Cop wrongfully shoots man on train, town destroys their cityba

The first part..

"I feel like the night is going great," said Nia Sykes, 24, of San Francisco, one of the demonstrators. "I feel like Oakland should make some noise. This is how we need to fight back. It's for the murder of a black male."

Sykes, who is black, had little sympathy for the owner of Creative African Braids.

"She should be glad she just lost her business and not her life," Sykes said

Nearby, Godhuli Bose stood near her smashed Toyota Corolla as a man walked by, repeatedly called her a misogynist slur and then added, "F- your car."

😕

Can someone possibly explain what potential good comes from rioting and destroying your town full of poor business owners? I'm all for assembling and 1st amendment rights and all that, but this is just ridiculous

I'm very tempted to permaban everyone who posted racist bullshit in this thread. I will post the idea for moderator discussion.

what the heck does "Cop wrongfully shoots man on train, town destroys their cityba" mean
 
Start shooting? Cops shouldn't be shooting people in back, but they should be shooting idiots if they're trying to torch people alive.


Also coincidentally this is why white people don't live in the ghetto...

There is none. That protest in Oakland turned into an excuse for thugs to meet up and break other people's stuff. And jackasses like Nia Sikes need to get their fucking heads examined.

Ya know, it's funny but when I watched the vids of the protests and riots I saw plenty of white faces.

What is oakland pd standard issue? 9mm? Bart and Sacramento is 40s&w. THat is what most of those protestors deserve to get their head examined by.

Protest, ok, peaceful, good. Start rioting, destroying random property? You are now a criminal.

EDIT: For some reason, I think most of those people are probably criminals already with rapsheets.
 
It's good to see they're fighting back BUT they're attacking the wrong people. Those people are all innocent. If anything they should of smashed the windows of the police department or something. Not that I condone doing vandalism, but at least target the right group.

I thought about something like that - why not have the PD just leave a crown vic in the middle of the street to fuck it up? Designated decoy if you will

Why? These crowds tend to be bullies. They see the "man" and so run around and try to find random shit to smash where they won't get see repercussions for their actions.
