Gov. Newsom visits Oakland to pressure city to scale back pursuit policy, allow more police chases in town
Story by Nate Gartrell, The Mercury News • 14h

OAKLAND, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom held a news conference Friday to pressure Oakland officials to scale back a policy that only allows the cops to chase someone if there’s reasonable suspicion they have committed a violent crime.

Calling the city’s policy an “extreme outlier,” Newsom first announced plans to extend a “surge” in California Highway Patrol support to combat retail theft, vehicle theft and sideshows in the East Bay. Then he said the popular program would only continue if the city meets him halfway.
 
“We’re at that point in time that we need to see some commiserate support and changes as it relates to policing here in Oakland in order to consider extending that state-subsidized partnership,” Newsom said Friday, flanked by CHP officers, a local bishop and the city’s Chamber of Commerce CEO.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Is he more worried about illegal immigrants or American/California citizens?  My guess would be illegals.

I'm not sure how urging the City of Oakland to allow MORE police pursuits is related to concern or lack thereof for illegal immigrants or American/California citizens.

Noisome is urging Oakland to improve policing. Whether police-hating activists will succeed in quashing this effort will be seen, though Oakland's budgetary problems compounded by business closings complicate the decision.
