What’s going on?
Minor looting and rock throwing right now. Cops putting on Gas mask and there was just a call out for cops on scene for a bus to transpost prisoners.
But why?
Zombie outbreak?
1. Foot locker (shoestore) broken into
2. Bank broken into, being looted
3. Police nearby but not arresting them
KRON says Foot Locker looted, windows broken in Far East National Bank and people are going inside, police looking on but not intervening. Not enough police to go around?
Pray for Urban Renewall.
I know I should click on the livestream but my laptop’s running a little funky right now and I’m afraid it will drag it down.
What sparked this?
Money is locked in the vault, nothing to loot.
Why would a business or a bank locate is a toilet like Oakland?
Oh well. Tough luck for them. No sympathy here.
Light sentence on cop that killed suspect who was handcuffed.
Never let a guilty verdict stand between an Oakland Bruthah and his free flat panel TV.
Oakland PD’s strategy appears for now 2b 2 focus on main rioter group, ignore “break off groups”.
Newscasters incredulous at this, a little outraged.
Reporter alleges little drinking going on among crowd, have smelled some marijuana though, they state.
14th & Broadway is main area of concern, they say. Crowd chanting loudly, holding signs.
They think they found Obama’s stash
Dusk just setting in. Cops are out in full force and every business is closed. Even in SF people cut out early to get home.
Thanks for the info. Hope it doesn’t turn into another Rodney King riot.
My son read on the web that an anarchist group was planning to appear at 6 PM.
Many banks have off site video recording in their branches. No way to take the tape with them like in the past.
