If you aren't aware of what took place on the night of Jan 1 in Oakland, here's a brief clip from the Fruitvale BART station.  This video is graphic and contains profanity.

It is now well known that the officer who did the shooting is named Johannes Mehserle.  It is also known that he was allowed to travel to a home in Nevada.  The second year officer resigned from BART police days after the shooting, just as BART officials were going to force him to make a statement.

Today, almost 2 weeks after the execution style slaying of Oscar Grant III, Mehserle was finally brought in on charges.  Needless to say, there has been significant unrest in Oakland while the people awaited action.

I'll be following this story as it unfolds, and hopefully you will too.
