INVESTIGATION. ALSO THIS WEEK, A MASS SHOOTING AFTER AN ILLEGAL SIDESHOW INTERRUPTED A JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AND THE PUSH TO RECALL THE MAYOR MADE THE BALLOT. ABC7 NEWS REPORTER J-R STONE HAS NEW REACTION FROM THE COMMUNITY CONCERNED WITH THE MAYOR'S SILENCE AND SAFETY IN THE CITY, WHERE SHE DOWN WHERE SHE TOWN. >> VOICES DIRECTED AT OAKLAND MAYOR SHENGTAO APPEAR TO BE GETTING LOUDER. THE MAYOR HAS NOT SPOKEN PUBLICLY SINCE THE FBI RAIDED HER HOME LAST THURSDAY. IN WHAT SOURCES SAY IS A PUBLIC CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION. SHE ALSO HASN'T SPOKEN SINCE AT LEAST 15 PEOPLE WERE SHOT LAST WEDNESDAY NEAR LAKE MERRITT. >> SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE OUR LEADER. SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW. WHAT. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS. SHE DIDN'T EVEN COME AND APOLOGIZE TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR CITY. THESE PEOPLE THAT GOT SHOT, LIKE SHE DIDN'T EVEN COME AND SAY, WE HOPE YOU ALL GET BETTER. >> IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE TWO DOZEN OR SO PEOPLE WHO MET OUTSIDE OF OAKLAND CITY HALL SUNDAY NIGHT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN VOCAL IN THEIR SUPPORT TO RECALL MAYOR SHENGTAO. IN FACT, LAST WEEK, THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NOW ENOUGH SIGNATURES MORE THAN 40,000 TO ALLOW THE MEASURE ON THE BALLOT. THOSE HERE, THOUGH, SAY THE CONCERN AT THIS EXACT MOMENT IS NOT THE RECALL BUT THE CITY BUDGET THAT WILL SOON NEED TO BE PASSED. >> THIS BUDGET RIGHT NOW, IF THEY PASS, IT WILL BANKRUPT THE CITY. >> WE REACHED OUT TO MAYOR SHENG TAO'S OFFICE TO GET HER TAKE ON THAT. BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. OFFICIALS DO CONFIRM THAT PUBLIC SAFETY JOBS WILL TAKE A HIT AFTER 15 PEOPLE WERE SHOT AT LAKE MERRITT THIS WEEK. >> AFTER THAT, SHENGTAO AND NIKKI BASS WANT TO CUT 172. PERSONNEL OUT OF OUR PUBLIC SAFETY. THE CITY OF OAKLAND CANNOT TAKE THAT. >> THAT NUMBER COMES FROM A DATABASE SITE CALLED OAKLAND REPORT. THE OAKLAND POLICE OFFICER ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT CONFIRMS THAT THE NEW BUDGET WILL FREEZE AND ELIMINATE 34 POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS, DROPPING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF OFFICERS TO 678. THE POA PRESIDENT SAYS 91 OFFICER POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FROZEN AND ELIMINATED IN OAKLAND IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE. >> WE EXPECT HER TO BE HERE WHEN THERE ARE 15 PEOPLE GETTING SHOT AND STABBED A FEW DAYS AGO, AND THE MAYOR IS ABSENT, OUR CITY IS DESTROYED. >> I'M 63, I'M 63 YEARS OLD. YOU GUYS, I'M NOT EVER
