F*#K The Police......

What happened in Oakland was a tragedy and I think its more than alright that people out there are rioting. The video shows the man was being detained and there was no need for use of deadly force.

What a lot of people fail to realize are that cops are not special. They are regular humans who despite what most think they aren't that specially trained. I think there should be stronger regulation as to what it takes to become a cop instead of just apply and here's a gun if we think ur mentally stable enough. These people are taking the lives and livelihood of people, families, and communities and are ever only held accountable in a small number of the cases. This shit needs to stop and the only way it will is if people stand up and make some fucking noise so these goons know where there limits stand. I personally have been in handcuffs in the back of a police car more than 5 times in my life, and considering I have never been in trouble with the law, I can fully understand the outrage being expressed by those rioting in Oakland. You can only commit so many injustices against people before they do something drastic enough to garner the necessary attention needed to stop it. Kind of odd how this reminds me of whats going on in Gaza, where people over here don't understand how those people have been oppressed to the point of normal people becoming suicide bombers.
C'est TerriblÉ

Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff said he expected a case to be "totally prepared" in about two weeks.

"I know people are unhappy with that," he said. "I know there's a lot of emotion. I have to sit back and look at this as objectively as I can with all the facts that are available and make the decision — not only whether or not he should be charged, but what offense he should he charged with ... and it's not as simple as most people think."

He said the former BART officer involved in the shooting, Johannes Mehserle, who resigned Wednesday, has, through his attorney, refused to be interviewed by Orloff's office.

At least 105 people were arrested for a variety of offenses Wednesday night. Police said charges for those arrested included assault on a police officer, looting, vandalism and arson. Some of those detained were found to have drugs, which added another count to the charges.

Angry about the New Year's Day shooting by a BART police officer, protesters smashed businesses and set fires in downtown Oakland, and confronted Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums on the steps of city hall.

Oakland police beefed up their prescence on the streets Thursday morning, with officers in riot gear patrolling the streets as they anticipated more protests. Businesses downtown were cleaning up, dealing with the aftermath of smashed windows and cars.

I'm pretty sure when a police officer kills a kid then resigns and refuses to answer any questions from the District Attorney that he SHOULD be charged and SHOULD be charged with murder.



Video of the KILLER Johannes Mehserle take notice of the victims best friends sitting beside his friend as the cop shot him. There really don't seem to be signs that the victim and his friend were resisting or any of the other bullshit reasons these fuckers are sure to come up with. smh
