Oh shut up. I didn't insult your family you queen.

That's a joke about men who prematurely ejaculate spurt, think of baseball scores or your mom. Only a fucking idiot like you would claim that was "bringing your family into it" you great, big, flaming poufster.

That's funny I was going to work in a dig about his biking habits but I opted for the simpler "Fuck you" instead.
 
If the death of a young black man is such an appalling event, and one that requires an immediate - and apparently visceral - response, where were the Berkeley revolutionaries and the San Francisco activists when 124 people, the vast majority of them young black men, were gunned down on the streets of Oakland last year? What about the 127 homicides in the city in 2007? What about a botched robbery in which a 10-year-old boy was paralyzed from the waist down, most likely for the rest of his life, while taking a piano lesson?

Apparently, the scores of young black men murdered in Oakland year after year - most often by other black men - does not warrant the same level of outrage as one black man shot by a law enforcement officer.

Superfreak thinks he's so perfect, with his Kashi cereal and his bike-riding. He probably bakes his hash brownies with skim milk. Jesus Christ what a killjoy.

nah... no Kashi... I stick with oatmeal in the mornings.... I don't make the brownies... I just eat them. The girls do the baking.

He's hysterical. I'd last two days with him. I could just see being in his place and going to light a joint, and him freaking out about smoke getting on his curtains. "You can't smoke in here! Here, you can have some pot that I baked into these no-fat brownies"

Cawacko you and your friends look stupid on this thread, and the fact that you could come along and actually speak as if Yurt is anything other than a peestain on this board, and his yelling of "what about black crime?" is anything other than the usual racist asshole diverision, doesn't make me look stupid.

Actually he made a very valid point that you failed to address. You only followed up with an ad hominen attack. Points Carwacko. Lame debating skills Darla.

A murderer is a murderer, whether they wear a uniform or not. While it is more 'shocking' to see a murder by a cop as it is more unexpected than if done by a 'criminal' it is still murder.... and the outrage should flow either way.

No it's not. There is a distinct difference here. Officers of the law are and should be held to a higher standard then the general public as they represent the rule of law. That is what makes this a distinct and emotional issue. Violence in general is bad enough but when an individuals human rights is so blatantly violated by an officer representing the State then a extraordinary principle has been broken and a giant public trust has been grossly violated.

I can remember a similiar type of cop killing an innocent man in Troy, Ohio only it was a white man they killed. When the community protested, peaceably, the police came out and started busting heads, like the OPD did, and a riot ensued

Where did you read the OPD denied people a right to protest? The protests were going along fine until night hit and a splinter group broke off in Downtown Oakland and started rioting. The OPD had nothing to do with that.

I didn't read it. I got the information from a friend of mine who's a cabby in Oakland who was there and witnessed it. He said there wasn't any real problems until the OPD came out and started busting heads.
