Today is yet another day that I can spend thanking God for getting me out of that stinking hell-hole of Oakland. (While I’m still within a hundred miles, that should be far enough to be pretty sure I’ll be OK.)

You’re gracious.

But I’m less interested in winning a point than I am in ensuring that the whole story is out there.

One of the hallmarks of the left is their persistence in fronting only those facts that make them look like they’re right.

As Conservatives, we cannot go there; we simply MUST put ALL of the facts on the table, call things what they are, and — in so doing — PROVE that WE are the ones who are unafraid of the Truth. ANY time it can be shown that someone claiming ties to Conservatism has been less than absolutely truthful it damages the Conservative cause as a whole.

Examples of the left doing that are myriad; so much so that we now expect nothing more of them than to omit salient facts to their benefit.

Conservatives just cannot — and must not — do likewise.

I like the tagline being used by San Francisco’s 560 KSFO: “Honest and unafraid...” THAT is what Conservatives must be, and without exception; there is simply TOO much at stake.

And during his incarceration, for that matter. I just don’t know what it’s called in prison.

The country has a history of young black men being murdered by Southern white racists who were Democrats.

Long ago I saw my first taser with a pistol grip, and back then I thought something was seriously wrong with that picture. This incident showed me what was wrong.

2:20 p.m: Some downtown Oakland streets closed as police prepare for briefing, people speaking at City Hall

Police Chief Anthony Batts, City Administrator Dan Lindheim and Mayor Ron Dellums are preparing to speak to the media at 2:30 p.m. at the Emergency Operations Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Police have closed eastbound 17th Street at Castro Street. Both directions of Martin Luther King Jr. between 16th and 17th streets are closed. Albany and Emeryville police are manning the traffic posts. At City Hall, a few hundred people are gathered listening to speeches. One man who spoke said, "It's a pattern. Why are all the people who get killed this way African Americans? White life is worth more than black life. We can sugarcoat it, we can pretend the election of Barack Obama solves all our problems, but I, as a black man, can be shot face down with impunity." At the podium, a woman said, "We must take the power for ourselves, don't rely on the police, they've been killing us on the streets, black and brown, but keep your poise, make sure the truth gets out."

“Long ago I saw my first taser with a pistol grip, and back then I thought something was seriously wrong with that picture. This incident showed me what was wrong.”

Viewer discretion advised, but here is cell phone footage of the shooting. The shot is fired at 1:26. It is chilling.
