Oakland: Fed. Protective Service officer killed, one injured in riots

A Federal Protective Service Officer (FPS) was shot and killed and another was injured on Friday in Oakland, Calif. during violent rioting and anarchy in the streets over the death of George Floyd.

The shooting occurred at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building, according to the FBI's San Francisco office. A vehicle approached the building and did a drive-by shooting at the security officers.

“The FBI has deployed investigators and the Evidence Response Team to the crime scene,” the agency said in a statement. “We will continue to work this investigation alongside the Oakland Police Department.”

Hopefully, they will find this person and he or she will violently resist arrest and be dealt with in the manner they deserve.

The Federal Protective Service is part of the Department of Homeland Security and is responsible for protecting more than 9,000 federal facilities across the country.

According to the DHS website, the FPS’ mission is “to prevent, protect, respond to and recover from terrorism, criminal acts, and other hazards threatening the U.S. Government’s critical infrastructure, services, and the people who provide or receive them.”

Around 1,000 anarchists [they are not protesters] in Oakland smashed windows, sprayed buildings with “Kill Cops” graffiti and were met with chemical spray from police, who said several officers were injured by projectiles. The police, for their part, showed great restraint.

Perhaps that's the problem.

It is not known whether the shooting was directly linked to the protests in which former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd, a black man.
