So basically, the #AlexPretti killing was #ICE saying "Oh, you didn't like what we did to #ReneeGood? How about we run that back with some #OscarGrant as well on top?"

RIP #OscarGrant. On 1 January 2009, 22 year old Oscar Grant was murdered in Oakland by BART police officer, Johannes Mehserle. Rest in power! Never forget. #FruitvaleStation #Oakland #BayArea #NoJusticeNoPeace #Fruitvale
Mehserle resigned & pleaded not guilty. In a rare example of justice (however minor) for Black victims of police violence, on 7/8/2010, Mehserle was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, but not guilty of the murder charge & voluntary manslaughter. He sentence was only to 2 yrs.

The violence was captured on multiple official & private digital video as well as privately owned cell phones. Owners disseminated their footage to the media & to various websites where it went viral. On 1/30/2010, Alameda County prosecutors charged Mehserle w/ 2nd-degree murder.

Pirone saw Grant and removed him from the train. At some point, Pirone kneed Grant in the head and forced Grant to lie face down on the platform. Officer Johannes Mehserle drew his pistol and shot Grant.

Pirone threw three people against a wall & turned to the train, yelling for everyone who was fighting to exit the train & come to him. Everyone remained on the train, so Pirone walked into the train looking for people who looked as if they were involved in the fight

Facts: As BART police officers got closer to the train, they started to pick out people they believed to have been involved in the fight. BART officer Anthony Pirone walked up to two African American men & ripped the jacket off one.

Almost 20 years ago, I watched #OscarGrant get shot IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD while in handcuffs for hopping a turnstile, skipping out on a $1.25 BART ticket, in 480p from at least 20 camera angles.
This trend is wrong. It has been wrong. But it's not new. Some things are new. It's not this.

#FilmFriday: check out Ryan Coogler's 2013 film #FruitvaleStation, which tells the real-lifestory of #OscarGrant III, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with family, friends, and enemies on the last day of 2008.
Today for #BlackHistoryMonth we celebrate director and screenwriter Ryan Coogler.
Of his several feature scripts, he says Fruitvale Station is the closest to his heart. It's the true story of #OscarGrant, an unarmed man shot in the back by a cop in the early hours of New Year's Day 2009 in Oakland.
Today's agenda in our one woman army, with Ani DiFranco in our headphones: #livinginclip
— Day Two: storytelling time. This is a good one, it's about how some of us who know how to cast the right spells reversed the local cycle of violence. #oscargrant #presente
