Praying for Peace, Working for Justice

Since January 2nd there has been much protest against the BART Police murder of Oscar Grant, III, killed by rookie cop, Johannes Mehserle.
AT FIRST, the killer cop was protected by “the code of silence,” DESPITE immediate calls for justice from mostly African American elected officials, clergy and community leaders.
THEN, when people got really mad, the Mayor came out BART met with the public and the National News picked up the story.
AND NOW, the DAY and police are still more concerned with crushing protest against police brutality than they are in bringing (former) BART Office Mehserle up on murder charges.
