Somehow, I think this is not the response they were hoping for. Right now my main question is not if I can placate rioters by giving them what they want.

- HarryHirsch 11y agoIt's not about what they want, it's what you get, post-riot. You have roughly three choices: move avay and incur a longer commute, pay more for (private) security, or continue living where you are with an increased risk of violent crime. Things shouldn't have been allowed to escalate that much.
- Kalium 11y agoOK. It's about what I get, post-riot. What I've got, post-riot, is an inclination to support Oakland PD - horrifying record and all - over possibly-well-meaning rioters. Reforming OPD seems much more tractable than addressing issues over which local politics hold little to no sway.
