Well a white cop did it again. Shot an unarmed black man in the back while he was in cuffs on the ground. Poor guy was only 22.

video of shooting and article here:

city and police need to throw this guy in jail right away, and throw him under the bus.

the family of the victim immedietly need to call for peace.

california needs to ban jesse jackson and al sharpton from travel.

Here's a pretty good video of the shooting... crazy!! I live about 20 min from there and work in Oakland all the time.

I hope justice is served.

WTF was that cop thinking.

I find it odd though. He got shot at point blank. I'm curious as to the ballistics of that event. I mean, there's 2 other cops around him and several people, along with people in the train. Where did that bullet bounce off of? There's no way that that thing stuck into the ground, so it had to have come back up with that much velocity at close range. Anyway, tragic.

It did come back up. That is what killed the kid was the ricochet back up into his lungs. Such a stupid cop.
