What was that about “post-racial” America?
If you haven’t heard about the 22 year old man who was shot by Bay Area Rapid Transit police as a kick ass start to 2009, I would not be surprised. I just learned about him today, through a posting in a private forum.
Oscar Grant was unarmed, part of a peaceful permitted demonstration, who according to the linked account, was trying to calm down his companions.
He was then pushed to the ground and shot point blank in the back.
Lest you wonder why duly sworn officers would do such a thing? Take a look at the picture and tell me if you are surprised.
