GOODER AND HARDER, CALIFORNIA:
● ‘Violent Robbery Caravans’ Confronting Police On Oakland Streets.
● Councilwoman wants to offer $50K for officers to work in Oakland.
● Spike of Homicides Causes Oakland Mayor to Reverse Course on Diverting Funds From Police.
● ‘Defund the police’ movement is now dead in Oakland.
Hence the Oceania-style pivot this year, as a form of triage with the midterms looming large.
