@ Defy - Maybe you should've chose your words better then and I wouldn't have had reason to quote you.
I didn't say YOU specifically commended anyone. I aint tryin to play 'captain save a cop'. I'm tryin to play 'captain common sense and logic'.
The mistake a lot of folks make when shit like this happens is make it out to be 2 factions: Cops versus non cops, as if that's all there is to the problem. All cops aren't dirty and all citizens aint thugs. What about the cops that DON'T abuse their power? What about the citizens that DON'T put themselves in the position to be harrassed by 'pigs'?
what about the cops that don't abuse their power? well, that's alot of officers, and I would like to say most do not but I am not in position to speak on behalf of cops.
what about citizens that don't put themselves in the position to be harassed by pigs? well that's a different issue. cuz I don't view driving 4 deep in a mustang or making a legal left turn on a left arrow or getting off work and walking to your car putting myself in position to be harassed, yet I've been harassed doing those things. were those cops abusing their power? I dunno. were those cops assholes? yes.
ok, perhaps looking for blood was the wrong choice of words, so let me rephrase:
Cops will be quicker to react with force, possibly deadly force, due to what just happened. Cops are human, they see 3 dead and one close so they are gonna be a bit more cautious, nervous, scared, angry or any combination of those emotions and it will lead to more violence in Oakland.
Trust me, people are ready to burn the city to the ground already due to the Oscar Grant shit. One cop slips up and shit is gonna be real ugly for
US, the people who live and/or work in Oakland.
