A jury has convicted a white former transit officer of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of an unarmed black man on an Oakland train platform. Johannes Mehserle was found guilty on Thursday in the New Year's Day 2009 killing of 22-year-old Oscar Grant. Involuntary manslaughter carries a sentence of two to four years. As the verdict reached the streets, scores of people were arrested in Oakland riots as police tried to wrest control of downtown from looters angry about the BART verdict earlier in the day.

Black man with microphone: 'Everyone stay non-violent'

Black crowd: 'FUCK YOU NIGGER, time for some new shoes and clothes!!' >_>

That pretty much sums up black communities around the world. For every good, peaceful black person you get a hundred ghetto thugs that will cause crime and violence and will be an eternal burden on society and the governments that are forced to support them.

You guys need to End the Federal Reserve Bank, thats the Head of the Beast. Its a Private Bank, not Federal, its owned by private Global Bankers. They are the problem. Do your Research People. Most of your income tax goes to pay intrest to these bankers. They Federal Reserve act was voted on while everyone was on Christmas Vacation in 1913. Seach "creature from jekyll island". All the wars started after that, the bankers started the wars for PROFIT, they own the major corporations. WAKE UP
