“It is literally the definition of kicking someone when they are down,” Andres Giraldo Florez, owner of the Snail Bar in Oakland, California, told City Council candidate Chris Moore after Oakland police gave Florez an invoice for responding to a call that his store had been robbed.

“They came one hour after we got robbed,” Florez explained. “And after one hour that we got robbed, they walked through and they put a piece of wood up with duct tape.”
