on the frontline at the protest that marched from fruitvale bart to downtown oakland (around 12th and Madison). The protest was to show how the people of oakland are not pleased with the local shooting of Oscar Grant, shot by a bart police officer while Grant was detained and face down on the ground. Rest In Peace

Fuck all the people talking shit on the protesters. You wouldn't be saying shit if it was a white guy that got shot. This is coming from a white guy. These people have a right to be mad and I support what they are doing fully.

RIP Oscar Grant III

You can't say that for sure though. What if it was a Christian Cop that killed a Jewish man? Do you really think there wouldn't be atleast one Jewish person outraged by that? Actually not all of them, but some still would because there are black people that view black cops as uncle toms. We could both throw out hypotheticals all day, but neither of us knows for sure. A year later even I'll admit now that what I said I can't say for sure.

No one deserves to be shot and no one deserves to die. Since a year ago my stance has changed and I don't blame the cop, but I also formed a stance that says that all life is sacred. No one is born bad or good and you have to remember that it is somes father, son, and husband/bf that got killed. Killing is wrong no matter how you try to justify it.

Injustice makes people angry

@papertrailTIP

If it was a white guy who got shot there wouldn't even be a protest.

My question is would all these people in the vid be out protesting if it had been a black cop? Probably not.

These folks are pro at burning their own cities. Not the brightest bunch.

@papertrailTIP lol I don't recall ever seeing a white man riot over the death from a black cop killing a white guy, because we all know he (refering to the guy killed by a black cop) deserved it and we don't pull the race card. Agree to disagree but deep down you all know that is true.

We also had and still have to fight with the English, French, the Irish again, and their propaganda machines with there fucked up curriculums, that slant or are biased altogether, this would include there religious doctrines. I'll go further, my aunt, worked in two Catholic schools. She would come home telling us stories years ago about how feminized some of the boys and the priest they would come in contact with. Serial Killers, Rapist, Thugs, GANGsters, Molesters,Liers = WHITE HYPOCRITES.

[davisismail1comcast]

Hypocrisy is human nature unfortunately, and I find white types are the greatest participators of this behavior, well not all of them but a great deal of them, case and point. Im a serious student of history my father and uncles would tell me storys also about how crazy and violent the irish were, and how sloppy drunk they would get , or italians who would secretly sneak to be with black women, but if one of theirs ever laid with a black man all hell would break loose.
