On Tuesday, Newsom sent \u2063120\u200c state troopers to Oakland and the surrounding county. The surge in crime has prompted a recall effort against Price, who campaigned against incarceration and \u2062promised to review unfair prosecutions and \u2063excessive sentencing practices. During\u2062 her tenure\u2064 as DA, she sentenced \u200ca teenager linked to three murders to only seven years in prison and made \u200bit possible for gang \u2062members who murdered a toddler \u200cto \u200dbe eligible for\u2062 parole. A \u2062poll conducted last fall revealed\u2062 that a majority of Oakland residents would vote to replace her as DA, with only\u2063 28 percent having a favorable view of her, while 92 percent listed reducing crime as a top priority.<\/p>\n<p>According to the governor&#8217;s office,\u200d the \u200dstate attorneys \u2062will focus on &#8220;increasing the prosecutions&#8221; of individuals who have \u2062committed \u200dviolent crimes, property crimes,\u2062 and &#8220;serious&#8221; \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/police-seize-enough-opioids-to-kill-50-million-people-two-arrested\/\" title=\"Police Seize Enough Opioids To Kill 50 Million People, Two Arrested\">drug-related felonies<\/a>. Last year, \u200cOakland experienced a 21 percent increase in violent crime, with robberies rising by 38 percent and vehicle thefts spiking by 44 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a\u2062 local voter \u2062coalition called Save\u200d Alameda for Everyone is actively \u200dcollecting signatures to recall Price. The coalition is led by a mother whose son was \u2063fatally shot in Oakland in 2010 and the former president of the local Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. To qualify the \u200crecall for\u2064 the November \u2064ballot, the group needs to gather over 73,000 signatures \u200dby mid-March. They argue that Price &#8220;is failing us in her responsibility to enforce the law, prosecute criminals, \u200band keep violent offenders off our streets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Price received $130,000 from Soros during her unsuccessful 2018 campaign for district \u200cattorney.\u2062 She also enjoys financial support \u2062from the wives of California \u2063millionaires, who have contributed to\u200d the soft-on-crime transformation of the state&#8217;s justice system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> While Governor Newsom&#8217;s decision to deploy prosecutorial backup is commendable, what \u2063other measures can be \u2062taken to address the root causes of crime and create a safer environment in Oakland \u2064and its surrounding areas<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Mes as a response to growing \u2062concerns over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dc-selects-pamela-smith-as-police-chief-as-crime-in-city-soars\/\" title=\"Pamela Smith chosen as DC police chief amidst rising crime.\">rising \u2062crime rates<\/a> in Oakland and the surrounding areas. According to reports, there has been a significant increase in organized retail crime and the \u200ddistribution of the dangerous drug, Fentanyl, in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Newsom&#8217;s move to deploy prosecutorial backup to Oakland aims to address these issues\u2063 by ensuring that suspects are\u200b held accountable for their\u2062 actions.\u2064 This decision comes at a crucial time when efforts to remove the lenient prosecutor, Pamela Price, who is supported \u2064by philanthropist\u200b George \u200cSoros, gain traction.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064lenient sentencing policies advocated by Price have been a subject of criticism and concern among residents and law enforcement agencies alike.\u200c The recall campaign against her, just one year into her tenure,\u200b reflects the frustration and\u2063 dissatisfaction with her approach to prosecuting criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Price&#8217;s response to the governor&#8217;s \u2063decision has been positive,\u200b expressing gratitude for the support in the fight against organized retail crime and the Fentanyl crisis.
