Dem-run city is dubbed the 'new Oakland' amid crime spike

 
The leafy East Bay city of Antioch is in the grip of a spiraling gang war after police numbers collapsed under the Democrat-run council and its 'equity conscious' mayor. Crime was already spiking on every major metric before a weekend of unprecedented gun violence left one man dead, emptied the city center and left business owners fearing for their future. Police numbers have plunged from 115 to 76 in the last four years under the tenure of Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe who was elected in the teeth of opposition from the local police Officers' Association.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
