the choices. | THERE IS NO JUSTICE, THERE IS JUST US | 2010 .
this photograph doesn’t lie — hand on his taser, not his firearm. mr. mehserle seemed to know the difference between his taser&firearm moments before MURDERING oscar grant.
god bless you, oscar grant for this piece of photographic evidence. unfortunately, it didn’t help convict the asshole who shot you in the back, while you were subdued, laying on your stomach.
fuck the police.
my heart aches for my community.
This is Oscar Grant being taken away after he was shot by Oakland Police. He was shot handcuffed, on his stomach and complying with officers. He died a few hours later. If you’re willing to riot over a basketball team, you better be willing to take to the streets for Oscar Grant and the tens of thousands of young people murdered by law enforcement globally!
No Justice: Oscar Grant Verdict Overshadowed by Lebron James
Written by Andreas Hale
“We have become a numb society that is enthralled with the celebrity lifestyle. Our aspirations are strung together with half-baked dreams anchored by the motto “Fame or Bust.” We live vicariously through the rich and famous while we disconnect the line when a parallel is drawn between ourselves and the common man.
LeBron-mania is over. Oscar Grant is still dead and Oakland is wrought with anger and distress. As LBJ joins Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for an all white party in South Beach that us common folk can’t afford to attend, Oscar Grant will join Diallo and Bell in the afterlife as they comfort the sobbing Jones who thought the police were supposed to be the good guys. As Cleveland fans light their #23 jerseys on fire and try to figure out who will lift “The Curse” from Cleveland, Oscar Grant’s family and friends dab away the tears while picking up the pieces of an emotionally devastated community that has once again been let down by “The Curse” of an unbalanced judicial system.
Which one will most likely be forgotten by tomorrow?
It will only remain this way if you let it.”
