With all the new money and attention focused on the streets of East Oakland then why do the murders continue to skyrocket? This past weekend there were 6 homicides, and for anyone living in the East you know that there was no shortage of police from various agencies in high numbers patroling the main thouroughfares such as International, Foothill and MacArthur. Extra police must not be the solution, but yet it is the only one getting any play. When will we demand results instead of more overtime and a police state atmosphere? Pulling over motorist apparently has no affect on crime or murder!

But be careful you are now a enemy of the city you are speaking to much since!!! See what they are failing to realize is the police only scare people who are concerned about the police(law abiding citizens)!!! More police will do nothing as I stated months on top of months ago! TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!! But for some reason all those degrees are doing nothing for our community!!! But they are sooooo smart!!! What you and I say does not mean a thing to them!!! When what we say they dont, but what they do has absolutely NO EFFECT on the violent crime rate(when do they realize what they are doing is not working)!!! When I speak on this matter it feels as if someone is standing on my chest or choking me takes my breath!!! Because no-one will listen and they are making all of the wrong decisions at the price of lives!!!

I feel sorry for kids today! They have neither bought a ten cent yoo-yoo, with ten cent string nor have they paid thirty cents to go to a movie. Growing up in Long Beach, it was easy enough for me to help tutor black high school kids trying to enter Long Beach Polytechnic's black faternity and sorority.

Being president of a company I helped create, and was given an opportunity to make out of high school $100,000 per year because I fulfilled my obligation by making my Junior Achievement company the best I could.

I saw first hand how White Cherokees stole, so black Cherokees never had to in Long Beach. Also growing up in East Palo Alto, I watched as thousands of black kids my age died on the streets, but now it has added more Hispanics, Tongans and Samoans to that growing list.

Fresno kids took it upon themselves to clean up the violence, but it happened! It is better now than it was then. They had a shootout where 200 guys were wounded and 80 died all in a stretch of five minutes. I do not recommend this for Oakland, but it may have to come to this! I always wanted to know who really was behind the murder of a black Republican businessman whom the SLA got the rap for!

I tried to tell the Tongans (online) never to go directly to East Palo Alto. With Tongan royals murdered there and an 18 year old female Hispanic whom San Mateo County wanted to take the fall though nobody connected either the Tongan driver's or the Tongan royal's murder to Nikola Tesla who murdered his mother in Serbia before fleeing to New York in America.

Tesla never invented a thing. He ripped off his benefactor's money, Tesla's benefactor took ill and died, he began an extra marital affair with his benefator's wife, then she also took ill and died, as Churchill with a satchel filled with America's inventions tried to pass it over to Stalin undetected, but those things never happen, as Germany and eventually Hitler were given America's future plans.

An East Palo Alto physical education teacher known at Ravenswood as Silver Buckle with his driver in Germany during World War II, discovered a man-made mountain that had the first known prototype of a jet inside. Libertarians legally have protected those who cause earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, cyclones, twisters as well as trains, airplanes, buses and automobiles to crash by way of a computer controlled magnetic levigational device.

You'll have to excuse me, but exactly what is your solution?  I wonder if it is as harsh as the one I have in mind.

The check points have helped and so has random stops, this is why the police have been havin them. They've caught many youths and young adults (that I know and know of) "dirty", which is why some take the police on high-speed chases while the rest simply get their adenaline up (thinking they're playin cat n mouse w/ the police in one their video games).

Most everything is based on results. If something you are doing is not netting the desired results then you must rethink your approach. Constantly running check points will clean up International but most of the murders and crime happen on other streets. 2 murders on Bromley. The check points work for the weekend on busy streets but what about the smaller streets and during the week. The gun buy back program saw gun dealers selling up to 60 guns, that were not worth what they were paid for nor those that would be used in crimes. Yes the police serve a good to the community but they must become more visionary and not have such one track minds. After all they are in a union and one goal of all unions is to increase membership, ie hire more cops.

If Whites got rid of blacks in Europe 654 ago, then why would they ever come up when investigating black on black crimes?  This only happens when the White sheriff in Atlanta got convicted for ordering black cops to shot the new black sheriff that beat him in a fair election.  Everybody knows how racist Georgia is!

from what i've seen on the news and read in the paper, it appears that the motives that stand out for the rash of killings are gang and drug related killings, arguments and retaliations.  we don't know how bad it might have been if not for the police involvement.  perhaps their efforts to identify more of the involved parties and make additional arrests have prevented additional mayhem.  the police and community need to work together to get drugs off the street.  i think the drugs are the root cause for much of this violence.

Let us take Tacoma, Washington, and try to apply it to Oakland, as a concrete example of what may be socially going on.  Everybody has heard about Ted Bundy and how he was executed in Florida, yet after following what was going on in Georgia the next state up, seemed to not ring any alarms, as murders that connected again Tacoma, Washington shot all the way up the eastern seaboard to Washington, D.C. [Beltway Snipers].  

Nonetheless, Beaulo was also thrown into the mix when he supposed traveled from Tacoma, Washington to Los Angeles as he wanted to gun down infants and toddlers who thought about one of his weapons being used in a murder and tracing it all back to Tacoma, Washington?  In other words, all of these murders or a longer string than we may realize can be connected with more, but nobody even the cops want to take the time and do it.

Another Greater Pacific Northwest flick captured by Hollywood is, "88 Minutes."  The glue that binds every piece together in this soon to be celebrated celluloid is a tattoo on everyone including taxi drives and cops.  Watch how Pacino gravitates from his earlier role as a New York cop in the unwanted by the cripo "Serpico" to that of him being thrown into the mix of street life justice with a super duper sidekick to order:  it's simply breath taking!
