Man I hope they are okay. sad business....sorry to hear that. Man Oakland is a boiling pot of emotions right now. There has been talks for years of a sort of civil war in Oakland. I pray for that city in general. This is going to spill over onto the streets.

N8, not sure what you mean by this as a suspect shot 4 cops and was later killed. What's supposed to spill over onto the streets?
I agree that if the Police use excessive force unlawfully, there is risk of a violent uproar from citizens of the city. It does not seem like this was the case here, but of course the story is only now developing.
I am anxious to hear the conclusions of this story. [ March 21, 2009, 09:35 PM: Message edited by: Luke87GT ]

Lets see what develops.
no, dont mistake my words, this is senseless violence and a tragedy. There is no conspiracy theory here. But there is always the overtone of an "eye for an eye" when things happen on either side of the law fence in Oakland.

I certainly agree with you there...
My heart also goes out to the police officers and their families. Based on what I am seeing on TV, it looks like these 4 officers have a lot of support behind them.

The radio reported all four died but the news on tv has not said. We have not talked to her brother yet but from what I've heard it's not looking good for them. If anyone thinks that the " tragic accidental shooting" of oscar grant gives the right to kill a cop is dead wrong. I swear to god if I'm out and I hear someone say the cops had it comming I hope that I can hold myself together.

I hope they make it. Just saw some raw footage on CBS I saw here brother getting back in the armored car with a parametic and they drove the officer to the hospital. This will be a sad day that will not be forgotten. I hope they were not all killed

God bless my family when I am away, Leave the lights on I'll return from harms way,
Grant me courage and strength to protect others each day, So they live in peace without worry, fear or dismay,
Bless those who have fallen given their life for another May their spirit live on from then and forever,
Return me home to my family at the end of each night, May I pass through the door before the morning's first light,
Shall I give my life for another before the dawn breaks today, God bless my family when I am away.

I wish they would have waited to gain entry...... If they would have gassed the room first to try to flush him out.... Those guys lives may have been save. ( the swat officers)But what do know I'm no a Leo. Just my opinion.
