Price is implementing the kind of policies that have contributed in large part\u2062 to the skyrocketing crime that \u200cwe\u2019ve seen around the country \u2014 these can be described \u2064as \u201crestorative justice\u201d \u2014 or the idea that criminals can be \u201crestored\u201d through community programs and \u2062other assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, politicians\u2064 who back \u201crestorative justice\u201d believe that most or all crimes are \u200dcommitted simply because \u200bthe individuals who commit them are victims of systemic \u200bracism or other forms of oppression. So, rather than give them jail time, Price often pursues more lenient sentences.<\/p>\n<p>To really emphasize how bad things \u2064have become \u2063in Oakland, criminals are so brazen that even a county judge \u2062was mugged outside\u2062 his \u2062courthouse last spring.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1690455510071000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0zc8zwWGoXeRzcNJLiJVWI\">CLICK HERE TO \u200dGET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>While\u2063 the\u200b letter noted that\u2062 black Americans suffer the most \u2064from these policies \u2064and their \u200bconsequences, the duo also encouraged \u200c\u201cOakland\u2019s White, Asian, \u200cand Latino communities to speak out against crime and\u2063 stop allowing themselves\u2062 to be shamed into silence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing compassionate or progressive about allowing\u2063 criminal behavior to fester and rob Oakland residents of their\u200c basic rights to\u200d public safety,\u201d the letter added. \u201cIt is not racist or unkind to \u200cwant to be safe from crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one should live in \u200cfear in \u2062our city,\u201d Adams and Jackson\u200c wrote.<\/p>\n<p>While\u200c the\u2064 letter did \u2064say\u200b the city needs to provide more opportunities for youth, it failed to mention \u200cthe need for strong fathers and a two-parent household for society to properly function.
