If you were like me, you were horrified when you saw the footage of the killing of Oscar Grant III on the morning of New Year’s day at the hands of a police officer in an Oakland, CA train station.
The officer who shot Grant, Johannes Mehserle, abrubtly resigned right before he was to speak with internal affairs regarding this incident.
The latest on this case is that Johannes Mehserle has been arrested in Nevada on a fugitive warrant.
The charge: suspicion of murder.
From my perspective, it seems pretty clear what happened but, as we know, what the public perceives and what happens in a courtroom are separate and distinct things. However, in this case, I hope that justice prevails.
