Violence and the Closing of Businesses Plagues Oakland

There have been numerous businesses closing in Oakland over the last year, due to burglaries and violence. Many residents are fed up with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao for a perceived lack of urgency to take action against the city's crime epidemic. Not to mention the mayor's delayed decision to appoint a police chief over the Oakland Police. Residents have started petitions to recall  both Mayor Thao and Alameda County DA Pamela Price.
