1. Way to go assholes, destroying African American businesses
instead of focusing the demonstration at the BART station where this all went down.

And people wonder why more sympathy isn't generated.

Well this is why.

Assaulting African American businesses in downtown Oakland, and taking out their aggression on Oakland Police Police -- officers who had nothing to do with the despicable shooting of the young man in the back.

It's why the organizer of this protest is quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle as weeping, because a bunch of assholes decided to ruin his message of ire and hope, by destroying black sections of Oakland.

What a bunch of fucking morons.

3. You can always get back property... You cannot replace a LIFE.
The cop who shot this kid IN COLD BLOOD, should be sentenced to the maximum amount allowable by law. Sorry, I don't believe that he pulled out his gun "by accident," when he meant to pull out his taser. This is a load of garbage, they are two different things, they look and feel different. There is no way that anyone could mistake a gun for a taser in their hand, if they had any experience with both. The cop is just plain WRONG, and if it takes violence to get some justice, so be it. WE THE PEOPLE must rise up against the current Police State that is taking over our country. By whatever means necessary.
