Crime was a key concern at the community meeting on the eve of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's first State of the City address. Councilmember Dan Kalb says the city will formally ask the federal government for more help from the FBI as the city marks a violent year.
On the eve of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's first State of the City address, a community safety meeting was held to advocate change after a violent year.On Tuesday, Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao will give her first State of the City address.
"I'm sure if we all put our minds together we can come up with something," said Oakland resident Damian Law."If we come together as a community, we believe that change can and will take place," said Antoine Shyne, a senior pastor at Beebe Memorial Cathedral in Oakland."Things have truly changed. The stealing, all the businesses that have closed down, all the empty buildings we have is just ridiculous," says Lisa Reynolds who lives in Oakland.
Not just complaining, but those in attendance advocating for change, after a weekend where we saw three more killings bringing the yearly homicide total in Oakland to above 100. Several people at Monday's meeting would also like to see some police officers on bicycles going forward. Burglaries, robberies, and vehicle thefts are all up. Someone even stole a taco truck last weekend.Colebruno says he has surveillance pictures and video of the man who committed crimes at his home but couldn't get that to police.
