    In other words, CHP is now Oakland PD because there is none.

    Pamela Price needs to resign in disgrace. The mayor should resign also. Incompetent.
  • @pigboykool
    Pamela Price needs to resign NOW!!! Or put herself in jail for all the crime she committed to the people of Oakland!
  • Notice how Gavin was careful not to call out black crime which is the most contributing factor, but three Latinos and Asians under the bus
  • All those cops won’t matter if these judges keep giving light sentences.
  • @w6341
    This generation of politicians all graduated from the University of Gaslighting...

    This is all Newsomes fault. He is in charge. They are working together. The citizens are always the last to get any help here in California. When will California wake up and vote them out?
  • @JamesBond-jc8wf
    Both the Governor Gruesome, DA priceless and Oakland Police Department should be fired for letting Oakland and other cities to hell. This behavior spread as a result of them doing nothing.
  • @malin7919
    Pamela Price is up for recall this fall. Step up and vote for your family and community.
  • She’s disappointed that some of her criminals might actually go to jail and she can’t help them.
  • @dswynne
    And this because the city and county prefer "restorative justice" over "public safety".
  • @untouchable8709
    Newsom allowed this shit in our state. It’s time to get him out of here asap.
  • @celebrityrog
    Remove Criminal Cartel Leader Pamela Price from office. Problem solved.
  • @toddnewkirk2782
    Another smoke and mirrors move by an ineffective political leader.
  • @jeffereylew581
    You need to get rid of Prop 47 and prosecute for shoplifting and stealing. Shoplifting and stealing a crime and if caught you need to go to jail !
  • what Oakland needs is a prosecutor who is against violent crime and a daily bus to San Quentin
  • @johnnywang206
    Imagine passing laws that cause all this crime and then stepping up to be the hero to address the crime
  • @bg710
