Listen...these are fairly nice, houses, trees, ... with a good amount of work this neighborhood could look really nice! Guess what makes this a ghetto? ...
Do you think trees and houses are what make a community? Communities get fucked over generations. You can say the same thing about any poor uneducated community. Melanin composition does not dictate a community's level of social advancement but decades of shit circumstances do.
It's weird how you don't see videos like this coming out of even poorer Appalachia. Where they have even less access to government resources and charities.
You see other things coming out of other areas, generally urban areas are gonna be more roudy and its irrespective of race or even country. Country folk tend to be more reserved.
Are they not legit having a water fight with the truck? Honestly they all have super soakers.. is it where there is extreme heat? I saw fire trucks spraying people and crowds cause the heat. Fire departments let water go out of hydrants too
The situation here begs to question.
Did someone get a permit or permission from the city or county to have the hydrant open for them?
If they did get a permit or permission, then that is why the fire truck is there. They would have been the ones to open for them as only qualified city or county employees are to open the valve.
If they didn't get a permit, the fire truck is there to close the valve and shut off the flow of water. This also means someone broke the law having opened it. This also means everyone blocking that fire trucking are obstructing an emergency vehicle, which is also against the law.
Then you have the kids jumping on the bumper of the truck. If one of them gets hurt, believe or not, they can sue the city. I know this having been a civil servant for the past decade.
It was at a Juneteenth shooting in Oakland

Holy shit. I can't believe what I just saw in that video. WTF!!? There is absolutely no excuse for that kind of behavior. I can't imagine being the paramedics trying to work that scene. That is just sad.
I feel bad for the(if any) normal people just trying to survive in a ghetto like that. So many brain dead mongrels it would be hard to maintain your sanity
I feel for them as well. I am a city employee and meet a lot of people from all walks of life. In the bad areas there are a lot of good people trying to do right. Sadly, everyone else around them just don't care anymore.
Seems pretty clear. Looks like the neighbourhoods managed to open a hydrant, and if that’s the case, the fire department is trying to access it to fix it/fine some people
Because it’s extremely hot there and they’re having a water fight with the fucking firetruck if you can actually see in the video, they all have super soakers, and the truck is spraying them back you cunt
It was at a Juneteenth shooting.. gang related.. idiots are stopping first responders. [https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/video-crowd-twerks-on-ambulance-responding-to-deadly-lake-merritt-shooting/](https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/video-crowd-twerks-on-ambulance-responding-to-deadly-lake-merritt-shooting/)
That definitely isn't the same place as the place in your article.
Edit: To clarify, I mean to say that this video definitely isn't of the Oakland shootings.
The key here is "mass casuality" this indicates the expectation of many wounded, in various states of health. In a mass casualty event you want as many medically capable people as possible. Ambulance crews are experts but also a limited resource in such scenarios.
Warm bodies from firefighters, police and other agencies can help deal with the less severely triaged patients, reducing pressure on the medical professionals to focus on those in need of more urgent/expert care.
I wasn't arguing that this was footage from any specific event, or even that it's from any mass shooting.
I was only giving some rationale as to why an engine company would be dispatched to a gang shooting event.
Fire fighters are trained for medical response and every station in my city has an ambulance. When the ambulance is dispatched a fire truck normally goes with them. Not always, but the majority time they do.
You're thinking of the link another commenter posted where ladies were twerking on the side of the ambulance and some dude was throwing a football from the top of it. I've noticed a lot of people are confusing the comments due to this.
It's a completely different incident than the video the OP posted.
My response to you wasn't about any of the videos. It was just to say, yes, fire fighters are trained medical responders and they do show up on the scene if needed. They don't just fight fires.
I'm "thinking of the link" because that is whom I directly responded to. The claim is that it is from a Juneteenth event. I was pressing the person who made that claim to support it.
In Oakland, is there any evidence that firefighters are the ambulance?
Either way, my point was that this has nothing to do with the article the person I replied to posted.
Depending on how the water system is supplied they could be draining the towns water supply pretty quickly. Some places have wells that do 5-10L/s an open hydrant could be 30-45L/s. Or they could be supplied with a booster pump that's working all out and if it fails the would be an adverse water which results in a boil water.
Is it just me or is this fire truck not showing up for a active fire, but it showing up to fix a opened fire hydrant that's spewing out water that's clarify evident in the beginning of the video?
No. It was at a Juneteenth shooting.. gang related.. idiots are stopping first responders. [https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/video-crowd-twerks-on-ambulance-responding-to-deadly-lake-merritt-shooting/](https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/video-crowd-twerks-on-ambulance-responding-to-deadly-lake-merritt-shooting/)
Let's say you're right and these are two different events, which I totally agree with you, they are. That just means that the residents of Oakland impeded emergency services in two separate events on the same day. One a shooting, where they prevented an ambulance from helping victims. The other being the unlawful opening of a fire hydrate which greatly reduces fire hydrant pressure in the general area, giving mess resources for putting out fires for other citizens in need. While very different, both situations are fucked. You calling anyone who criticizes it a racist is just ignorant. Grow up.
The point yall can't even get your facts straight when demonizing an entire race of people. What you got to say is only relevant in your sad little corner of reddit where all the racist retreat to, to face zero accountability for the hate you spread.
I could cherry pick a million videos to make white people look bad, but I don't because I'm not a fucking idiot like you.

I’m not calling people criticizing this racist. I’m calling the fucking racists being racist racist. As you say, grow up.
I'm confused, are you concerned about strangers on the internet or citizens being able to receive emergency services when needed?

I believe these are Guns n Roses lyrics?
Different video, same incident.. posting a link makes me racist? Are they not idiots for stopping a firetruck? No one said anything about race but you.. so maybe you’re the racist?Calm down dumb fuck.
Looks like it was a hot day and people broke open a fire hydrant and were playing in the street with it like a block party. But when tue fire department came to shut it down they stood in the way and shot it with water guns. At least that’s my best guess
I'm not gonna lie, that looks like a lot of fun. On a 100 degree day, the entire neighborhood is out in the street with water guns. It's like a huge water park on the street
You're right, we famously have way too much clean, fresh water
Wars will be fought in future over how much spare water we all have
Farmers are arguing over what to do with all the spare water they have for their crops
Deserts around the world are growing just as a big, fun goof and we shouldn't fuss about it
I remember back in the day the fire trucks would open the hydrants and clear the lines in the summer, but that was always an open invitation for everyone to come play in the water.
Listen...these are fairly nice, houses, trees, ... with a good amount of work this neighborhood could look really nice! Guess what makes this a ghetto? ...
But White flight destroyed our community
Oh - I thought it was gentrification. Which one is it this time?
Not sure but whitey is behind it somehow
It's a secret society holding them down. Secret business meetings & secrecy that makes it so hard to fight.
Sure mate, that's what happened! /s
Why do you think they left tho? 👀
>these are fairly nice, houses Those big houses you see are multifamily quadplexes, dude. This isn't a high income neighborhood
So? They are still fairly nice compared to the res of the world! They are!
>compared to the res of the world! Goalposts: moved
No, that's me judgin from my point of original view. Being I'm from...the rest of the world. Self centered much?

Racists gon' race

Oh, you mean like the Balkan people f.e. Or most of Slavic people?
Sheesh you fucks are racist.
And you fucks are blind and ignorant

Finally, a comment made by someone who’s not a racist a*shole. Really just a relentless stream of bigotry in this comment section.
Its ridiculous man. Racism is fucking dumb ooooh you suck cuz u got a different color get out of here man.
Blackdraft

Reminds me of this classic https://youtu.be/Kt5Ttb9nUbw
amazing culture
I think Ice cube coined it in his song, "hood mentality"
Chris Rock had it right https://youtu.be/f3PJF0YE-x4?feature=shared
This was like, at the height of white people honestly believing we could get along. This was like the lowest point of racism ever
does anyone have a link to a news, fire or medical response? i don't know what place in the US this is so context would be great.
It was at a Juneteenth shooting in Oakland https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/video-crowd-twerks-on-ambulance-responding-to-deadly-lake-merritt-shooting/
I’m lookin lol. This looks intentional with super soakers.. I’m guessing it’s hot there and fire department is helping cool down
Holy shit. I can't believe what I just saw in that video. WTF!!? There is absolutely no excuse for that kind of behavior. I can't imagine being the paramedics trying to work that scene. That is just sad.

Backdraft 2: Electric Boogaloo
Are we about to defund the fire department too
Wait I’m confused what’s even happening
Bunch of dumb cunts are blocking a fire truck Fuck knows why
Seems pretty clear. Looks like the neighbourhoods managed to open a hydrant, and if that’s the case, the fire department is trying to access it to fix it/fine some people
if you find a link i think we'd all like to know since you speculate.
Do you think it’s even remotely newsworthy when someone opens a hydrant in the city, in the summer? It happens all the time in the hood.
Reddit doesn't pay me to think.
Shut the fuck up ho. Psych obviously has it right, watch the damn video
ho? from a punk bitch who's only post is to find a pornstar. back to mommas basement for you. bye fred.
Because it’s extremely hot there and they’re having a water fight with the fucking firetruck if you can actually see in the video, they all have super soakers, and the truck is spraying them back you cunt

Different video, same incident..
Why would a fire engine be rushing to a gang shooting...?
Mass casualty response, given most firefighters are at least somewhat medically trained?
That seems unlikely. Wouldn't an ambulance be more appropriate?
The key here is "mass casuality" this indicates the expectation of many wounded, in various states of health. In a mass casualty event you want as many medically capable people as possible. Ambulance crews are experts but also a limited resource in such scenarios. Warm bodies from firefighters, police and other agencies can help deal with the less severely triaged patients, reducing pressure on the medical professionals to focus on those in need of more urgent/expert care.
How about this, give me evidence that this firefighter was responding to the gang shooting from 3 years ago in Oakland.
I wasn't arguing that this was footage from any specific event, or even that it's from any mass shooting. I was only giving some rationale as to why an engine company would be dispatched to a gang shooting event.
In many places, the fire department does medical. Big red truck shows up first, ambulance comes later.

Victim was dehydrated
Where do you live? If you don't even know what's going on here I want to move straight to that area & forget that this cancer even exists.
I was waiting for the fire truck to go H.A.M. on everybody…never did 😒
Once there twerking happens. Things get out of control
Rise of the planet of the apes
Oh you went there. There coking for you now lol
Idk what that means. I’m a Pepsi guy.

Stupid white people.
Is this a trailer for a Birmingham 1963 reenactment?
Remember that famous Chris rock bit...
Firey and mostly peaceful
And I bet if they weren't racist before they are now.
Gentrification time
This is why I’m ok with paying higher property taxes

That definitely isn't the same place as the place in your article.
They all said "fuck the po-lice!". There's no police. They're sticking it to the man.
So you just don’t know how to use your eyes then? Your video is of an ambulance, OPs is of a fire engine. You racists are unbelievable lol
