Only a police officer could say "I mistook my service pistol for a tazer and accident shot a person in he back" And basically be let go. While I don't condone rioting, I can see where peoples anger is coming from here. If he didn't know the difference between a gun and a tazer, seeing how he had extensive training. Lock the fucker up, it's manslaughter. And I love how the police were fearful if he had been found guilty it would raise the stakes for cops who make mistakes.

What he did wasn't a mistake, and if it was the dude was never competent enough to be a police officer in the first place.



yea these are the same people who point out cops panic in stressful situations which is why they miss so much and empty clips in infamous incidents. yet they now suddenly dont' understand this f*ckup.

Would rioting look any different than usual in Oakland after dark?

Im waiting for the riots.

One of the previous Oakland riots had this liveblog going that said:

5:20 p.m. OAKLAND

A protester reportedly attempted to leap from Highway 980 onto a nearby tree, but failed to complete the jump and fell to the ground. He is currently being treated by paramedics.



Im awaiting the stupid Darwin Awards.... Let's do this!!!

I saw this on tonight's news. The CHP is rolling dozens (or more) of extra units to be stationed in the general Bay area where they can be dispatched to S.F., Oaktown, or Haywierd as needed.

I came to ATOT to ask, "Is Oakland going to BURN?"

It's highly likely that there will be trouble...hell, the ghetto rats riot over a win or loss by the fucking Raiders...and most of us remember the riots in L.A. following the Rodney King verdict...

I imagine there will be someone trying to start something. Only question is what Oakland's police is going to do about it.
If they are on high alert to confront and quell, someone is going to get hurt in the beatdown sure to follow.

So for the idiots that live there that might riot.....it's not okay if a police officer who is white makes a fatal mistake, loses his job, etc.....but it's fine if it's gang members and crooks killing each other, as long as they're black, too? Got it.

They should just quarantine the east bay and let the people riot and pillage. Nothing of value will be lost.

And it should prove to be a spectacular show from here in San Francisco.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see some rioting in the Hunter's Point/Bayview district too.

Speaking as one who lived in Los Angeles during the riots in the mid 90s I sincerely hope there are no riots in Oakland. There are good people there just like everywhere else and they will suffer.

You fuckers who wish for riots are complete idiots. Fuck all of you.

Oh, really? So what happened to those thugs that killed the old Asian guy a while back? Do you really know?

No one cares about asians or white people being killed by black people. You have to remember that blacks were slaves a hundred years ago, so they are allowed certain eccentricities such as blatant racist behavior and murder. Everyone knows this.

So far, all of the people that I saw getting arrested are white folks that needed new shoes from Footlocker.

If any of you for once think the rioting is because they want "justice", I have two bridges that I can sell to you. If "justice" = new gears, then yes you're right.

8:40 p.m.

Shoe store being looted, police declare unlawful assembly
Police declare unlawful assembly at 13th and Broadway and are ordering the area cleared. They are going to clear the area with force and are threatening the use of chemical agents.

The Foot Locker on Broadway has had its windows smashed, and looters are pulling shoes, T-shirts and other items from the store. Hangers and shoe boxes are all over the ground at 14th and Broadway. Windows at the Rite-Aid store at 14th and Broadway have been cracked. There is graffiti there that says "off the pigs." and "involuntary property destruction." The Far East National Bank has also had its window

About 100 police officers are coming up Broadway to help quell the situation. Police are donning masks and helmets. Police are putting on tear gas masks under helmets, saying that people who stay are risking serious injuries. People in the crowd are donning tear gas masks.

There is a man on ground with a video camera. Witnesses say at least four police officers swarmed around him and pressed his face to the ground before handcuffing him and dragging him away in front of bus station at 14th street.
There are people out with signs that say "killer cops." Demonstrators are taking cell phone pictures and video.

Police have re-established a skirmish line at 14th and Broadway, as five protesters have lined up and are locking arms as if they're not going to move. Police are redeploying a riot line. Two men who started a game of chess nearly three hours ago are still playing the game in the middle of a crosswalk.

last sentence = lol
