| Protest Over Police Shooting In Oakland Turns ViolentThu, 08 Jan 2009 09:39:48 -0800 by TheSexyPatriotA protest over the fatal shooting by a BART police officer of an unarmed black man mushroomed into several hours of violence Wednesday night as demonstrators smashed storefronts and cars, set several cars ablaze and blocked streets in downtown Oakland.The roving mob expressed fury at police and frustration over society's racial injustice. Yet the demonstrators were often indiscriminate, frequently targeting the businesses and prized possessions of people of color.They smashed a hair salon, a pharmacy and several restaurants. Police in riot gear tried to control the crowd, but some people retreated along 14th Street and bashed cars along the way.The mob smashed the windows at Creative African Braids on 14th Street, and a woman walked out of the shop holding a baby in her arms."This is our business," shouted Leemu Topka, the black owner of the salon she started four years ago. "This is our shop. This is what you call a protest?"Wednesday night's vandalism victims had nothing to do with the shooting death by a BART police officer of Oscar Grant on New Year's Day - but that did little to sway the mob."I feel like the night is going great," said Nia Sykes, 24, of San Francisco, one of the demonstrators. "I feel like Oakland should make some noise. This is how we need to fight back. It's for the murder of a black male."Sykes, who is black, had little sympathy for the owner of Creative African Braids."She should be glad she just lost her business and not her life," Sykes said. She added that she did have one worry for the night: "I just hope nobody gets shot or killed."The protest had started calmly shortly after 3 p.m. at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland, where BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle shot 22-year-old Grant of Hayward a week ago. BART shut down the station well into the evening commute, although the demonstration there was peaceful.However, shortly after nightfall, a group of roughly 200 protesters split off and headed toward downtown Oakland, prompting the transit agency to close the Lake Merritt and 12th Street stations. The group wreaked havoc through much of downtown, drawing hundreds of police in riot gear. It wasn't until roughly 10:40 p.m that police clamped down on the mob, arresting dozens who were cornered near the Paramount Theatre, and bringing an end to the mayhem.Earlier in the evening, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums met the mob on 14th Street, urging calm and leading them on a walk to City Hall, where he gave a speech."I sense your frustration," he told the crowd. "I understand that you've lost confidence in a process because you've seen what you believe is a homicide ... But listen to me, we are a community of people. We are civilized people. We are a nation of laws.Dellums told protesters that he had asked the Oakland Police Department to investigate the shooting. "I have asked Oakland police to engage in a fair, parallel investigation, the way you'd investigate any homicide in Oakland," he said. "If that leads to an arrest, that's what it would lead to.""I'm asking people to disperse," the mayor said to the couple hundred people in the crowd. "Let's leave in a spirit of peace."But soon after, a man shouted "that's the modern day lynching" and the mob quickly continued its rampage, smashing at least seven storefronts on 17th street between Franklin and Webster streets. They also smashed eight cars, including four belonging to the City of Oakland.Other protesters marched on BART's 12th Street Station about 7 p.m., prompting the transit agency to close the downtown hub station even as it was reopening the Lake Merritt and Fruitvale stations.The mob blocked the intersection of 14th and Broadway, near the downtown BART station entrance. As police put on helmets and gas masks and stood in a line formation, some demonstrators held signs that read, "Your idea of justice?" and "Jail Killer Cops."

| Bobcats-Cavs 81-111 I Felton 15pts vs James 21pts,4ast,2blkThu, 08 Jan 2009 09:38:25 -0800 by 1EDmanLVCLEVELAND, January 7,2009(AP) -- LeBron James and a few of his teammates hung around after their postgame showers and watched the final minutes of Boston's game against Houston on TV.They'll see the Celtics in person soon enough.The NBA champions are coming. The Cavaliers are ready.James scored 21 points before grabbing an early seat on the bench, Mo Williams added 15 and Cleveland warmed up for its highly anticipated matchup with Boston by blowing out the Charlotte Bobcats 111-81 on Wednesday night, raising the Cavaliers' record at home to 18-0.19-0 isn't a given.On Friday, the Celtics will arrive for a game pitting the Eastern Conference's premier powers, a rematch of last season's heated seven-game conference semifinal and a possible tease of what could come this spring. Boston holds a 1-0 edge this season after beating Cleveland 90-85 at home in its opener, when the green-and-white raised their 17th title banner beforehand as the Cavs waited in their locker room."They got us up there,'' Williams said. "It's our turn. It's payback time.''It's only January, but it will feel like June."I can't sit here and say it's another game,'' James said. "We're just looking forward to the challenge. If we want to be the best team, we have to beat the best. Boston is the best until somebody takes their crown.''The Celtics (29-8) have slipped since opening the season 27-2, and their 89-85 loss to the Rockets on Tuesday night was their sixth in eight games.But James, who rested the entire fourth quarter against Charlotte, expects Boston to bounce back soon."It's not the end of the world they've lost a few. They'll get it together,'' he said. "I bet they won't come in here on Friday sluggish.''As he watched the Celtics lose, James gave a running commentary. He smiled at a rebound and putback inside by Yao Ming and questioned a long shot by Rafer Alston."What are you doing?'' James moaned.Daniel "Boobie'' Gibson and Wally Szczerbiak scored 15 apiece and Anderson Varejao 14 as Cleveland shot 60 percent from the floor and improved to 28-6.Raymond Felton led Charlotte with 15 points and Gerald Wallace had 14 for the Bobcats, who went 0-3 against the Cavs this season losing by an average of 22 points per game."We never competed a lick,'' coach Larry Brown said. "There's some players that some of our guys play against they don't think they have a chance. If you look at our history, maybe that's why you don't win. You don't expect to win. The first minute of the game, you look out there and feel like you've got no chance. It's disappointing.''It was James' first game since he was whistled for traveling in the closing seconds of a loss on Sunday in Washington. James contests that his "crab dribble'' move is legal despite the fact that he took at least two steps after he stopped dribbling. There was nothing to debate or overanalyze frame by frame as he and the Cavs made easy work of Charlotte.The Bobcats beat the Celtics 114-106 in overtime on Tuesday, but there was no time to celebrate as they had to board a plane and take on the just-as-tough Cavaliers."Playing Boston and then playing against Cleveland, it's like playing in the Big East,'' joked Brown.The Cavs made Charlotte look rather collegiate from the start, racing to a 12-point lead in the opening minutes as James drove to the basket at will.Brown wasn't sure who would guard James."We'll probably draw straws,'' he cracked.Wallace pulled the short one and couldn't contain James, who scored 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting in the first quarter. Cleveland's All-Star ended the period by hitting an off-balance, 22-foot jumper at the horn to give the Cavaliers a 29-12 lead."They played harder, they played better, they wanted to win more,'' Brown said. "The first play of the game, the game was over in my mind. LeBron just dribbled in and laid it up like nobody was guarding him.''With James on the bench, Cleveland blitzed the Bobcats with a 14-2 spurt to open the second and pushed the lead to 43-14. The Cavs were still up by 22 by the time James checked back in with seven minutes left in the half.Notes: The Cavs were sure to end the night with no worse than a share of the league's best record. It's the first time they've had that distinction since 1989.Made by NBA TV.
