Oakland: Good News or Bad? Yet Another TV News Crew Robbed of Camera Equipment at Gunpoint, in Broad Daylight, Even with a Security Guard Present

Thanks to reader-researcher RC.

However, the article below doesn’t say whether the guard was packing heat, or just another warm, fat, colored, unarmed body.

The crew must have been thinking to themselves, ‘But we’re not Fox News, we’re all socialists. They’re supposed to rob the Fox Fascists!’

I guess the raceless robbers will now be able to videotape their crimes, so as to help the cops catch them.

Oops, I just remembered. There are hardly any cops left in Oakland, and the authorities there support colored crooks, anyway.

That’s enough light-hearted banter; Oakland has a real crisis. Its predominantly colored gang-bangers seek to achieve the honor of making Oakland the most dangerous city in America. However, they suffer under three hardships:

1. The Oakland PD has been decimated by budget cuts, thus leaving ever fewer policemen to record ever more crimes;
2. Even when there are cops around, they are under intense pressure to ignore or downgrade crimes; and
3. The media—like the guys the colored felons just helped unburden—are also under intense pressure to ignore or downgrade crimes.

Thus, rather than move up from third to first in the national rankings, Oakland’s felons may have to struggle just remain in the Top 10.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oakland police say a television news crew was robbed of camera equipment at gunpoint in broad daylight even while accompanied by a security guard.

Officials say three men accosted the KGO-TV crew around 2:30 p.m. Friday in West Oakland. At least one had a gun.

Police say the suspects ordered the journalists onto ground before fleeing with camera gear. The crew wasn't hurt.

The incident is the latest robbery targeting media in Oakland.

In November, a KPIX news cameraman was punched and robbed during a live broadcast outside a high school. The incident prompted the station to hire security guards to accompany its crews when they cover news in Oakland.

In July, Bay Area News Group reporters and photographers were robbed of camera equipment while working in Oakland.
