Cops did a good job. Lucky this wasn't a mass shooting.

It was most of the day with the aftermath...

Law Enforcement routed cars through the Oakland Zoo to avoid the area.

I buy gas at the station shown on occasion...

There's an odd additonal aspect here. It seems this guy had gone on shooting sprees a couple times in the prior weeks. Police had been called but the guy was never taken into custody. The whole thing just seems odd. It looks on the surface like OPD didn't take major action until the shooter actually shot at OPD.

It's hard to do your job when the community roots for the criminals. Especially nowadays where liberals want to lock up police officers doing their job.

This was a racist alt-right breibart fan who terrorized the neighborhood for days despite multiple police reports and multiple witnesses identifying the shooter.

I'm responding to the post that said OPD are lazy bums. I'd be afraid to put myself in dangerous situations in far left cities these days because even when a person is a criminal resisting, the community demands the cop be charged with murder and now some of these cities are trying to do just that.

Growing up fathers of friends were OPD and even the Chief in SF and Oakland...

12 from my High School Class joined OPD.

All are retired and glad to be.

One has a 180k pension plus medical from Oakland... all have pensions in excess of 100k and retired in their early 50's

It is a great department to be retired from... benefits package is very good.

Some retired from OPD and went on to be Chief of smaller cities...
