Assemblywoman Mia Bonta says the pandemic affected the city's response to stopping violence. Now, the state is hoping a first-of-its-kind division will help solve Oakland's crime wave.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, state senator say they are ready to help solve Oakland's crime wave after recent fatal shootings.Attorney General Rob Bonta and Assemblywoman Mia Bonta were in the Bay Area Wednesday to promote a new branch in the state Department of Justice to stop gun violence. At the press conference, both addressed the issue of crime in Oakland.
"We are here ready, willing and able to help Oakland in any way that they need," Attorney General Bonta said. "If they want resources. If they want personnel. If they want us to support in other ways. If they want thought partners to practice new approaches that can be more impactful we can help."Oakland has seen four homicides in three days this week. On Tuesday, two people were shot at a bus stop outside city hall. One man died.
"Out of necessity we have taken some incredible strides on reducing gun violence but I think COVID has taken ahold of us," Assemblywoman Bonta said. "Now we are starting to rebuild those efforts." She says part of that rebuilding process involves giving funding to groups already present in Oakland trying to stop the violence. The City's Department of Violence Prevention aims to get close to families in Oakland and stop crimes before they happen.
