An Uptown Oakland Axe-Wielding Black Man With Mental Issues Life Was Saved By Not Calling OPD
A man on NextDoor deserves a medal for what he did. Read what he posted:
This guy needs some care.
So I heard a window of my lovely neighbor’s car on our 18th St block being smashed about 2pm yesterday and, not too sure what to do, ran down with my phone and went after him round the corner. I spoke to him crossing the road and asked why he did that and the owner was a really nice guy but he wasn’t interested in conversation. He waved his axe and walked off. Not sure what to do after discussing with my wife I called OPD because of the axe wielding but we both wished there was a different number to call. I learned there was nothing taken from my friend’s car and he had smashed another neighbor’s windscreen without robbing anything so clearly the guy is having significant issues. I feel I could have offered more care to him… not sure how… looking for tips. I have little faith that OPD would provide him the care and support I feel he needs and would love to know of more neighborhood-centered models for dealing with people like this chap.
Wow. Again, thanks to that Oakland resident in the Uptown for his heroic no call decision. It is sad that we don’t yet have a known alternative number to call. But if I am wrong please inform me. I will vlog it.
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media’s Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
