In a press event on Tuesday, Oakland\u2019s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce President Carl Chan called on California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to help with the rise in robberies and assaults hurting the city.<\/p>\n<p>Chan said people shouldn\u2019t blame local police, saying residents appreciate what they\u2019re doing and \u201ctheir job is not easy.\u201d He added the main factor for the rise in crime was due to defunding and demonizing the Oakland Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>This comes after the Oakland City Council voted to move more than $17 million in funds from the OPD in June and allocate the money to other programs. Oakland Police chief Leronne Armstrong slammed the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat additional $17 million that was reduced from the police department\u2019s budget will have an impact, when you hear the statement from those that say nothing will change, that is not true. Yes it will,\u201d said Armstrong.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Chan has called on Newsom to send help, but not just to Chinatown. His calls come after a man was shot in Oakland\u2019s Chinatown on Saturday after trying to stop a robbery. The man was struck in the armpit and leg. He has since been released from the hospital and is recovering.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I really wanted to try to de-escalate the situation,&#8221; says a Good Samaritan who wanted to be ID&#8217;d only as Mr. Li. He tried to stop 2 women from being robbed in Oakland&#8217;s Chinatown but ended up getting shot. He&#8217;s now out of the hospital. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Vb4EUyIS0s\">https:\/\/t.co\/Vb4EUyIS0s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TYoowI5m4N\">pic.twitter.com\/TYoowI5m4N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Henry K.
