More Oakland Crime - Second Officer-Related Shooting In Eight Days

I really get sick of posting this, but it's part of the current "deai" in Oakland:

OAKLAND — A male was shot by an Oakland police officer at 9:55 p.m. Friday at 24th and Adeline streets in West Oakland.
The victim was transported to a local hospital. His condition is unknown.
Police are not releasing any information on the officer involved in the shooting.
This the second officer-involved shooting in eight days and the eighth this year. Mack Woodfox, 27, was fatally shot by police after an attempted traffic stop July 25.

This is a tough area. I suspect the Woodfox shooting was a bad one. We will see. Shooting an unarmed man in the back is not something to be lightly countenanced.

On the other hand, violent felons with gun who get shot after not obeying orders or running don't get a lot of sympathy from me. Every case needs to be looked at.

Is it disturbing? You betcha, four shootings in two weeks is disturbing to everyone.
