Oakland has been a crime riddled city long before I lived near the Bay area. Weren't these guys wanting the police defended after George Floyd's demise? I guess getting slapped in the face by reality squashes the utopian dream at times.

LTC Trent Klug - Agreed, Colonel. I'm a retired SFPD cop and back when I was on the job in the 80's and 90's, even us off-duty cops wouldn't go anywhere near Oakland unless we absolutely had to. I can't remember a time when Oakland was ever a "safe" place to live or visit.

I always loved to walk around Lake Merritt. It was beautiful, peaceful, and safe. (I lived in Alameda 2006-2012).

Excellent post. Thank You for sharing this Colonel. This is saddening. Many parts of Oakland are infested with gangs and crime.
