Powerful depiction of the Oscar Grant tragedy. Please watch and share it with all your police friends asap. Maybe the forces of racial violence will always be granted impunity by lily white America, indeed, the pattern seems undeniable. But by focusing on preventing unjustifiable homicides like the ruthless murder of young Oscar Grant by BART Police at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland, California, perhaps this case can guide us in a direction beyond American Justice. The police wont be happy at first, but together we as a People must no longer back down in order to remind them that it is our pursuit of happiness to which they have sworn to protect. If mere skin-color forfeits the rights of non-white men, what good is the Bill of Rights? And how long will we wait until we proclaim our Declaration of Independence? You cant be neutral on a moving train. The question yet to be posed in this context: is the train of American Justice heading backwards or forwards? May young Oscar grant us the spiritual fortitude to confront the ongoing ills of institutionalized racism, police misconduct, malicious prosecution and Americas wars against humanity under so many layers of pretexts but clearly aimed at you and me. Remember Oscar Grant! In solidarity with the Youth Justice global movement for the consolidated human rights causes that epitomize the vision of the Sixth Sun movement: Global Justice! From Anaheim to Brooklyn to Oakland to Florida...STAND YOUR GROUND AGAINST STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM IN YOUR TOWN. iYa Basta!
