BART Shooting Mayor Ron Dellums Talks To Oakland

http://oaklandfocus.blogspot.com - To me what you're about to see is Mayor Ron Dellums finest hour: the day Dellums woke up. Here, Dellums got out and adressed Oaklanders at a rally held one week after the Oakland Riot. Later, I talked with my good friend Peter Van Kleef about the riot, the BART Shooting, and where we go from here as a City.

@blkmanrule Damn you're black how can standing up to police oppression be bullshyt? I agree he was a shytty mayor but lets not forget about how Oscar Grant was brutally murdered.

@blkmanrule Dellums was a terrible mayor no doubt but I agree with his attitude towards the PoliceDepartment. They refused to acknowledge him as the City's top adminstrator as well as prevented him from attending a slain cops funeral.Any politician who's willing to speak out against law enforcement's abusive treatment of minorities gets kudos from me. I bet you're one of those white liberals who's moved to Oakland after they couldnt afford the rent anymore in SF and the Peninsula.

Everone in Oackland should call for the mayor to resign at once. His moral terpiatude should make him resign without a call 4. But anyone who listens two this bullshit he's spewin deservere no justice.

@AlanMolstad Are you trying to fuckin tell me he didn't pull his gun aim and shoot that kid in the back of the fucking head? If you are your the dummest bitch in the world if you aren't belay that....last comment!

@lovelosttruthgained ....the trial has proven that it turns out to be easy given the right situation to make a mistake and grab one handle with a trigger when you wanted to grab the other handle with a trigger.

The bart cop told his partner they he was about to use his Taser, then he shot the kid dead and was stunned that he did.

@AlanMolstad How can you mistake a taser for a gun,, I'm a marine and a taser and a gun feels completely different.. Secondly he aimed and shot....He killed that young american in cold blood...

@emperor536 ...

There is something to be said for staying home on New Years Eve, and spending the time with your children.

There is something to be said for marrying the mother of your children.

There is something to be said for not doing drugs so that you dont have to hide them from the cops up your butt.

There is something to be said in not going out late at nite looking for trouble when you have responsibilities enough at home

@AlanMolstad well to be honest and shall i say sadly, whether his actions was intentional or not, you're right the verdict might be just that! although i must admit mistakes are a part of the drill, but it's just hard to imagine that the cost of ones mistakes is the life of another. Then, the way it happened was like what you see in a mafia style killing on tv this is what really makes the issue so grafic and well, unacceptable. However its tough being black, but it's also tough fighting crime.

@zennie62 recall the mayor?...why would anyone think that was a step to take?

I still dont see anything that the mayor did that was so much in error that he needed to be fired like he got caught stealing cash from old people....
