that was ridiculously well put...righton the money. i didnt even realize that one of the reasons that i am so frustrated and mad and practically crying is that the cop that killed oscar grant is not in any form of custody right now and hasnt even opened his f*cking mouth to defend himself or explain himself
definitely a ridiculous double standard....kill/hurt a cop, you are held to the strictest penalties and you probably "fall down" a lot when arrested and taken in...get killed/hurt by a cop, usually not a damn thing happens to the cop. It enrages me when crimes AGIANST the police are held to be more serious crimes than if ANYONE else is killed/hurt...that is bullshit, it seems that if you decided to become a polic officer, you know the score...you know what might happen to you...but somehow it is more of crime to harm a policeman, then it is to harm , say, an elderly person. WHY?
Any news on this?
I've only been to the Bay a few times, but I'm assuming a BART boycott is out of the question?

According to that, it's up to the DA to decide if charges need to be pressed.
And there was another march, this time in S.F.

I took some footage of the protest. A spokesperson for Ron Dellums come by...
Oscar Grant III Protest.
Oscar Grant III Protest.
Yes.
I just hope he pays dearly and ends up with a WHOLE lot more than some bullshit wrist slap. I have a feeling the department no longer has his back (due to his resignation). I'm thinking some of the officers involved in the situation were like "what the f*ck did you just do?!"
I know Moist'll probably jump on his "ZOMG! APOLOGIST!" tirade, but I'm willing to bet some of those other officers in that video are just as pissed as the general public. I don't care who you are, there is NO justifying what he did.

ZOMG! APOLOGIST!
has any background come out on the killer? did he have any past history of erratic, abusive use of force? someone must have looked into this.
about time he got arrested

ZOMG! APOLOGIST!
I was listening to Shade45 tonight (satellite radio in the rental-related) and both Kay Slay AND F.A.B. said the exact same thing...so take THAT, Moist!
