Oakland has become a haven for criminals and it’s become so dangerous that even city construction crews won’t fix potholes in streets on the east side of Oakland because they don’t feel safe.
Watch below:
In 2021 the city of Oakland voted to defund their police force to the tune of 18 million. It’s gotten so bad in the city since then that even the NAACP called on the city last year to abandon the defund police movement:
Penning a letter to city leaders last week, the Oakland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) said the movement to defund police has led to a “heyday” for criminals.
“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. If there are no consequences for committing crime in Oakland, crime will continue to soar,” the NAACP wrote.
Wow. In that statement the NAACP sounded like a Republican group because that is exactly right.
This is what the defund movement has done to the city of Oakland. Democrat policies make people less safe and there’s simply no denying it.
