Pamela Price, the George Soros-backed Alameda County District Attorney (DA), had her laptop stolen during a car burglary outside an Oakland family justice center on Friday. The Oakland Police Department (OPD) confirmed that “multiple individuals” broke into Price’s $90,000 SUV by smashing a window shortly after her bodyguard parked the vehicle outside the justice center. Several items were stolen in the raid. Price was then forced to wait roughly an hour for police to arrive before giving up and registering the incident online, reports suggest.
Price, who accepted a $130,000 donation from Soros in her failed attempt to become DA in 2018, promised to offer so-called “justice transformation” to her county’s residents before being elected DA in 2022.
She has since faced relentless criticism for her soft-on-crime policies, which have caused crime in her jurisdiction to skyrocket over recent months. In 2023, all violent crime has increased by 21 percent in Alameda County compared to last year, with motor vehicle theft increasing by 51 percent, burglary by 39 percent, armed robbery by 38 percent, and shootings by six percent.
Tensions between residents and Price reached breaking point during a community meeting earlier this year in which she was condemned for her “failed leadership” as well as “unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes.”
Price is the second Soros-backed DA to experience the effects of their own soft-on-crime policies after Louisiana District DA Jason Williams was carjacked earlier this month.
