Don't TV networks learn their lesson from the follies of other networks? News crews are big targets in Oakland, even in the supposedly safe "Oakland Hills":

Quote:
Late one night in June, a KTVU news crew was robbed of a computer, camera and tripod by several men who pushed their way into their van parked on Redwood Road in the Oakland hills.

In May, a man stole a camera and tripod from a KNTV crew at 20th Street and San Pablo Avenue.

Veteran Oakland Tribune photographer Laura Oda has twice been robbed of cameras since July.
Quote:
Sources, however, said all KPIX crews covering stories in Oakland would be accompanied by security guards, day or night, effective immediately.
I guess they did learn their lesson though I hope these guys are armed, especially in Oakland.

Of course this could be just the "biased media" getting robbed on purpose to harm Oakland's reputation.
