Civil Disturbances after Peaceful Oscar Grant Demo

I saw "ghetto birds" flying around downtown Oakland I knew something was up so I grabbed my camera, headed down the way, and got there in time to catch the worst part of a day of peaceful action.

Looks like you might have filmed some good footage had you stopped moving your camera enough to focus on your subject matter in front of you. Just when it would catch up with your movement, you would make a quick turn with it again.

Its crazy seeing these "thugs" destroy the very area they live in.

Especially with all of the camera's rollin'...

Remember they where able to ID the thugs who beat up R. Denny after the Rodney King verdict in LA from home video...

PLAIN STUPIDITY

I appreciate the comment, I'll be sure to keep that in mind the next time I'm filming.

@912in916 Very few people live in Downtown Oakland anymore, as a result of gentrification. As far as I can tell, any rich fucks living in condos down there get what they deserve.

These people are going about this the wrong way they should be dragging there leaders out and pounding on them not on others property.
