### See http://www.oaklandforjustice.org/ for updated information on the July 11 demonstration ###
Last Sunday night, BART Police attacked and essentially executed a man so drunk he could barely stand! 2 BART Police officers responded to a call of a homeless man with an open container of alcohol described as stumbling and wobbling around civic center platform. Within 60 seconds of getting out of the train and onto the platform, these cops managed to shoot the man 3 times in the chest and kill him.
The BART police chief is... claiming he is 'comfortable' with this behavior. There is video that they are refusing to release. There are witnesses that contradict the police story (the lies they are using to try to cover this up). History does repeat itself, until we get angry enough to do something about it.
Join us to THIS MONDAY. ON THE CIVIC CENTER PLATFORM (yes, in the BART!). We will participate in a collective act of civil disobedience to demand:
1. The BART Board of Directors must shut down the corrupt, inept, disgraceful, and murderous BART police department, PERMANENTLY AND TOTALLY.
2. Both officers must be fired, and we demand an independent, PUBLIC investigation of this killing, and all applicable charges filed and prosecuted against the killers.
DEMAND JUSTICE FOR OSCAR GRANT AND ALL KILLED BY THE POLICE!

this proves, like an alcoholic, no ''change'' will happen until they ''hit bottom''. police is addictive society on display. killers to the end.
...people should shut down BART HQ in Oakland. Occupy, blockade. Fuck the police!
I think that this man deserves an unpermitted march with no boundaries just as much as Oscar Grant!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
