The fact that some people are getting "joy" outta another mans death is just sad. I was talkin to my friend Jarreau's mama about this, shes basically like a 2nd mother to me, anyways she works at the Childrens Hospital in Oakland and has for years. She's told many stories of OPD officers saving the lives of children; black, white, mexicans wutever. She has also told me stories of how she has been profiled on her way to work and harassed by the OPD. Basically she was saying how there are good and bad elements in every faction of our lives but we cant let the negative influences make us respond negatively because that just creates a vicious circle. Killing police indiscriminately is never a positive thing because chances are your killing a family man who is one of the good ones. This is a shitty situation.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED BRITISH SOLDIERS IN NORTHERN IRELAND ?

In response to this thread, WOW! I've never been beaten down by a cop, but I've been laid down by about 8 of 'em @ gun point. I've had another one take aim at my face, I've been hemmed up countless times without cause (mostly when I was younger, and it happened DAILY). I've even been followed by cops and approached when I got out of my car. Why? Because I "looked" like I could be a criminal. That was the reason given to me. I "looked" like a drug dealer, or I "looked" like somebody they were looking for (who happened to be a different ethnicity one time). I even remember being tossed in the back of a cruiser and taken away because my boy set a train on fire (the driver of the train said it was an African American...yet the cops rolled up and got me and my brother).
Regardless, I don't hate cops...because I know some good ones. My Uncle is a good cop, my aunt used to be a good cop until she retired, my brother wanted to be a cop (IN OAKLAND), and I told him not to because he doesn't deserve what would have been waiting for him there. I think it's funny that people want the cops to stop profiling, but those same people profile the fuck out of cops.
I'm not sticking up for asshole cops, but I am sticking up for the ones doing their jobs. Nobody DESERVES to be murdered, period. I don't care who you are or where you're from, that's just bullshit. Two PEOPLE are dead because they pulled the wrong guy over, and two more PEOPLE are dead for trying to catch the guy that killed the first two. Then the 5th person is dead because??? He was afraid he might go back to jail? Good reason.
Now we have 5 people with families that will miss them forever, all over a fuckin' traffic stop.
And to those of you that are being ignorant about the whole thing...think about THIS. You're walking along the street, some cat walks up to you and puts your brains on the curb because you have on the wrong color in the wrong neighborhood...but you're not his enemy...you don't bang. You're a straight shooter with a wife and kids at home, and people on the street are saying you deserved it because you may or may not have been somebody's enemy. If there was a heaven, would you sit up there and say, "I understand why that man shot me"???
