Like getting shot in Oakland is a big deal. You'd had a faster response if you had reported that your dealer wouldn't accept your CalFresh EBT.

Police in California have pretty much checked out entirely. It's not worth the .00001 cents worth of electricity to even call them these days. Prosecutors won't bring charges anymore and everything is a misdemeanor.
We're going to start to see the rise of private security forces and hard core gated communities like most other third world countries.

Even worse, you get shamed, criticized and socially ostracized for calling the police

Anytime some anti-Libertarian pops up they talk about the police, roads, etc. There is no way in hell a private company would not do better across all emergency services.

We already have pothole vigilantes sneaking around "illegally" filling potholes in the highest tax city in the highest tax state. You'd think they'd stop voting for more taxes and start voting for privatization eventually.

I used to ride in exact area a lot. I moved away thankfully. Gangsters in 49ers jackets are hanging out on pullout there. Cops don't seem to care they are dealing out in the open in Oakland's most scenic and exclusive area. One of them threw a rock at me. I don't care to ride in Oakland any more.

This is what happens when shooting a drug dealer will get you more time than a drug dealer shooting you.

yeah, 'scenic' if you like dried out mountains, mountainsides should be green not brown

They won't ever do anything with the dealers until Prop 47 and 57 are overturned. At some point, someone is going to go vigilante and watch the APB and wall to wall coverage.

Victim: Help; I've been shot.
9-11: Where are you?
Victim: Oakland.
9-11: Niggers....

If you are in a situation where you feel the need to draw your firearm, why are police even on your mind? Just address the life endangering threat, and call the authorities afterwards, you and your loved ones will be safer for it.

Living in the vicinity of niggers, you'd have to adopt the same mentality as if you were permanently camping in the African bush.

TLDR;
Pellet gun shot in the butt. Police took a long ass time, no scene response but a house call in the middle of the night. Victim is a bike dyke. Wacky kvetching and not much outrage because no firearm and perps were probably not white.

Based hoodlums showing gym teachers what-for.

Doubt it was even a pellet gun. More likely a rock kicked up by the tire of the passing car or something an occupant of the car tossed out the window.
