So if you haven't heard, a 22-year old man was shot by a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) police officer in Oakland, CA on New Year's Day. The victim was handcuffed face down and shot in the back in public. Below is a video report of the incident with clips caught by bystanders using the video feature of their camera phone.
For some reason, the videos won't embed correctly. I'll try again later. For now, use the links.

Below is a video of the riots that have followed. Yes, RIOTS.

This is a video of a guy trying too hard to find some action. He finds nothing really (he got there late) but if you skim through the video (kind of long) you'll see some of the aftermath of the riots.
