Deadly end to 2024 in Oakland despite overall homicide drop

[@lemontea128]

Crime is down 😂😂😂😂 more like unreported

[@chuckxu5910]

That’s my hood east 14th international Blvd AKA little Haiti 🇭🇹

[@Eta30mins]

Why does it seem like mayors don’t exist or seem extremely absent from their cities?

[@desmond-hawkins]

Murders are rarely unreported in cities, bud. I know, statistics is hard… all these numbers make it so difficult.

[@ely26]

​@desmond-hawkins you must not know oakland. There are no-go zones where cops never show up even when people shoot guns in the air. There are tent/shack cities and garbage dumps blocing emergency services to neighborhoods. I can only imagine how many people go missing there.

[@antster7]

But oakland just had a conference patting themselves in the back saying violent crimes are down...

[@kwesty1]

Oaklandistan does not disappoint.

[@propblast82nd]

Every time some Democrat politician says crime in Oakland is down, the streets are filled with bodies

Sooo, crime is down? 😢 4 souls gone in 24 hrs? Praying 😢😢😢

[@NovaJaye]

Even if the crime rate is down, it is just from extremely terrible to very very terrible.

[@duinay3]

Why do you always tell us crime is down overall - it's like a spit in our face

[@desmond-hawkins]

Aww… do you find facts and reality difficult to accept? It _is_ possible for crime to be down and multiple murders to still occur, you know? It's really not that difficult to understand. Just because crime is high, doesn't mean it wasn't even higher before. Do you get it now? I hope so 🙂

[@rishabmalik4361]

@@desmond-hawkinswhat are you yapping about? Crime is definitely not down. Open up a statistics page, google is free i promise you. Jesus Christ how are you this dense

[@desmond-hawkins]

@@rishabmalik4361 Google search: "is crime down or up". 100% results show crime is down. "Oakland reports 34% drop in homicides" (85 in 2024 vs 126 in 2023). You were saying? Who's dense here? Facts don't care about your feelings, bud.

Crime isn't being REPORTED, thus leading to "less" crime.

Crime is down. Tell that to the deceased.

Ah, but crime IS down since that person was shot...

[@evacado.01]

How sad for the community. Some of those citizens can’t afford to move out. 😢 They are not safe.

[@loveylady7965]

kids are not safe at some schools either

[@jeffharrison1090]

Why didn't the Oakland "ambassadors" stop these shootings/killings? The ambassadors have such DEEP "connections" with the community! The ambassadors are touted as those that will "change" the character of Oakland with their "LOVE".

i hope the asians are ok.

Crime is down bc opd is not responding. I had a break in on 12/30 11 am called opd and they called me back 1/2/25 @ 1:05AM. I understand why they’re not reporting it. What’s so bad is a saw an officer in his police car driving by where the break in was and he said I’m eating lunch I will b back. Never came back. So yes crime is down for opd bc they never show up, and when they call back it’s days later. Just give highway patrol Oakland.

[@novelaego2404]

lol im not laughing at you. Im loling at this ridiculousness of your story and opd.
