Soros Backed DA in Crime Ridden Oakland, CA Hires Boyfriend for Six-Figure Position

People in Oakland, CA are so angry about crime that they recently shouted at their Soros-backed DA during a public meeting.

She must not be very worried about public opinion because she just gave her boyfriend a six-figure job.

It must be nice to be a progressive.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Soros-Backed District Attorney Hires Boyfriend for Six-Figure Position

A George Soros-backed district attorney facing potential recall in California gave her boyfriend a six-figure, taxpayer-funded position in her office.

Alameda County district attorney Pamela Price, who took $130,000 from Soros for her failed 2018 bid, secured the position for her boyfriend Antwon Cloird, the San Jose Mercury News reported Sunday. Cloird joined Price’s office as a “senior program specialist” in 2023, with a $115,502 per year salary. Price brought him onto her team without disclosing their relationship, although it is an “open secret” in the office, according to the report.

Since becoming district attorney in 2022, Price has presided over a massive crime surge in Oakland, the county’s largest city. She has vowed to overhaul the criminal justice system, angering voters in the process. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Oakland last year had a higher violent crime rate than eight comparable cities. As district attorney, Price made eligible for parole gang members who killed a toddler in a freeway gun battle, slashed a triple murderer’s sentence, and gave just seven years to a teen linked to three killings.

Remember when San Francisco successfully recalled their Soros-backed DA Chesa Boudin?

The same thing is now beginning in Oakland.

UPDATE: We're told the initial recall signatures have just been certified by @ACVOTE. That means DA Pamela Price now has seven days to respond to today's notice of intent. After she does, the effort will have 160 days to collect the needed signatures.https://t.co/3W6SuIMXCw

When will voters learn? Any candidate connected to George Soros should be completely avoided.

Entire Minnesota Town’s Police Department Quits

The entire police department for a small town in southeastern Minnesota quit over a pay dispute.

The Goodhue Police Department, including the police chief, resigned over issues with pay.

“Since the resignations have been handed in by our police department, it has been recommended by our city attorney that at this point we need to pursue our other options,” mayor Ellen Anderson Buck said at a city council meeting. “So, at this point, there’s no reason to really talk about pay increases since we no longer have a police force.”

The city has a population of about 1,300.

Members of the Goodhue Police Department were being paid $22 an hour.

NBC News reported:

A small city in southeastern Minnesota could be left without a police department after the whole force recently resigned, according to officials.

The Goodhue Police Department resigned due to issues with the city’s pay, Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck said at a city council meeting Monday. The city is located in a county by the same name, and has a population of just over 1,000, according to its website.

The city council met to discuss options for police coverage following the department’s resignation. The meeting was initially called so the city could discuss salary increases for the department, but the entire team resigned before it could happen.

Police Chief Josh Smith submitted his resignation at a city council meeting on Aug. 9, the Associated Press reported. A full-time officer and five part-time employees resigned two days after learning about Smith.

At a July 26 city council meeting, Smith said there were “zero applicants” for the city’s police department and disclosed that other law enforcement agencies were trying to recruit him and his colleagues.

“So, right now with our current, trying to hire at $22 an hour, you’re never going to see another person again walk through those doors, that’s it,” Smith said. “Unless you guys do a dramatic change.”
