Check out these news stories on yesterday’s incident where Oakland’s Violence Prevention Chief (their version of the ONS) was being interviewed when a couple of armed persons pulled up to rob them of the camera and other valuables.  It was only one the armed security guard pulled his weapon that the bad guys left.  Please note that this wasn’t a mental health specialist or a homeless advocate that saved the day—it was a private armed “police officer.”
