I think I'm going to love Oakland

Police arrested 152 protesters who streamed through the streets Friday - some breaking windows and knocking down fences - after a white ex-transit officer received the minimum two-year prison sentence for fatally shooting an unarmed black man on a California train platform.

Too bad Portland doesn't bring the motherfucking ruckus when cops murder people and don't get any time at all.

Isn't this the officer that said he ment to reach for his taser but drew the pistol?

Yep, and it was caught on video: the guy wasn't struggling and face down on the ground.

That's some cold-blooded shit.

Oakland riots are hardcore both with the rioters smashing up things for no reason and the police retaliating brutal hard. Its all a bit sick tbh.

I think they meant to swing their bodies in interpretive dance but accidentally broke some stuff instead.

I THINK

          pdx brings it down hard against the cops.

really? because PDX cops keep killing people for no good reason at all and nobody (including Sam Adams) ever does much of shit about it.

Fucking Humphries is still on the street carrying a gun after the Chasse incident. It took 4 incidents that were essentially murder AND a switch in who has Police Commissioner powers before Sizer got fired for having no control at all over her department, and when they tried to pull the cops involved in the Chasse incident off of the street and suspend or fire them, not only did the good citizens of PDX utter a collective yawn, but 600 or so police employees showed up yelling and protesting for the murderous officers to be fully reinstated with full back pay and no reprimand whatsoever.

We've had problems with cops here in Indianapolis lately too. One cop got off on a drunk driving charge because someone "accidentally invalidated" his breathalyzer and blood tests. Another was just exoneration by the merit board after beating the shit out of a 15 year old. Are cops everywhere getting worse or are we just getting more reporting on it lately?

Oakland is great, I loved living there.

Portland has an insanely corrupt government. It is fucking ridiculous how much graft there is.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

What part of Oakland you moving to, Net? I lived in Millsmont, right up the hill from Eastmont Mall.

My GF knows some people who will rent to us way below market price in the Montclair neighborhood while they travel for a year.

After that the plan is to stay in Oakland somewhere affordable until she finishes graduate school.

I'm guessing the latter.

REFERRING TO

          pretty regular protest activity here in pdx. albiet, folks here maybe don't resort to smashing in bystander/ innocent people's property when starting shit on fire in the street just isn't enough, like the cro-magnon dipshits in california.

the point of a good riot is not to express dissatisfaction with the situation. it is to stop society from working until the situation is resolved to your satisfaction.

ALSO

        all of that shit is covered (which is why you know about it) in the papers here daily and weekly. the cops are the local military, what are you gonna do about it?

PDX

         we got a gay mayor. he's in charge of all this.

WHICH

          is inevitably the result of mindlessly overspilling one's rage onto innocent people
