White males shootings pattern

You sound like you are black.

 

Okay, let's change it a bit. More than any other race on planet Earth, there are more blacks on drugs, shot dead, in prison or in jail percentage wise in the US. If you don't agree with this, then it is you who is the pathetic loser.

Oakland Seeking Answers in Police Killings
By JESSE McKINLEY

OAKLAND, Calif. — A day after four police officers were shot down in a rampage, the public and city officials struggled to understand how a routine traffic stop turned into one of the bloodiest days for police officers in California history.

“If we had a motive, we’d know why,” said Jeff Thomason, a spokesman for the Oakland Police Department. “And we want to know why.”

Mr. Thomason had no additional details about the investigations into the shootings on Saturday, which ended with the deaths of three officers: Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40; Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43; and Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35.

A fourth officer who was wounded in the shootout, John Hege, 41, was declared brain dead just before noon on Sunday at Highland Hospital, Mr. Thomason said. Officer Hege was being kept on life support as a potential organ donor.

Police officials identified the man who shot the four officers as Lovelle Mixon, a 26-year-old parolee. He was fatally shot by other officers.

The shootings, which spanned several hours and two blocks in the city’s east side, were the deadliest in the history of the Oakland police.

For the families of the slain officers, the deaths of their loved ones still seemed surreal.

“I had a phone call telling me my father was dead,” said Kristina Romans, 20, the daughter of Sergeant Romans. “And then they took me to the hospital.”

Ms. Romans said she had been given no more information about what precipitated the shooting.

State and local officials were also looking for answers.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger arrived at the Oakland Police Officers Association office on Sunday afternoon to offer condolences but had no comment to the news media on the shootings.

The city’s mayor, Ron Dellums — who accompanied the governor and the state’s attorney general, Jerry Brown, to the officers’ association — called on residents to “unite our hearts, rally our strength and dedicate our collective will to free our beloved city from the clutches of violence and despair.”

“Enough is enough,” Mr. Dellums said in a statement.

The shootings seemed to shock even the hardened veterans of the streets of Oakland, where gun violence is all too common. Geoff Martin, a paramedic who brought flowers to a growing memorial outside the police headquarters, said his colleagues had expressed an “outpouring of support and sadness” at the news.

“I had a couple of good cries,” said Mr. Martin, who had brought his wife, Susan, and their 8-month-old daughter, Audrey, to the memorial. “We all work the streets together.”

At the same time, a cousin of Mr. Mixon told The Associated Press that the gunman, who the police said had extensive arrest record, was “not a monster.”

“We’re devastated; everybody took a major loss,” said the cousin, LaTasha Mixon, 28, of Sacramento, who expressed sympathies to the police officers’ families. “We’re crushed.”

The shootings began just after 1 p.m. when two officers on motorcycles — Sergeant Dunakin and Officer Hege — stopped Mr. Mixon along a ragged strip of MacArthur Boulevard.

Mr. Mixon apparently opened fire there, killing Sergeant Dunakin and leaving Officer Hege struggling for life in the middle of the boulevard. Mr. Mixon then fled, sparking a manhunt.

About two hours later, an Oakland SWAT team cornered Mr. Mixon in a nearby apartment building, and more gunfire was exchanged. Mr. Mixon and two more officers died; a fifth officer was grazed by a bullet.

Those same streets were quiet on Sunday, though bouquets of flowers sat at the fronts of several structures, including the three-story apartment building where the final shootings occurred. At the Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church, down the block, the Rev. Keith A. Martin said his congregants — especially children — were shaken by the gunfire on a Saturday afternoon.

“This is what they see,” Mr. Martin said. “And this is what they have to deal with.”

A city of 400,000 people, Oakland has struggled with high crime and homicide rates. Its most recent police chief, Wayne Tucker, retired in January after coming under criticism for his handling of the force. Elected in 2006, Mayor Dellums has made priorities of officer recruiting and community policing, and he has claimed some success on both fronts.

That said, the shooting also threatened to add another uncomfortable chapter to the already strained relationship between Oakland’s black community and law enforcement, something amplified recently by the shooting of a young, unarmed black man by a white transit officer in West Oakland on New Year’s Day. In Saturday’s case, Mr. Mixon was black, and none of the police officers were.

The tensions were not far from the surface among some in the steady stream of visitors to the police headquarters. Marie Mason, a 35-year resident of Oakland and an African-American, said she had come to lay flowers and say a prayer to prove “not everybody hates police officers.”

“We appreciate what they do,” Ms. Mason said.

For others, the shooting brought even more immediate memories. Chris Soto, 31, lost his father, Miguel T. Soto, an Oakland police officer, in a similar shooting during a traffic stop in 1994. He had come with his sister, Michelle, to pay respects.

“We know what the family’s going through,” Mr. Soto said. “Every family that has had this happened knows what the families are going through.”

Those feelings would seem to resonate for those like Ms. Romans. In mourning for her father, she said she and relatives had convened at her father’s home in suburban Danville to grieve and remember. “The family is upset, but we’re going to make it,” she said “He loved his job. And he was very dedicated to it.”

 

It is called legacy of slavery...

 

It is called legacy of slavery...

150 years ago, time to get over it. Some of my more recent ancestors were overrun by Germans, it seems though that to sit around and blame my problems on that would be self defeating.

The fact is blacks don't compete well on a global scale, it's culture.

 

ZOG ducked this question so I am going to ask it again.

JEWS have it all.

Doesn't that blow up your theory about genetics, or are you admitting that JEWS are genetic superiors to whites?

JEWS have it all.

And what can you do about it besides whine???

 

How naive. Certain things have long term consequences. 150 years is nothing. Besides, end of slavery did not produce equality, did you forget about Jim Crow and segregation? Have you ever wondered why the upper class in Mexico for example is of "a much lighter shade" than a regular peasant?

I can tell you with absolute certainty that regardless of what demographic will constitute majority in the USA, 100 years from now Whites will still have most power/money/influence in the USA.

Generation from generation what family you are born into has a profound effect on the probability of staying in that circle. If you are born into a upper middle or upper class family, your parents are more likely to have a "thirst for knowledge" and will influence your study habits. You will go to a good public or even private schools and voila your SAT scores will be much higher. Your vocabulary will be broader because you will be more likely to read, your teachers will be more professional and competent, if any deficiencies develop, tutors can be hired. Even more importantly, by the time you apply to college, your parents' donations or where they went to school can create a "legacy status" for you which essentially means a green lane.

The end result in all of this is that even a person of utter mediocrity can get into and graduate from elite schools (George W. Bush). We hear republicans rail about affirmative action and "underqualified minorities" "taking spots away from better qualified students". What is even more profound and problematic, is "underqualified majorities", i.e legacy students taking spots from more qualified students. Do you hear the republican party bitch and moan about it? NO. Wonder why?

In simplest form, when your starting point is above average, you don't have to do anything heroic to live comfortably (and strive for greatness to).

Now for illustrative purposes, imagine a family of a single mother (who may or may not abuse drugs) with several kids and a dead beat dad. Living in a good neighborhood is out of the question. So are private schools, tutors, etc. In terms of probabilities, life is frequently won or lost before you are even born.

N.B It is about trends people. Long term trends. US GI Bill did more to US long term economic power than great many things.

 

"JEWS have it all."

How about humility?

How about peace with their neighbors?

How about peace of mind?

Seems that JEWS don't have it all...

Since Jews are members of the Jewish religion, and since any race can be Jewish...there goes your racist argument.

Atheistic Semites are not really Jews, they are just atheistic Semites...

 

There is biology, which is science, then there is racism which is what you are practicing.

Genetic traits being inferior or superior was the argument of the Nazis...

The right way to help the good Jews is to stop this foolish talk of genetics, which breeds anti Semitism, and understand that there are good Jews who follow the religion of Judaism, then there are atheistic secular materialistic Semites.
