Thanks to Arnold, the state is cutting funding to places like Oakland, which is cutting city services, like the police. You get what you pay for. Having Sidd tell Jerry Brown that he's a fascist isn't going to help much.

This is laughable. It has nothing to do with funding. It has everything to do with the individual cops on the beat. There are a lot of great cops out there, but there are also some sickos that take it over the line without cause.
