CHP?
What is wrong with the local police dept?
Do I need to ask?
The local PD is undermanned and it doesn't matter how many people arrest, if the Alameda County DA won't prosecute then the local PD can't keep thugs off the street. Plus, remember Oakland has its own defund the police agitators, and they are not backing down even with crime out of control.
One thing the CHP has in its favor is that with the State involved, when they make an arrest, the suspect will be held in jail and the State AG will prosecute.
What Newsom is signaling to the Oakland and Alameda prosecutors is that this is an ELECTION year and you better start throwing some thugs under the bus. After the elections are over, you can go back to being lazy incompetent slugs.
