Hip Hop Activist reports via vlog on the one year memorial of Oscar Grant. In case you were unfamiliar with the Oscar Grant story here’s a quick summary according to wikipedia:
“The BART Police shooting of Oscar Grant was a fatal shooting in Oakland, California, United States, in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 2009.[1] Responding to reports of a fight on a crowded BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train returning from San Francisco,[2] BART Police officers had detained Grant and several other passengers on the platform at the Fruitvale BART Station. Mehserle stood, drew his gun and shot Grant once in the back. Grant was unarmed.[2][3][4] Grant was pronounced dead at 9:13 am the next morning at Highland Hospital in Oakland.”
