The crime map for Oakland, California, provides a telling glimpse into the reality that locals there live with on a daily basis.
The colored dots indicate incidents of car thefts, assaults, drug-related crimes, robberies, and so on that have taken place in and around Oakland the previous week.
The map is an indicator of what many have known for some time—namely, that failure to support law enforcement and prosecute criminals will result in more crime.
In 2020, far-left lawmakers and activists called for the defunding of America’s police departments. Claims like “Defunding the Police Will Actually Make Us Safer” from the American Civil Liberties Union discouraged policing and encouraged crime. Now, America is reaping the consequences.
