If they deserve police, so do we. They want our neighborhoods to be chaos, lawless, and lack police and protection. Do not fall for it. They would never live here.<\/p>\n<p>Before they made things worse for our community, yes, homicides did go down for a few years. Mayor Libby Schaaf wants to take credit for this as if she reduced crime, but in reality, she just priced the criminals out of Oakland with huge rent increases. It is not as surprising when you take in factors of the &#8220;New Oakland,&#8221; such as rent being too high for criminals and people being pushed out of Oakland to further away from cities like Tracy and Stockton. The fact that the murderers have already killed large numbers of each other off makes it understandable that we had a slight decrease in homicides for a few years as Oakland became unaffordable.<\/p>\n<h2>Oakland Homicide Rate History<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the yearly homicide statistics from 1992 until the present.<br \/>\nThese statistics are obtained from a few sources.

The city attributes most of the violent crimes to gang-related activity. The gang violence is surely adding to the cities record numbers, and the police task force has been cracking down on gang violence lately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They Say Murders Are Declining<\/strong><br \/>\nHowever, I have noticed a few bad trends because I pay close attention to the topic. Many people are still being shot, and luckily they are just not being killed. The Oakland murder rates have been so high because of gang wars in Oakland and turf battles, but many of those people are already dead and in jail, so the overall death toll is dropping.<br \/>\nBut what about these other shootings? It turns out many innocents are being shot in the legs and arms purposely during recent robberies. So the street criminals that are out robbing people are also shooting them in a manner that will not kill them. And some of these are victims that have already surrendered their possessions and phones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Random Oakland Shootings<\/strong><br \/>\n1 Robbed, shot and killed while hiking in Oakland Hills Park [<a title=\"oakland hills killing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2014\/11\/26\/oakland-park-slaying-victim-identified-as-longtime-teacher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">link<\/a>]<br \/>\n2 Shot for no reason in leg [<a title=\"2 shootings\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2014\/06\/13\/two-wounded-in-oakland-shootings-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">link<\/a>]<br \/>\n2 innocents 1 robbery and one no reason [<a title=\"oakland shootings.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2014\/06\/15\/four-wounded-in-oakland-shootings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">link<\/a>]<br \/>\n1 shot downtown for no reason.

I have only listed a few of the shootings that did not amount to deaths, but there are a lot more. Most alarming is the trend of shooting robbery victims for no reason. The &#8220;war on gentrification&#8221; has gotten dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>While gang shootings, murders, and neighborhood violence are dropping, carjackings, residential robberies such as burglary, and home invasions are on the rise. So basically, while the people in the streets have killed off most of the targets and murders rates are indeed dropping, crime on newcomers moving to Oakland is still on the rise so be careful.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out Oakland made the <a title=\"robbery capitol\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/2014\/11\/15\/fbi-report-oakland-again-tops-nation-in-robberies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">robbery capitol<\/a> of America yet again in 2013. Surprised? Not at all. Murders are going down, and transplants are being robbed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Francisco Homicides<\/strong><br \/>\n2022: 50<br \/>\n2021: 48<br \/>\n2020: 44<br \/>\n2019: 32<br \/>\n2018: 42<br \/>\n2017: 52<br \/>\n2016: 58<br \/>\n2014: 41<br \/>\n2013: 46<br \/>\n2012: 68<br \/>\n2011: 50<br \/>\n2010: 48<br \/>\n2009: 45<br \/>\n2008: 98<br \/>\n2007: 100<br \/>\n2006: 86<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Jose Homicides<\/strong><br \/>\n2022: 35<br \/>\n2021: 42<br \/>\n2020: 40<br \/>\n2019: 36<br \/>\n2018: 24<br \/>\n2017: 34<br \/>\n2016: 49<br \/>\n2014: 32<br \/>\n2013: 44<br \/>\n2012: 46<br \/>\n2011: 41<\/p>\n<p><strong>Berkeley Homicides<\/strong><br \/>\n2011: 1<br \/>\n2010: 5<br \/>\n2009: 6<br \/>\n2008: 8<br \/>\n2007: 5<br \/>\n2006: 4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Richmond Homicides<\/strong><br \/>\n2014: 13<br \/>\n2012: 18<br \/>\n2011: 26<br \/>\n2010: 21<br \/>\n2009: 47<br \/>\n1991: 62<\/p>\n<p><strong>Popped in Oakland: The Follow Up<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/vv-arP2ZihI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis documentary about shootings in Oakland takes you down the rabbit hole into deep East Oakland.<\/p>\n<p>In response to a few comments saying we don&#8217;t need a youth curfew and that it won&#8217;t help with the problem. It would help greatly.<br \/>\nWhat kid under 18 should be out past 10 pm on any night? Most of the killings and robberies are from people under 18.<br \/>\nWith a curfew in place, police would pull these kids over and find guns and solve murders.<\/p>\n<p>Some say we just need after-school programs? How would that benefit 11 pm on a Saturday?<\/p>\n<p>Or more jobs? Easy to say, but where do jobs come from? Thin air?<br \/>\nWhy would any smart company move into Oakland? So that their employees can get robbed walking from the office to BART?<br \/>\nAnd if another company did move in offering 10,000 positions, how many of those would be fillable by some 17-year-old killer with no skill set?<br \/>\nOh, so now you say we need more schools? More schools won&#8217;t make someone learn. It won&#8217;t stop them from doing what they are doing. Anyone who wants to learn can and will.<br \/>\nI work in the IT field and did not go to &#8220;school&#8221; for it. I learned on my own on the internet.<br \/>\nI too am from the <a title=\"oakland schools\" href=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/oakland-unified-school-district-1986-500x373.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland Unified School District<\/a> and dealt with over crowded classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Parents are the issue, and morals are the issue; the lack of police to stop these people without parents or morals is the issue.<br \/>\nSo you can pretend poor Oakland and its lack of schools and jobs, but the real issue is a bunch of residents of Oakland at this time period don&#8217;t value human life, couldn&#8217;t work a job if they even wanted one, and wouldn&#8217;t attend after-school programs if they were available.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/vDxgJq4toYo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nI love my city, born and raised here and seen it through many tough times.
