Walking while Black is a CRIME!! #OPD Draw Guns on 2 Innocent Men #OO #PoliceBrutality

these young men strolled past me casually having a conversation before the Oakland Police Department clearly racially profiled them as they "fit the description" but were released right after the incident. Now if they had the info to release them, why on earth did they feel like pulling live ammo out on a public street in the middle of the day, right in front of a cafe? NEWSFLASH OPD all BLACK MEN ARE FUCKING CRIMINALS!

@FireCleansing I try hard not to think that. It's the same toe of thinking that makes it ok to criminalize blacks IMHO.

Ignore the fact tht Oakland is a city tht has had problems with the police being racist since BEFORE the Black Panther Party (thus the REASON) for the revolt is the police and the capitalist racist system they represent.

@JayUche2004 Blacks make up over 70% of the jail population and only about 12% of the nations population is black... You tell me if I'm misguided and angry for no reason.

@FutureCACPA Well in Oakland if you don't get violent you could end up in jail or shot in the back. What choice are people being left with? You tell me.

[bellaeiko]

@FutureCACPA So... The police isn't "a living"? They're certainly a gang

Racism doesn't exist? ...and you have the nerve to try & devalue someone else's level of education using the "Occutards" label? Wow. This was not an Occupy event oh wise one. This was a '2 black men being profiled' situation that happened to be caught on camera & later on the news.

Being arrested is still better than being beaten for being only one white person in bus / neighborhood. Racism is argument not only for blacks.
