Tragic Oakland PD Deaths Cheered, Called "Payback for Oscar Grant"

Four Oakland police officers have been slain, and the perpetrator killed, in what has been called the worst day in the history of the Oakland, California Police Department. Despite the fact that these men had families and put their lives on the line every day, it has been reported that onlookers cheered the incident. Why, and why has mainstream media not picked up on this?

I'm confused. Did that story say two of the swat officers were killed when they stormed the barricaded suspect? I thought those guys were armed/armored like soldiers.
