Residents of Oakland's Montclair neighborhood confront Alameda County DA Pamela Price and a representative of the Oakland police department over rising crime Thursday night.
OAKLAND -- At a heated community meeting Thursday night, residents of Oakland's Montclair neighborhood had a chance to confront Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price and the Oakland police department over rising crime.
Montclair Presbyterian church was filled to capacity with many left outside. The crowd inside was eager to talk about violent crime and started interjecting as District Attorney Pamela Price tried to deliver a presentation about criminal justice. The frustration wasn't just aimed at the district attorney. Captain Clay Burch from the Oakland police department was questioned about what officers are doing to prevent crime.
Many concerned residents wanted to hear more about how criminals are punished. One woman said,"I just have to say, there has to be consequences and I just feel there are no consequences for these children."
