Normally I would agree with what you say,but it might just be different this time.One thing for sure,their were lots of video phones rolling at the time.I've seen a better video of this shooting.The police confiscated what phones they could,but not all.It seems that video phones are starting to be the best weapon against police brutality.Almost all the youth carry them.The big lesson is to smuggle your footage out of the area before the cops can get it.

I think you're right Keith, and I hope you're right. The execution of Oscar Grant III was obscene, and it was captured by at least four cameras, and it's been seen by millions. In the past the cameras and the internet were the missing ingredients so the cops could just lie with impunity.

I'm proud of the people in Oakland for showing up en masse to protest this murder. I hope they continue. I disagree with Grant's mom about this; calm is not what's needed.
