This decision clearly demonstrates that the city is more concerned\u200c with \u200daccommodating criminals than supporting hardworking individuals.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent video shared by Alameda County supervisor candidate Chris \u2062Moore, a restaurant owner recounts receiving an invoice from the city after a police\u2064 check-in following a robbery.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>BREAKING: City of\u200c Oakland now invoicing\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cuomo-to-partially-reopen-indoor-dining-in-nyc-for-valentines-day-if-positivity-rates-hold\/\" title=\"Cuomo To Partially Reopen Indoor Dining In NYC For Valentine\u2019s Day, \u2018If Positivity Rates Hold\u2019\">small business owners<\/a> after being burglarized.<\/p>\n<p>Snail Bar\u200d Owner Andreas: &#8220;this is the definition of being kicked while\u2063 you&#8217;re down.&#8221; This is the third time Snail Bar has been broken into.<\/p>\n<p>Oakland Council President Nikki Bas, after you&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZjCsVzVY2P\">pic.twitter.com\/ZjCsVzVY2P<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The small business owner expresses frustration, stating, &#8220;They came one\u200d hour after we got robbed.

Those in power seek \u2062to extract\u200b wealth from law-abiding citizens while \u200cshowering honor and privilege upon those who support their agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In California, taxpayer money is used to strip people\u2063 of safety\u200c through defunding the police, while criminals, illegal aliens, and militant gender activists are emboldened. Meanwhile, business owners, homeowners, and other individuals who value normalcy are denigrated as a matter of state policy.<\/p>\n<p>This is the modus operandi\u200b of blue states. \u200bAnarcho-tyranny is\u200b employed to keep\u2064 the population docile, scared, confused, defenseless,\u2062 and impoverished.

Murderers, vandals, and thieves\u2063 were let off the hook, while police were hindered from protecting their\u200c communities due to stand-down orders and calls to defund their departments.<\/p>\n<p>The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle\u2062 provided a safe haven for\u2062 rape and murder, with police and emergency services \u200bprevented from \u2062entering under threat of violence. Businesses were \u200cextorted \u200bfor &#8220;protection.&#8221; Meanwhile, Kyle Rittenhouse, who acted in self-defense during the chaos, faced \u200dsevere legal consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Even when individuals like Daniel Penny restrain violent criminals, they face indictments while the actual criminals roam free. \u2064This is the state of affairs in today&#8217;s blue America.<\/p>\n<p>Blue America, which extends throughout the national managerial state and its corporate-cultural vassals, will\u2063 continue to exert its power until individuals willingly submit to\u2063 its rule.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Samuel Mangold-Lenett is a staff editor at The\u2064 Federalist.

The city of Oakland&#8217;s decision to bill small business owners for police services is just another example of how \u2062criminals are prioritized over hardworking individuals.<\/p>\n<p>By defunding \u200dits police department, \u200bthe city of Oakland has effectively made small businesses more vulnerable to crime. Instead of taking responsibility for the rising crime rates and ensuring\u2064 the safety of its citizens, the city \u200bnow expects business owners to foot \u2062the bill for police services that\u200d should be provided as part of their tax contributions.<\/p>\n<p>The video shared\u2064 by Chris\u2062 Moore is a powerful illustration of this shocking policy. The restaurant owner recounts \u200bthe traumatic experience of being robbed and then \u2062receiving an invoice from the city \u200dfor the police check-in\u2062 that followed. This not only adds insult to injury but also highlights the city&#8217;s disregard for the struggles \u200dof\u2064 small business owners.<\/p>\n<p>The owner&#8217;s frustration is palpable as he explains how the police arrived an hour after the robbery and simply put up\u200c a piece of wood with \u200dduct tape. He rightly questions\u200d why he should be billed for a service that was ineffective and\u2062 inadequate in protecting his business.<\/p>\n<p>This incident reflects a larger issue in California and, more\u2064 specifically, in Oakland. The state\u2063 has seen a mass exodus of businesses and\u200c residents in recent years, as the once prosperous and \u2064desirable state has become riddled with crime, filth, and unaffordability. The policies implemented by the \u200bleftist leaders \u200cin\u2062 the state have only exacerbated these problems, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lott-biden-atf-proposing-back-door-plan-for-natl-gun-registry\/\" title=\"Lott: Biden's ATF seeks 'secret' scheme for national gun registry.\">leaving law-abiding citizens<\/a> to suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>It\u200c is clear that the city of Oakland&#8217;s decision to prioritize criminals over small business owners is part of a larger agenda. \u200bBy defunding the police and shifting \u200bthe burden onto business owners,\u200b the city\u2063 is \u200bsending a message that criminal behavior\u2063 will be tolerated and\u200d protected, while hardworking individuals are left to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>This warped sense of justice and misplaced priorities must be called out and challenged. Small \u2064business owners are the backbone of our communities and should be supported,\u2062 not punished, for their contributions to local economies.<\/p>\n<p>It is time for the city of Oakland to reassess its \u2064approach to public safety and prioritize the well-being of \u2064its residents and businesses. Instead of\u2064 billing business owners, the \u2062city should be investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/katko-were-going-to-force-biden-to-return-to-some-trump-border-policies-to-avoid-shutdown-if-we-take-congress\/\" title=\"Katko: 'We're Going to Force' Biden to Return to Some Trump Border Policies to Avoid Shutdown if We Take Congress\">robust law enforcement<\/a> and crime prevention measures that will truly\u200d protect its citizens.<\/p>\n<p>California, and Oakland in particular, deserve leaders who prioritize the safety\u2062 and prosperity of \u200ctheir constituents over political agendas. It is time for a change, and \u2062it is up\u200c to the\u200b residents and business owners\u200b to demand it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bill for $3,000 for police services.
