Bart Police shooting in Oakland KTVU report

January 9th, 2009

Fatal police shooting posted on YouTube
The footage is shaky and low quality, with chaotic shouts and protests from onlookers at a subway station in San Francisco's east bay. But it clearly shows three policeman roughly handling a group of young men – including one who is pinned to the ground by two officers and shot in the back. This shooting of 22-year-old Oscar Grant – who died later in hospital – has outraged many in California and triggered riots in Oakland in a case that many feel echoes the brutal beating of Rodney King by LA Police in 1991. www.guardian.co.uk As with all police brutality and police murders committed in the United States, the police officer in this case will not be prosecuted and will be found innocent of all wrongdoing. The police have the power to execute innocent people with total impunity and often do. The ruling corporate elite have granted this power to the police because they fear the people and want to grind them down and make them afraid.
