OAKLAND -- The concerns over crime in Oakland led to dueling public events on Saturday, highlighting the growing divide over the issue of public safety in the city.
The rally was held in advance of another community safety meeting at a church next door featuring elected officials. Taylor, who narrowly lost the last mayoral election, said various citizen groups are offering solutions but they're not being heard at city hall. "There is no single solution but not enforcing the laws we have and removing consequences for breaking laws is no way to ensure the safety of a community," said Lynne Cooper.
District Attorney Pamela Price is also under fire. Her criminal justice reform agenda is seen by many as being soft on crime but, at the meeting, she struck back, saying criticism of her is based on something else.
