4 cops shot, suspect dead after Calif. traffic stop
Police say suspect behind two separate shootings involving officers
OAKLAND, Calif. - Four officers were in critical condition and a suspect dead on Saturday after gunfire at a traffic stop led to a massive manhunt that ended in a shootout, police said.
Two officers were shot in the first incident just after 1 p.m. after they stopped the suspect's vehicle in east Oakland, said Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason.
The suspect fled the scene on foot into a nearby neighborhood, police said, leading to an intense manhunt by dozens of Oakland police, California Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff deputies.
Streets were roped off and an entire area of east Oakland shut to traffic.

Thanks, was wondering.
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 am done with your nonsense sir! Post all you like, let it be read, your apathy will show.
And yet you're lecturing others on their lack of knowledge regarding Oakland. Okay.
I just flagged it. There was a form to fill out.
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.
I am done with your nonsense sir! Post all you like, let it be read, your apathy will show.
Ron "Commie Red" Dellums was a thorn in the side of military appropriations as a Congressman in the 70s and 80s.
Only ONE!
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.
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).

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).
You are going to have one heck of a hangover, on top of your ZOT.
