The Bart Police Murder
of Black Youth Oscar Grant III
on New Year's day, Oakland CA
is NOT SOLVED !


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Justice4Oscar_GRANT/

Dear Friends,
Freedom Activists & Allies,

Oscar Grant III's killing in cold blood, one 
single shot in the back by Bay Area Rapid Transit 
(BART) at Fruitvale Station  on New Year's day at 2 am

is NOT a solved murder...


The arrest (1-13-09) of officer Johannes Mehserle 
who pulled the trigger on an innocent, unarmed 
young man, 22, (father of 4 yr. baby-girl 
Tatiana),  handcuffed and face down on the pavement,
virtually exonerates the 3 other officers too 
busy confiscating cell phones of horrified 
onlookers instead of applying CPR on a dying man.
Although he was heard  pleading:

"Please don't shoot me !"
"Please don't Tase me !"
"I have a young daughter !"


Officer Tony Pirone punched Oscar Grant and had 
his knee on Oscar's head when Mehserle shot Oscar in the back.
Yet, the DA is not considering any charges on Pirone.
