Why are people getting emotional over the Oscar Grant situation?
Let the wheels of justice determine the outcome not emotion, riots and destruction of property. People, Asians, Whites and Arabs in Oakland work hard and save to own their stores and maintain their property and don't need a bunch of untamed Blacks rioting and destroying their stores and property. The National Guard should be sent to Oakland and shoot to kill without questions asked! Oakland needs a Mayor like Rizzo was in Philadelphia. He knew how to handle the Blacks. If this were Italy the Police and Army would have crushed this rebellion. We need more tough Mayors like Rizzo and Giuliani.

Now what you said is racist in its own. Sure I agree whore-heartedly with you that riots aren't the way to solve these kinds of things but you also have to take into consideration that a life was lost because of racial profiling. If these so called "untamed blacks" know the only way to speak their freedom is to riot, then so be it. But be prepared to stop them, without "shoot to kill without questions asked", because that is exactly what happened in the Oscar Grant situation.

Being emotional and protesting is understandable. I don't disagree with the move but expressing their emotions in rage against random innocent victims is wrong. Not only will these protesters not gain more support but resentment from victims who could care less about the shooting now. Small business owners have to pay around 600 dollars to repair windows and thousands of dollars for vehicle/property damages. I saw a women broke down in tears when she saw her car was burning in flames. I have relatives living in Oakland and they're frightened to go outside or leave sight of their properties. I'm more infuriated with these violent riots than showing sympathy for the death of Oscar. These so called protesters want justice but then they go do something entirely unjust on innocent victims. If this keeps up, I might have to agree with you, send out the army and take action to immobilize these bad guys.

All I can say is "wow". You seem to hate blacks a lot. The people in Oakland are "rebelling" against the murderous police. That boy was killed in cold blood. He was cooperating. He was doing everything the police told him to do. And he was a victum in the incident that started the entire thing. Personally I think the cop that shot him should be lynched.

first off if you wasnt ignorantly racist, it wasnt only blacks, asians/mexicans/whites also joined the protest which became a riot.and also participated in the riot. im not saying that it isnt right, but if they dont want it to happen, dont kill an unarmed man that was laying down on his stomach with his hands behind his back. they protested the everyone ignored, what other things can they do to get attention and be heard? after the riot the bart started to respond. shows how much you know

Why. BECAUSE A MAN WAS SHOT IN THE BACK LAYING ON THE GROUND BY A POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS SO WRONG IN DOING THIS. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE VIDEO THEN YOU NEED TO GO AND LOOK AT IT. YOU CAN TELL THAT THE OFFICER WHO SHOT THE POOR MAN WAS LIKE WTF DID I JUST DO. THE OFFICER IS WRONG AND SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PRISION.

im from oakland, and i know how tough it can be to live out there. there are too many murders committed by the citizens already, we look to people like the police to help us, so when an officer, who is suppose to protect us, kills one of our people...yes, we get angry. this man cannot get away with this. it's not just the fact that he killed this poor man, it's the fact that this cop is out free, still alive, living his day-to-day life like nothing ever happened. i do agree that Oakland should stop the riots and just protest peacefully, but that just how the people in Oakland behave.
