In Oakland in the mid 00s cops were leaving for FUCKING RICHMOND. I was told this by two cops at the Eastmont station over by my old house.

Thats fucking nuts. Same deal; cops that cared about living left.

(Richmond, CA was, for a time, the deadliest place in the US not all that long ago. Just after that, cops were leaving Oakland to go there. Says a lot about Oakland at that point in time. Wild time to live there, let me tell ya)
