I do enjoy a good laugh or two during the day, but definitely none have been elicited from this forum. I'm all business when I'm logged into City Data. I see myself as a modern day hero of sorts; providing truth freely for those seeking it.

When people say Oakland is a safe place to live, when it has the highest violent crime rate in the state, I find it necessary to comment, not just for myself, but to save the lives of others.

Thanks for confirming you're a loser with no life. Been here 3 months and have over 700 posts 90% on a city you know nothing about nor have ever been to. Yeah you're just what I thought. Goodbye.

Yes, many people thought Rosalind Franklin and Albert Einstein were crazy too. It didn't make them any less right.

I was hardly defending them. Is that your definition of a defense? I am merely philosophizing on what other reasoning a person may have to say such a thing as he deserved to die. I don't think he deserved to die nor have i said so. I do like to try to figure out where people are coming from when they say such things. I would be inclined to chalk it up to the internet rantings and people saying stuff just to get a rise out of you and others.

But anytime you are dealing with the police, I do think it is reasonable to be advised that they just may shoot you whether you deserve it or not, whether you are guilty or not, and whether you are black or not. If you reach into your pocket for your license and they mistake that gesture for you reaching for a gun, it may be the last we see of you.
You do realize this happens often, and it not always a "race" involved incident. Sometimes you should just behave and get a lawyer to sue them later.

Reading SF Gate comments is bad for your health. The people who post there just seem to hate life in general.

No, that seems untrue based on the fact that he pulled only one weapon from his belt, and managed to shoot someone through the back, into the tile at the BART station. Tasers cannot do that.

I personally do not believe this was about race at all and have never said the cop was a racist. But it's the public that seems to be making it that way. This is just a jerk cop who lost control.

So why don't you find some examples of a suburban white teenager unnecessarily getting shot by the police? To say that Oscar Grant's skin color or demeanor had nothing to do with it is ridiculous. The cop looks like an immature bully who grew up in a culturally homogeneous suburb and did not know how to interpret the behavior of urban black youths and neither had any skill in crowd control. So what does the cop want? Shoot and kill every misbehaving black youth on planet?

Besides the whole point is we cannot let these thuggish cops on power trip let go their guns lose on innocent citizens. The cops earn big freakin 6 figure salaries in bay area and at the very least we should expect them to act a little more intelligently and professionally.

I am sick of people unwilling to see the injustice done to Oscar Grant and trying to justify this in bizarre ways. You are doing that because you are a RACIST and you probably know that too.
