4 cops shot, suspect dead after Calif. traffic stop

Police say suspect behind two separate shootings involving officers

OAKLAND, Calif. - Four officers were in critical condition and a suspect dead on Saturday after gunfire at a traffic stop led to a massive manhunt that ended in a shootout, police said.

Two officers were shot in the first incident just after 1 p.m. after they stopped the suspect's vehicle in east Oakland, said Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason.

The suspect fled the scene on foot into a nearby neighborhood, police said, leading to an intense manhunt by dozens of Oakland police, California Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff deputies.

Streets were roped off and an entire area of east Oakland shut to traffic.

Thanks in part to the federal courts meddling and in part to the Democrats spending money on useless projects, there’s a shortage of cell space in the state. Almost everybody does only half the sentence in custody.

There aren’t to many Mexicans to be found in Oakland.

Hispanics aren't the largest ethnic group in Oakland but there are plenty of them to be found there. According to local census data the Hispanic population is over 20% for the city.

I’ll do that, I watched a 17 minute raw video from CBS which is where I saw the grafitti. I bet you anything he is related in some way to the NFL player from California Tim Mixon, that isn’t a common name and they are close to the same ages.

A few grenades would solve that problem, but of course thats beyond issued police ordnance.

But it may come to that yet.

Do they have flash bangs issued to California SWAT?

I would prefer California establish tent cities rather than just turn them loose.

> Well, good. Like I said, Ban me, I don`t need time to post.

Lookit pal, I was doing you a favor pointing out the norms for you. I’m not a Mod, I cannot ban you. But if enough people find you obnoxious the Mods will notice and you may well get ZOTted. It happens all the time, particularly to NoObs like yourself.

Why not re-pack the Attitude and start again a little more cautiously?

> You are not who you say you are.

How do you figure that? Who I am is a matter of public record. In fact, I’ve filled in my About page comprehensively.

So please show me where I am telling fibs.

> You are afraid.

Of what?

I had one pointed at me- shoved right in my neck and then smashed against my head several times by a gang of punk teen Mexicans at a Wal-Mart in Winston-Salem, NC. It was not fun. I don’t think that puts me on any level of significance as far as this story goes, though.

California and Jerry Brown, when he was mayor, encouraged a touchy-feely approach to criminals... crime escalated under him, I don’t know if it’s improved since he became AG.

I'm not a huge fan of Jerry Brown but you're passing along a boat load of misinformation.

Compared to the current Mayor, Ron Dellums, Brown was a law and order bad ass.
