    Let Oakland Burn, Its already lost and has been one of the worst places in CA for a long time.

Its obvious that the criminal public doesnt care about order in that city any longer and it will only continue to get worse just as it has for the past 20 years!

    I agree with you! My 15 year old daughter was hit head on by a car and drug for over a block under the front end of the car. She spent 15 days in the hospital. It took me making OPD do at least something. Everytime I complained they transfered the case. Sgt.Elder told me “Oakland is a terrible place and terrible things happen here and pretty much this is what you get for coming here” I moved!!! this is a fine example of the OPD!!If my daughter was that of a opd officer you can bet the choppers would be flying like they were for that Fremont officer. I gave them the name/address for the girl who was in the car who had her ran over, but the girl did not want to tell them who was driving..really, you cant break a girl who is 15?
