Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong’s withering criticism of the city council’s decision to strip the police department of $17-million from its budget is drawing some rave reviews from conservatives, who are applauding the chief’s common sense complaint that stripping the department of much-needed funds is going to exacerbate the already-rising crime rate. As my colleague Bryan Preston at PJ Media recently reported:
One council member said the city might experience “speed bumps” as residents and police adjust to new levels of funding and staffing. Chief Armstrong took direct aim at that statement after noting that Oakland had suffered four homicides in three days, bringing the city’s total for 2021 to 65 homicides. Armstrong said this is a 90% increase in homicides over 2020. Violent crime is up across the board in Oakland, according to the chief.
