Guardian Angels in Oakland

Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums has invited punk-ass vigilantes, The Guardian Angels to The Town!
Dellums is saying “Bringing in the Guardian Angels is part of the city’s comprehensive plan to provide additional security for Oakland’s business corridors.”
Plan?! Security!?

Do those folks in the red berets with obvious authority complexes make you feel safer? They are not from here. They travel here as outsiders to protect businesses… and our Mayor invited them!?
If the city wants volunteers to keep the peace on Oakland streets, the only organization I can think of maybe being able to do it is Fruit Of Islam (and not the Bakery folks).

I don’t know if I support any authority handed out to either group but I do pose this question:
We know the police are no good and I would favor a community that “polices” itself. At this stage, I ain’t opposed to some sort of organizing to achieve this. Who is doing that? Who has the ability to do that?

If/When The Guardian Angels show up, let's make them feel as unwelcome as possible.

They aren't from here, but their policy is to come and then train locals to do the job, then leave.

The berets are silly.
