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.

“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Louis D. Brandeis
