'We are going all-hands-on-deck to address the gun violence in the city of Oakland,' says Chief Armstrong. Of the 450 shootings in Oakland this year, 137 are related to gang violence, he said.
He points out that police do not prevent violence - they respond to it. He claims Oakland's police department already has a poor record of responding, and that adding more cops won't change that.
"Crime and violence is a direct response to poverty and disinvestment in communities. Not more police," says Saabir Lockett. He is the Director of Faith Alliance for More Economy at EBASE, the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy. The organization works for economic justice for low income workers.
Chief Armstrong says that the department will also rely on federal law enforcement partners to help them tackle gun violence in Oakland.
