how come when a cop kills a black man everyone riots and goes nuts. but no one...and i mean no one bats an eye when a black person kills another black person. in our town they were having a block party (in a black neigborhood) and threw out some black teenagers for getting rowdey at a family event. the kids came back shooting and killed 3 blacks including a 3 year old. it made the paper for 2 days then was ignored by everyone ...why dont those black protesters care about that stuff ?

you make alot of since....some black folk are very ignored. you will never ever see them protest a black on black homicide. these people in this video are fake. i wonder since Oscar Grant death, how many other protect has been held for the shooting death of other black and brown youth in the neigborhood.

@zardozqq Because the police are there to protect us from people like that. Not join them.

The jury gave the right conviction. Involuntary manslaughter is the right call. He didnt intentionally kill Oscar Grant. Police brutality is not systemic, its the exception not the rule.

How do you ask a government to renounce violence? they are the legitimately elected leaders of Gaza, try looking at who's bombing who before you blame the Palestinians. it's like saying it's okay for cops to shoot Oscar Grant because there's a lot of crime in Oakland.

The main objectives of policing is to enforce policies,the city money,the tax dollar money paid the police department to enforce these policies,to protect and to serve the public,to execute a man in public in plain view is not really serving the cause,the force in which the police used to subdued oscar is a bit excessive,infact it's down right murder,the camera caught it all.
