Riot over Oscar Grant lll death on New Years Day

People in California are tired of justice not being served and began to riot as a result of the shooting death of Oscar Grant lll on New Years Day. BART police talked about brand new patrol cars being destroyed but not why the incident had occurred.

In no way is the riot justified, but sit and think about why citizens sometimes feel that things along these lines are end results. Both parties are wrong, but one incident could have been prevented if justice had instantly been served. Unfortunately, this riot may also being credited to African American behavior.

One thing that is important for African Americans to remember is that we are judged, people in general are judged according to behavior. If we present our rage and disgust for the issue this way, it doesn't do anything but cause more problems. However, if we take that rage and disgust and exemplify it professionally, the results tend to be better and more respected. This is something to keep in mind.

Below is the video of the riot happening in California.
