[toxiicx31]

He his black

[toxiicx31]

They r hacking me

[toxiicx31]

He is a fackn nigger fuk black

[jdeweyhs]

no justce, no peace, cuz weze gotz to be stoppin the police from killin all the Black man here in oakland.

[ssn708]

@jdeweyhs Where is your outrage over the Black population killing each other off in Oakland? That is what is happening much, much more often. What happened with Mehserle was an accident, but there are real cases of cops murdering people and that is wrong, but so is the murder rate within the community overall.

[nineballssj9]

Question to my black people...now if a black man shot oscar grant in the back and got the same sentence as the police officer would you go riot over that?...and if yes then why the hell we never riot on black on black crimes?

[209809367]

@nineballssj9 The killer was an officer, that is where the outrage lies. Question to you, was the officer black? Nope. Can you offer me a situation where a black cop killed a black detainee? Nope.

[nineballssj9]

@209809367 you right....but i'm sure there were black cops shooting black people...but answer me this...if a blood or crip killed oscar grant and got the same sentence as the police did would they riot in the street like this?

[ssn708]

@209809367 Wrong. Do some research. Plenty of Black cops have killed Black suspects. Black cops have killed White suspects too, it just is not news worthy. When it is a Black person the headline is "Unarmed Black man". When it is a White person, it is simply "Unarmed man".

[Artook]

The police are held to higher standards is not an answer.

[Artook]

I have one question.If Oscar Grant was killed by a Blood or a Crip and he was charged only with manslaughter would there be equal outrage and protest?

[ShaShaKrieg1213]

The stupidity is in the fact that violence never solves anything. You are not proving your point by acting like idiots. Also the Oakland police and other police depts there had nothing to do with the shooting. The officer in question was a member of the BART police.

[2deltaactual]

Somalia,Oakland,LA,Darfhur,Con­go.One word GENETICS.Send in the Marines 2 kill any and all looters and rioters.Frigging animals.BLAME,BLAME,BLAME.Just once it would be nice 2 see these scrotes take responsibilty for their own actions.But that will never happen as GENETICS wont allow 4 it.Blame racism all you want but the facts are GENETICS cant be changed.And the true facts are U people know it.It may not be politically correct,but the truth never is.How many more blacks will kill other blacks2DA

[xlemonbrainx]

@SIGN666

No justice no peace? do you even hear yourself? you ARE just as bad as the crooked cops killing people.Why should the public suffer because of your ignroance? why should people have their cars vandalized? buisnesses being messed with? grow the fuck up.YOUR ignorance is part of the problem.Chaos causes NOTHING.When are you people going to realize this? you humans are dumb as dirt.No wonder this planet is shit.

[DarPower1]

jetsucks2008 He did fight back, but still shut up you sound so unsophisticated, your most likely white so here is a suggestion..........get out of the 60's its afro americans not negros, dude you have lost all creditability by saying that

[queueupladeez]

Good riddance to another piece of trash. Burn in hell.

[samten10a]

That riot did not help to stop the cops from shooting more unarmed blacks in the future. It just went to prove the blacks are mud people, animals that act with out thinking to bad. They had a chance yet again to get rid of the some of the image.

[DarPower1]

@samten10a of shut up you are so stupid, didnt hypii's whom were mainly white riot and screw things up...............thats what i though, activists ................white?........­yeah seriously. Dude actually think about what you say before you say it, it helps. By the way you do realize that blacks and asians were the first civilizations which means you and me came from them ouch! Look sorry but everybody does that and your a person whom again act without thinking WOAH

[samten10a]

What you need to do is take it court house in a peacefully manner. State the following, if the officer is not prosecuted for the death of Oscar grant we will work to vote some one in who will uphold his duties as prosecutor and work to elect a different state prosecutor. Next move the protest to the city hall and deliver the following unless there is justice for Oscar Grant we will work to vote some one else in Mr mayor and city fathers all of you.

[MrCOOLISHES]

im with ya deviouse barbiedoll

[DeviousBarbiedoll89]

justice!!! fuck the police!!

[heatherrose2006]

They closed the building down and sent the people out into a riot? Remember it's all about public safety.

[bigdaddyquey]

wonder if they have arrested those who started the violence.

[heatherrose2006]

Who, the pig that shot Oscar in cold blood.

[wanshei]

We need a whole lot more people out there. We out number the cops, we have more guns too. We will not live under the heel of anyone.

[ccrowder100]

We were quite fortunate to have oakland judge Clay,who thankfully has the strength,wisdom and integrity to stand up for what is right.Mehserle's spineless attorney is now requesting for specific video coverage to be thrown out.Oscar Grant deserve's for the WHOLE TRUTH to be disclosed and viewed.Why is this attorney so scared of the TRUTH?

[ccrowder100]

Mehserle's attorney know's he will get a fair trial in oakland,because we have a judge that is not a follower,but has integrity.He is frightened of that,so he want's another judge that he can possibly manipulate so that mehserle will walk.

[grimbattalion]

the murderer gose free, find him and get your justice people.

[XxchrisbrownloverxX]

im going to be honest right now I just want to KILL the officer who did that to him if I lived in America I would be protesting 24/7! That was just so horrible what he did to that man! And he was so young!

[BerkeleyRightsNOW]

I don't care if Yohannes Meserle goes free because I got my revenge when those 4 pigs got popped.

[waddleduckie1]

These angry citizens now may want to think 'twice' over their confrontation with the Oakland Police that a black man murdered 4 officers. That same black man raped a 12 year old girl and committed other crimes. Oscar Grant was just unfortunately or accidentally killed by a BART police officer and this is nothing compared to a massive murder in cold blood of the 4 Oakland Police officers. I think the citizens should just cool their head before firing off another round of mental mortar.

[Brohem76]

Are you serious? This is retaliation for injustice that's what it is. Did the police offer responsible for the shooting get arrested? Fuck no. We're tired of being told to act civil when we aren't being treated as such. So I say riot, tear shit up, whatever it takes to make a point. What is the point in rallying in peace when it isn't working? I'm sick of this shit.

[superduperman2030]

fuck americn police they so injust no fucking honour at all im glad i live in england

[JetsSuck2008]

How about the nigger who just shot and killed 4 decorated officers in Oakland!!!

Niggers should not be allowed to be on parole. I am glad I live in a safe white area.

They aought to pull all the white people out of Oakland and drop a nuclear bomb on all theose dumb niggers! Oscar was a thug!

This is all Obamas fault!

[H0H0H0zzz]

LOL....

[JetsSuck2008]

That young thug should have cooperated with th Pow-Lease(How a uneducated negro says Police)!

The city should send his family the bill for the bullet. Lawsuit my ass....I didnt see any wrong doing by the police in the video! I hope none of the police were hurt. I would have shot him twice if I was the police.

Lesson to all young blacks....."Cooperate with Law Enforcement or pay a price".

[gunsnrox123]

You are disgusting!!! I hope you are not married or have kids, you sociopath, it people like you that should be killed because you make our society worst

[JetsSuck2008]

I have 3 kids and have been married for 12 wonderful years. We live in a white community and very rarely see and crimes. The biggest crime in our white community was a OUI.........I am glad I dont live in the ghetto like you do!

[Sarcasm24]

I like your screen name. The absolutely fucking hate the jets lol. However, your comments are wrong. It's clear that an all white community is different then an all black community. It's wrong to knock someone that lives in an all black community. Not all blacks are uneducated. Sadly, besides prominent blacks...the only other blacks you'll see on tv is the one that commits crimes. You won't see some cheesy ass human interest story like you see with the majority

[Sarcasm24]

Congrats on being married and living in a great community (I'm being serious..not sarcastic at all).However, if you want to say something to someone about living in the "ghetto",realize that you also live in a ghetto, seeing that the ACTUAL definition is a segregated mode of living. Hope you see that I'm not trying to be rude.I just think it's unfair that people are judged unfairly. The main was clearly murdered by a cop! Wouldn't that upset you.I don't condone rioting, but can you blame them?

[abdi3810]

yh right, so do you give your kids alcohol, because that's the only thing you white do to your kids. I CANNOT WAIT TILL I SEE YOU DIE OF ALCOHOL AND YOUR KIDS OF STD OR OVERDOSE - 86% OF ALL WHITE DIE BECAUSE OF ALCOHOL AND REALTED SH*T STUFF -SO THANKS GOD THAT DIDN'T MAKE ME WHITE ... ARRGGGHHH!

[VinnyCons]

JetsSuck, add an "e" to "th" to make "the." Use a space between words and parenthesis. Capitalize "Negro," and use quotation marks and lower case for "police." You should be ashamed of yourself. Get it together before revealing yourself as the very kind of people you're trying to insult.

[XxchrisbrownloverxX]

oh my god he was messing around with his friends like your kids will one day and they got to loud and that son of a bitch cop came and shot him and he WAS cooperating I know the whole story because i'v been following it and fyi I'm white and couldn't give a fuck what colour the boy was......that cop needs to die after what he did!

[ssn708]

@XxchrisbrownloverxX You obviously have not been following anything but lies if you think Grant was cooperating in the least. Assaulting 2 cops is not cooperating. Standing when ordered to remain seated is not cooperating. Trying to roll over onto your back is not cooperating. Placing your hands under your body so you can't be cuffed is not cooperating. Where exactly was this cooperation?

[Bobster986]

Where were these people when Oscar was first approched by the police? All those people on the train just sat there as the police started violating his rights. It was then that all the civians should of done something, not after the fact. FIGHT BAVK NOW BEFORE ITS TO LATE!

[blorenzo26]

I feel that the protest was poorly organized. If you look at the local CBS channel, the cops made the first move. In this emotionally charged situation, protest organizers should have trained and planned better. Remember this RIOT happened mainly because of the piss-poor actions of BART, the city and the state. Only after the RIOT did they decide to escalate the investigation. If they put their best foot forward in the beginning this might not have happened. two words people, Double Standard

[blorenzo26]

You know what, the riot was wrong but this recieved national attenition because of it. Nobody agree with destroying property. Can anyone please tell me how Natlie Holloway can get constant news coverage for 3 years and they wont even show a man wrongly being shot in the back in the news until the public went crazy?? Somebody tell me how is this fair??? Im listing. (FTR - I have full respect for N. Holloway)

[goddamnfaggots]

Fuck yeah, RIOT!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[essentialeugene]

I am so mad at the rioting. They had no right to tear up property. The news said it wasn't the adult protestors. It was the black youth that were doing that. There were even some young people from an Oakland charter school and from the Oakland School For The Arts. People have to learn to control their anger. Watch out they are going to be more protests next week.

[MacPete187]

it wasn't black youth. and who cares if windows and cars got hurt. so did oscar. he go so hurt hes fucking dead. so please, put your feelings of pride for material possessions away for a moment. sometimes it takes a riot, to make a point. the cops do that again anytime soon and its curtains for them.. you can tell by the aggrivation

[gangstapranksta717]

You don't go ruining property to make a point. It is called being immature. People who don't know how to appropriately voice their concerns are the pieces of trash that resort to riots.

[MacPete187]

oh cry about it. you sound like an idiot calling people pieces of trash. maybe a few hits over the head with a baton and you'll wise up.

[gangstapranksta717]

Aren't you the one to talk...you are the one sticking up for those individuals who resort to breaking property as a good way to make a point. If you think about it, would you say that someone who creates chaos and damages property is a model citizen? Your entire argument fails. And to your last statement, isn't that the officers job? They do that to individuals such as yourself that get out of line. Maybe that is why you gave such a retarded argument, you can't think right from getting hit.

[MacPete187]

who said anyone was trying to be a 'model citizen'? Why does one need to be a 'model' for anyone.

I don't see your perspective, of how the argument fails due to a riot.. that is completely your opinion.

More people know of what happened now because of the riot. otherwise, it would be washed in between news reports of the Gaza, Economic Crisis, and clips of Obama. Fact of the matter is, the U.S. isn't 'Pleasantville'.. and you will see much more of this type of footage in 2009.

[gangstapranksta717]

People who abide by the law know how to do a peaceful protest. Riots often look like they are caused by drunk individuals whose team lost the Super Bowl and can't find an appropriate way to solve a problem.

Your argument fails because you think by doing a violent act (which a riot is because of the destruction) people will take a situation seriously. It does look pathetic, and how many middle class people participated in this act?

[MacPete187]

All you have is your pathetic opinions fool.. you think that drunk superbowlers started the riot in Oakland, did that sound smart to you when you first typed it?

You sound a bit ignorant and bloated with opinions that really have nothing to do with what the clip is about. Okay, so rioting scares you.. but thats your opinion.

but what is fact and not opinion, is that the riot enabled many more people to hear about this tragic event. what middle class? stop trying to stereotype. troll.

[gangstapranksta717]

Are you fucking stupid, or do you just have poor reading comprehension? I said that they LOOK LIKE THEY ARE CAUSED, in other words I was using an analogy.

Seriously, the people that participated were mostly poor or black. That is not a stereotype, you could even tell from the crowds or people that were interviewed.

I'm the troll?!? lol You are the dumbshit who basically cheered rioters even though they destroyed property and and police cars. You appear to be more of a troll to me.

[MacPete187]

internet troll. yes you are.

[gangstapranksta717]

With dumb comments like that which have nothing to do with the topic onhand, you're the troll. Every 1 of my posts have been ON topic, unlike yours.

I think that what happened to grant was unfortunate, but that doesn't mean that people get to cause damage. It's just a way to show immaturity and hate. If I'm the troll, how come I SUBSCRIBE to things and have friends online, which I can't really say you've done much of. In short, your lack of subscriptions and friends makes you the likely troll.

[TouchedProductions]

The endtimes are near!

DOOM!

[MacPete187]

no shit, they even brought and active denial system..

[kansir747r]

lick my balls u crosseye fagget! I know wat the fuk is goin on. I ain't talkin about fukkin greece muthafuka!..& I wasn't talkin to ur fruitcake ass so go fuk a sheep or something...

[kansir747r]

dumb ignorant fuks! wat the fuk is a riot & fukkin up shit around you gonna do? This is a just an excuses to fuk shit up & start stealing shit!..stupid niggers! This is how good black people get a bad name from all the fukkin niggers!..I feel sorry for all the ones who do things the right way..I hope all these reatards get shot down...

[chutubeme]

have you ever heard of cops disguised as protesters?? you fuckin idiot!! in the Greece protest the cops were dressed like protesters and broke windows and shit!! wake up mothafucka and look at whats happening at the world around you,you blind ignorant SHEEP!!

[smith200777]

where is your obama now lol,,,and those protesters are pussies...what you do is put gasoline in bottles and stick cloth in the top as well as jump the cops take there guns and start shooting ....life isnt gonna change ever if your black and poor you aint gonna ever make a dollar ...welcome to america -- good luck fuck the spic vice mayor and fuck the governator his movie is coming to life on the streets of california-this is not america

[fwhamill]

You're right. This is not America. This is Amerikkka. Has been for a long, long time. I'll be so damned glad when this empire dies. And make no mistake. It is dying. Ho ho, ha ha, hee hee. Kill the empire. Watch it bleed.

[louisortizjfk]

chill are you out your mind!!!! these cops are strait bitches ...how can you give someone a badge and a gun...after only 6 months of training... then throw him in a minority town what you expect ..??? RACISM IS O SO STILL REAL !!!

[guttaboi88]

im talkin bout killin tha racist crackers, not regular white ppl who dnt think like these rednecks

[kenpo9599]

wtf do you all expect ... it's bull shit...people get sick and tired of being fucken oppressed... FUCK THE POLICE!... FUCK THE GOVERNMENT SHIT!! MY COUNTRY!! FUCK YOU ALL!

[fwhamill]

Hooray! I could not agree more. I am so sick of hearing the disgustingly biased blather of the corporate press. Corporate press is shit souffle. Lies, fluff, slease and nazi propaganda for law & odor fascist state. I've been protesting wars and the torture of animals long enough to know they make up their own rules as thsey go along. God damn the amerikkkan gestapo. God damn them.

[youngrebelproduction]

These muthafuckas got some nerve!Just chill and relax. She wouldn't be saying that shit if her son got shot. I mean, this shit happens all the time and now when folks wanna man up they are supposed to chill. People chilled for 500 years, it's about to get hot!

[youngrebelproduction]

This shit is going to get worse, then they are going to declare martial law. then a lot of you are going into these concentration camps they got set up for you so-called blacks and latinos. then ur friend obama, if he doesn't get smoked, is going to hook you up with an rfid chip in your hand. You muthafuckas better wake up right now before it's a wrap

[Zihuadannyzihua]

How can a police have problems to differentiate from a gun and a tazer gun do they not get lessons or are they just to stupid. If it were a civilian that did that he would be in jail and prosecuted for shutting an officer. things are just to crazzzy in this world.

[djax4mvp]

why are there like 5 people talking at the same time?

[wiseproof]

THis forum could be used way more powerfully than as a podium for name calling, or any other useless ego tripping.

YOu can see that there isn't even a riot in this video. There is just more fascist cops chasing citizens like any police-state.

[KillmydayOne]

Considering average age is 14 what could you really expect. But you are right this could be a powerfully podium but unfortunately pre teens and puberty trash is destroying that opportunity

[lifeskills81]

At the end of the tape you see the "cop" or "cia agent" who pulled the trigger making eye contact as if to ensure it was being taped. i for one think this was a staged event. obviously

[thamonstah510]

he looked up cause he knew he was fucked. which is why he won't talk and resigned.

[guttaboi88]

fuck these cracker police, dnt yall see tha police jus like columbus wen he came here and killed innocent ppl, and tha pigs like tha slave masters, fuck tha whitemans law, fuck gettin beat down or shot wen i didnt do shit, im goin out like scarface kill as many of those crackers as i can, tha race wars will be here shortly, yall betta get ready

[djax4mvp]

but what if one of the crackers is me? that would be sad....:(

[KARASUNSTAR]

you dumb azzez need to shut up becuz many of the protesters are white you racists trailer park trash!

[xpo147]

Thank you for posting. This vid must be seen to affirm the unfair treatment Oakland residents receive from so-called "peace" officers

[giatros7]

fuck da police from u.s. to greece

r.i.p oscar grant & alexis grigoropoulos

[NoirTulips]

Half of these idiots are not even there because of the injustice that occurred.They are there to steal and cause havoc just because they can. Whatever happened to peaceful protesting?

[muscles20x6]

There is nothing peaceful about an innocent man being shot by a cop. Sometimes enough is enough and people need to take matters into their own hands.

[thamonstah510]

okay.

1. who the fuck said people stole shit?

2. people "cause havoc" out here regardless. we call it goin dumb, stupid etc so really you saying it's stupid doesn't mean shit cause thats what we call it.

3. people caused havoc because our attitude to the police is pretty much "fuck em"

so before calling other people idiots, make sure you don't sound like one. whether it's ignorant or not can be argued, but still, that's how it is. we say it's ignorant ourselves....we know.

[octo41]

that a way oakland "citizens"...burn your city in protest. steal from your local businesses, vandalize your "beautiful" hood. where will you all eat now that McDonalds is all f'd up? you hoodrats have to live there. no body ever taught you "activists" not to crap in your own back yard. keep it up. national guard will be cleaning up soon.

[gitchigoomi]

That's right. Protest by stealing tv's. Protest by looting, smashing and burning. While you're at it, PLEASE PLEASE loot some bookstores for a change. If whites "protested" every time a black person killed a white person, we'd be protesting so much that we wouldn't be able to work and pay taxes. That would leave you without welfare benefits. I'm not falling for any of your "protest" bullshit and neither is anyone else.

[Shabaka87]

LMFAO. Most of the people that was out here protesting were white their damn selves you dumb fuck. People just hate cops.

[A2FatalAssassin]

a father was shot, and killed for no reason; he was co-operating after he was arrested.

They have a reason to be angry, race has nothing to do with it.

[chicktracypi]

Im curious if Grant had been a white guy would johannes mehserle have shot??? What a cluster FUCK!!!! The female officer also threatened to girl for the video, luckily the train took off otherwise they would have destroyed this evidence like they do everyday.

[rikkrude]

hey if ur mad about it go after the actual cop at his house. do what you want with that ass wipe. Dont go destroying ur town fuckin idiots.

[Bluegrassjam1979]

If I was going to exact some revenge I would expect "friends" from out of state to settle the score "eye for an eye" and 10 fold style. Nobody needs to know who or from where. Just do it and get out and don't talk about it afterwords.

I think that for every innocent person killed by a cop 10 cops should expect the same treatment. PERIOD with no exceptions and no regard for family! I will have no respect for the people of Oakland if that police officer is allowed to grow old & raise his kids.

[blownup]

These peoplea r protesting for 1 man who died. What about 30% of my taxes that are taken out of my check every 2 weeks? What about the govmt stealing $700 billion to fund Banks who made bad decisons. These people in Oakland need to start rioting for stuff that matters, because in the end this accidentally shooting of one man, is not as important as this whole nation falling apart at the seems. Let's start sending politicians to jail, democrat and republican. CONSERVATIVES & LIBERALS UNITE!!

[distortedlights]

this is just a start of a series of protests. too bad it took Oscar Grant's life for the people to realize they should be protesting rather than sitting on a couch watching stupid TV shows! hopefully Americans will wake up and follow the path of the Greeks.

[himagain1980]

path of the greeks......LOL

[ccrowder100]

Would it matter if it were you laying in your coffin?

[WhoRonPaul]

i hope you are talking about the cops because vandalism is professionally handled with a citation, not an arrest

[harvestmoondog]

Friggin' animals.

[theblockcrew]

who are the animals? i hope you're referring to the the zoo that is the police force!!

if not, you need a head check!

[nella0327]

the protesters are animals. a protest should be peaceful, what they are doing is rioting. dumb asses can't even protest right. he shouldn't have been fighting on the bart train to begin with

[theblockcrew]

you don't even know for a fact that he was fighting... and even then why did he deserve to be shot execution style? yeah now what you got to say you cracker!

[MacPete187]

your an idiot. thats a riot. not a protest. know the difference between the two and quit bitching about how a protest should be. they were there to riot.. not to walk and cry and bitch about a fucking prick cop with a trigger finger. people over there are sick of the mistreatment, it wasn't your car that got smashed, so remain indifferent, tool.

[Airportris]

people are doing wat they need to do to be heard.. this is obviously unorganized... but people are doing wat they feel.. there has been 5 police shootings in the united states in the last 2 weeks

[tjac59]

Oscar Grant was acting a fool and he cause his own death..Now these small minded fools desided to tear up their own hood. these black people are like animals. why dont you 40 ounce drinking, knuckleheads, clean up your own hood. That wii never happen because you are all cowards. Sorry ass Niggas
