Murder is what happened an 3 other officers that were sworn to uphold the law just looked the other way. Is that the system this Mayor is proud of. Why are not all of these men not in jail? Does the Cheif of police condone this kind of action from his officers? Is this the kind of law they have sworn to uphold? Who is responsable for this kind of action from the police force? Is there a proper procedure in the police manual that calls for this type of a responce to a murder? Somebody needs to take responsability for these actions not only murder but the failure to arrest this murderer right after it happened. Why was any of these criminals allowed to leave? The man who fired the fatal shot broke the law and the men who were sworn to uphold the law broke the law by lettig him walk away. As far as the law should see this murder they were all criminals. ( law breakers) Arrest the whole bunch not just this one man let them all know justice will be upheld. Make an example for the rest of the police force to follow. That is if you really want to do what is right and fair. And let them everyone have a day in court by a jury not some plea deal.

The situation is much worse than people think. We have been told that we should expect full on riots LA style not like the small one last night. The entire police dept and sheriff dept is on call. Too many people with guns in Oakland and not enough police. I love my job. We have been told to stay off of blogs reporting on the news. The situation is much worse than people think.

Of course, the bulk of the people of oakland are letting the system work. Hell, the bulk of the people who were at the protest were making a public call for accountability, to push the system to work. Instead, though, everyone is focusing on a few dozen troublemakers who burned a few cars and smashed a few storefronts. We don't paint all sports fans with that brush when they riot and burn and flip cars because their team won (or lost), do we?

Mob rule huh? It seems a certain segment of our society can do no wrong and the cops are never right. The rule of law is no longer the rule. This is what you get with anarchy.Best way to handle anarchists is to crush them like a bug. If the cop was wrong, the system will fuck him properly. Let the system work. You want to burn cars and hurt people, then you deserve nothing but a bullet. Why the hell can’t people just let the system work. Mob rule huh?
