    Thao needs to go for her defunding the police but isn't that what Oakland resident wanted as a result of the BLM movement? Buyers remorse or poor decision making skills? 😂 DA Price and Prop 47 is also part of the problem. Just taking down the Mayor won't solve the issues when criminals are not held accountable and the ones who do get caught by what little police is left out there get thrown back into society because DA Price promises not to use incarceration as a form of punishment during her term in office

    powwow randomly came up while typing. I doubt that all the time some of these communities are involved but things aren't what they seem when you cannot defend yourself and any help you can get cannot be complained about , so you might agree to screw someone else over and you don't want to
    but have no choice. Isn't it certain communities that say they do not get help not that's not true , many people from all walks of life cannot get help , and are in ransom situations from police and courts and regular people , also lied about being someone else to stop investigations from being handled how they are supposed to.
