Family of Oakland Shooting Victim Wants $50 Million

March 4th, 2009

 The family of Oscar Grant, the unarmed, 22-year-old Black man who was shot to death near Oakland, Calif., on New Year’s Day, wants the Bay-Area transit authority to pay $50 million for its police officers’ actions. Attorney John Burris, says that the agency, its chief of police and three officers played a role in snuffing out an innocent, compliant young man. Burris said Monday that the way Bay Area Rapid Transit Officers Johannes Mehserle and Tony Pirone behaved was “more egregious than I initially thought.” Read the rest.

TRUTH Said on

RACIST CAN NOT BE REASONED WITH, SO DON’T TRY! ALL THE POLICE INVOLVED IN THE COVER UP ALONG WITH THE SO-CALLED POLICEMAN SHOULD DO LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE, EVEN IF INCLUDES THE POLICE CHIEF! WHITE, BLACK AND OTHER RACES PUT A BLACK PRESIDENT IN PLACE TO CLEAN UP THE PAST PRESIDENT’S POSSIBLE CRIMINAL MISTAKES, WHICH PUT THIS COUNTRY IN THE WORST CONDITION EVER!!!

Money can never make up for Oscar Grant life. However, I do hope that his family gets justice for what transpired here. I saw the video of the whole incident and feel like it was uncalled for to shot him.
R.I.P. Oscar Grant

okay.. yes, the family should want mediation for his death [no disrespect] but they are acting like they are the only family suffering from a death by a police shooting. yes they should want some money (that’s understandable) but personally $50 million is a little outragious. thats $50 million that could be spent on building a school for children to get their education or something to that affect. i think the police officers badges should be taken from them along with the other officers who have shot and killed unarmed men [especially sean bell's situation].

R.i.P Oscar Grant

I just want to say first, “May the Almighty Allah Bless His Soul, and Family”. We all know what these modern day “Roman” soliders are capable of, and there true intentions are to subdue and commit atrocities against people of color, or the Aboriginals of the world. When wl these communities see the light? The municipalities are corporations, which rake in moneies from the unconscious people. These officers are subject to color of law. Please look up this for yourself. knowledge is power. These police officers and their stations work in the interest of the”principal”. The State is a corporation itself. I direct all to any law dictionary. I hope the family seek remedy from the city, and get their attorneys to start filing liens on each individual’s assets. Lets hit them where it hurts. Then, I bet all that these things will not happen. Weust return to our forfather and mothers creed. If, we are to make change, then we all must study law, as our first language.
