WHY THE HELL HE FREE HE A RASICT WHAT SHOT AN INNOCINT BLACK MAN OBAMA SHUD GIVE HIM THE DEATH PENILTY
OBAMA ALL DAY
Good that, this man is out on bond because he is innocent and you people should be on the streets protesting for his innocents/
He was able to post a 3million dollar bail money how ?
This guy will probably get less time for murder than Chris Brown will for this alleged assault on Rihanna. What a wonderful justice system we have. I’m sure the killer has some rich white benefactor post the $3 million dollar bail.
Ya’ll shouldn’t leave that man hurt you should help he ain’t guilty!
It wasn;t a white man that was kill, he was Black, as far as his bail you know who put it up His friends where did they get that kind of money from ?.David BET needd to protest you off there WEB site you just don’t what to say
we need proper grammar and spelling in this blob innocent renee what are you saying?
How in the hell!
He can run and hide in society but can’t hide from the Most High.
I pray that Oscar Grant’s ghost will haunt him and the whole OPD forever.
BOO!!!!!
That’s why Tales From The Hood is my fav when the dead black corpse came back and killed the officers and hope the same thing will happen to them during Judgment Day.
Where do a transit cop or any cop for that matter get 3 million dollars? And I also thought that most murderers dont recieve bonds.
