Crime is a problem for all people in the Blue Cities, including blacks. Oakland NAACP blasts local leaders, calls for state of emergency due to crime.
Bishop Bob Jackson of the Acts Full Gospel Church and the Oakland chapter of the NAACP - definitely not a subset of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy - issued a statement about crime as a crisis in Oakland, CA.
"Failed leadership, including the movement to defund the police, our District Attorney’s unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life-threatening serious crimes, and the proliferation of anti-police rhetoric have created a heyday for Oakland criminals," the letter states.
Here is the problem with the whole Defund the Police insanity. Again from the statement:
"African Americans are disproportionately hit the hardest by crime in East Oakland and other parts of the city," the letter states. "But residents from all parts of the city report that they do not feel safe."
And this isn't just a small group in Oakland trying to get some headlines.
Hat tip to Clayton Cramer: When Did NAACP Turn Right-Wing?
Defunding police has always injured blacks most because they are primary victims of crime
Remember that much of "systemic racism" screeching is people gaming the system as paid experts appealing to guilt-ridden whites.
Looks like the chickens are coming home to roost. Trump offered federal assistance but they cut off their own noses to spite their face.
