I am not trying to take up for any side but i do think that relations between urban youth and the police are %$+#$% up here, & that leads to situations like this. Here in Oakland Oscar Grant was killed on new years for nothing at all by police. Situations like that put cats in the street on edge, and in this case I THINK that this guy made up his mind that he was not going back to jail. Its sad...cats shootin fully automatic/ automatic guns in the hood, kids outside playin and what not, it could have been worse that what it was. On top of that the hood is like a media circus right now, the news has been on the block day and night covering the story. I hope that this situation dose not further tear down relations between the police and the youth in my city but i really think that it will. Myself personally have had to deal with the worst of police brutatlity, planting of drugs, stealing/taking my money & beatings all by the hands of foul cops right on these same streets. But still those officers do have familys and loved ones just as the shooter dose...and my heart go's out to all. I really wish this could have went down another way, four police officers & another young black man dead due to sinceless violence.OAKLAND, CA we need to get it together...
the town will never get it together man...I agree with you 100% though, but this has been going on before you and I were even born...
