California police shoot another unarmed Black man in cold blood--Oscar Grant III (22 years old) on New Year's Eve. You're saying to yourself, "thats nothing new--happens all the time." This is true. The difference is, it happens to be 2009 and EVERYBODY and their momma has Video on their mobile device. Not to mention that Videos from 3 different angles of the shooting were on YouTUBE and around the world in a matter of hours. No way to suppress the footage. There were dozens of witnesses.
Remember that this occurred in California. A white police officer puts his knee to the neck of an unarmed 22 year old who is not resisting and handcuffs him. THEN his partner pulls out his weapon and shoots the kid in the back as he lay FACE DOWN. If this cop is not punished severely the Rodney King Riots in 1992 are gonna look like 2nd grade recess compared to what will happen here in CA.
But this time it won't be race riots. These riots will be against the Police. The riot yesterday in Oakland was Blacks and Whites together protesting peacefully until the cops decided they wanted to start pushing the protesters that were chanting WE ARE ALL OSCAR GRANT.
Until Next Time,

Yeah, I agree, they don't want to see whats going to go down in Oakland if Justice isn't served. Or then again, maybe THEY do...It would be a striking contrast to the calm and cool Obama.
ReplyDeleteTheres no doubt tho the cop will see consequences one way or another.
R.I.P OSCAR GRANT !
