I know that there's some nice places around the hills, hwy 13, Clairmont, and Rockridge areas and I had great times when I lived there. I also noticed that within the 6 years I lived there I observed the city just take a turn for the worse...

And hey...If a teenager in Oakland, not more than 14yrs old, can get his hand on a handgun, and goes around trying and rob someone and ends up shooting them, and then the victim is able to find out later, the name of the shooter and his partner and roughly where they hang out, relay that info to an investigator and the reply I get is "well if you can get a last name then we'll serve a warrant" and nothing gets done, Im sure you'd be somewhat bitter as well.

Speaking of shootings, one night, a bunch of ____ people started getting hyphy, then a guy (i think trying to jack a car) pulled out a gun and shot two brothers dead (from what i read)... point blank...
They def need to get a handle on this gang/gun bull****.
It is NOT the street racing, but it IS the street racing. By that i mean with street races you get always eventually get a big crowd. With big crowds come uninvited guest. and those are usually the dumbasses IMO. And then **** goes down...

Yeah thats terrible, do you think you would have been shot had you just let them take your wallet and keys? not being a dick, but id give that **** up if I was out numbered without a problem and try to go after them or do something else. Seems like you took a huge risk.
That being said my moms friends kid got of bus in pinole after being in the service, got robbed gave his stuff up without any argument even. They told him he was free to go and to get the **** outta there, let him turn around and start walking off then shot him in the back a few times.
Guess it depends on if you think they will shoot you or not even if you give it up.

A dump is a dump no matter where it is. If it makes you any less sad I have a whole list of other BA places that could benefit from some 'explosive correction'.

Before the news about the shootings recently the biggest stories coming out of OPD were about the big crackdowns on street racers...So in 2007, when I wrote that I honestly believed what I was saying...
And hey...If a teenager in Oakland, not more than 14yrs old, can get his hand on a handgun, and goes around trying and rob someone and ends up shooting them, and then the victim is able to find out later, the name of the shooter and his partner and roughly where they hang out, relay that info to an investigator and the reply I get is "well if you can get a last name then we'll serve a warrant" and nothing gets done, Im sure you'd be somewhat bitter as well.

I See your concerns and honestly we run into people upset about stuff like this all the time
You gotta think of it this way, You and I know who did it, but tell a jury that you dont know his last name, or that you werent 100% sure where they hang out yadayadayada. Im sure there were some outside factors regarding your incident, honestly its straight up frustrating some times.
Your free to contact me at any time to discuss, obviously i cant speak for the department but id like to believe its not as simple as stated.
AS for the street racers, If your talking about sideshow street racing.......... Stolen cars EVERYWHERE, Carjacking Cars EVERYWHERE, Tons of Guns, Drugs, Prostitution OUT OF CONTROL. It does need to be stopped, tons of violence stems from these.
If your talking about the harbor street races.... Lots of stolen cars, lots of stolen parts/engines, lots of guns (One year a double homicide happened on middle harbor road during the street races).
But again, I can see your frustration, and trust me im right there with you.
Ive arrested a kid that was given probation for attempted murder........ Yes attempted murder 664/187. How in the heck do you get probation for that.........................
As always hit me up when you wanna talk or discuss. And if you have a report number im more than willing to take a look at your report and see if I can help.
