With a 62 million dollar shortfall facing the city of Oakland and cuts to the police department of 15 million dollars expected, a 2020 warning from the Oakland Police Officers’ Association has become a reality as homicide in the city have spiked 1300% in 2021.
Oakland has had 14 homicides since the start of the year that compares with a single homicide during the same time period last year.
2020 saw close to a 30% increase in homicides from 2019 with 102 last year.
With demands of “de-funding” the police along with an unprecedented budget shortfall, it appears the citizens of Oakland are in for a rough and rocky year.
