In his State of the City address last night, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums seemed to want to start addressing the crime problem in Oakland. He said he would increase cops from 730 to 803. Yey... right? But reading more, it looks like Oakland voters approved a measure FOUR years ago to increase the police force to 803. It's only happening now? Why the wait? Is Dellums against more police for some reason? Seriously, I'm asking. The article implies that he thinks it's too hard to hire police in this city. Well, maybe increasing their work hours to 12 doesn't help.
And at 803, we're only 2/3 of the national standard. Great. And it's not at all like we're in a city with a high crime rate... oh, wait, yes we are. Hmmm.
I'm really not liking this guy.
