You know crime is out of control when someone like Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is willing to contradict himself and other elected Democrats to insert himself into local politics to try and fix the problem. Such is the case in Oakland, California.

Newsom has interjected in Alameda County’s affairs on crime because crime in Oakland has become an eyesore for Newsom’s political image. The state is now sending California National Guard prosecutors to handle cases in Alameda County to “speed up” prosecutions, as soft-on-crime District Attorney Pamela Price has continued to drag her feet, reaching a supposedly quick agreement after five months of haggling over a similar one prior.
