Mon Jan 21 2008 Family and Friends of Young Man Killed by Oakland Police Office Demand Justice
Thursday Protests Demand Justice for Gary King, Jr. Weekly protests to demand justice for Gary King, Jr. are now held on Thursdays from 4pm to 6pm outside of the District Attorney's Office at 1225 Fallon St. in Oakland, at the corner of 12th St. and Oak St. Gary King Jr, a 20-year-old African-American man, was murdered by Oakland cop Patrick Gonzales on Sept. 20th, 2007. After tasering Gary King Jr., Gonzales then shot him twice in the back. Gonzales has a history of of harrassment and brutality as an OPD officer, including the murder of at least one other young African American man and the shooting/paralysis of another. Family, friends, neighbors, and supporters gather at the weekly protests to demand that Gonzales face the consequences of his actions-- "and to demonstrate that vicious police behavior will not be tolerated!"
