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.

If you are called to jury duty in Oakland, and the case is typically some small fish in the drug trade, the judge (yes, the judge himself!) will usually ask you if you’ve ever been to the East Oakland neighbourhood, or driven through it and if you think that would affect your judgment about the defendant’s guilt (now you know how to weasel out of jury duty.)

I know that area well. It is not safe to drive some of those city streets, especially if driving while white.

We have areas like that too in our city.

As a hospice volunteer I have had to call the police for an escort to visit a patient because they told me I'm not ‘allowed’ to drive there by myself!

Not only that, the dying patients family members were stealing their medication! I was so po’d!

Some people are just animals and there is no amount of money or education that is going to change it.

...but when will we at least eliminate the element that is not lawfully here?
~~~
If it ain’t MS-13 or some other trash from south of the

border it’s the DOPE they carry to the trash north of the

border that got those guys killed!!!

That whole border is a war-zone,,,

If the border is not sealed we can look for more of this...

Speaking as a native born and raised (been in Vegas 8 years now) it's a damn shame. The libs screwed up a beautiful, productive state. Of course they are doing the same thing to the country, but that's another thread.

Prayers for the officers and their families.

Dense materials don’t burn easy? Or is it a case of “no sense no feeling?”

Oakland has been a hell-hole for a long time... very long time... and not because of the border. We should wait for more information instead of speculating.

Do YOU care when you mow down a killer? Not dense in the head. Is that your implication?

I am reading on other forums that the perp was 16 y/o. Can’t confirm yet but source is reliable.
