A man was shot and killed Saturday in Oakland, California, during a confrontation with Bay Area Rapid Transit officers and Oakland police, police spokesman Jeff Thomason said.
The incident occurred after Oakland police received a call about 8:15 a.m. (11:15 a.m. ET) of an armed man walking toward the Fruitvale BART station, according to Thomason. Police notified BART officers, who also responded.
BART officers were the first to reach the suspect, described as a Hispanic male between 30 and 40 years old, Thomason said. The BART officers chased the man from the station to the street, where Oakland police joined in the pursuit over four blocks in the Fruitvale area.
Thomason said Oakland police tried to Taser the man twice, but to no effect. The man, armed with two knives, then attempted to charge at one of the officers, a police statement said.

Why beat around the bush? These darker "noble" races know only violence as a way of life. It's genetic. No matter how much you dress them up, shine them up, present them in the media and movies as human, they aren't. They will revert to what they know. Churches need to stop importing them, the border needs to be closed and the situation cleaned up once and for all.

Fixed that for you.
Do you know how DNA works?
I'm absolutly amazed that so many idiots actually read the news. I thought we were moving forward toward less prejudice, but I was way wrong. We need a reverse hilter to wipe out all the ignorant racists. I really hope you idiots do not reproduce!!
Bring Slavery Back.
When oh when will the foolishness cease. Innocent people don't have a reason to run. The victims truly are the taxpayer who have to pay for all if this extra policing. Not getting any real return on their investment.
Wow, so many rednecks posting. The article could be talking about the wind blowing too hard, and one of you nazi punks, will go to race as a cause. Instead of defending brown, and black peoples... Lets just talk a minute about caucasians, and how they have infected the world we live in. Lets see... Slavery of other Humans. Spreading disease, and poverty. Breaking treaties, and mastering the art of how to tell lies. Treason against their Queen in jolly ole' England. Murder of innocent people of other races (WORLDWIDE). Stealing land from indigenous people of what you refer to as America. Eaves-dropping on citizens, and wire-tapping. Raping women of various races, to spread your demon seed to all corners of the Earth. Creating, and using chemical, biological, atomic, and nuclearweapons of mass destruction against humans. Creating a capitalistic society, out of goods, and monies derrived from slavery, that put the wealty in the USA where they are today (The Hamptons, and Hollywood). Caucasians brought roaches, rats, cats, dogs, and all the parasites connected with them. Caucasians also brought gangs to the USA, and all the "ghetto" slang associated with it. And the list still goes on. So, if you're a caucasian person, understand that, you are responsible for America's problems, from the very beginning of America.
Why set the ghettos on fire? This is the establishment's fault. Set the establishment on fire.
The Establishment? You've been watching too many hippie retrospectives dude.
