with respect to black criminality. The mentality, which is not unreasonable, is that if they engage with a suspicious black male and things go south, that they will be called racist cops and thrown under the bus. Saving black people from each other is a thankless job, so why bother?
Why is Oakland called Oakland? Because Zimbabwe was already taken.
Management can only beat LEO’s over the head so much before they just do nothing.
Lol

No respect, but rather ungrateful- plus demonization.
If the GOP wins next round. This is a top issue. Protecting and honoring the blue line.
