Toread that a fellow postal carrier was shot doing his job is sickening enough. To also read that robbery was the intent, is at times not hard to believe. With the ages described in the article that I read, this sounds like werte the motive for the shooting. I do hope that the Postal Inspection Service together with the Oakland Police Department, catch these thieves before they strike again,only the next time, someone may lose their life or lives. Please get these BASTARDS off the street and the sooner the better,
THE LUMP LUMP

Face it. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service cares nothing about the safety of postal employees and is only concerned with high-profile cases which garner media coverage. A carrier getting robbed and beaten or a clerk being threatened and assaulted is not the type of crime that gets inspector's noticed. Every day, carriers are victimized on the streets of the U.S., while they steadily slash postal police jobs--replacing them with unarmed contract guards (who care even less about employees than the inspectors).

See, the day after I posted the message above, an Oakland, CA carrier was shot in a robbery. Where were the inspectors? Why are they slashing postal police jobs? I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense. The inspectors are only there to be reactive and investigate after carriers and clerks have been victimized, which does NOTHING for the victim. Postal police are proactive, visible and in uniform, and should be patrolling high risk carrier routes AS A DETERRENT! NALC and APWU should be demanding adequate postal police resources to protect their members, especially in known, high-risk areas.
