I am sure that is true and what this does for East Oakland is not pretty..Of course the media coverage does nothing more than give a few attention like they had hoped..

It's also worth noting that the organizer of the protest (for Uhuru) is a white middle-aged woman who lives on the Rockridge/Temescal border (one of the ritzier neighborhoods in Oakland, for those who don't live here). I have heard East Oaklanders rage against her for purporting to speak on their behalf, smearing their neighborhod, and for her argument that they are Africans, rather than African Americans.

I find that almost as disturbing as the protest....

Face it: with fools like Dolores Darnell-----------who 'needs' the KKK to keep the Black man in his so-called place.
1. This was a grief-stricken relative.
2. She went on to apologize for what her cousins did to the officers' families.
3. The marchers are a far-left radical group.
4. Support for the officers' march outnumbered this group by 50 to 1.

I'm trying to figure that out also. How does one pull a hero out this??? In my eyes; he's no hero. He is still a monster. Horrible. Shame on the News media.
