TV Crews Robbed in Oakland CA




Widespread: All the major San Francisco news stations have seen news crews robbed since March.


[From article]
Last November, a KPIX cameraman in Oakland was robbed in front of a high school by a group of attackers in broad daylight while filming a live shot. Viewers saw the image wobble and then shut off.
In recent months, some journalists have even refused assignments in Oakland late at night.
