I live a little over an hour east of where this was filmed. According to a friend of mine who works for Alameda County SO, this kind of stuff happens all the time. He says that while the various LE agencies would never admit it publicly, there are parts of Oakland that are left completely unpatrolled because LEOs who venture into those areas are regularly shot at. Even though I don't live close enough to the East Bay to see this stuff firsthand, we get a lot of the residual gang-related BS here. Most of it comes from that area.
I laugh a little when people ask me why I'm moving out of California.
Probably afraid if they do any shooting, one of those good little boy's mama gonna complain to the liberal city leaders and the PD will be shit on by the "leaders".
I'd be in favor of some good old fashioned Martial Law. Send in the Marines for a couple weeks to clean that crap up. Once they have a new slate, replace the Police Chief, County Sheriff and District Attorney with Conservatives who are tough on crime, and maybe... just maybe decent hard working people would consider moving back.
Haha that was a joke about the kind of force they would need to truly clean that city up, which sadly for the any good people still left in Oakland is never going to happen.
