Oscar Grant aka Sean Bell, the ongoing sequel




I am from the Bay Area and everyone knows how the police are from Oakland to SF to San Jose... It's not a mystery. If you haven't heard about Oscar Grant, please use your computer wisely and Google him. This is the most disturbing thing I think I've seen in my life and made me cry as a grown man. I can't believe I just watched that happen and to think that all of these people were there as witnesses. It's hard to assume any sort of positive intent. How was this man a danger to the three armed police officers when he was down on his stomach with his hands behind his back? Where is the justice? I think it's beyond time for action. You want to be angry about something, be angry about this. Be concerned that this was someone's son, brother, friend and a young girl's father. As a father, I can't even begin to imagine my daughter's life without me in it. And these soulless human beings made a judgment that wasn't theirs to make. I can't wait for the right wingers to start talking about this one.

I'm beyond words at this point...

What's worse is this happens EVERYDAY and doesn't get recorded.
