Ive been aressted my whole life since 14 for agg ass if ypu read my police report every one has like 5 witnesses saying they were all scared of one dude police are commiting treason
What's the point? The cops can't really do anything. If they arrest people, then get labeled for police brutality or worse. If they arrest someone, then the DA will release them. Instead of targeting criminals, those politicians would target cops to advance their political career.
"since we aren't protecting local businesses, we are announcing a tax holiday for them. LOL!!!!! JUST KIDDING, WE WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE TAXES, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO."
They are collecting taxes because the tax payers overwhelmingly voted for the politicians and their high crime policies and reduced police interaction.
A homeowner here in Ontario Canada, shot and killed an intruder with a registered handgun. The homeowner was arrested and charged with murder. That’s all I’ve heard so far.
That business owner is learning the hard way. Same way I learned. I got out when I could and never doing business again in the ghetto. It’s hell on earth. You can’t sleep at night worrying about your business and break ins all the time.
I am sorry you had to deal with, uhhh, a certain type of people who often live in impoverished parts of a city and do not work and live off of government assistance........You know the type I'm talking about.

@@obijuankenobi420 That's the madness of it all. They are just starting to show the roots of Antifa. I started seeing things back from my time early on, high school and even before (1960's). That early group, they called themselves "The Anarchists", what they preached was no government, no form of authority and what would amount to as tribal living, with no money, we'd barter for goods and food. It died, or went underground when no one would listen, not they are back, this time the Anti Fascists. Only they're not Anti they're Pro Fascists. but they want the same thing, anarchy. They're boss, George Soros, he pays people like Nancy P, to promote and guide them, and they'll stir up trouble, mainly if the police are gone, they reign supreme. We see the results with their war on police, riots, buildings burned, and gangs looting, and robbing with impunity, then George buys the District Attorneys in cities targeted, and lets anyone caught go free. It's a war with civilization, sounds more like anarchists than anti fascists to me. and yes ... I'd be angry if people I pay do nothing and they are allowed to by those above me. I've watched all the videos, all the phone camera stuff from all of those police killings that started this. I'm beginning to wonder if all of this wasn't staged. Think about it, why so many people at that exact spot, with phone cameras on, recording all of this, it started before the police even got there, or started what we now know happened. What if George Soros, Nancy P. were the initiators, needing something to ignite the fires? They find some drug addict, one that has been told he has weeks, months to live, offer him millions to his family and he commits suicide by police officer. Find a burned-out officer, offer him millions to go to jail for the crime, and when they take over, he's quietly released? Makes more sense than what we've been told.
I don't blame the cops, they see the revolving door, they know it's a waste of their time to collect evidence when the DA doesn't prosecute, and IF they do, the judge just gives them a slap on the wrist. Maybe Oakland should try changing it's culture...

I used to work for a company that was located in a busy near-downtown area, but a few blocks from public housing (the projects). We had a small parking area out of view, enclosed by the surrounding buildings, but entered and exited through one, single lane alley. The lot was so small that about 20 of us had to double and triple park against a wall. We kept nothing in the cars and kept our ashtrays and glove compartments open so no one would break the windows for a quick smash ‘n grab. If the homies decided they wanted to steal a car parked against the wall, they would break into and move the cars parked behind it - just to drive off with their desired prey. The owner of the business finally had enough and installed a security camera two stories up on the wall. A month or two later, we came into work on a Monday to find the camera was stolen. There were just two or three wires hanging out from where the camera was located. We had no idea how the homies got up there unless they brought a giant ladder. The owner eventually installed a massive gate in the alley to try to keep the homies out. I left there in the late 90s, but I heard it became really dangerous to work there. Homies started to come into the business through the front door to try to steal items in broad daylight while the workers milled about. Eventually, they installed a security door where customers had to be buzzed in. If a homie wasn’t buzzed in, he’d bang on the glass like an animal. Front desk workers would call the cops and pray that they would show up to shoo the homie away. When the owner decided to retire, he couldn’t find a buyer because no one wanted to deal with the local bs. Ten years later and the building still stands vacant. Mansions from the great industrialists of the early 1900s used to line this street. Now, it’s a war zone.
Makes you wonder how that decline came about. Same in South Central LA. Shriner's Auditorium was in a nice, middle class or upper middle class neighborhood. Now it looks like hell. No one takes care of their yards, or their homes... or picks up trash, or the dog shit. Each family has to give a crap, and they don't.
The neverending fruits of diversity: I live in St.Louis and violent brothas do the great majority of murdas while making up a small fraction of the pop. I'm tired of seeing the usual suspects destroying a once beautiful neighborhood and city...These people are cruel and uncaring...and the crimes they commit are vile. They are just different and the only solution is complete SEPARATION. Some people are builders and contribute to society while others are destroyers and take , take, take.

A report if your lucky. We have called so many times and the fact that they said it was lack of communication that we did not specify we wanted to make a report is bS. That was the point of calling . Just a cop out!
California laws, like Prop 47 and 57, AB109 and No Bail, along with DA's that refuse to prosecute and judges who give light or no sentences. Couple that with most Law Enforcement Officers fear being prosecuted for or sued for any use of force that may occur, they feel defeated and demoralized. Most Officers feel the public and their Command Staff don't support them and A lot of officers are just trying to keep their heads down and not get into anything. Unless it's "Over the hood or over the radio" they will only do the bare minimum to get to a retirement and get out. the rest are quitting or going somewhere else.
It's these certain type of people that have this criminal nature and can't be tamed or civilized.

Give me a thumbs up if you know what I am talking about.
That's part of the problem. Cops are the other part. This looks like police are either doing these burglaries or setting them up. The absence of investigations is a hint. Stop with the cops are scared of being wrongly accused of wrong doings. If they keep their body cams on and up hold the oath they don't have to worry about that. Crime in police departments and on the streets will only be stopped by GOOD police work and honest citizens.
@@kingphilwill are you one of those dmbass liberals that have little schooling and think he knows how the world works? People invest their savings and take loans to start businesses smart ass. They aren't just rich and move where they want. Some business owners live on the business premises bc it's cheaper.
I think you should move out then. How about Texas? Or Oklahoma? Or any Red state? I hear you can shoot whomever you want if they make you "afraid" for your life. We could use fewer people in this state anyway.
That is called the Castle Doctrine, and it has no effect in the moment. Laws can only be deterrents or punishments. They have their only effectiveness before the event and after the event. They are useless DURING the event.
We live like this in Texas for years. If you call police that a burglar is in your garage, they just tell you to "avoid confrontation" and hang up. Last year a business owner shot a burglar, when they heard in the phone that its over police didn't even come out. Ambulance picked up the body later.
I worked for a parking company a few years ago as an auditor in both San Francisco and Oakland. We had three paystations that were broken into in the City Center garage on 14th and Clay Streets. The crook was on camera and knew where to go in the paystations to access the cash box. Close to $2,000 in cash was stolen. Since then, the garage and many other garages decided to go cashless which has been a good thing. However, we called OPD and they told us the same thing. Basically, go online to file a police report. It is ridiculous how OPD operates.
Why do you expect the police to do anything ? They would be fools to try and apprehend any criminals since everyone wanted to protest the police and demand they be defunded, these liberal cesspools are getting exactly what they deserve. No police officer should risk life in prison for people who don’t even appreciate them, look at derick chauvin, they burned him at the stake as a sacrificial lamb for doing police work, instead of telling people “ don’t resist arrest, and do what your told “
We are all on our own, truly. If I were a business owner in Oakland, I would form a militia with my fellow law-abiding citizens. You no longer have police support, if you haven't figured that out yet.
Well, what do you expect when you have a district attorney that won't prosecute crime and a "defund the police attitude?" You really should blame those who put these people in office.

I grew up just ten or so miles south of Oakland, San Leandro. It got so bad, even before this, back to 2010, it wasn't safe to go out at night, as the gangs now ran the cities. I left after caring for a family member, and on their passing, I left California for good. If things do not change in California, businesses will either move or shut down and there won't be any stores open, as the gangs will start on them. They took over Bayfair mall, unsafe to go there at night. I moved to Ohio, small town, no gangs here, no one will tolerate them. People here, farmers and Ranchers, they also carry a weapon, never know when out on their property a wild animal or when they go into town, they carry large sums of cash for supplies, to protect themselves. No criminal in their right mind will attack anyone, as one out of five people openly carry. Safer here than in a bank.
@@Ap_twsh When the rioting started in 2020, here in rural areas, farmers, ranchers and the people here were praying that BLM would show up, I think 9 out of 10 people are either hunters or carry for self-defense. They were not going to let BLM or Antifa riot here.

When my wife was in a serious bicycle accident, the Oakland police did not come to take a report. These reports can be critical if there are lawsuits related to injuries. I went to the accident site myself as she was being loaded into the ambulance and took my own photos to gather evidence. It is a sad state of affairs in Oakland.
Police reports do not mean anything for insurance purposes anymore. I have one from my last car accident, the insurance company for the woman who hit me doesn’t care. They believe her lies because it means they don’t have to pay me, regardless of what the report says, and my only recourse is to sue the driver in small claims court.
OPD is probably short staffed. A lot of cops have been retiring early or just quitting in droves after the George Floyd riots in 2020 and the department has been struggling to recruit. Now cops are putting their priorities to higher crime neighborhoods and violent crimes (shootings, homicides, hostages etc.) in general. If nobody is dying the cops won't show up. Don't be surprised if you are robbed, beaten, or your car windows got smashed and the cops never show up.
Businesses and families are suffering due to people voting to allow this type of criminal activity. Vote differently and empower L.E. *Edited L.E. means Law Enforcement

There was a homeless person on the VTA bus who refused to leave. Sheriff did not want to drag them out physically in case they get injured and sue. So the bus went out of service until the homeless left the bus on their own accord. All passengers had to wait for the next bus.
What's unbelievable is the fact that there a lot of people out here who haven't learned (or can't seem to learn) a thing from the nationwide occurrences over the past 10 years or so. Every year moving forward seems to be "here we go again."
My neighbor's store was broken into 7 times in the last year alone, so he decided he had enough and purchased a 2-inch thick steel reforced business garage style lowering door, that is impossible to breach. He should know, he has security videos he showed the police where 6 times burglars with chisels, crowbars and huge portable electric grinders were used on his new security door and all attempts failed... leaving him grinning from ear to ear.
Two things come to mind. The first is that he should be able to send the bill of this new door straight to the city for reimbursement. Second, with the tools you're describing, these don't sound like ordinary criminals. Has the Cartel taken over in the states??
That sounds so stupid... so the criminals never got dealt with and probably out there now terrorizing America? Wow but thank God he has a steel garage... pffft... tools of defense cost 1/100th of that AND the problem goes away forever... hmmm.. you must be a Californian
I called the police twice in Oakland 2 weeks ago to report a theft and they never showed up. They told me to file it online and I wasn’t able to do so.
Most police are effete, lay-abouts, semi-educated, and just occupying space and time. A citizen is more capable of rational thought and probably more capable of protecting their family.
I heard if kids graduating High School are looking for work in the criminal industry, Oakland is the place to go. Sure the work is hard, but most employers are paying an above average wage with stock options, 401 Ks, medical insurance, and paid vacation. Even maternity leave fo da baby mamas and shit.

There best bet is to just leave Oakland in the dust and set up shop in a whole other state, don’t wait for anything to change cuz it won’t, people comment “this is happening all over” well not where I am, sure there’s crime but nothing even remotely close to this and why? because our local city government don’t put up with BS like this I knew someone here who served 8+ years for robbing a fast food joint no slaps on the wrist as it should be he served his full term too and learned his lesson, said it was the stupidest thing he ever did, California doesn’t even try to punish these criminals and that’s the problem it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out
Unfortunately this is the truth. The citizens in Oakland can start a recall process for their elected officials like they did with Mayor Jean Quan in 2011 if they really wanted change.

Dude, I lived in Oakland for five years, literally within sight of the cop shop. There were some thugs shooting at each other outside the 12th Street BART station (that's the subway for you out-of-towners) during the afternoon commute. I actually got nicked in the face by shrapnel when a bullet ricocheted off a building. I got down on the ground, as did some other folks, but most did the dumb thing and ran around, exposing themselves to gunfire. Of course people were calling 911. Know how long it took the Oakland PD to respond, four blocks from their headquarters? I was on the ground 45 minutes before the firing stopped, then I got up and ran home. It was then and only then that I heard sirens. 45 minute response time and the cops didn't come to the 12th Street station until THE SHOOTING WAS OVER. Because cops don't like civilians with guns; that's dangerous and officer safety comes first. Officer safety, as we saw in Uvalde, is the ONLY thing that matters to a lot of cops, screw the civilians. That's why I have zero respect for the Oakland PD: corrupt, lazy, and cowardly. The department is beyond saving. Not even years of federal oversight have been able to turn it around. Dissolve the Oakland PD and put the Alameda County Sheriff's Department in charge of policing for the city. They're real cops, not these clowns.
If the cops come and shoot any blacks, no matter what the scenario is, those cops will be considered racist and their whole department will be considered racist. So they know better and don't come until they're done shooting.
The best part of this story is, if you defend yourself with the same deadly force those police will be right there quick to arrest you for "gun violence"
you are absolutely intellectually dishonest and wrong. You vote for these crappy, liberal policies and politicians and you blame the very same police you hate and back into a corner? You shout coward, or racist and still expect them to save you? LOL..... SMH.... Look in the mirror and ask yourself, if you make sense or not?
These days if a robber slipped and fell while robbing you he would sue the store owner for everything. It's time for a change. The idea behind the new way of thinking is insurance will reimburse the owner. Walmart is closing over 250 stores this year due to shoplifting. We must take rights from criminals.

Criminals will also set off your business alarm & sit hiding in a car waiting for you to show up to take you inside with guns to your head. First they'll set the alarm off a few times during a week and take notes. Prepare yourself my ppl. 2 weeks ago an elderly lady came home from the casino, thieves followed her home they robbed her inside her house, guess what town the thieves were from! A similar incident happened to me,a car i thought was following me from the casino. So i was cautious and drove past my house i turned around but they drove off but came right back when i went inside & broke my car window and searched my glove box..
They’ll be charged if they interfere and harm the criminals in any way- conversely, the criminals either get away with it and on the rare occasion they are apprehended they are released shortly after to continue their crime-spree.
It's time the local small business get together and form an association or if one is already formed, they should take matter into their own hands. They are left out to dry by law enforcement. They have no other choice.

Same old. In Texas in the late 80's they would take information over the phone and would mail you the report for insurance. But never any effort in solving it. It's time to make booby traps legal (and provide lawsuit protection for any injuries caused to those breaking in)
Well when every store closes down and nobody has a place to shop, maybe the citizens will demand something be done about letting criminals do their thing with no consequences. The stupidity of government is egregious.
The police are under staffed so don’t respond to calls where they know the prosecutors will refuse to prosecute. Blame the voters for their defund police nonsense and for voting in woke district attorneys and judges.
Yeah but the problem is and it's the same here in Minnesota is that all of the Republicans here are leaving to states like Florida, so we don't get any votes at all in the elections.
Maybe the business owners should start arming themselves and keep times like this in mind the next time there’s some protest for defunding/abolishing the police. That ideology has a significant impact for years that is hard to recover from.
These robberies were happening when the stores are closed. Wouldn't matter if the owners are armed if they aren't there to stop it. a good security firm would clean up in a place like this.
72 yo az man shot an illegal on his property and the old man is in jail. Why? cuz he's a law abiding citizen protecting himself, his elderly wife and his property. Ownership and private property are under seige.

@@obijuankenobi420 That's the madness of it all. They are just starting to show the roots of Antifa. I started seeing things back from my time early on, high school and even before (1960's). That early group, they called themselves "The Anarchists", what they preached was no government, no form of authority and what would amount to as tribal living, with no money, we'd barter for goods and food. It died, or went underground when no one would listen, not they are back, this time the Anti Fascists. Only they're not Anti they're Pro Fascists. but they want the same thing, anarchy. They're boss, George Soros, he pays people like Nancy P, to promote and guide them, and they'll stir up trouble, mainly if the police are gone, they reign supreme. We see the results with their war on police, riots, buildings burned, and gangs looting, and robbing with impunity, then George buys the District Attorneys in cities targeted, and lets anyone caught go free. It's a war with civilization, sounds more like anarchists than anti fascists to me. and yes ... I'd be angry if people I pay do nothing and they are allowed to by those above me.
I've watched all the videos, all the phone camera stuff from all of those police killings that started this. I'm beginning to wonder if all of this wasn't staged. Think about it, why so many people at that exact spot, with phone cameras on, recording all of this, it started before the police even got there, or started what we now know happened. What if George Soros, Nancy P. were the initiators, needing something to ignite the fires? They find some drug addict, one that has been told he has weeks, months to live, offer him millions to his family and he commits suicide by police officer. Find a burned-out officer, offer him millions to go to jail for the crime, and when they take over, he's quietly released? Makes more sense than what we've been told.
I don't blame the cops, they see the revolving door, they know it's a waste of their time to collect evidence when the DA doesn't prosecute, and IF they do, the judge just gives them a slap on the wrist.

I used to work for a company that was located in a busy near-downtown area, but a few blocks from public housing (the projects). We had a small parking area out of view, enclosed by the surrounding buildings, but entered and exited through one, single lane alley. The lot was so small that about 20 of us had to double and triple park against a wall. We kept nothing in the cars and kept our ashtrays and glove compartments open so no one would break the windows for a quick smash ‘n grab. If the homies decided they wanted to steal a car parked against the wall, they would break into and move the cars parked behind it - just to drive off with their desired prey. The owner of the business finally had enough and installed a security camera two stories up on the wall. A month or two later, we came into work on a Monday to find the camera was stolen. There were just two or three wires hanging out from where the camera was located. We had no idea how the homies got up there unless they brought a giant ladder. The owner eventually installed a massive gate in the alley to try to keep the homies out. I left there in the late 90s, but I heard it became really dangerous to work there. Homies started to come into the business through the front door to try to steal items in broad daylight while the workers milled about. Eventually, they installed a security door where customers had to be buzzed in. If a homie wasn’t buzzed in, he’d bang on the glass like an animal. Front desk workers would call the cops and pray that they would show up to shoo the homie away. When the owner decided to retire, he couldn’t find a buyer because no one wanted to deal with the local bs. Ten years later and the building still stands vacant. Mansions from the great industrialists of the early 1900s used to line this street. Now, it’s a war zone.
Makes you wonder how that decline came about. Same in South Central LA. Shriner's Auditorium was in a nice, middle class or upper middle class neighborhood. Now it looks like hell.

Couple that with most Law Enforcement Officers fear being prosecuted for or sued for any use of force that may occur, they feel defeated and demoralized. Most Officers feel the public and their Command Staff don't support them and A lot of officers are just trying to keep their heads down and not get into anything.

That's part of the problem. Cops are the other part. This looks like police are either doing these burglaries or setting them up. The absence of investigations is a hint. Stop with the cops are scared of being wrongly accused of wrong doings. If they keep their body cams on and up hold the oath they don't have to worry about that.

At least you are allowed to defend yourself. Here in CA, we would be the one locked up for defending ourselves.
I worked for a parking company a few years ago as an auditor in both San Francisco and Oakland. We had three paystations that were broken into in the City Center garage on 14th and Clay Streets. The crook was on camera and knew where to go in the paystations to access the cash box. Close to $2,000 in cash was stolen. Since then, the garage and many other garages decided to go cashless which has been a good thing. However, we called OPD and they told us the same thing. Basically, go online to file a police report. It is ridiculous how OPD operates.

Why do you expect the police to do anything ? They would be fools to try and apprehend any criminals since everyone wanted to protest the police and demand they be defunded, these liberal cesspools are getting exactly what they deserve.

I grew up just ten or so miles south of Oakland, San Leandro. It got so bad, even before this, back to 2010, it wasn't safe to go out at night, as the gangs now ran the cities. I left after caring for a family member, and on their passing, I left California for good.
If things do not change in California, businesses will either move or shut down and there won't be any stores open, as the gangs will start on them. They took over Bayfair mall, unsafe to go there at night. I moved to Ohio, small town, no gangs here, no one will tolerate them. People here, farmers and Ranchers, they also carry a weapon, never know when out on their property a wild animal or when they go into town, they carry large sums of cash for supplies, to protect themselves. No criminal in their right mind will attack anyone, as one out of five people openly carry. Safer here than in a bank.

When my wife was in a serious bicycle accident, the Oakland police did not come to take a report. These reports can be critical if there are lawsuits related to injuries.

Police reports do not mean anything for insurance purposes anymore. I have one from my last car accident, the insurance company for the woman who hit me doesn’t care. They believe her lies because it means they don’t have to pay me, regardless of what the report says, and my only recourse is to sue the driver in small claims court.
OPD is probably short staffed. A lot of cops have been retiring early or just quitting in droves after the George Floyd riots in 2020 and the department has been struggling to recruit. Now cops are putting their priorities to higher crime neighborhoods and violent crimes (shootings, homicides, hostages etc.) in general. If nobody is dying the cops won't show up. Don't be surprised if you are robbed, beaten, or your car windows got smashed and the cops never show up.

There best bet is to just leave Oakland in the dust and set up shop in a whole other state, don’t wait for anything to change cuz it won’t, people comment “this is happening all over” well not where I am, sure there’s crime but nothing even remotely close to this and why? because our local city government don’t put up with BS like this I knew someone here who served 8+ years for robbing a fast food joint no slaps on the wrist as it should be he served his full term too and learned his lesson, said it was the stupidest thing he ever did, California doesn’t even try to punish these criminals and that’s the problem it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out
The police won't arrest anyone because Gavin would throw a fit
The voters have spoken
Yes, they approve of these crimes.
Unfortunately this is the truth. The citizens in Oakland can start a recall process for their elected officials like they did with Mayor Jean Quan in 2011 if they really wanted change.
Yep. Now they get to enjoy the consequences of their moronic voting habits.
What do you expect from government? Privatize.
Something like this happened in England recently, where the shopkeeper caught a guy robbing his store. He was told to let the guy go. You know what's funny, the police have just put in for 17 per cent pay rise. I have a hard time figuring this one out.
Everybody gets a trophy. They became adults, now everybody gets a pay raise. Your actual job performance doesn't really matter.
It's a little different here. Oakland police are understaffed even as crime rates go thru the roof. Covid really messed up our police forces here.
@josephgaviota pay raise based on performance hasn't been a thing here in 20 years. These days, it's pay raised based on the increases minimum wage.
@@notchomomma239 _Covid really messed up our police forces here._
I don't know if Covid was the biggest problem; perhaps the l'ftist over-reaction to Covid. The root of the problem is the George $oros DAs who release criminals with little to no penalty, and the over arching "defund the police" attitude in the popular zeitgeist.
@@notchomomma239 covid is the smoke screen. Not the real reason why police Dept's are becoming incapable. Real reason is grind down America to facilitate the shift to socialism.
Heartbreaking God Bless the store owners 🙏🏼❤️
Screw them Muslims
You know, one day you might find what you are looking for in those little stores ... they light the street up when it is shemering.
Police is not there if I need help, the store on the other hand is. Police light up once and a while, but all I get is a headache from it ... and if lucky a broken nose ...
When neughbirhoods becime ground zero, it us time to pack your bags, thise who live there and stire owners ...
I wouldn't go out of my way in a state that is more likely to get you sued for doing the right thing and arresting criminals. This is what society has pushed for, they reap what they vote.
"They come, they get robbed, and they leave." ~ McConnell
No point of going after them if a judge is going to release them shortly after.
Dude, I lived in Oakland for five years, literally within sight of the cop shop.
There were some thugs shooting at each other outside the 12th Street BART station (that's the subway for you out-of-towners) during the afternoon commute. I actually got nicked in the face by shrapnel when a bullet ricocheted off a building. I got down on the ground, as did some other folks, but most did the dumb thing and ran around, exposing themselves to gunfire.
Of course people were calling 911. Know how long it took the Oakland PD to respond, four blocks from their headquarters?
I was on the ground 45 minutes before the firing stopped, then I got up and ran home. It was then and only then that I heard sirens.
45 minute response time and the cops didn't come to the 12th Street station until THE SHOOTING WAS OVER. Because cops don't like civilians with guns; that's dangerous and officer safety comes first. Officer safety, as we saw in Uvalde, is the ONLY thing that matters to a lot of cops, screw the civilians.
That's why I have zero respect for the Oakland PD: corrupt, lazy, and cowardly. The department is beyond saving. Not even years of federal oversight have been able to turn it around.
Dissolve the Oakland PD and put the Alameda County Sheriff's Department in charge of policing for the city. They're real cops, not these clowns.
Thats what you get for voting for the Democrats! What do you expect! You get what you ask for, now you want people to have sympathy for you?
Bussing
Africans
'Round
Town?
If the cops come and shoot any blacks, no matter what the scenario is, those cops will be considered racist and their whole department will be considered racist. So they know better and don't come until they're done shooting.
The best part of this story is, if you defend yourself with the same deadly force those police will be right there quick to arrest you for "gun violence"
you are absolutely intellectually dishonest and wrong. You vote for these crappy, liberal policies and politicians and you blame the very same police you hate and back into a corner? You shout coward, or racist and still expect them to save you? LOL..... SMH.... Look in the mirror and ask yourself, if you make sense or not?
Don't blame the police, blame the city leaders! It all starts from the top!
These days if a robber slipped and fell while robbing you he would sue the store owner for everything. It's time for a change. The idea behind the new way of thinking is insurance will reimburse the owner. Walmart is closing over 250 stores this year due to shoplifting. We must take rights from criminals.
Yall voted for this. It's not the cops.
It’s still NOT up to the Police, it’s up to the District Attorney.
They STILL have to ARREST the GARBAGE. WHICH THEY CANT BE BOTHERED TO DO!!
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 no point, they just get released same day
@@b.b.s7545 For a lot misdemeanor charges where I'm at, the criminal is out before the cop leaves
DA stands for dumb ask
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 A simple petty theft crime report takes even good cop hours to write, get approved, collect, and book evidence on top of taking other calls for service. Then the lame liberal DA does nothing at all, drops the charges, etc. A complete waste of taxpayer money and my time - Source me: I'm a cop that has to deal with this crap. We are typically dealing with more serious crimes, getting called racist, racial slurs, fighting, getting spit on or at, social workers, mental health specialists on so on...handle all of that and then some with the hopes of losing your job and pension because some clown says you arrested them because of the color of their skin. But hey that is what we signed up for right?
Why would the police do the work just to have democrat lawmakers release these usual suspects
And Newsome wants to drive Walgreens out of CA. You all elected the Governor you can all live with this.
It isn't the police. It is the DA and people that don't prosecute criminals that is the problem.
I live in the east bay, but planning on leaving soon, crime is out of control
And the nation's law schools are packed with woke fanatics who can't wait to become lawyers and DAs and create even more "social justice."
THE LAW SHOULD ADOPT THE SAUDI ARABIAN WAY OF CUTTING HANDS OFF OF CAREER THIEVES. I GUARANTEE THE CRIME RATE WOULD DRAMATICALLY DECLINE IN THE USA QUICK FAST.
Yes!
I’ve been saying that an eye for an eye
And make it public execution
Chopping right hand in public!
What if there black
You are right but it never happen in the U.S.A. look how long they take for people on death row.
@@mg123rules Who cares
@@mg123rulesgood they be allot of black hands only way they’ll learn
Criminals will also set off your business alarm & sit hiding in a car waiting for you to show up to take you inside with guns to your head. First they'll set the alarm off a few times during a week and take notes.
Prepare yourself my ppl.
2 weeks ago an elderly lady came home from the casino, thieves followed her home they robbed her inside her house, guess what town the thieves were from! A similar incident happened to me,a car i thought was following me from the casino. So i was cautious and drove past my house i turned around but they drove off but came right back when i went inside & broke my car window and searched my glove box..
No one is allowed to discuss the problem demographic responsible for this crime epidemic. So I only see it getting worse. Scary times.
@@LC.1990yeah fake woke white people and black criminals 🫱🏿🫲🏻
Get a ccw now and carry train aswell
@@LC.1990 stop saying ‘problem demographic’, start saying African Americans
or Black People
The governor should be so proud.
Because they know if they go after criminals it will only result in million dollar lawsuits against them
Yup
Complaining doesn't work.
Voting out politicians who won't fix the problem does work.
That won’t happen, only thing left is for people to take it into their own hands.
They’ll be charged if they interfere and harm the criminals in any way- conversely, the criminals either get away with it and on the rare occasion they are apprehended they are released shortly after to continue their crime-spree.
@@genielove9067 then defend yourself from them too.
Oakland once famous resident said it best - 'open your eyes, man.'
Keep VOTING DEMOCRAT Oakland
I was walking my dog & I saw a guy break a store window.When the cop arrived he climbed through the broken glass ,sat down and wrote a report.😡
I left the Bay Area 30 years ago. I was one of the best places on earth to live! Great job guys, girls and whatever else comes out at night.
Now it’s the complete opposite
Yeah, now it's a homeless and African shithole.
I left in 96. It was bad enough then, can't imagine being there now. On top of everything else, it's insanely unaffordable.
These criminals are the reason why small businesses are leaving Oakland.
Truly sad we are living in the last days lawlessness
It's time the local small business get together and form an association or if one is already formed, they should take matter into their own hands. They are left out to dry by law enforcement. They have no other choice.
Blah blah blah blah
yah blah blah blah... they voted for this. then cry when the feel good lib bs doesn't work.

And do what. the people you voted for make you a criminal if you protect yourself or your business. the dems love that you live in fear. so you will keep voting for them. yet yall keep voting for them, so you know the saying. you get what you vote for.
It needs to be taken into consideration that small businesses are usually red voters. So it is plausible that the responsible blue policy makers are punishing those businesses by allowing them to be terrorized by crime.
Law enforcement didn’t vote for the criminals to be released after being arrested. You voted for it now enjoy it
That's why I'm happy to not live near any large city. No big city problems or BS.
Same old. In Texas in the late 80's they would take information over the phone and would mail you the report for insurance. But never any effort in solving it. It's time to make booby traps legal (and provide lawsuit protection for any injuries caused to those breaking in)
The entire city of Oakland is backwards.
Fast Food Delivery gets to its desired location faster than the OPD.
"They give the same level of attention to online vs in-person complaints" - which is NONE! Our systems are broken.
Well when every store closes down and nobody has a place to shop, maybe the citizens will demand something be done about letting criminals do their thing with no consequences. The stupidity of government is egregious.
At least the robbers had the decency to wear covid masks. Such thoughtfulness and respect all these robbers have these days.
The cops will give u a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt, when your driving home after your shift at the store. So u have that going for u 😂
What? The police have a ransomware attack and can’t use their computers? Holy shit. That is a scary thing. 😮
@Benjamin Peabody nope
I don't believe it, not one bit.
Lmao I dont see how this isnt bigger news. A major US city can barely function due to a supposed hacker attack.
Nah
Don’t bother starting a small business.
The police are under staffed so don’t respond to calls where they know the prosecutors will refuse to prosecute. Blame the voters for their defund police nonsense and for voting in woke district attorneys and judges.
Yeah but the problem is and it's the same here in Minnesota is that all of the Republicans here are leaving to states like Florida, so we don't get any votes at all in the elections.
The only ones staying in San Fran are democrats because their situation is exactly what they wanted it to be like!
You voted for! What's the crying about??
Maybe the business owners should start arming themselves and keep times like this in mind the next time there’s some protest for defunding/abolishing the police. That ideology has a significant impact for years that is hard to recover from.
A bow and arrow mafia may be a big business soon.
@@mustangracer5124 probably already is. but you better be good
These robberies were happening when the stores are closed. Wouldn't matter if the owners are armed if they aren't there to stop it. a good security firm would clean up in a place like this.
@@janet5135that what crossbows are for.
All I'm saying is you gotta stand by your establishment and protect it yourself, equip yourself with skill and tools you see fit.
Not in Cali, lol You ain't defending sheeet.
And if owners fight back, they’re the bad guys and possibly face charges.
All of commyfornia is like that..
Don't worry it's Cali catch and release you'll be out in a few hours
72 yo az man shot an illegal on his property and the old man is in jail. Why? cuz he's a law abiding citizen protecting himself, his elderly wife and his property. Ownership and private property are under seige.
The best way to fight back and not get any repercussion is to not get the police involved afterwards. Gotta do things Mafia style.
Defend your property join a organization to defend your self and do it
They are expecting police officer who they defunded and defanged to respond :/ they were celebrating their deaths and being defunded but now they reaping the concequences and they still blame the police. They should have known this will be the next step.
We all know what kinda group of people do that most of the time.
@George Group that commits disproportional amount of crime is poor people.
police know they still get paid even if they dont do shit
and NO POLICE OFFICERS SHOULD STAND DOWN EVER NEVER STAND DOWN GOD'S ANGEL'S.
I wouldn't do shit either if I were a cop in Oakland turn a blind eye to thugs and collect my pension with a worthless D.A. in charge.
Everything needs an overhaul in CALIFORNIA
Not everything when I visited California there was some great things about it and many ways but I'm sure you go to any state any City you're going to have some issues there
