I'm going to the funeral. My dad is a police officer in the area. Second one of these I've been to the last 4 years. One of the most depressing yet awesome experiences you'll ever have. Similar to military funerals. Apparently our fine President may make an appearance...

To smooth things over I am sure, maybe he can talk about gun control

Man why even bring that up....you are just like the sheeple rallying

WTF??? This is one of the main arguments.

Because this (the new years shooting) is what people remember and would be a logical point of reasoning for one possibility of why people are being dicks and rallying for someone that obviously did a horrible criminal act. Not that I by any means condone this type of shit.. Why would you even question why "I would bring that up"??????//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

"Lovelle is a hero! Lovelle is a hero!" shouted a woman in the rally.

Demonstrators say Mixon was fighting back against what they see as an oppressive police force.
"I don't condone what he did, but karma comes around. What goes around comes around," said a man speaking to the crowd.

Many of those who chose not to take part in the march believe this tragic incident is a symptom of a much larger problem.

At Oakland's Youth Uprising center some teens want to open up a serious dialogue between the police and the community.

"I think coming together as a community and actually putting our ideas together and brainstorming," said T-Royal, from Youth Uprising.

Others say it's time to end what has become a culture of "Us against them."

"We need to learn how to be able to work together as one instead of all of us always feeling like 'I can't talk to them because he's a cop,' or 'I can't talk to them because she's a city official,' or 'I can't talk to that lady or that young man because they don't know what they're talking about they're not intelligent enough to hold a conversation,' and it's not always like that," said Martaina Hardeway, from Youth Uprising.

The small turnout at Wednesday's demonstration reflected the community's intolerance of Mixon's actions, but the incident has created a strong desire to improve relations between the police and the community.

The vigil for 26-year-old Lovelle Mixon, who police said was also linked by DNA evidence to the recent **** of a 12-year-old girl, drew outrage from many in the Bay Area.

Alameda County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. J.D. Nelson said he could not understand how people could rally in honor of Mixon.

"I can't get my brain around that concept," Nelson said. "Here's a guy who is a convicted carjacker, a murderer, and for people to rally around him, to me, is disgusting, and I think it's terrible."

The event organized by International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement, gathered participants in a parking lot on 73rd Avenue near the Eastmont police substation, within sight of the two locations where Mixon shot the veteran officers.

"I don't condone what he did, but it's bringing to light the frustrations between the community and the police," said Uhuru Movement member Kihad Deen. "This gives people a chance to speak their minds."

As the group walked through the street, they held photos of Mixon and signs that read, "Gone but not Forgotten." There were no officers patrolling the march route.

Mixon's cousin, Dolores Darnell, 26, addressed the small crowd, calling him "a true hero, a soldier."

"This is the real Lovelle," she said, holding a picture of a smiling Mixon with his wife. "We do apologize for what he did to the officers' families. But he's not a monster."

Pleasant Hill Police Chief Peter Dunbar, who spent almost 25 years working as an officer in Oakland, said that while the Mixon vigil was bound to chafe emotions already rubbed raw from the officers' slaying, the police would handle it with professional detachment and "shrug things off."

"You can't let that get to you," Dunbar said, adding that in its hiring the department looks for individuals who exercise restraint in volatile situations. "People are waiting for someone to go off, ready with cameras and everything else. But that department is much more professional than these activist agitators think."

Police said Hege and Dunakin were gunned down Saturday when the two motorcycle officers pulled over Mixon. In a manhunt that followed, Romans and Sakai died when the city's SWAT team stormed an apartment where Mixon was hiding.

Jason Hodge, a spokesman for Prayer Mission Christ Holy Church, located a block away from the spot where two of the officers were shot, said "there's just a real sense of concern about the number of young people we're producing with such harsh feelings toward police."

Hodge said members of the church generally feel that Mixon's personal problems, such as a lack of a solid family life, led to the shootings, rather than a problem with law enforcement.

"There's a real sense among members that things are getting out of control," Hodge said. "There's a total breakdown of family values being taught, and that's really what we think we see with this young man."

"We're hopeful that our city leadership will help get people unified and come up with solutions, because there seems to be a general lack of direction in Oakland right now," he said. "There's not enough support for the police, and we're the ones paying the cost."

Council president Brunner said city officials have talked about "what went wrong, and what can the community do so that we catch someone (like Mixon) ahead of time so it doesn't escalate to what happened."

Meanwhile, the state inspector general said Wednesday that Mixon was properly monitored by corrections officials after he was released from prison in November. Mixon was wanted on a parole violation when the shootings happened, although it is not yet known whether that was the reason Hege and Dunakin pulled him over on Saturday afternoon.

The Inspector General's office did an independent review of Mixon's parole for the state Corrections Department. The office said in a preliminary report that Mixon's parole officers "followed all appropriate supervision, drug testing, and even job assistance." It said officials also properly notified authorities after Mixon failed to check in with his parole officer Feb. 19.

"I'm proud of the work our parole agent fugitive apprehension team did in Oakland," Corrections Secretary Matthew Cate told the a state Senate committee during a hearing Wednesday. He did not elaborate, other than to acknowledge that there always can be improvements.

Sgt. Dom Arotzarena, president of the Oakland Police Officers Association, said Wednesday that the rank-and-file was trying to cope with the tragedy while preparing for a public funeral Friday at 11 a.m. that is expected to fill Oracle Arena, where the Golden State Warriors play.

"Everyone is devastated," Arotzarena said. "Everyone is trying to seek answers to it all, including, 'Why did this happen?'

"Our reaction is no different than anyone else."

Among those expected to attend Friday's funeral was a fifth officer who survived the shootout with Mixon after being grazed in the head.

Sgt. Pat Gonzales, an 11-year veteran of the OPD, said Wednesday through a spokesman that he was part of an "extremely close group," and lost not only four colleagues but also good friends.

Gonzales indicated he was finding solace by caring for the families of his slain friends.

"Since the incident, almost every waking hour has been spent arranging (funeral) details for the other officers who died," said Harry Stern, speaking on behalf of Gonzalez.

In Washington, D.C., Congressman Jerry McNerney honored the fallen Oakland officers in a tribute on the U.S. House floor Wednesday.

McNerney, of Pleasanton, praised all four officers, saying they "dedicated their lives so that we might live in safety."

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 133 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in 2008, a 27 percent decrease from year before and the lowest annual total since 1960. Of those, 39 officers were killed in firearms-related incidents, a decrease of 43 percent from 2007 and the lowest number since 1956.

The fund manages a national memorial in Washington that already carries more than 18,000 names. Romans, Sakai, Dunakin and Hege will be added to the roster in May 2010 during National Police Week, said Craig W. Floyd, the nonprofit's chairman.

Yes. Let's praise a carjacker, ****** and murderer. Mmhmm. Yeap. Eff the police. Next time your brother gets gunned down in the Rollin 100s don't even bother calling them. Just go get vengeance on your own. Continue the cycle cuz you know, you LIKE living in the ghetto.

"If we knew then, what we know now...we would have picked our own cotton." Sorry this topic really brings the racist out of me. I know there are some respectable African Americans on this site or even reading this as a guest. But honestly the other saying about "one bad apple spoling the bunch"...it's true. That goes for any race though.
