Oakland has moved radically to the left, along with neighboring cities and was most recently mayored by Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown, who is now the state Attorney General (snicker).
The entire government apparatus has degenerated toward third world anarchy, with both Oakland and BART police at the forefront of the charge to the feudal age.
I propose that extreme socialism is largely to blame.
All true...however I will note ‘Moonbeam Brown’ has been all over the leftwinuts on this, and the riots that resulted.
Surprised me to be honest, but its the truth.
There have been scores of young black men killed there. Most not by the police.
