Oaklanders Want Safer Streets!

Who doesn’t think crime is a problem in Oakland? Whether we’re talking about bipping (breaking car windows and stealing items from the car), stolen vehicles, reckless driving, small-business burglaries, organized retail theft, armed robberies, or, the worst, homicides, Oaklanders want it all to STOP! Yesterday!
