There will also be anti-war events you can attend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday depending on where you live. On Saturday i...

Oscar Grant, Oakland City Hall 
This is the MOMENT. We are sick and tired of being ignored; we will no longer sit back while the police are allowed to get away with televised executions. We will not stop until we see justice. We DEMAND that Tony Peroni be fired and charged. Officer Tony Peroni was “caught on camera” striking Oscar Grant in the face numerous times for no reason. He set the tone for the execution of Oscar Grant. Officer Tony Peroni is just as guilty as Johannes Meserlie. WE WILL NOT LET HIM GET AWAY WITH WHA...

Were drugs planted on BART shooting victim Oscar Grant? 
There was a story recorded in google news with the headline you see above (and below) and yet now the story apparently had been removed from SFGate blogs. It confidently cites a "well-placed source" so it likely wasn't removed for credibility reasons. Was it removed as part of the gag order in the trial of Mehserle or for some more nefarious reason? And if it was removed as part of the gag order, then why is the opinion piece excerpted below by David Jackson still online?...
