Oakland Man Killed By BART Officer
Filed under: Black Blogger Postings, Blog Entries, Community, Legal, Society & Culture
The Prospector at blackmediamine.blogspot.com sent me a link to his site about a shooting that occurred on New Year’s Day when a Bay Area Rapid Transit Officer killed an unarmed Oscar Grant during an arrest. There’s a lot of speculation about what happened, but thanks to a witness the shooting was caught on camera phone video.
I saw some of this on CNN, but the Prospector also has some informative links on his website for you to check out. I heard the officer had the taser and gun switched on his hip and pulled the gun by mistake. The police have a difficult job when they’re on patrol, but they have to be held accountable for mistakes like this. However it turns out, an innocent life was lost and a family is in mourning.
