A car burns in my neighborhood, in the wake of angry protests turned to rioting on the streets of Oakland this evening. The New Year's Eve shooting of Oscar Grant a week ago, by (now former) BART Police officer Johannes Mehserle, was caught on video by numerous sources and helped fan the flames of an outraged public.

This video was shot from my apartment building.

  • That's wrong, I watched this on the news as it was happening. There's no need to set peoples cars on fire, or even break business windows....

  • It's kind of justified...I don't really know. The cop said he thought it was his tazer gun when he shot the guy,but it was really his gun. Still...why tazer a guy when hes handcuffed already?

  • Thumbs up if u heard the guy save "GET A REAL JOB"

  • how is burning some random person's car supposed to solve anything?

  • anytime a gun is involved there is a chance of accidental shooting.

  • ALLL COPS ARE BASTARDS

    FUCK THE POLICE

  • then they can rob and murder the cab driver they used to get there then hold up and rape the Korean lady who sold them some beer.

  • Your are right they should not riot instead go out and find that cop and shoot him for no reason just like he did.

  • never see blacks riot when one bunch of them shoots and kills some others, like the 16 year old in Albany who shot the 10 year old dead

  • what war, what the fuck are you talking about? war against the police department?

  • That doesn't mean you got out and riot, you fucking idiot. If someone like a lawyer scams you out of your money, do you go out and riot in the streets for that too?! Let me tell you something, if my family member was shot by anyone, I wouldn't go out and riot in the streets and destroy everything. I'd want the shooter in jail. Thats what I'd want. You people are just pussies and you can't control your anger.

  • >.> Yeah,I take back what I said. Now they're just putting the lives of others at risk. A peaceful protest would've been justified,but the violence isn't solving anything.
