Statement on Johannes Mehserle Verdict

by LA Coalition for Justice for Oscar Grant Sunday, Jul. 11, 2010 at 7:00 PM

Statement on the verdict for Johannes Mehserle, who shot Oscar Grant in the back. Mehserle was the first law enforcement officer in the state of California to be charged with murder in the line of duty. On Friday, July 9, 2010, Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Los Angeles Coalition for Justice for Oscar Grant Statement regarding former BART officer Johannes Mehserle's "Involuntary Manslaughter" conviction for the brutal shooting of Oscar Grant.

The Coalition believes that Johannes Mehserle (Oscar's killer) should have received a conviction for murder--not for manslaughter.

STATEMENT
------------------------

The farce verdict of involuntary manslaughter is a perversion of justice that seeks to absolve Mehserle of all but the most minimal responsibility for murdering Oscar Grant, as if Mehserle ran a light and hit someone rather than pulling his gun and shooting an unarmed man in the back.

We reject the continued official cover-up of the murder of Oscar Grant with a jury exclusive of African Americans, yet including several jurors with police as immediate family, hundreds of miles from the scene of the crime, by a judge notorious for covering police crimes and with slanted rules of evidence.

We remind everyone of the California NAACP request that we should "trust the justice system". The NAACP has contorted itself into accomplice in the cover-up of murder and denial of rights.

Mehserle’s public murder of Oscar Grant is the declaration of open hostility against the people. As it was the people who, through their organized actions, forced Mehserle’s arrest, it will be the people who end the systematic epidemic of police brutality. At the moment we demand of the Obama/Holder Justice Department to file long-overdue Federal Charges of Civil Rights Violations against all involved in the Oscar Grant murder and cover-up. We demand of the United Nations investigation of Human Rights Violations in breach of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. We demand of the people to organize and train themselves, to secure every position, resource, and weapon available for long-term struggle to end police brutality.

Don't Trust The Criminals Justice System, that Protects and Serves The Criminals

by No Drug Dealers Caught here. Too much Graft Thursday, Jul. 15, 2010 at 2:12 AM

Ever wonder why COPS (Criminals On Patrol) never catch any of The Big Drug Dealers or DA's never Find the time to Prosecute them? It's because The Criminals Justice System Protects and Serves them. So what do COPS (Criminals On Patrol) do when their INCREASED POST 9-11 POLICE POWERS ????????? They Beat up on Black Motorist, Execute Blacks at Transit Center and Weddings, Shake Down The Public with Traffic Tickets Extortion Rackets, and Take Kickbacks from Drug Dealers. And what do DA's do when they see COPS (Criminals On Patrol) Break the Law??????????? They take a Dive and Throw the Fight in Court on Behalf of Their Fellow Conspirators in The Criminals Justice System The COPS (Criminals On Patrol).

same rotten system

by Droog Thursday, Jul. 15, 2010 at 2:57 AM

when it is so open and selective as to its subservience to the overclass, the 'rules of law' are shown to be a contorted method of selective enforcement reminding one of a Kabuki shadow show where the ending is always the same.
How does one impel the administration of justice rather than political power?
Our American justice system at present, serves the overclass because the public is insulated from policy. We need to control all funding and promotions through referendum.
No "yes" votes means no funding or promotions.
