		<description>The solution is cops of color in neighborhoods of color, and separation of the races. People of color can&#039;t get justice unless they are policed by people of color, likewise whites should live separately and be policed separately.

Integration is a failure and a mistake, since it largely destroyed African identity and set the stage for the current social disaster. Repatriation to Africa, along with monetary and military aid, would help redress the wrongs of slavery and keep enemy cultures peacefully apart.</description>

		<description>What the hell do you mean you had to protest to get justice?  Mehserle was IN COURT dumbasses.  You think they would have just let Mehserle off the hook?  Dont forget to take your risperidol guys.

If the police were going to execute somebody, why would they do it right in front of dozens of screaming scrutineers with cameras?  Maybe if people werent screaming at the police, maybe if the boys cooperated, maybe if thugs werent circling the police like sharks, trying to intimidate them, Oscar Grant would still be alive.  Try doing your job under that kind of pressure.  I doubt you could make a perfect Big Mac with thugs circling the kitchen like sharks yelling at you.  

Try to put yourself in the cops shoes.  Imagine one hour after you just confiscated two guns off skinheads, you are trying to arrest some white kid who is reaching for his waistband while skin heads start circling you and shouting at you.  Judging by the way you write you would have shot ALL of them and not by accident.

I think a new law should be passed where if you get within 15 feet of a cop trying to make an arrest, you go to jail for obstruction of justice.  Any yelling at police trying to make an arrest and you go to jail for assault on a police officer.  ANY form of resistance should be considered attempted suicide by cop.  Black people (and others) get too wrapped up in their own egoes.  Its not a fucking game - that cop wanted to go home alive after his shift.

At the same time, because its instinct for a right hander to reach for the right side for a weapon, the taser should be on the right and the gun on the left where you have to cross over to get it.  Then again that&#039;s not much good to you if the arrestee pulls a gun.

I also noticed that when the female cop was called over to cuff one of the boys, thats when he stood up, when he saw the female cop coming towards him.  Do I detect a hint of sexism and or racism there?  &quot;Aint no white bitch gonna handcuff this brotha&quot;

Lets try an experiment.  Black people just stop resisting and put your goddam hands behind your back when youre told.  Grow some fucking manners, stop acting like spoiled paranoid brats and we&#039;ll see how many of you get killed or &#039;beaten&#039; then (Zero).  I notice you come up with BS stories about the other police shootings as well.  Its amazing how you twist self-defense into murder.  IT IS NOT MURDER IF SOMEBODY PULLS A WEAPON ON A COP AND TRIES TO KILL THEM.  You really thought you could prove the police are racist with this one, but all you proved is that black people are the racists when it comes to the police.  

The police were racist when black cops dropped 2 white boys in the middle of a dangerous black neighbourhood and the boys were attacked and set on fire by the racist blacks there.  The police were racist when a bipolar white girl was detained for three days without her medication and then released into the projects where she was stripped naked and had to jump out a high rise window to her death to avoid being gang raped by the racist blacks there.

Did Mehserle fuck up? Yes.  But to call this honest mistake a cold blooded racist execution IS racist.  You dont say &quot;oh shit&quot; and put your hands to your face when you just executed somebody in cold blood.  If he had high fived the other officer THEN we could rightly be suspicious.

And do I have to drill it into your thick skulls that when some thug pulls a weapon on a cop and gets shot, that has nothing to do with race, like you seem to think with all the other police shootings.</description>

		<description>Several months after the fact, and I am searching the internet to find some articles on the *mostly* white bloc during these protests to show my friend...

...and I find this. Wow. What a skewed view you have of these past events. You may be a member of the black community, but you certainly aren&#039;t a member of the community that was trashed and looted by white people, &quot;anarchists&quot; and some SERIOUSLY mislead youths of color...it&#039;s pretty easy to tell by your lack of concern for the LOCAL businesses run/owned by PEOPLE OF COLOR that were trashed.
You mention youth of color &quot;standing up&quot; to cops, but at what cost? What does looting little markets owned by Korean immigrants or setting fires to dumpsters near senior citizen homes accomplish? You, and every other person of color who was oblivious to the pointless and potentially *harmful* damage you caused those nights ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Go ahead and praise the youths of color that were there for partaking in the smashing of storefronts - but you sure as hell don&#039;t seem to care about the people of color, ALL AGES, that were effected negatively by their actions.
As a person of color who actually LIVES in a neighborhood that white people and irresponsible individuals like yourself so carelessly trashed in the name of &quot;justice&quot;, I feel nothing but resentment towards everyone who took part in the destruction those evenings and those who are too ignorant to criticize white people&#039;s (and unorganized anarchists in general) ridiculous tactics or too selfish to admit to their wrongdoings. &#039;Justified fury&#039;? Please, more like &#039;useless vandalism&#039;. This &quot;brown person&quot; would LOVE to take leadership from herself, as well - it&#039;s just a shame MY autonomy (as well as other brown peoples&#039;) is effected by destructive rioting. Especially mostly-white rioting.
Good for you if you feel as if white people didn&#039;t, once again, &quot;take over&quot;. You know what, though? They sure as hell dictated the outcome of those evenings, along with everyone else who took part in the unorganized destruction...excuse me, &#039;protest&#039;.</description>

		<description>This is by far the best article I have read on what happened last Wednesday night.  I was there on the streets of Oakland until shortly after Dellums left and this is the most accurate, politically on-point account of what went down.  I look forward to reading your future articles.  La lucha sigue!!!</description>

		<description>It is beyond belief that a potential riot has to be created in order to get justice for a victim&#039;s family. That mayor should shortly be looking for anew job as should the chief of police and the actual police officers involved in this extrajudicial execution. The party who pulled the trigger should be arraigned and prosecuted to the limit of the law like any other evildoer. The US judicial system badly needs a wake up call and the sooner the better.</description>
