Oakland
 

Crazy.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the fine citizens of a portion of what we call "the east bay" here in northern California. These are the same wonderful people that protest and riot when a former transit cop is found guilty of accidentally killing another fine citizen (who was recently released from jail and has countless arrests for felonious behavior) yet they don't seem to have a problem when they hurt, main and kill their own.

Lots of fun people in Oakland... Don't get lost there after dark.

If you're referring to the cop killing that kid because he "mistook his tazer for his gun," kindly GTFOHWTBS. Oakland may be filled with morons, but that cop deserves the goddamn chair and he got off with involuntary manslaughter. I'd riot too.

You've got to at least give Oakland some credit ... it's the backdrop for YouTube Video of the Year prohibitive favorite.

Dude this **** is crazy.

Yeah - I almost gave up on the video in the first minute just thinking it was nothing more than pregnant ho's brawling ... that was just the warm up for some real disturbing gold.

The guy BLASTED her. She got right up though, hardcore.

seriously? Have you ever been a young cop surrounded by a bunch of crazy people screaming things at you where you're completely stressed out and you forgot what you did five minutes ago? I have. I was a cop in Central Los Angeles and San Jose. I never killed anyone but I easily could have, accidentally. The BART cop pulled his trigger once, that tells me he didn't think he had his firearm in his hand - ALL cops will tap twice or more when they shoot, that's more than training, you do that without even thinking. It's obvious he didn't mean to fire a round into the guys back, look at his reaction, he knew when he heard the pop that he made a mistake. It was an ACCIDENT. The BART cop just made a really huge life altering mistake.

Rioting isn't the proper response to this. Teaching your children to resect others, not just cops but everyone, is the correct response.

How retarded of a cop do you have to be to mistake a tazer for a gun? For that to happen, you have to 1.) F ucking forget which holster is which, 2.) Forget the ways a gun feels differently from a tazer and 3.) Forget that you're not supposed to use either on a dude who's lying motherf ucking PRONE on the ground in handcuffs. I saw the video, the guy he shot was lying face down, completely subdued. And there wasn't exactly much surprise/remorse shown by the cops after the shot was fired. They kept going about their business. People were yelling at him? He was stressed, you say??? OH NOES, YOU'D BETTER SHOOT THE GUY WHO'S ALREADY IN CUFFS AND ON THE GROUND. That'll fix things.

Cops all over the country get away with bullshit like this and never get punished because the apologists always pull out the "HAVE YOU BEEN IN THAT SITUATION?!" defense. Either that or they blame the victim. Neither is a justification for the gross misconduct that continues to go on with these idiots killing/injuring defenseless people.

You and I will not agree on this so I'm not going to waste my time trying to point out all the reasons why it doesn't make sense that a cop would purposefully kill someone in this situation. Either way you look at it, this was a very unfortunate situation.

The dude that punches that woman needs to be arrested. Just sickening.

Whoa.....they have $3.99 Whoppers?

All that going on really can't be that good for buisness.

It is the home of the great MC Hammer

I think those are the new overpriced angus burgers they are selling.

Don't waste your $$. Their disgusting.

Yep. I had a buy one get one free coupon ... even for $2 a pop they are no great bargain.

have you had the double down yet Doug?

No. If I'm in the mood for chicken - I'm going to Chick Fillet.
