They are down the food chain in Oakland after blacks, whites and Asians.

Yep, they may as well rename Winston Little Tijuana. From Asheboro north to Winston they’re taking over the Piedmont.

Mo Wiley, 32, of Oakland, said emotions still are raw from the Grant shooting.

“Oakland is a beautiful place,” Wiley said. “But I just hate when it gets ugly like this.”

Tension between police and the community has risen steadily since the fatal shooting of unarmed 22-year-old Oscar Grant by a transit police officer at an Oakland train station on Jan. 1.

That former Bay Area Rapid Transit officer, Johannes Mehserle, has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday. Violent protests erupted on the streets of Oakland in the weeks after Grant’s death, further inflaming tensions.

On Saturday afternoon, about 20 people taunted police near the scene of the first shooting.

I said I don’t know about the current mayor,

And yet you're lecturing others on their lack of knowledge regarding Oakland. Okay.

Another guy who should have been in prison, serving his full sentence, not out on parole. (But since he also had a warrant out, I suspect he also vioalted that parole).

Some thugs see prison as graduate school.

The only thing people called you out on was making an assumption this was a crime from an illegal alien before you knew any facts in the case an based on absolutely no knowledge of Oakland, CA... people asked you nicely to wait until we knew facts before spewing and you got all pissy instead.

Ron "Commie Red" Dellums was a thorn in the side of military appropriations as a Congressman in the 70s and 80s.

I don’t think this had anything to do with the BART shooting, it’s irresponsible journalism to try and link the two incidents to make excuses for this scumbag.

I have flagged this YouTube video — it’s disgusting. Hopefully YouTube will pull it — if not, we might want to see if StarCMC is interested in running a Special Op — just this once — and get the rest of her team involved.

Yes it is possible , if the perp was a trained shooter. He also likely had a scoped rifle that was properly sighted in from the sound of things. But I am guessing at this point like everyone else.

Inside a building? More likely he had iron sights or some sort of red dot type. Head shots at close range with a rifle is no big deal. The two motor officers were also shot at pretty close range. And those were also head & neck hits according to the guy who gave one of the officers CPR. (Not everyone, or even the majority, even in the most scummy neighborhoods, is a Bad Guy, of course it could have been the pharmacist from the nearby pharmacy, and not a local resident).

Askari X is a rather famous rapper from the Oakland, CA. Bay Area. He made a big bang with his controversial song released while locked up in prison, “Ward of the State.” He leans toward hard, “violent if necessary” black-power messages with Islamic tendencies. He has worked with artists such as Dead Prez and Tajai from the Hieroglyphics.

The fact the ‘suspect’ is now a corpse without a trial among peers does not bother me.

Shouldn't you be concerned about the economy?

I mean, think about all the legal briefs unfiled, the hearings unheard, the trials unheld, and the lawyers in a recession having to seek more productive employment (admittedly an elusive concept, when it comes to the law business).
