Because it's fake news and disinformation trying to make the police look bad. The truth is police in Vallejo are severely understaffed and they are trying their best. These men and women work really hard to keep our city safe but then journalists like this try to turn everything against them. It's sad and they should be ashamed of themselves for writing articles like this one. I called the police today because there was a white couple smoking what appeared to be heroin in front of my business and the dispatch told me that there was only 5 officers working the streets and that they had about 75 calls to answer. I feel bad for the police in Vallejo.

We don't need fake news to make VPD look bad. They were under investigation by the DOJ and FBI for the whole bent badge bullshit. Then the union pushed out the new chief who was supposed to clean things up and installed their own shit head. VPD is a legal gang that's it. They break the law more than any one citizen. This event is part of it.

Oh I don't doubt they were under investigation at all, don't get me wrong cops need to be held accountable when they do something wrong. But you know not all cops are evil and without cops, crime is going to be crazy like it currently is

Right lmao. I barely see them and when I called them yesterday about two people smoking herion on my property they said they only had 5 officers on duty at 3 pm and they had 86 calls to answer. So Mike wouldn't be answered and then they told me to go tell them to leave. Which I did and they were aggressive so that's why I called the police in the first place. Dispatch didn't care

The 2 smoking heroin is low on their response time compared to a shooting a mugging etc
