Now that Oscar Grant's Murder is a Joke

dj4monie · Jul 9, 2010

Are you upset enough now? Do you have your head so far up your woman's ass that you can't even see the injustice?

As I keep calling to task, where all the White Women on this forum with dark nappy headed children going to do about this?

How can you live with yourself every night you go to bed, your child, your husband or your boyfriend could be the next victim of malice or just out right cold blooded murder by an out of control justice system?

Are you going to stand up and do something? Are you going to call for Jerry Brown and Eric Holder to call this murder of ANOTHER unarmed, innocent Black Man a MURDER and punish this Cop accordingly?

Dear Friend,

On New Year's Eve, Oscar Grant was shot execution-style by transit
police officer Johannes Mehserle in Oakland, California. He was shot
in the back while lying face down on a subway platform, unarmed and
restrained by other officers.

Despite damning video evidence, it took nearly two weeks for the
District Attorney to arrest Mehserle and charge him with murder. The
DA admitted that it was only due to massive public pressure that he
moved even at that pace, pressure that included more than 20,000
ColorOfChange members speaking up.

That's why it's so important for each of us to commit to staying
involved. Johannes Mehserle's arrest is important, but it's only the
first step. In cases like this, history has repeatedly shown that as
soon as the public eye turns away the prospect of justice fades.

We need you--and so does Oscar Grant's family. Making sure the
prosecution does its job and pushing for much-needed reforms will
require your voice.

Are you in? Click below--it takes just a moment:

In 14 years as Alameda County District Attorney, Tom Orloff had never
before charged a police officer for an on-duty shooting. And when
asked, several legal experts were unable to come up with any examples
of officer-involved shootings becoming murder cases in California.

But overwhelming public pressure made it impossible for Orloff to
ignore Oscar Grant's murder. He said that "because of the intense
public interest I think more resources were put into wrapping this up
than would be put in in other situations." Orloff made it clear that
because enough ordinary people spoke out, he poured investigative
resources into this case that his record tells us he never would have
otherwise.

We've exposed a chink in the armor of a system that protects
trigger-happy cops instead of regular folks. Now there's a real
opportunity to create systemic changes that would introduce
transparency and accountability to police forces across California,
and especially to the BART Police Department. We need to keep the
pressure on Tom Orloff to make sure he keeps devoting time and energy
to Mehserle's prosecution.

Help honor the memory of Oscar Grant and others who have fallen victim
to police violence. Please sign up to stay involved in pushing for
justice in this case and for real accountability for police. Join me:

At first, I thought to myself who is this oscar grant. I , then, remembered and remembered how angry I was when I saw the tape. That officer ought to be sentenced to life.

to top things off, hater site says that his jury consisted of 7 whites, 3 latinos, 1 asian joint, and some knucklehead who declined his race...

I thought that juries in racially sensitive cases, had to be balanced (or something like that).

Why in the hell were there no black jurors?

you mean to tell me they couldn't find one nuc, to respond to his jury summons that week?

that case was setup in favor of that bastage

sorry to ask but why would the race on the jury matter if these people were unbias. This is a clear cut case from the video. He shot Mr. Grant dead.

This whole situation is awful and I am afraid it will only get worse. Tensions in that area have already been high but now with this whole tragic fiasco...shit is gonna hit the fan.

Shit is ridiculous. The cop shot his ass dead for no damn reason. Just throw is ass in prison. But the mufucka wanna pull that "I thought it was my taster" bullshit.
