Default Retired Berkeley cop shot in Oakland . . .

California news crew’s camera stolen, guard shot('teachers' strike coverage)
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Authorities arrested a man suspected of shooting the security guard of a news crew that was robbed while covering the Oakland teachers strike, according to a statement by the CBS affiliate.

KPIX said a reporter and a photographer were gathering interviews Sunday about the strike at the Oakland Library when a car pulled up and the driver pulled a gun, demanding their camera. The crew surrendered the equipment and began walking away.
The suspect then shot the guard, Matt Meredith, in the leg, the news station said. KPIX reporter Joe Vazquez said on Twitter that the guard, a retired Berkeley police officer, exchanged gunfire.
An Alameda County Sheriff spokesman says a 21-year-old man with several gunshot wounds walked into a nearby hospital after the incident. Oakland police arrested the man on suspicion of shooting the news crew’s guard.

A couple years ago I was offered a side gig doing news crew security work over there. Apparently it's pretty common for them to get ripped off. I hope Matt makes a full recovery, and the dirtbag doesn't.

Glad he survived. My son got robbed in Oakland once, too.

What a pit of a city it is.
