Oakland in particular is an extreme example of complete disconnect between the people they are supposed to be serving and what they actually do. mk, "learn the neighborhood, get to know the residents?" psh. "Nah, let's double down and build our own data collection center, claim it's to help stop crime, and instead use it track local activist groups." And everyone wonders why windows get broken and cops are hated around these parts. Granted, Oakland has a looong activist and anti-cop history, but they're just pouring fuel on the fire at this point.
