Interesting article title. :-}
So will the rioting in oakland begin soon?
Is this sentence above or below the riot threshold?
John Burris, black attorney for the Grant family, is whining right now on TV about “how blacks are not respected in this society” & “how they feel frustrated when they are young & don’t get any respect”.
Keep in mind—Grant & others were causing trouble INSIDE the BART train car & threatening riders on the train who were just trying to go home after New Year’s eve events. They were harrassing both white & BLACKS.
I have not a lick of sympathy for Oakland & it’s occupants.
They refuse to witness anything when crap happens.
They refuse to co-operate when one of their own gang members gets gunned down.
It is a constant ‘us against them’ mentality.
They refuse to get an education.
They leave school early & are unemployable.
Then they blame ‘whitey’.
They need some mirrors, IMO.
Let the riots begin.
I haven’t been following this case too closely, and I am not a lawyer, so maybe some of my fellow FReepers can help me out with this: Is it usual for a police officer involved in an “on-the-job” accidental fatality to face a criminal charge? i.e. if an office loses control of his patrol car during a high speed chase and t-bones the suspect’s car and kills him, will criminal charges against the officer normally follow? (I realize that he will almost certainly face a civil lawsuit later). I would think that the “employer”/P.D. would bear the brunt of the “blame”. How about this one: UPS driver accidentally loses control of his delivery truck and kills someone...will criminal charges be filed against the driver? We had an example here in the Central Valley of Calif. where a technician/driver for Hussmann refrigeration slammed his company truck into a sedan with 2 ladies in it (severe injuries, no fatalities), there were no criminal charges, but $9 million was awarded for injuries/disabilities and pain & suffering in a civil trial.
