Ah, Oakland, California… Kind of a suburb of San Francisco with the same screwed up results. They defunded the police there, rioted all summer of 2020 and now are urging residents to use airhorns whenever they are a victim of a crime.. Seriously..
Police in Democrat-run Oakland, California, are urging residents to use airhorns as a way of sounding an alarm when criminals strike amid a surge in crime.
Crime has risen to a point where police are not only advising the purchase of airhorns but also the placement of “security bars to…doors and windows,” CNN noted.
Burglaries in the city are up 41 percent “and robberies by more than 20 percent.”
Oakland resident Toni Bird indicated that she followed the advice of police and now has three airhorns.
Bird said, “The types of crime that we’re seeing feel much more violent and the consequences feel much more severe. And it feels like the people that are being targeted are people who are vulnerable.”
