A proposal to fight crime by Oakland, Calif., police is raising a lot of noise and a satirical response from Babylon Bee \u2013 Fake News You Can Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakland\u2019s Police Department is telling residents<\/a><\/strong> that getting their hands on an air horn is their best defense against out-of-control crime. They\u2019re adding that residents should consider adding bars to their doors and windows. A recent post on X<\/a><\/strong>, formerly known as Twitter, offered a few tips, including, \u201cDo not resist,\u201d and \u201cBe a good witness and pay attention to the description of the individual or vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, \u201cBe a good victim\u201d armed with a really loud air horn. With bars on the residential doors and windows, it also begs the question of who the police are locking up. It\u2019s not the criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
