Citing Crime, In-N-Out announces closure of Oakland location

16. Is it?

"The San Francisco Chronicle reported since 2019, police have recorded 1,335 incidents in and around the fast food restaurant, more than any other location in Oakland.The San Francisco Chronicle reported since 2019, police have recorded 1,335 incidents in and around the fast food restaurant, more than any other location in Oakland." Is 1335 high? Is it higher than 3 years ago? Is crime going up or down right there? Why only go back to 2019? Was 2018 lower or higher? The article doesn't say. In and around the restaurant?
That's also intentionally vague, are they saying 1335 breakins in the restaurant and it's parking lot, or in the area around it in the last 5 years? How big is this area? 100 yard radius or a 10 mile radius? Seems pretty selective and intentionally fact free. Why couldn't they report some solid stats to support this story?

I find listening to the police spin things is often misleading. Police want budgets to increase, they're always playing up crime.

Was at a friend's house and he described their neighborhood meeting with the police, he lives in an affluent neighborhood that recently saw a shooting, so it was shocking. I wasn't surprised when he told me what the police chief told them. Police cheif told them several lies. FIrst off told him "the city has doubled in size in the last 30 years, but have less police now than we did then." Both were lies, our city has actually seen a small population decrease in the last 30 years, and the police force is bigger today than it was 30 years ago. Police Chief also told him that "crime is so high because they don't have staff." Pointed out above, they have more staff now, and crime was way higher here 30 years ago. The the police chief also told them they can't recruit officers anymore because of Black Lives Matter.

Police chiefs want bigger budgets and more officers, that's their primary want on a day to day basis. Historically low crime rates don't help them.
