Shortest article ever. The comments are funny, though:

Will the riots be on CNN this time?
 
2010-07-17 09:10:23 PM
This will be worthy of oversight.
 
2010-07-17 10:45:25 PM
Riots pleaseohpleaseohplease.

/California cops are kinda dicks, it seems
//Might also extend that to most other cops.
///Doesn't hate all police, because that's just farking stupid.
 
2010-07-17 10:45:53 PM
Worthless article, because all the statements are filtered through the police spokesman.
It's like trusting NK's press.
 
2010-07-17 10:47:11 PM
The man, armed with two knives, then attempted to charge at one of the officers, a police statement said.

So in a city with a police force that just shot someone for no reason, you give them this good of a reason?

saw a guy get tasered on the LA subway a few weeks ago. wasn't pretty but drunk people do stupid things. mess with the bull and you get the horns, CA cops don't take that shiat lightly.
 
2010-07-17 10:49:10 PM
At least he wasn't handcuffed and laying down at the time.
 
2010-07-17 10:49:38 PM
It's just a Mexican. Who cares?

/I'm a Spic.
//Doesn't care.

I'm truly sorry for the community's lots.

This is why you never bring a knife to a gunfight.
 
2010-07-17 10:51:07 PM
There are parts of the BART system I won't even go on.
 
2010-07-17 10:51:35 PM
I guess he proved it's also a bad idea to bring *two* knives to a gunfight.
 
2010-07-17 10:53:15 PM
Can't we all just get along?
 
2010-07-17 10:53:38 PM
Here we go again...
 
2010-07-17 10:53:53 PM
Shot in the back (unarmed) vs charging with 2 knives,...totally the same.

I am not sure what the initial police comments were after the rior shooting.
 
2010-07-17 10:54:09 PM
Threaten a cop with a weapon, expect to be taken out. One less Slimeball.
 
2010-07-17 10:54:15 PM
A man was shot and killed Saturday in Oakland, California, during a confrontation with Bay Area Rapid Transit officers and Oakland police, police spokesman Jeff Thomason said.

Of course the NAACP would snap if the article dare say it was a black man. Just admit it , some thug in the hood found out what happens when keepin' it real goes wrong.
 
2010-07-17 10:56:20 PM
good thing no one did anything rash like pulling all the guns off the BART cops or the article would read "Two BART cops killed by knife wielding maniac".
 
2010-07-17 10:56:53 PM
"It's coming right at us!!"

/Sure he was, officer.

More likely some guy with a mental illness. Hood thugs aren't dumb enough to go all stabby stabby on someone who's gonna go all shooty shooty.

=============================================

I know. You're not a bigot. Those black people just rub you the wrong way, right?

/NAACP is not mentioned in the article.

Not even two knives. But apparently, two knives to a taser fight is cool.

Yeah it was.
 
2010-07-17 11:05:45 PM
I am sure that regardless of what happened, it will still only be a "local" story to NMSM.

First of all, the victim was Hispanic.
Second, the NAACP is not mentioned in the linked article, or the original on CNN.

I don't think mexicans riot.

This is only a synopsis. There is a link at the end of the article for the full story.

Man, why am I posting on Fark and not cnn.com? Their comments are awesome:

James Earl Jones
This is CNN.

dumbdarks
Why are black people, well, uneducated black people, so quick to just ruin their own neighborhoods? We need a new Hitler, to rid us of the Ghettos.

Copslove
Again ?! Damn coppers ! Killpolice com


Awesome.

Actually, they could teach Oakland a thing or two about how a real riot is supposed to happen.

Gotta be careful around the police. Most of them get scared real easy and tend to do shiat like this.
 
2010-07-17 11:12:35 PM
How did this happen in the future? It's 8:11 in San Francisco...pretty sure it's the same time in Oakland.

Beausefus0103: How did this happen in the future? It's 8:11 in San Francisco...pretty sure it's the same time in Oakland.

It's 8:15 PM in Oakland right now.
The call that sparked this incident was made 12 hours ago.

They do, but they do it real slow.

He was Hispanic, not black. Not sure why you care so much, though.

Toxicphreke: good thing no one did anything rash like pulling all the guns off the BART cops or the article would read "Two BART cops killed by knife wielding maniac".

The confrontation ended with Oakland police, not BART police. They're two different police departments.

Hey, 2-4 years for murder is a f(ucking deal. I think everyone should cash in on this offer.
 
2010-07-17 11:29:08 PM
The guy had 2 knives. So instead of the police, what if he had ran into someone else, say for example, you?

Really? Version I read has "Two BART police officers who happened to be in the area spotted a man matching the description of the suspect and tried to stop him." And ending with "Three Oakland and two BART police officers shot the man". So if news had posted that BART officers had no firearms, the corpse may have charged them instead of running from them.
