OAKLAND, Calif. — A man wanted for violating his parole killed three veteran police officers and gravely wounded another in two shootings Saturday, the first after a routine traffic stop and the second after a massive manhunt ended in gunfire, authorities said. The gunman was also killed.

"It's in these moments that words are extraordinarily inadequate," said Mayor Ron Dellums at a somber news conference announcing the slayings. It was the first time in the history of the Oakland Police Department that three officers were killed in the line of duty in the same day.

"People lingered at the scene of the first shooting. About 20 bystanders taunted police." Fine, I wouldnt ask another cop to patrol that neighborhood, ever. Let street justice prevail and the strongest surrive.

God bless these brave police officers and their families. We appreciate your efforts, dedication and hard work. To the officer hanging on to life, prayers to you and your family.

To the culprit: burn in hell MF.

If they spent their time rounding up illegals and turning them over to immigration instead of making “routine” traffic stops, we would all be safer...

Did the Diverse Obama supporting individual that killed these brave men have a permit for the legally obtained weapon that he used? We all know the answer but the Communist politicians will take it out on the law abiding public.

An excellent question. And may any "journalist" who fails to pose that question to the police, repeatedly until an answer is forthcoming, burn in hell with the perpetrator.

Absolutely. And throw Detroit in there too.

Oakland, Detroit et al = the local level lib labs.

California = the state level lib lab.

You so-called “moderates” & “indpendents” and “fake Democrats” . . . is this really what you want your neighborhoods, schools, communities and states to be?

Since he was on parole, the answer is obvious, as will be the ignoring of the facts. What was he on parole for? Which gang was he a member of? None of that will be discussed, only that an evil gun made him do it. He, and all the Obama supporting individuals that taunted the police can rot in hell.

The Obama administration will be the sad revival of a racial polarization that was nearly dead among thinking people and those are most Americans.

It is vehemently denied but true that Liberals and their followers are the preponderant real racists in America.

Obama is intentionally destroying the fabric of the U.S. to remake us into a nation of serfs.

He is a man of the same mold as Castro, Chavez, and Mugabe. You may expect the very same of him.

Obama is not stupid-—He is evil. He will even destroy those with whom he claims common ancestry to further his tyrannical program.

What did our founding fathers pledge to the cause of liberty?

May God deliver us!
