A California district attorney has claimed that allegations that she has soft-on-crime policies are actually racist attacks against her.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price and some of her supporters slammed Oakland residents who have been complaining that crime is too high in the major California city and that the DA is not doing enough.
In addition to dismissing these locals’ concerns as "racism," Price and her allies claimed the elected official is being unfairly treated by a disenfranchised community.
[The DA] ran for office on a progressive platform of what some call "restorative justice." ***

"We're very worried about where Oakland is and we're scared. Some of us are scared to go to the lake or just go shopping. You have to think twice about it when you go to the grocery store," Gina Rivera admitted.
Another Oakland citizen at the rally, Lynne Cooper, accused the city of not enforcing the law.
However, Price slammed these concerns against city officials and herself as politically and racially motivated. CBS News quoted her as saying, "That's racism. I'm calling it for what it is."
She added, "If you believe the media hype, I went from a well-respected lawyer and businesswoman with 40 years of experience in this community to a bumbling, incompetent idiot who knew nothing about the law or the criminal justice system."
Price supporter Erin Coffey defended the DA, telling the outlet, "There is a lot of upset in the community and there's -- among the youth -- a lot of disenfranchisement. That's not Pamela Price. We live in a world right now when things are very difficult for many people, partly because the criminal justice system has been so unfair, so far."
