Last week, the city council in Oakland, California decided to formally defund its police department of more than $18 million, a journey that started with a pledge last July during all those fun BLM riots.
Since the woke council announced that it would strip its public officers of resources, crime has predictably spiked in the city, just like it has around the nation.
Oakland has had nearly twice the number of murders as it did at this time last year and all violent crimes – including homicide, rapes, robberies, and assaults – are up 13%.
When you play stupid games, however, you win even stupider prizes – a fact that became all too apparent when two armed robbers held up the city’s chief of violence prevention while he was doing a TV interview AT CITY HALL!
