'It's really disturbing.' After a weekend of deadly shootings and multiple major illegal sideshows in Oakland, city officials are demanding more be done to end the violence.
The Oakland Police Department has made three arrests in two separate cases. The police union said the spike in violent crime and overwhelmed officers meant that some lower-priority calls for service went unanswered for up to 12 hours.
Illegal sideshows were also a major concern over the weekend. Dozens of cars gathered at three separate sideshows, including one involving a big rig near the port. "It's just crazy and the reality is its illegal," Gallo said."You are destroying our streets. You're making them unsafe for our children and family and that cannot be accepted."
