Cop Accused of Shooting Handcuffed Man Quits

January 9th, 2009

Oakland Riots

 

Cop accused of shooting handcuffed man quits. Hundreds of Oakland businesses are still cleaning up damage to buildings after a violent downtown protest. In a scene resembling the Los Angeles uprisings after 1992’s Rodney King beating trial verdict, about 100 people were arrested after breaking windows and trashing stores days after a 22-year-old Black man’s death. But as others had done in L.A., some of those vandalizing in outrage over the police shooting of Oscar Grant III left Black-owned establishments damaged, knowingly or otherwise. Read the rest here.

SOME GOVERNMENTS NEVER LEARN FROM OTHER GOVERNMENTS MISTAKES TERRORIST AND VIGILANTES MONITOR COMMUNITIES THAT GOVERNMENTS GIVE THE MOST PROBLEMS TO .THEY THEN GO INTO THOSE COMMUNITIES AND RECRUIT THE MOST REBELLIOUS VICTIMS , TO CARRY OUT ACTS OF REVENGE NOT ONLY FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO FOR THE TERRORIST. THIS GOVERNMENT IS BUILDING AN ARMY AGAINST IT SELF BY NOT BRINGING JUST TO AND FOR..” CERTAIN COMMUNITIES”. SOON THE FRUIT OF THESE ACTS OF VIOLENCE TOWARD ..”CERTAIN COMMUNITIES”.. AND.” CULTURES”..WILL HARVEST !!

R.I.P. Grant. Such a tragedy indeed but we must be cautious of our actions and make sure the right people suffers consequences for this injustice b/c destroying black owned establishments would hurt no one but ourselves and the next family. Let’s redirect our anger and channel it in another manner.

I am an from Oakland…now living in VA. There has been trouble in this town for decades! I am not saying that the police was correct in shooting the young man, but had he been on his best behavior while riding B.A.R.T (Bay Area Rapid Transit) there would have been no taser, pepper spray, or shooting. We as “AMERICANS” not Blacks, need to act respectfully at all times.
