The thugs in Oakland that protested violently and celebrated the murders of other human beings is barbaric, sub-human, and their behaviors lead to more hate and violence. The Oakland cop deserves blame in that equation too, of course.

And I'm saying that policing themselves over the years may have stopped a situation like this from occuring. The city has had a people vs cops element for a long time and that didn't happen by accident. Those people view the cops as enemies, and when you see them executing people, it's easy to see why.
