Oakland NAACP Blasts City Leadership, Calls for a State of Emergency and Action on Rampant Violent Crime

Even the stupidest can be mugged, beaten, and left for dead by reality.

The Oakland NAACP urged city officials to declare a state of emergency over what the organization called an "intolerable public safety crisis."

In a letter released Thursday, Oakland Branch President Cynthia Adams and Bishop Bob Jackson of Acts Full Gospel Church in East Oakland called on public officials to marshal resources to confront the barrage of public safety issues -- including highway shootings, home invasions and killings -- that have become a "pervasive fixture of life in Oakland."

"There is nothing compassionate or progressive about allowing criminal behavior to fester and rob Oakland residents of their basic rights to public safety," they wrote. "It is not racist or unkind to want to be safe from crime. No one should live in fear in our city."

Adams told the Chronicle Friday that NAACP leaders in Oakland were troubled that "everyone was being quiet" about issues that were escalating in Oakland. NAACP members, she said, were frustrated by city officials' repeated assurances that crime would "get better."

"Everything broke the camel's back," said Adams. "Lifetime members -- seniors -- were saying, 'Why is no one saying anything?' They are afraid."

With all respect, NAACP, why do you think people are "being quiet" about crime? Do you think maybe that has something to do with a long campaign by black grifter leaders to scream that anyone who doesn't want to get mugged, raped, carjacked or murdered while walking on the street is a "racist"?

The letter arrived at a time where the city is struggling to catch up with crime sprees that have intensified in recent months. North Oakland has seen a 22% increase in robberies over last year and an 18% increase in violent crime.

Law enforcement officials say they're overwhelmed and strapped for resources, noting that officers witnessed 100 robberies in a single week by alleged perpetrators who are sometimes as young as 12 years old.

Gee I wonder why law enforcement doesn't have enough manpower or money to do their jobs.

How's that "Decarceral State" workin' out for you, stupid?
