And just so I know where is the riot at every friday and saturday?

answer the question if you think its funny? your black i can tell from your response am i right? correct me if im wrong? nothing wrong with being proud of your race but wtf is a matter with these people rioting and protesting with non educated facts? a little boy is gone and why dint oakland riot his black parents? why dint oaklnd riot the black shooter of the white cops? [Confused]
First off i think its fucked up what happened to the 4 cops in oakland, I don't think no one should be rioting when the verdict comes down. but here's the difference, police know what the risks are when they sign up for the job, the police are there to protect and serve the public, not shoot someone in there back who is unarmed, drunk on new years doing what the police tell you to do, and that is if your going to drink take bart, yea was oscar grant probably a little out of hand that night(maybe) but then as a police do your job and take him to jail, not shoot him in his back. And the when the guy shot the cops they made sure he was going to die, a cop shot oscar grant and he's about to get nothing or a slap on the wrist.

So sick and tired of these stupid topics which always turn into race issues. It will never, ever die! It's not allowed to and will always be here to stay. This is why people form there own little communities around the bay area because it's human nature to be with people of the same ethnicity and culture. Fact. People are to afraid to offend or say something which may be taken out of context.

Underneath it all, this trial is all about race which is bullshit. Race should never be brought up in this trial but that will never happen. It's a trial about bad judgement.

I got pulled the race card in high school when someone stole my wallet back in the day. I will never forget it because he said the only reason why I am accusing him was because he was black. Not because he was the nearest person to my backpack and because he was a piece of shit. Sure enough it was right in his front pocket but I was more pissed about the race card he pulled than my wallet with only $10.00 in it. He made sure to yell the part about me accusing him because he was black.

This is a pointless ramble because there is always an argument to everything. But you can't exclude the obvious which is human nature and cultural differences which is not going anywhere. So make the best of it and have a good 4th of July and try to treat everyone like you want to be treated.That alone will help and make you feel better about yourself and hopefully others. Now go take a drive in your mustang [patriot]

Or we should just bring a topic like this up at a cruise and have a conversation about it and i bet everyone would be more respectful and open minded instead of saying harsh and racist shit behind a computer screen.

I dont think he was talking directly to you. Would you really offer up your disdain for Oakland residents directly to a group of Oakland residents? You are a bad man if so. And I'd pay to see it...lol.

Ya'll have a good night and let the hate go. It is not a good look for anyone.

your not understanding my point n8, a group of oakland residents? i have no worries about that because im never in the war zone, and if i was asked directly about it from one resident, id let em know how i feel. i know im white and all but some of us can handle our own.

Your responses sound more and more dumb as time goes by. Don't attempt to impersonate in a disrespectful manner. Doesn't matter if you think the shit is funny, it just makes you sound even more ignorant than the people you are trying to imitate. You keep speaking about how hard of a white dude you are but when you found someone who was ready to fight, you suggested sparring???? When someone talks shit online, sometime you might actually find a person who might take it a bit more serious than you would want to take it. It's not just you, theres others on here who talk shit just the same, calls names and shit, feeling safe behind a screen. I'm speaking about this from an outside prespective.

What would have been the outcome if mesherle was Mexican or black? None of this would been have brought up. Like said before it's a race issue not bad judgement. Cops kill innocent people all the time alm across the us.

Better yet, what if Grant was White? We wouldn't even be talking about it. I'm willing to bet that more cops are gunned down than civilians per year across the country. Mistakes & accidents happen, and that's just the way it is. Everybody can keep on debating their side and argue till they are blue in the face, but for what? 1 side will never convince the other side that they are right and vise verse. You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink. Everybody forgets what's important we "Americans" are some of the luckiest people in the world. People want to keep crying about injustice and fairness. If you don't like it leave. [patriot]

more cops killed then civilians every year...thousands of civs are killed every year vs a hand full of officers coast to coast actually. Yes we Americans are some of the luckiest people in the world, being allowed to bitch about whatever you want IS a freedom of being an American. As an American YOU ME or ANYBODY should never take injustice and like it, maybe thats what you were taught but not me.

Didnt this country start because of an unjust government? Didn't the war start by white people rioting? Riots are the means of expressions for those people who feel like theres no other way to be heard. Riots are a negative no matter which way you look at things but sometimes they do accomplish things, the United States

Are those the same people stealing tv's you see on tv during the riot. They want to be heard. What exactly are they expressing? I am sure that is the case for some but a lot are using it for there advantage.

Really how many people are killed by Cops a year? 133 cops were killed in 2008 & 125 in 2009. I highly doubt that there was more civilians killed by cops than this. At least innocent 1's that were killed. I mean if you are armed and you get killed by a cop is that the same as shooting a cop in cold blood? Anyways we can go on and on. I see that you are from Oakland so I wouldn't expect your response to be any different. no disrespect or knock to you. We are all products of our environments. I do agree with you that we can't let injustice go on without notice, but there is a civil way to handle just about any situation. Retaliation, riots & random act's of violence is just ignorant and will only back their cause and hurt yours. To anybody that lives in Oakland, I hope that no harm comes to you or your family and or property, I really do. Anybody out in the streets acting a fool, you will be handled accordingly.

BTW - the last time people rioted in Oakland my friends car got stomped on by 6 - 10 black guys while she watched from the 3rd floor. She is a single black mother trying to make it in these hard times, they caused over 5K in damage. WTF? How does this help the community and it's people? Protest and freedom of speech is the answer, not acting like a animal.

Everybody be safe out there.

Peace

I agree some are stealing because people are rioting but alot of people who are angry are expressing their built up rage as well. I wish our judicial system wasn't broken and justice could be sought in court not in the streets

Rioting in the 60's in Oakland was a very integral part of the civil rights movement. And we are not that far removed from it. Like I said earlier Oakland is a powder keg waiting to blow. It is largely in part to the remnants of racial injustices that were part of a era that we arent but barely one generation removed from. From inside your bubble things may have seemed to progress faster than they really have. But in all honesty they have not. So because you do not understand something, should not signal your judge reflex. I sympathize with folks in that area or that circumstance because I an not far removed from impoverished surroundings. So I know how oppressive that situation can be. So while I do not look forward to it. And it is sad if it goes down. But I can lightweight understand the mentality that goes into this type of situation. And it is not misplaced as some think it is.

I also admit I am suffering from the bubble mentality. I moved away, stopped mentoring and coaching midnight league. And is that disconnect that put me in a bubble mentality.

Better yet, what if Grant was White? We wouldn't even be talking about it. I'm willing to bet that more cops are gunned down than civilians per year across the country. Mistakes & accidents happen, and that's just the way it is. Everybody can keep on debating their side and argue till they are blue in the face, but for what? 1 side will never convince the other side that they are right and vise verse. You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink. Everybody forgets what's important we "Americans" are some of the luckiest people in the world. People want to keep crying about injustice and fairness. If you don't like it leave. [patriot]
more cops killed then civilians every year...thousands of civs are killed every year vs a hand full of officers coast to coast actually. Yes we Americans are some of the luckiest people in the world, being allowed to bitch about whatever you want IS a freedom of being an American. As an American YOU ME or ANYBODY should never take injustice and like it, maybe thats what you were taught but not me.
Really how many people are killed by Cops a year? 133 cops were killed in 2008 & 125 in 2009. I highly doubt that there was more civilians killed by cops than this. At least innocent 1's that were killed. I mean if you are armed and you get killed by a cop is that the same as shooting a cop in cold blood? Anyways we can go on and on. I see that you are from Oakland so I wouldn't expect your response to be any different. no disrespect or knock to you. We are all products of our environments. I do agree with you that we can't let injustice go on without notice, but there is a civil way to handle just about any situation. Retaliation, riots & random act's of violence is just ignorant and will only back their cause and hurt yours. To anybody that lives in Oakland, I hope that no harm comes to you or your family and or property, I really do. Anybody out in the streets acting a fool, you will be handled accordingly.

BTW - the last time people rioted in Oakland my friends car got stomped on by 6 - 10 black guys while she watched from the 3rd floor. She is a single black mother trying to make it in these hard times, they caused over 5K in damage. WTF? How does this help the community and it's people? Protest and freedom of speech is the answer, not acting like a animal.

Everybody be safe out there.

Peace

Wow, thats one ignorant ass thing to say. being from Oakland makes me violent? I never condone any violence/rioting. I just said NOT to tolerate injustice. let me guess I'm from Oakland I must be black, rite? [Roll Eyes] .....im not, do you feel better or safer now [Wink]
your friends car being smashed by those retards is fucked up....but that has nothing to do with me or anybody on this board (I hope not.

anyways good luck with your fears of Oakland .........from Union City [Wink]

We all know that in this case the only reason riots are going to happen is because of a bunch of stupid people who think its going to be fun to burn oakland and cause more injury to people who have NOTHING to do with this. This is all about RACE wich is sad. You wont see a bunch of white people burning shit up if he is found guilty do you? You didnt see people burning oakland down when the 4 cops were shot and killed. All you people saying racism, why dont you tell the people of your race to stop setting a bad example for the rest of the race. Steriotyping is a bitch but until people prove otherwise the inoscent will suffer until the majority pull their head out of their ass's. The only way people will get past race is when people stop trying to use the race card about everything.
