He claimed that attacks have increased since the George Floyd protests, when activists demanded police funding be cut in light of a slew of brutality cases. He stated:
"I'm not advocating any violence, unnecessary police brutality, but they need to do their job, but then there are not enough police." He continued:
"As soon as (talk of) the defunding started, you could see a direct correlation. You have crime escalating exponentially."

However, The Oaklandside reported that there was a direct correlation between the rising crime rate and the 'zero bail' policy, which was introduced during the covid-19 pandemic. The 'zero bail' policy, introduced to curb crowding inside county jails, essentially meant that one did not have to pay bail to be released for misdemeanors and lower-level felonies.
