    That's everything they do. They're a for-profit business. It's why the "news" channels are mostly pundits offering obnoxious opinions and preaching to their choirs.

    I have no idea. I am sure there is data. Look it up. I don’t care about crime in Oakland.

    If it bleeds it leads. Getting local news from tv is going to only get you grisly stories. When we had print journalism you could get some real news but alas that is over.

    Seems we can agree the news ( this specific case CNN) will release totally bogus stories for their own benefit.

    As someone who believes in federalism and the clarity provided in the 10th amendment, I agree with you about not caring about Oakland crime.

    Be appreciative of the fact that posters in this section are considerate enough to constantly keep us informed on the crime rates in Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, Philadelphia, NY and Baltimore:)

    My neighborhood had zero crime this week. However last week there was a dust up at the pool when a 17 year old drove his families golf cart into the zero depth pool after hours and was confronted by HOA members who installed video this year. It's been a very divisive week as the mom of the golf cart warrior has correctly pointed out the posted rules do not preclude one from driving a golf cart in the pool. Check CNN for updates.

    I’d like to know why the corrupt lamestream media has kept a lid on this. I’m guessing it’s to conceal Hunter Biden’s involvement.

    i don’t live in Oakland but I’m sure some gators do. I regularly lament once fun areas of atlanta ( where I’ve lived for 20 years) are now regularly reporting violent crimes not just petty theft. You can disagree and others do, just posting my opinion and experiences on a message board.

    All crime discourse in this country is basically a creation of the government and media

    Its not, its actually a pretty cool place to spend some time. Its like judging Chicago based on parts of the South Side.

    i might even go a step further and say almost ALL discourse seems manufactured to keep people at each other for media/govt benefit.

    Ultimately to me, this seems like a story about how cops are admitting they can't do anything about crime. If people think deterrence like bars and bullhorns is laughable, we should be laughing at the cops too, same concept at work. Of course we wont, and they will probably just ask for more money to keep doing nothing.

    What stops crime from making all of America look like Escape from New York?

    In that movie didn't they just make NYC one big prison for all the worst people? Doesn't sound like a very progressive approach to crime, kind of the conservative approach if you ask me. So we are on track for that outcome given this country's approach to crime. Just sit tight.
