I got a text early this morning from my good friend quinne about what is going on right now in oakland. She also sent me a picture message of cops in riot gear. She told me BART officers had killed a man, and to google the name oscar grant, so I did.
here's the run down,
In the early morning hours of New Year's Day, an unidentified BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) officer executed an unarmed man on an Oakland train platform. oscar grant, who was being restrained by officers, was lying on the ground with two officers kneeling on top of him when one officer casually drew his service weapon and shot grant in the back, killing him.
there are videos of the incident that bystanders took, you can find them all over youtube, and I have two up on my website.
I have a more detailed blog about it on my website, seanherman.com
check it out.
thanks,
sean
