Police descend upon Oakland bakery {Your Black Muslim Bakery}

OAKLAND -- There is a massive police presence at this hour in front of the Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland.

Television stations KPIX and KTVU report that Oakland and Fremont police are on the scene as well as S.W.A.T team negotiators and various high-ranking police officials.

The incident is happening along San Pablo Avenue in Oakland. A command center has been set up in Emeryville, but there are few other details at this hour.

The late Yusuf Bey was the founder of Your Black Muslim Bakery, famed for its bean and carrot pies and known as having an open door to struggling families.

Bey's reputation took a hit in later years as he defended himself against rape allegations in Alameda County.

Most of those charges were later dropped, and one was pending when he died.

Yeah, that’s the real name. I always figured that I would never really be welcome in there.

Not mentioned here, but included in broadcast reports is the connection to the assassination of the Oakland Post's Chauncey Bailey, yesterday.

A place called "Your Black Muslim Bakery" is connected to a murder? Whoda thunk it???

Are you kidding? It just means that the liberals need to try harder to make them their friends.

I will buy bread there when there is a White Christian Bakery down the street.
Until that time, I will not shop at places with racist names.

Thanks for the picture!

Hmm, looks like they sure gave Bailey a “taste of the hereafter”.

Amen to that.

My last post might have come across as a bit callous about this man's fate, for which I apologise. But just damn, that sign on the store comes across in a very sinister way.

I saw your post and after reading it twice, considered that you meant to sarcastically shed light on the anti-freedom, anti-life collective. No apologies necessary.
