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.

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.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
