Oscar Grant: Seattle protests this latest outrageous miscarriage of justice.

by I was there
Pics from the protest in Seattle in solidarity with the people of Oakland, CA. Johannes Mehserle was given a SLAP ON THE WRIST! No Justice, No Peace! We Are ALL Oscar Grant!

Concerned community members from Seattle and Olympia took to the streets of Seattle, WA outraged over the verdict of "involuntary manslaughter" in the murder of Oscar Grant by Oakland Police officer Johannes Mehserle.

Many of you may be familiar of the case of the black teenager who was punched by a seattle officer for jaywalking. If not, a little background: http://www.seattlepi.com/local/421842_cop16.html

This comes on the heels of another video taped outrage at the hands of an SPD officer, this time with a Mexican "suspect":

However, [some of] the people are fighting back: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011323989_monfort12m.html

From another angle. Isn't that better? And nobody got hurt or went to jail.

by Off Tha Pig!
Christopher Monfort, the man accused of killing Seattle police Officer Timothy Brenton last year [by shooting him and his partner at point blank range] on Halloween, 2009, unexpectedly speaks in court.

If we are all Oscar Grant, then it is time that we all become Christopher Monfort!
