Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is accused of manipulating crime statistics to make it look like there is a decline in the city.
Oakland's total crime for the first four months of 2024 seemed to drop 33% compared to early 2023.
The comparison was misleading, comparing different types of data.
Data from Oakland Police Department updates isn't manipulated but is presented in a way that can mislead, despite a fine-print disclaimer.
The difference is due to the time lag in processing and compiling crime reports compared to when they actually happened.
