and one in critical condition

After a manhunt ensued from a routine traffic stop of a 26 year old wanted for a parole violation.

His parole was for assault with a deadly weapon... hmmmmm

Change that... 3 dead.. 1 in critical condition....

sorry.

that's messed up.. I could never be a cop or fire man.. both are just too dangerous for the pennies they get paid

Man... that's terrible.

hey kitty, kitty...what are you doin up? no surprise in oakland. that place is not for the weak. its so rough and not in a good way

good....

That is pretty rough. Oakland is a tough town.

I feel for the families of those officers.

It is a job I could never do.

This is after all those uncalled for killings of civilians in Oakland by cops right? Sucks big time, lots of unneeded violence.

now i'd love to hear someone's explanation why there won't be riots by white ppl over this? (assuming at least 1 of the cops were white)

yep figs...

Whitey moves in silence and violence.

this is fucked up

Okland is wild west,that's terrible

And you guys wonder why they want to ban ASSAULT RIFLES??? LOL

the cops want to take them from you more than the Dems or Republicans :1orglaugh

more and more proof these guns are not used for hunting in America and the more these things occur the less chances youll have of keeping military weapons for backyard shooting.

that doesn'rt sound healthy

Fuck cops they knew the job was dangerous when they took it.

he was getting revenge for the bart shooting

Being a police officer is a dangerous job. If you are not careful enough you get killed. If you are too careful you get hung out to dry for using excessive force. All that for very low pay.

None of the cops I know would let themselves draw "routine traffic stop" duty in East Oakland if they could help it. It's a danger zone for that kind of work.

Yeah, fuck the people who keep your pretty gated community safe. Because everyone knows damn well that gate won't keep a determined criminal out. :disgust

Wait a second...this happened in Oakland, California? That can't be right. Assault weapons are banned in California. You can't legally get a gun with any more than a 10 round clip there. Not only that, in CA it's against the law to carry a loaded weapon inside your car like this guy did. How could a criminal go and flagrantly break the law like that?

Oh yeah, cause he a criminal and doesn't give a shit about gun laws. :1orglaugh

Kind of like the gangsters in L.A. County who are still somehow managing to get their hands on 100% illegal, fully automatic machine guns, and other military grade hardware. Yes, tough gun laws work. California is proof of that. :Oh crap

They don't do it for the money they do it for the "hero" tag and the POWER trip... :disgust

Shit like this happens all the time, but they only make big media events about it when there is a gun ban law getting ready for vote.... :mad:

the term 'assault rifle' is very broad - I don't know the exact definition, but Its not what you think it is. I have a 300 Winchester magnum in my closet, and all I ever use it for is hunting - if I cant eat it, I don't shoot it. it holds 4 rounds - 3 in the magazine and one in the pipe. Doesn't sound like an assault rifle does it? But there are people that believe it is. Hell, there are groups that think anything that holds more than one bullet is an assault rifle.
personally, I have no use for an ar-15, ak-47, or whatever. But if someone else wants to spend their money on that, no skin off my back. its a simple fact that, if these types of weapons are banned, or guns in general are banned, peaceful, law abiding citizens wont have them, but criminals will.

Yeah but they don't do it for the money.

I have a buddy who is working on becoming a fireman. He's a great guy, hard worker and he generally just wants to save people.

Sad news yet the cruel world we live in

Actually the title is correct because the fourth officer just died.

<sigh> I thought about that when after I corrected it. Sad..

How dare those dirty pigs pull over a black man for a traffic violation.

10 bucks say he's gonna resist arrest and they had to shoot him

:1orglaugh

Fucking idiot.

They die because to try to keep scum of the street so your ass is safe and this is your message to them?

I seriously hope the next time you are in need of cops they tell you to fuck off. I really do.

killa cali

may HIS soul rest in peace.

i need to find out his b-day, so I can celebrate.

Let me try and offer you some insigt into weapons control laws... Cross the border into mexico with a weapon and you get 15 years. NO MATTER WHAT. Get caught with a weapon and you get 15 years no matter what.. RIGHT NOW, I can go less than 5 mils from my home and buy bigger more powerful weapons than you can in the US. and they are so illegal here its amazing.

BAN THEM. It WONT stop them.
