Prosecuting Attorney David Stein: When you said those words [angrily shouting “bitch-ass n——r!” twice into Oscar Grant’s ear while arresting him], did you intend to challenge him in any way?

Arresting Officer Anthony Pirone: No. It was sarcasm.

im a peaceful and compassionate man. Im really not interested in taking lives. I feel as though if it comes to such a situation there has been a failure on both sides to be human. But when a Oscar Grant can be handcuffed laying face down and surrounded by cops have racial epithets thrown at him and then shot in the back all recorded on videotape. And it only amounts to Involuntary Manslaughter. What Choice have have i left but to take action in a manner that makes it absolutely clear that Police terrorism will equal police death.

I didnt ask for this war. But im not going to take shots w/o returning fire.

Videotaping isnt enough the Oscar Grant Verdict has shown that. From the judges to the beat cop there is a wall of navy blue. They protect each other while they play fast and loose with our lives. A part of me wants to think that there are good cops but how can i tell when they all stand together. Police Terrorism is systemic. Good or bad when they chose a uniform they chose a side. A side that targets us.

we have no expectation to justice unless we make it ourselves.
