Prepare to sail into uncharted waters. This episode is a remarkable deep dive into the unexpected upsurge of pirate crimes in Oakland, California, following a drastic decision to defund the police. We navigate the murky realities of modern day piracy, as audacious thieves pillage vessels in Oakland's marinas. Hear firsthand stories from local boat owners as they militarize their boats to protect from these sea bandits. 

Our solitary beacon of law enforcement on the water, Officer Khalil Albino, shares his on-the-ground perspective. The sole full-time Marine Officer in Oakland, Khalil is grappling with the harsh realities of budget cuts, as he trains his compatriots to handle the new wave of piracy. We delve into the unique correlation between the state of the city, the Beastie Boys' song "High Plains Drifter" and the city’s resemblance to the Wild West. Hold on for a turbulent ride as we uncover a city besieged by an unlikely foe – pirates.
