On this episode of WTF California, we talk briefly about the Minnesota shooting, Oakland sees errors in their ways and now opting to place more money back into its police department after crime skyrockets. Although we have said stop protesting at peoples homes, nice to see other media catching up with us in highlighting how wrong this tactic by protesters has been. This fight against a bill to allow recall targets to see petition names is being overblown—one should be able to meet their accuser when possible. New candidate for Governor emerges in former porn star Mary Carey set to run again. We also get into this San Diego Mayoral plan aimed at the Black Community. Finally, $6 million a day being spent to house unaccompanied migrant children.
