Oakland NAACP Revolts Against Leftist Progressive Policies And Soros-Backed DA

[Infolurker]

NAACP revolts against the foolish Progressives in Oakland. I do like exactly how she put it. Retard Regressive policies have devastated the city and a State Of Emergency needs to be declared to tackle crime.

Now we just need new National NAACP leadership that hasn't been bribed / bought and paid for 10 times over by the Democrats that actually represents the community. I hope many more NAACP chapter turn against these Soros- DA's.

The Oakland NAACP released a statement Thursday calling for state and local elected leaders to declare a "state of emergency" as a result of increasing violent crime in the California city.



The statement, written by Oakland NAACP president Cynthia Adams and Bishop Bob Jackson of Acts Full Gospel Church, blasted soft-on-crime local officials as well as left-wing activism for the surge in crime.


"Failed leadership, including the movement to defund the police, our District Attorney’s unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes, and the proliferation of anti-police rhetoric have created a heyday for Oakland criminals," Adams and Jackson wrote.


Adams and Jackson also said that African Americans were disproportionately affected by crime and criticized misguided attempts to alleviate racism by refusing to prosecute violent offenders.


"There is nothing compassionate or progressive about allowing criminal behavior to fester and rob Oakland residents of their basic rights to public safety. It is not racist or unkind to want to be safe from crime," the statement read.


Adams and Jackson called on city and state officials to devote additional resources, including police officers, to resolve the problem:


"We are in crisis and elected leaders must declare a state of emergency and bring resources together from the city, the county, and the state to end the crisis."

Price, who took office in January, ran on radical soft-on-crime "restorative justice" policies, including finding alternatives to incarceration. Multiple veteran prosecutors in Price's district have since resigned, citing her failed leadership.

One former Oakland prosecutor claimed that Price's policies prevented her from "fulfilling my legal and ethical duties," a sentiment echoed by several colleagues who also chose to walk away from their positions.


Earlier this month, a committee was launched, "Save Alameda for Everyone: Recall DA Price," to fundraise and gather signatures to remove Price from office.


Price responded to her critics last week by comparing them to "election deniers" and claiming that the DA's office "has really no impact on crime."



However, Price also admitted to KPIX-TV, "Anytime that we can divert someone from the criminal justice system, that is a goal because the criminal justice system has been shown to be racially biased."


Oakland's NAACP published a letter this week directly blaming "failed leadership" and the "proliferation of anti-police rhetoric" for the city's "intolerable" spike in crime "that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities."
"If there is no consequences for committing crime in Oakland, crime will continue to soar," the organization wrote. "We are in crisis and elected leaders must declare a state of emergency and bring resources together from the city, the county, and the state to end the crisis."


"Unfortunately, progressive policies and failed leadership have chased away or delayed significant blue collar job development in the city, the Port of Oakland, and the former Army Base," it added.


"We urge African Americans to speak out and demand improved public safety," the NAACP continued. "We also encourage Oakland's White, Asian, and Latino communities to speak out against crime and stop allowing themselves to be shamed into silence. There is nothing compassionate or progressive about allowing criminal behavior to fester and rob Oakland residents of their basic rights to public safety. It is not racist or unkind to want to be safe from crime."

Good. I hope it spreads nation wide, and really should happen world wide.

People are waking up.

Unchecked crime, homeless drug users shitting and tossing needles everywhere. The cities are turning to shit and sooner or later, those that "can't move" are going to have enough of it and toss their Progressive retards out to replace them with less retarded Progressives unless we experience an awakening and a full rejection of DNC policies.

Sounds great!!
But this is likely a standard controlled opposition -- fake outrage operation 
The chaos will continue as planned
Regardless of where it grows, a banana is still a banana

It's awesome to see people wake up and smell the roses...
