BART Cop Shoots Oscar Grant

[rorybory123]

0:33 its funny how you mention asians after green and yellow

[yyGODyy]

You need to work with youth. They'll listen to you.

[TheSistaWarrior]

make no mistake about it.... There is NO such thing as "excessive force". Murder is murder. That piece of maggot shit criminal (cop) murdered young Oscar Grant. Do the math. Football player Michael Vicks gets 4 years for supposed animal rights violations...and a murderer gets off. Shows you that white racism is in full effect and has never stopped! Time is now to stop marching and start "firing" cops. On or at...preferably on is now.

[afireinside919]

Fuk u u fukin niger ur the most racist pieces of shit u fukin fags it waz an accident u stupid piece of shit

[lickthemlow10]

It is about time that someone speaks with an education about this issuse. Keep up the good work young man.

[poolplayer2093]

can't avoid the cops all the time! they're looking to hurt someone daily!

[nakohead415]

Hey, h8ingdumbpeople.. did the cop know at the time he pulled his gun about Grant's criminal record? It had NOTHING to do with his murder. This was clearly a case of anger mismanagement and lack of training by BART PD.

[clash715]

Good video senior boricua.

Nice work.

[nealrodriguez]

Thank you; Clash, for viewing. i'm actually Colombiano ;) but we're all the same race.

[clash715]

all the same race? i think not.

you colombians are all geniuses or something. You guys have to be a different race.

I have 2 colombians i work with....they are both brainiacs. lol

[nealrodriguez]

haha; it takes one to know one ;) you're too kind, Clash thanks again. Happy Turkey Day!

[clash715]

Same to you :)

[STeroidsnicca]

@nealrodriguez

Great message

[h8ingdumbpeople]

I just thought I'd give you my opinion on your video....first of all....maybe you should talk to someone in the Oakland Crime Unit to find out that he had a gun under his body with drugs....yeap...not public record is that...also he has since been proven that he raped 13 people...that's right after they put his DNA throw the system he was a positive match on a few unsolved rapes, he's not been the best law abiding citizen..has he!!! I guess you get more publicity when your dead!!!

[CALICOTV301]

Whether you do or don't and Im sure this is false...that's for the JUDGE to take care of...

A janitor sweeps...

A chef cooks...

An officer does what?

A judge does what?

From your perspective an officer kills therefore the judge has no job.

[SledgeHammer15]

I've seen the video a few times now. For the life of me, I cannot believe that in front of hundreds of people, that the officer would do something like this on purpose.

[cenpro001]

As a Cop I agree the Cop was wrong. But putting all Cops in the same category is wrong as well. In my nineteen years of law enforcement I've never been accused of abuse of power, nor have I given cause to a complaint. There are more good cops than bad. Mr. Grant's death is tragic and hopefully that person who was wearing the uniform pays for his crime.

[kreighton112]

You are wrong there are more bad cops then good. If you had no complaints it is only because you have not been on long enough. People hate cops,because of this reason.

[hephaestion00]

criminal or not; resisting arrest or not, this was unjustified, no matter how you spin it.

and the fact that the late Oscar Grant was a minority should be a trivial factor in his shooting. His BLACKNESS, or for that matter anyone's COLOUR should NEVER take precedence to one's HUMANITY.

[redmsthang]

Very well said, and all people should take this advise and use it. Knowledge is the power of this universe, with knowledge you can go every where. Hit the books and see just how far you can go. RIP OSCAR you will live forever in our hearts.

[boaster]

my great hope is that the cop gets thrown in prison for life ... until *YOU* get robbed at gunpoint sometime, then you'll be the first person calling 9 1 1. I Everyone I know who has been mugged or robbed has been robbed by young black men. Yet no outrage, or outrage about endless black kids shooting each other night after night in our cities. Are all blacks criminals--of course not. But I agree with Jessie Jackson and would rather have white kids walking behind me at night than black kids.

[kardan77]

Brutality exists because bad cops are rarely held accountable.

check youtube "COPS BEAT ME"

[vagtasticans]

take a look at the cops face....you can clearly tell he didn't mean to pull that trigger. Proving that no matter the occasion, black people will find a reason to riot, or at the very least, find an excuse for why they are poor and looked down on. You're a poor excuse for a human being. I've been to jail, got out and actually made something of myself. U are a waste of life.......go fuck yourself.

[lifeinprisonforcop]

What people don't realize is that this is very normal for this shit head cops, they are just punks carrying guns, I am a professional and white, my great hope is that the cop gets thrown in prison for life and then has his face sliced scaring him for life, he is just a piece of shit

[Taigacan]

NOO YAWK

[mirageoftheheart]

Gangsta rap was just another tool of separation. For all you fake hip hop fans, there was a renaissance time for knowledge and unity (Public Enemy, X-Clan, Brand Nubian And the Stop The Violence Movement). That wasn't cool for White America, and it was a Jew (Paul Rosenberg) who decided Gangsta rap. Look it up you ignorant chumps. Police violence against minorities is as old as this country. All of a sudden it's a mistake? Incidents like that are 500 years old. We need to get together fight back

[GKECU]

If the pen is mightier than the sword the keyboard is an atom bomb...that's real.

[slapstickaction]

That shooting was an accident, maybe that cop shouldn't have had his gun out while he was cuffing that kid but with all those other kids yelling and screaming at them is it any wonder why those police were so nervious. I mean everyone knows most of the black youths especially in L.A. like gangsta rap, and we all know that part of gangsta rap is about wanting to kill cops. "Fuck da Police" comes to mind here. And I've heard black kids talk about wanting to kill a cop like its their life ambition.

[slapstickaction]

And everyone knows that part of being gangsta is to wear baggy clothes to make it easier to conseal weapons. Now most of you black kids dress like your favorite gangsta rappers with the baggy clothes so how is anyone supposed to tell if your just playing the part or your the real thing. And another thing about gangsta rap is all about having no respect towards the law. But we all have to obey the law whether your white, black, chinese, etc. But I see most of you like the kids on this video.

[slapstickaction]

Fighting the police, arguing and resisting arrest. Now anybody would have been taken down like that no matter of race. I seen wiggers get the same treatment. The reason the wiggers don't get shot is because most of them are pussy wannabes and they don't have a history of shooting it out with police. All I'm trying to tell you here is you blacks can't keep acting like your victims all the time. Or more incidents like this will happen and no matter what the cops aren't gonna go away.

[LitaG1]

This isn't about the race its about what is right/ wrong in our law enforcement.The only commotion you hear is the riders on the train. They are upset about what is taking place.Besides the police are supposed to be trained to handle hostile situation without "killing" anyone. In addtion there was control of the entire group b4 Mr. Grant was killed. Fuck the police comes to mind because they abuse not bcuz of gangsta rap.This misconduct has been going on since law enforcement was implemented

[nasherfella]

real talk, same situation bro

[mrbunnylamakins]

WOW I seen that video, the Police were way out of line. If I see the Police get off with a slap on wrist, I think people should hit the streets Rioting. Fred Hampton...Waco, Ruby Ridge, Club Gecko, wire taps, Tuskegee Experiment, Enron, Rodney King, Black Water, Abner Louima, 911, Monsanto,Bilderberg, Sean Bell, Able Danger, Halliburton, Fema Concentration Camp, JFK, Ramos and Compean, United North America, Bohemian Grove, Catherine Austin Fitts , Digital Angel, Martain Lurther King Jr.

[Snoopyjb]

Bang...Dead...HA!

[technicalfouler]

Blacks make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, but account for about 70 percent of gonorrhea cases and almost half of chlamydia and syphilis cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Black women ages 15 to 19 have the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and gonorrhea rates for blacks overall were 19 times higher than for whites, the CDC said.

[lynnegross]

NEAl, I had to stop reading these boneheaded responses to your video. You have something special. I could see you going far in regards to a career in acting. Taking the time to express your passion for the younger generation is very commendable. But I see, and wouldn't mind seeing you in some movies.

[HidetoT12]

this is the greatest thing ever, fuck oscar grant.

we need more cops like that.

[CapricousCapricorn1]

I want you to have your brains blown out.

Now THAT would be the greatest thing.

Rot in hell maggot.

[bgoodson66]

accident how do u accidently pull out a gun put ur finger on the trigger and pull it??? tell me that... accident thats bullshit tazer thats bullshit we need justice and we shouldnt stop till we get justice

[ReligionIsACrutch]

It was probably an accident. People want to believe that police are really that corrupt and stupid so they can fulfill their fantasies of being a rebel and fighting against "the man".

[ImFlyyWithoutWingz]

religionisacrutch..did u watch the video??there were witnesses and there was video evidence that this guy did nothing to provoke the police..yea there was a fight on board, however, the police had all the people involved clearly handcuffed and lined up against a wall...for mehserle to pull out a gun and shoot Oscar was no accident..that was stupidity and ill intent.

[ReligionIsACrutch]

Like I said before, he probably thought he was holding a TASER. Also, you claim the guy was under control but it looked like he had 3 cops on him and he was still struggling. The cop was a moron but there was no ill intent. You have to be pretty paranoid to think a cop would really execute someone in front of witnesses. If they had put the guy in a cop car and taken him to the river and shot him then you could claim ill intent. This was a moron cop that did his job poorly and took a life.

[quixotica]

People. You can either live in the problem, or live in the solution. You can ruminate on the past, or build the future. Be proactive. That doesn't mean RAPING WHITE WOMEN. Look at our newest president. That DOES say something. Times ARE changing. Maybe not fast enough. This latest incident was BEYOND HORRID. I'm not black so I can't at all relate to the fear you must feel. Just KNOW that change is happening. Be a PART OF IT!

[quixotica]

sorry. the pig comment was for the asshole encouraging the rape of the white woman followed by 'pissing on her blonde hair'. prick

[killz4fun]

Thanks for the words son!!

[killz4fun]

Dude,

Thanks for those words!!this is what I preach to the Youth everyday--You look like Malcolm X in a way!!anyway I feel you-Thanks for the message

[chinabrown88]

I am feeling what you are saying. But we also need to get out there and take action and not just sit on UTUBE preaching. Get out there people and make it happen.

[jusblaze99]

wat does "make it happen" mean???

[aliens4theloss]

"make it happens" means get out on the streets wit yo 9's and yo glocks and put some rounds in a crackers ass for revenge. if shes a white girl, rape her first then piss on her blond hair.

[chenda2382]

you a stupid mother fucker. why would you go rape a white girl for? what did she ever do to you? man shut the fuck up...it's not your fight.

[aliens4theloss]

revenge for slavery

[jusblaze99]

....you idiot, our ancestors wanted a brighter future for us, which we HAD the ability to take advantage of in this country thru education. idiots like u r gonna get us bak in chains.

[quixotica]

you pig.

[aliens4theloss]

nah im trying to free black people from the oppressors. you dumbass niggas think because you work at mcdonalds and yo ass gets a welfare check that you free. you aint free capitalism is the modern day cotton field, and you people that readily accept the standards the white oppressor has laid out for you, are the ones who are keeping out people in chains.

[jBrunoNJ]

I really don't reply to posts very often but I'm doing so now in order to congratulate you on your very positive words. I had similar circumstances as you and I sincerely wish our leaders would stop playing the race card and set a positive example for our youths. There are tons of other nameless black kids who were executed at the hands of their black brothers so let's be real and wake the hell up.

Again, good work!

[aliens4theloss]

your a fucking pussy with an annoying voice i tell u what.

so what he shouldnt have resisted arrest, i dont... i know better than to sit there and roll around and make the polices job hard.

u know why u dont do that? because they will put a round in your ass thats why.

this dumbass nigger should have known better. got what he deserved

[jusblaze99]

ummmm ONLY ONE THUMB DOWN AND ITS MINE WTFFF??????

[ByStander15]

I really don't understand the human brain, some1 is posting a positive video stating the importance of education, instead below me couple of knuckleheads be ranting about useless and ignorant crap.

[Kor3yHu5H7]

Thank you for your words, it's all real talk only one from the inside of the system could talk like this...Wish you much success on Huffington Post...don't let the truth be censored

[BALLERBOXER15]

Yeahh i found this video response to B inspiring. Im 18 N kind of stuck at the crossroads. But Education is my key. out of where i live. Which is rapid City south dakota. but Ur words are truly inspiring N it gives me more confidence to further my education :) Thanks For Posting This VIDEO!

[JeRse114]

He shouldn't have caused any violence and this wouldn't have happened. He dug his own grave

[password]

righhhhht, 'he dug his own grave' - loony talk JeRse... yes, he should have NOT hung around troublemakers, gang-bangers, etc, and yes hanging out with those types puts you act higher risk for injury or death - but you do justice no service by implying the cop isn't 100% responsible for his death after watching that video - it's not like Oscar was a burglar running from a crime scene and got shot! He's face first hand-cuffed on the ground for supposed fighting... it was wrong!

[erthdirt1]

If it was an unarmed white man face down on the ground and the officer was a black man your subconciously racist ass would be singing a different tune.

[andwerver]

Shut your mouth you stupid fuck. Only reason you want to see that cop die is because you are a piece of shit gang banger and you naturally hate all cops because you are used to breaking the law. When was the last time you smoked crack?

[password]

you think he appears on crack, really? when people who look like your color (or in my case, gay) are treated with DISRESPECT by cops you tend to start to, ya know - DISTRUST them! Obviously, there's great cops, but there's a lot of shitty ones too. We gotta hope and pray the good cops report them.

I commend Neal for reaching out to the youth. You on the other hand andwerver - are the one who appears on crack - for this intelligent young man speaks pretty wisely and without the hate you do!

[killz4fun]

Shut up you hater!!It's only a a matter of time that you will realize that the world is changing!!wait a minute!my president is black--go kill yourself!!

[WTFRUON]

You are a moron! I had to pause the video because I couldn't handle how stupid you are.

The cop will be punished and right now he is punishing himself I'm sure. Looked like an accident to me. Either way I do hope he spends plenty of time in jail.

That doesn't change the fact that you should stop video taping yourself!

[password]

blah blah blah... whatever that cop is doing to himself, he isn't punishing himself enough! he should have his SORRY ass on TV in a news conference balling his EYES OUT saying he's sorry and ashamed of what happened!

[csuebman]

he is not doing that because of the irrational mob that is unfortunately making things worse

the ghetto morons would intentionally kill, him after he did not intententionally kill

did you notice the rowdiness of the crowd way before Grant was shot? well that contributed to the nervousness and hacticness of the moment,

Want justice? the mob that was there should kill themselves.

[dannydyer1000]

appreciate the video and what you're trying to say here... props

[cafs131]

hey man I feel like you really inspired me. Ive been putting off school way too long. Great points made

[andwerver]

You sound like a fucking moron. You don't even know what "diametrically" means. Do you honestly believe that he should be tortured to death over a shooting? Fucking ignorant dumbass.

[erthdirt1]

The manner in which you trivialize the murder of an innocent unarmed man by those who are responsible to protect and serve us amuses me in a very dark way. It wasn't a "shooting", it was a cold blooded execution, at the very least negligble homicide. You are the ignorant one.

[greasemonkee]

props man, hopefully kids all over will take in your words from this video..

great quote in the end..ill be sure to remember it.

[coygurlaroundaworld]

Johannes Mehserle killed Oscar Grant in cold blood. When they stop hiring Nazis from Nappa County to police the Ghetto there will be justice and peace in the hood.

[acidosmosis]

I stumbled upon this on a article that I clicked on Digg. I just wanted to comment to say, thanks for giving out good advice and I mean no offense by this, but it's so relieving to see a video like this where someone isn't bringing up the race card and saying that blacks have harder problems getting these things done. White people are lazy bums too. It's all about character and getting off your ass to do what you need to do to better your life.

Thumbs up man.

[cooler303]

Having been involved in some bad situations on the street and having been wrapped up into the "gangsta" lifestyle myself, I can testify that this man is giving good advice. For any kids especially reading this, listen carefully to this guy and what he's saying, its much better to learn from someone who's been through it than to have to learn it the hard way yourself.

[yourmajezty]

good job

[UTOptionExplicit]

Do you even know what diametric means? You literally just said he was wrong along the diameter.

[trynite]

wrong all around?

[hyphiegirl12]

Oscar was a working father on the bart he was with his brother inlaw.Justice for Oscar Grant

[louiebaur]

Nice touch... The keyboard is the atom bomb!

[MooseBama]

Mr Rodriguez, this video ahould be labeled also as "Get out of the ghetto" or any other tittles you can come up with. I praise you for your strong and needed words for anyone in an unhealthy living environment. Sen. Pell was a great man in my state of RI. Be proud of yourself for getting where you are today by deciding on your own to do it. I pray the truth comes out on the shooting death of Mr Grant, what a sad outcome. God bless.

[bubbagus23]

This is so crazy!!! How could they have done this???
