The Oakland Police Department is investigating a violent and chaotic “sideshow” that ended up with a mob torching a car and someone plowing another vehicle into it.
A video posted on Twitter shows the scary scene unfolding late Friday night near the intersection of Oak Street and 10th near the Oakland Museum of California.

In a series of tweets, journalist Michael Shellenberger said the proliferation of dangerous sideshows results from “a progressive D.A. who has stopped enforcing many laws.”
Oakland voters felt law enforcement was too strict and so last fall elected a progressive D.A. who has stopped enforcing many laws. The result is lawlessness, “sideshows,” and assaults carried out with impunity. pic.twitter.com/xf6xWc6EPD

Shellenberger said police are powerless to stop “criminal sideshows because @MayorShengThao & DA Pamela Price refuse to prosecute “nonviolent crimes””.
In this video you can see Oakland police casually filming the mayhem, which went on for hours. They aren’t to blame. Police are helpless to stop the criminal sideshows because @MayorShengThao & DA Pamela Price refuse to prosecute “nonviolent crimes”pic.twitter.com/iPu9zhD0IY

He pointed out District Attorney Pamela Price is Soros-backed.
“So far, the Soros PAC has spent more than $559,000 to help [Oakland DA] Price” who “said she was drawn into the race by what she sees as the ‘absolutely outrageous’ over-prosecution of young blacks” pic.twitter.com/FmvuxkMPFw

Another sideshow was down the street from Mark Zuckerberg’s mansion in San Fransico.

Lawlessness is spreading like cancer throughout the progressive-run Bay Area.

These shocking scenes stem from progressive city leadership’s inability to maintain law and order. Similar occurrences have recently been observed in cities like Baltimore and Chicago, where groups of young people wreak havoc on city streets. As they say… stay out of the cities.
