Oakland, California residents were furious with City Council member Dan Kalb on Tuesday night, in what was meant to be a conversation about the increase in violent crimes.
Local leaders in Oakland were shredded by members of the audience who warned of lawlessness in their neighborhoods.
Kalb did not disagree with the man, saying the budget has not been adopted yet, and the reduction in funds for police was a concern for him. Oakland police are investigating a series of robberies allegedly involving nine underage boys and girls.The crowd quickly shouted their boos as soon as Killens said the common factor of the people breaking into cars are that they are hurting inside.
Jennifer Graham told Kalb that her son, who suffered from mental illness, was murdered in December 2021. Graham’s main concerns was the lack of accountability when it came to connecting people to services. The same business owner said over the past six years, his staff has been held at gunpoint four times. Because of that, the shop no longer accepts cash, which he said is difficult at times, especially when someone comes in for a slice of pizza and does not have a credit card because they cannot get one.
Lillian told the council member not to respond, as she was"totally traumatized" after"two kids beat the s- - -" out of her in front of her house.
