Citizens of Oakland

Get your guns

Now

[trucking]

Oakland will need more than that. They will need the military to clean house

[alexblazquez]

Defund the City Council. They should all lose their pensions and make hourly minimum wage.

[skylangford]

Unfortunately for the voters in Oakland, there doesn't seem to be any police officers

[scionchamp]

Celebrating on defunding the police one day and wanting more police the next...make up your minds.

The last thing Oakland city council wants is anything that will cut into to their salaries. The country roads are better that the city streets here. People are getting sick from the filth in our streets, yet the homes where our mayor lives is beautiful and clean. Why should things change, our city government employees are living well off our stupidly.

You get what you want Oakland. Now it’s too late.

[elicooper]

Yeah, who wants to come to Oakland to be a police officer?

[ohroonoko]

LOL! Defund the Police is officially over in Oakland. Nice job, liberals.

[bmurray]

The Oakland City Council treats their police like a Whack-a-Mole game. Let’s fire. Let’s hire. Let’s fire. Let’s hire.

You mean defunding and vilifying the police didnt work? Wheres the social workers.

[Brokenpieces]

Nothing will help this city, they are just too lenient on criminals and cops know that and prefer to leave

[soulquesthealingmusic]

Easy solution - Just hire teams of gender studies graduates and social workers.
The criminals will tremble in fear of misgendering someone.

[bitinback]

Why do they need police if they don't arrest and prosecute criminals

[garybettman]

Oh wow only took Oakland a decade for more cops - Gary

[lihihongan]

LOL…no, no, no…they need more social workers

[johnnybbgunner]

Just defend yourselves and move on if attacked!

[moneymakerbanditsports]

What Happened? Defund the Police idea?

[jasonredpill]

Not gonna LIE I wish they voted NO. Just for the lulz of it.

[ethanol]

OOHH what a surprise, I thought defunding the police would help lower crime. What happened to that?
