WTF : The post should be charged with Terroristic Threats!

On a more serious note. What the FUCK is up with the New York Post? Are they serious? Did this thing really make it past the editor as being FUNNY? In the words of Tony Soprano " GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE". You can't possibly be serious. Who in GOD'S name thought this thing was going to get by unscathed? Or more to the point...Does the Post have so much disrespect for our new President that they felt it wasn't that big a deal? Face it people, BARAK OBAMA is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I have said it from day 1 that his election is not a sign that racism is dead. It's merely a sign of changes to come, but it WILL GET WORSE before it gets better. Racism is so deeply interwoven into this countries fabric that it will take more than President Obama's election to change that. I am so overwhelmed with anger on this one that it's hard to even write intelligently on it..soo...let me say this. How this is handled by the powers that be, The Post, The People of American, The Media ( excluding FOX of course )will shed light on what has hidden silently in the dark. I am talking about subversive racism hidden in every crevice that makes up the U.S. Keep watching people because this is going to be interesting.

Riots Break Out in Oakland Over Police Shooting of Unarmed Man

Riots broke out in Oakland, California last night following a peaceful protest over the senseless shooting of a black man by a white Bay Area police officer.

The officer, Johannes Mehserle, 27, quit the force yesterday rather than face questioning by the police internal review board investigating his shooting of 22-year-old Oscar Grant.

Routinely, police officers are required to face the board following incidents where deadly force is used. Mehserle’s attorney had asked the review board to postpone the questioning for a week but the board refused and scheduled the meeting for yesterday. Mehserle’s attorney and a union rep showed up without him and presented his resignation. The resignation was accepted and became effective immediately.

Here’s the problem: accidental shootings of blacks by police are rarely ever charged. The officer has not been arrested nor has he commented on the shooting which occurred in front of witnesses. By turning in his resignation he is not even required to give a statement.

Instead, he has been moved several times for his protection due to death threats.

It certainly doesn’t help the situation in Oakland to hear police investigators shrug off cell phone videos which clearly show Mehserle standing over the prone Grant and firing his service weapon into his back at close range.

Instead of swift justice, the police investigators offer excuses. The videos are grainy, they say. There are other mitigating factors to consider, they say.

The bullet from Mehserle’s sidearm passed through Grant’s body striking the concrete beneath him and ricocheting back into his upper torso, collapsing a lung. He died later at a local hospital. Grant leaves behind a 4-year-old daughter, a grieving family and a torn city left to wonder why.
