FUNERAL FOR 4 OAKLAND SLAIN POLICE OFFICERS

Incredible (over the top?) display of solidarity at the funeral for Mark Dunakin, Ervin Romans, Daniel Sakai and John Hege, the 4 officers killed by Lovell Mixon in Oakland, California. Complete with 21 cannon salute, helicopter fly over, and speeches by Governor Schwarzenegger, Diane Feinstein, and Mayor Ron Dellums.
According to some sources, close to 20,000 people showed up, many of them police officers from around the country. You've never seen so many cops in one place!
This is original footage, not from TV. No endorsement here, just an eyewitness report.

[@Slimer316]

High level respect shown for those 4 officers.

[@RSTAR2009]

I'm a proud US Naval and Army Veteran. Also, I was stationed at the now closed Naval Airstation in Alameda, San Francisco Bay Area. My respects to those fallen officers.

[@micacallahan8928]

[@jsassy63]

This was amazing! Loved how the other side of traffic stop and showed respect for the falling officers.

[@hipsu555]

Its more a traffic jam...

[@decembergirl121687]

Dude, you couldn't be more right. I am the daughter of a Toronto Police Officer, who has been on the force since 1975 and he has put his life on the line hundreds, if not thousands of times and you want to know something. PIG stands for (Pride Integrity Guts). Just in case you didn't know that. So the next person who calls a cop a PIG you can tell them exactly what it means.

MY CONDOLENCES TOO THE FAMILIES OFF THOSE OFFICERS.R.I.P.I'M FROM CALIFORNIA.SANTA CRUZ.

[@Jaketoynton26]

These are the people who come when you get robbed, or when you need help. Not every cop abuses his/her powers and most of them would risk their lives to save someone. Only a minority of cops give them a bad name and not every one deserves to be treated with hate, especially when they died trying to stop a dangerous killer. If any of who who comment with hate were there at the time, it was the police who would have saved you.

[@Jaketoynton26]

Actually thats not the case. On average in the U.S. Police response times are 10 minutes, so if you needed help 10 minutes would go very quickly and you would have a chance to defend your home, especially with the equipment available in the U.S. Secondly, how often does a killer just appear at your door? Not much. And if it happened you'd be dead as soon as you opened the door and would not have time to call the cops. In a real life situation such as a robber trying to break in, the police would arrive in 10 minutes to help, and if the robber escaped then the cops would try to find as much information as possible from you so they can try to catch him. I do not understand why people hate the police so much when at the end of the day it's law and order that stops mayhem on the streets.

[@Jaketoynton26]

Of course I'm taking sides and so are you. You're obviously very anti police and in no way impartial. Most of the work cops do is good and only a minority of officers cause problems and abuse their powers. Unless you are going to backup your argument with valid points you should keep quiet.

[@shovenbochvich5621]

They chose the job now just do your job

[@dotdot5714]

Jaketoynton26 that's because you've never lived in an underprivileged environment where the cops think your under them and look to torment and degrade you at any opportunity they can muster, if you did you'd hate them too and understand that cops of Beverly Hills are night and day compared to cops in Oakland

[@donaldgant3452]

Yeah, like the four little cowardly bitches who stood outside that Florida high school, put these little hoes on the grill.

But hey, if your ever being put in harms way and you cant defend yourself, dont call 911, you dont have the right after what you have said about officers here. Remember that.

People are the worst enemies of everybody. They save lives, sacrifice everything they have to protect us and instead of showing gratitude people kill them as if they were the bad guys. It is so so sad.

[@MoulfritProd]

You're only looking at one side of cops. There are too many avoidable killings by cops. The lack of, or wrong training leads to too many mistakes. I don't defend cop killing but I can't ignore the fact that too many people are getting killed by cops in situations that should be resolved differently, just like in other civilized nations.

[@imgod4309]

if I was a legit cop I'd be pissed if they let another cop off in 11 months for killing an unarmed victim. that would be a slap in the face to me (as a good cop) not to mention a concern for my safety but since no "good" cop stands up against the human right violations of the "bad" ones that argument is invalid. If they stick together then its just justice served.

My condolences to the families for their loss but this is a totally over the top. Shut down a highway for 4 officers? 21 CANNON salute? I'm sorry I didn't even see even 1/4 of that for my 2 friends killed in Iraq and returning to their hometown on the same day. Had a police escort in the back and front escorting the convoy and that was it. Still stopped at red lights still had assholes cutting across the convoy on the highway. Ridiculous.

I'm not comparing anything, I'm just pointing out that if merit at work was rewarded on efficiency then Cops would be at the bottom of the list. Is that really so hard to understand? I didn't even get into the crimes that Are Not reported because of the mistrust in the organization. Same mistrust has been a factor in their inefficiency as you helped me point out.

[@jaysonv2]

It's becoming so hard to have any more sympathy for fallen police officers in Oakland Ca. For too many years they have been shooting black people like Oscar Grant, the innocent as well as the guilty . But every time one of their officers fall in the line of duty we are suppose to weep, cry and honor them. You have to understand these gangsters, thugs criminals and even law abiding citizens are becoming more and more affair of the tactics of some police and are eventually going to shoot back.

[@freedomguard7822]

RIP OFFICERS, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS & FOREVER St. Michael's Prayer for Police Officers Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force. Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment. Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations. You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil, that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration. And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people. Amen.

The best way to answer an idiot is not answer them at all. You give them a platform for their disrespect,, useless way of life. They only see the acts of the Police, but yet refuse to acknowledge the acts of violence and actions of their thugs brothers and sisters. They don't care that the criminal community do more against the hard working men and women nor do they care about the rapes, murders, kidnappings, and robberies. They can't see that crime in the community causes the cost of goods and services to sky rocket. Car jackings, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs that results in vehicle accidents causes every individuals car insurance to climb. Home owner insurance goes up because of break ins. Because of their crimmial actions everything goes up as well. And they are to much of a idiot to understand that when that happens more Police Officers are hired. Instead of trying to get rid of them, they are working agains't themselves to replace the Police. You kill a Police Officer now a days and it's the death penalty for you so what did you gain, nothing. You took yourself away from your family for what, other than the fact that you wanted revenge. You feel that your way is the best way to get even when you need to understand that there is 750.000 to 850.000 Police officers across the United States. And for everyone Officer you kill, 5 more take their place. Don't give these idiots a platform to complain about what the police do.

Some people have had read about or have had experienced with bad police officers. It is a shame that out gvt is quite unfair when it comes to police prosecution. Until it is fair that police officers be prosecuted equally like all citizens of the U.S, then there will be less hatred for the police.

[@killyoubitch27]

@thedeadsox 'My record' pretty much consists of one speeding ticket and running a red light 5 to 6 years ago. I don't drink and I don't do drugs and I work two jobs. So that makes me a scum bag right? A lot of my disregard for the Police comes from watching videos on youtube. The camera works both ways. Maybe it's the law that needs to change not the the people.

[@4n0nym0us0ne]

@thedeadsox Sorry about the grammatical errors, I'm state edumacated, Duh. You're right about the lit classes at tech schools, once again you're tax dollars at work. I didn't say anything about "nice" areas, I said metropolitan areas, the opposite being rural which is when I would like to live.
