Footage from CNN affiliate KTVU-TV showed demonstrators rampaging through the streets of Oakland, California ..........
The protests turned violent ..........
Oakland police tried to keep protesters at bay Wednesday night as they smashed car windshields and storefront windows. KTVU footage shows one protester jumping up and down on a police car hood, while another demonstrator pushes a flaming Dumpster up against it.
"We live a life of fear, and we want them to be afraid tonight," an unnamed female protester said.
I watched the video .......unbelievable really was my reaction ..... but these stupid black people are burning their own neighborhoods in protest? when do white people ever burn THEIR own homes, businesses and streets in protest?
I mean reallly .... this is the bottom level IMO, it baffles me people are THIS stupid

All you need is one occasion when the cops are allowed to open fire and light up a couple dozen of these folks and then have the authorities stand behind their actions, and stuff like this would become very, very rare. And i don't care if they are shiny black or lilly white. When people behave like animals then they needed to be treated as such.

Yupthat wouldn't set people off to the point where they use cops for target practice, They use that method in countries where the populace don't have guns.So do you just open up on everyone in the crowd or just the ones lighting the stuff on fire?
I don't agree with the protests turning violent but it appears that this guy got killed laying face down on the ground while his hands were behind his back. Think they call that an execution.

RE: Riots erupt in Oakland after slain father laid to rest
Well, i would suggest that shooting the folks pushing the flaming dumpster into the police cruiser would be a good start in terms of making sure one is nailing the guilty parties. As for folks shooting back, I doubt that many folks in that neighborhood are exactly heavily armed. And the ones who are armed are likely criminals who are already shooting at the cops and rioting and need to be taken down anyway.
And i doubt that folks in the future would be willing to riot or shoot at the cops if they knew that they would end up facing SWAT teams instead of beat cops standing their with their thumbs up their butts while they burn everything down.
