China News Service, December 7th. According to the US "World Journal" report, Stewart Chen, chairman of the preparatory committee of the Oakland China Promotion Association, and Ma Zuolin, the captain of the Chinatown Social Security Team of the East Bay Taishan Association, said on the 5th that China A gun robbery occurred between Port 9th Street and Jackson Street at noon on the 4th.

A white customer of a Chinese dentist who was paying the parking fee outside was robbed of a valuable watch by two African Americans. He was also beaten on the head by the robber with a rifle butt. Fortunately, it was not a serious problem.

The assistant of the dentist acted bravely, fought with the gangster, and shot the pistol to the ground.

The robbers finally escaped.

  Zhuang Jinzhen said that he personally suggested that the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCP) pass the budget to help the Oakland Police Department purchase a number of drones to assist the police in combating and arresting criminals involved in robberies. He also hopes that members of the Preparatory Committee can vote for this plan and support the police. Staff handle cases and maintain public order in Chinatown.

  Ma Zuolin said that at 12:30 noon on the 4th, a white customer came out of the dental clinic on 9th Street and Jackson Street, probably to pay the parking fee on the side of the road.

Two Africans rushed to rob.

The robber beat the customer on the head with a rifle butt, and the victim was beaten to the head. After snatching the valuable watch, the robber quickly fled.

Fortunately, the victim did not resist and was not seriously injured.

After hearing the news, the social security team rushed to the scene to help maintain order.

It is reported that there was a camera nearby, and the police had called the video, hoping to catch the suspect.

He also reminded Chinese, ladies and old people to go out, it is best to be accompanied by someone.

Avoid going out at night or going to remote streets.

  The Chiropractic Clinic in Zhuangjin Town was opened near the site of the incident and adjacent to the Chinese Dental Clinic.

At that time, an Asian female patient happened to go out in Zhuang Jin Town and witnessed part of the incident.

  It turned out that when the two robbers robbed with guns, they shouted to the victim at the beginning, "Give me the watch." I don't know when they learned that the victim had valuables.

Before the victim had time to react, the robber took up a gun and hit someone.

After succeeding, the robber ran away, just facing the female customer, causing her to yell, thinking that the robber was going to attack her, but later found out that the other party was escaping by car.

  After struggling and shouting, the owners and customers of the commercial building in the incident were alarmed, and people ran out to check.

At this time, the assistant of the Chinese dentist rushed out and fought with the robbers. He once shot a pistol to the ground, and the robber finally picked up the gun and fled.

  Zhuang Jinzhen said that the police responded quickly. In less than 5 minutes, there were 3 police cars and 4 police officers to deal with, and his Asian customers made a statement.

  According to the Oakland Police Department, these robberies were clearly organized.

The robber knew the working hours and scope of the police.

At present, there are 8 police officers stationed on patrol in Chinatown, and they start to work at 8 am, and some robbers attacked before 8 am.

At the time of the robbery, the police happened to be patrolling the Franklin Street area, and there was no one on Jackson Street, giving the robbers a chance.

  China Promotion Council will set up a non-profit organization as soon as possible to manage the annual real estate appraisal fee of more than 1.2 million within the Chinatown Mutual Benefit Zone.

The funds will be used to alleviate public order and branding issues in Chinatown.

Zhuang Jinzhen said that he hopes to persuade other committee members of the China Council to allocate more than 75,000 US dollars to fund the police to purchase a batch of drones to help arrest suspects of crimes such as robbery.

He personally hopes that this grant will be disbursed by the end of this year as soon as possible.

  Oakland has nearly 22% of its budget (42% of the city's general fund) allocated to the police department every year. Why should China Council for the Promotion of International Finance provide funding?

  Zhuang Jinzhen said that he had served as a councillor of Alameda City and knew about the use of relevant budgets.

The police department’s budget has strict regulations. Some are used to pay wages, and some are used for insurance, police equipment, etc. The Oakland Police Department does not have a separate budget to purchase drones.

If necessary, you need to wait until the next budget year for the city council to approve.

In this way, the time is too long.

At present, the city council has also approved the police to use drones, but it lacks funds.

“Chinatown’s public order is deteriorating. Time is waiting for no one. If China Promotion Council can allocate funds to help, it is incumbent. After the police purchase drones, they can effectively deter criminals and also help arrest suspects, especially robbers who drive robbery.” (Liu Xianjin)
