Oakland NAACP blasts progressive city leaders demands more action on rising crime

They demand more rising crime? That’s what they probably meant.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The NAACP said what??

"Failed leadership, including the movement to defund the police, our District Attorney’s unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes, and the proliferation of anti-police rhetoric have created a heyday for Oakland criminals."

Anybody with two functioning brain cells KNEW that the progressive policies implemented after St. George died would hit the inner city poor the hardest.

I'm surprised they (see to have) learned their lesson in only three years.

[MileHi]

Yeah, well they’d have to lock up a whole lot of black and brown dudes and then you’ll bitch about that.

[matt04]

They voted for it. Embrace the suck.

I’m willing to bet the same Rev. and NAALCP was out supporting BLM “protests” demanding police/criminal justice reform, defend the police, etc. in 2020.

Oakland residents are sick and tired of our intolerable public safety crisis that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities .. regardless that it's members of that same minority community causing the 'intolerable public safety crisis'.

[dsrtsage]

Gentrify Oakland!

[frank ballenger]

Hypocrites who don’t shed a tear when members of their “community” are not arrested and incarcerated and black people themselves suffer, as children shot in drive bys and old black ladies killed in turf wars of young drug gangs.

Equal law enforcement and punishment for all people, rich and poor, all races equally. Otherwise, no more phony concern.

Great sign (I’m in Michigan, home of Hell, MI).

The pigs flying in the skies over the sign got a laugh, too.

[aquila48]

What do you know, pigs do fly!

They will demand that arresting officers will abide by Diversity Equity and Inclusion and we all know the problem will remain the same

[kearnyirish2]

That is the silver lining/consolation as we’ve watched our urban areas bow to mob rule; the unassimilated permanent underclass eats its own rather than raiding outside the frontiers of the poverty ranches.

When Rome understood it could never conquer Germany (in fact, it struggled to contain the Germanic tribes at its borders), they resorted to interfering in German affairs by supporting the weaker side in internal conflicts to ensure the maximum number of Germanic casualties. If this is how we deal with our “unassimilateds”, so be it. The permanently-aggrieved “takers” will continue to live in horrible conditions burying their young, while refusing to work to remove themselves from those conditions.

[hardspunned]

Someone should explain to them about elections having consequences. I’m sure a law and order candidate in the next election for mayor would still get laughed out of town.

[tomkat]

Excellent post, thank you.

[momincombatboots]

Looks like trumps call for prison reform is working as well as his lockdowns, daca amnesty and bumpstock bans.

[workerbee]

Oakland is a far left city full of far left elected officials.

Then the citizens ought to be celebrating. This is what far left looks like. I don't see a single quote that says "I've learned my lesson and will vote for more right-leaning candidates from now on.". So eff 'em.

[newzjunkey]

They will keep voting in the same types hoping for change

[Graybeard58]

If there are no consequences for committing crime in Oakland, crime will continue to soar.

Profound conclusion right there bishop! What was your first clue?

[Graybeard58]

They will demand that arresting officers will abide by Diversity Equity and Inclusion and we all know the problem will remain the same

What’s needed is droves of White liberals confessing to crimes they didn’t commit. Just to make things more..... equitable.

[kearnyirish2]

Thank you; its rather depressing.
