‘Black Lives Matter’: March in L.A., Vandalism in Oakland
Breitbart ^ | 8 Jul 2016 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 07/08/2016 1:28:03 PM PDT by detective

"Black Lives Matter” protesters took to the streets across California on Thursday night — as related protests in Dallas turned tragic as snipers shot eleven police officers, killing four. The California protests were rowdy, but not deadly. In Oakland, demonstrators vandalized a police station and snarled traffic. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

About 2,000 angry protestors marched through downtown Oakland, blocking traffic on Interstate 880 and pouring red paint on the front door of an Oakland police station in solidarity with two black men fatally shot by police officers this week in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Cars were backed up for hundreds of yards in both directions on the elevated downtown freeway after hundreds of protestors swarmed up the on-ramps around 8:45 p.m. and began dancing, playing music and spray-painting slogans on the pavement. Other protesters climbed to the top of a semitrailer that was stalled in the huge traffic jam.

Let me guess, if Martin Luther King Jr. were to come back today, he’d probably be regarded as an Uncle Tom by these people?

I think people need to start running them over. They may ave guns and weapons and sitting in your car waiting to be the next Reginald Denny is not how I am leaving this world.

Give them ONE command to disperse...

...and then kill everything that moves.

Oakland is a miserable crime cesspool and is especially hurt by gangs of thugs like this.... because the political hierarchy (mayor, etc.) order the PD to ‘stand down’ or ‘stand aside’ or “do nothing” or whatever... whenever there is an organized attack or mass-scale disruption like this on the good, decent citizens of Oakland and the Bay Area

every criminal and thug in America knows they can go to Oakland and do pretty much any damned thing they wanna... with impunity....and if in a gang, all the cops are allowed to do is stand around watching

while their mayor or other political hacks get on the mass media and lament the awful Amerika where said thugs “have to express their grievances like this”

what utter BS!
and.... well, your personal safety is important so stay the H out of Oakland, whatever you do!

And you wonder why the Chinese who live in Oakland’s Chinatown are seriously looking at moving to safer places. Like for example Fremont, CA, which has seen a huge surge of Chinese moving into the area in recent years.

America no longer has laws. Riots, creating destruction and the “law” allows. What has America become?
