(03-27) 10:51 PDT Oakland, Calif. (AP) --
Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums is attending Friday's funeral for four slain city police officers, but will not be speaking at the request of at least one killed officer's family.
The mayor's spokesman, Paul Rose, said Dellums turned down a police offer to give opening remarks after at least one of the families requested he not be among the dignitaries speaking at the ceremony.
Rose said the mayor did not want to "make an awkward situation even more awkward."

However, many of our negro fellow citizens use that word without restraint, and have told us so.
I don't know which was scarier, the fact that I actually agreed with Willie Brown or the face of that "other person" on the screen with Brown and O'Reilly. I always felt that the loud-mouth organizers were not a problem, but it was the guys like this that sit there, glare a lot and say little who are the REAL problem.
And reading how one of the officer's families asked that "Where's Waldo?" Dellums not speak was a real hoot. Too bad the other moonbats insisted on face time
Dellums was asked not to speak likely because he is of exactly the same mindset as the other Obama supporters who threw a party to honor the killer’s memory.
No, there’s nothing specific to the deceased perp’s race - or to any black person in particular, that justifies epithets like that. Race is irrelevant; let the Left fixate on it! What we see here, with this fellow’s actions and with the support rally in his honor, is the depravity of sinful human nature on full parade.
That’s only if you want to replace morality, logic and common sense with emotional chaos.
River Rat,
Fair enough. Perhaps advising was out of line. I offer my take instead: I find your calm deliberate choice offensive.

Yeah well if they do they are stupid
"Race is irrelevant"!!
Perhaps in your world -- but not in the real world.
Race has already been shown to be the PRIMARY reason more than 90% of a specific race voted for Obama....
Race appears to be the primary focus of more black "churches", black "community organizers" and the Black Congressional Caucus -- which gave us the laws and mismanagement which granted loans to folks who had no hope of repaying them....
Take a close look at EVERY major city or town with a majority black city government and try to tell me race isn't relevant....
Then take a CLOSE look at the hate crimes - including murder, rape and assault being committed by blacks against non blacks and tell me "race isn't relevant"....
Perhaps in YOUR world -- but to miscreants like the serial rapist and cop killer in Oakland -- race was relevant and he was about as perfect an example of the stereotype that brought the N word into use as one could find.... Those of you who are offended by my comments - should be OUTRAGED by the behavior of so many of the black miscreants in our society.....
Offended?
See my post #54....
Your being offended is your problem and of no concern to me...
River Rat,
If my taking offense is of no concern, then....

The crime stats are on your side.
If it looks & quacks like a duck....
Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums is attending Friday’s funeral for four slain city police officers
Who would want to hear the comments of this Communist Scumbag?
looks kinda like like mayor Dellums is leading the charge in this race war , talking "peace" in front of the cameras and inciting riots behind the scenes
I hate to say it but people get the government they deserve, and Oakland is definitely getting their just dessert having elected a useless incompetent commie and black panther like Dellums.
I really feel sorry for the 4 officers and their family. If I was a policeman in Oakland I’d have quit yesterday!
That is all you need to know.
Rodney King.... you better be thankful that all you got was a butt wuppen! You’d probably been better off if they shot you! These people are searching for any reason for their failure, in any society! Well, he got his wish, he didnt have to go back to prison...but to hell he went!
Condemn the marchers? I doubt it. But they’ll rail against lawful gun owners at any opportunity.
That's the first thought that came to mind for me. Sounds like a Freudian slip.
