Oscar Grant III was a 22 year old African-American who was shot in the early hours of New Years Day in 2009 by Bay Area Rapid Transit Police Officer, Johannes Mehserle. This occurred when there were reports received about a fight in a train station and several others were detained along with Grant. officer Anthony Pirone struck Grant in the head and forced the unarmed Grant to lie face down on the platform. While Pirone held Grant down in a prone position, Mehserle shot Grant in the back with a pistol. He was rushed to hospital and died later that day. Another sickening, unlawful killing at the hands of the police. These events were later retold in a 2013 movie starring Michael B. Jordan, called Fruitvale Station. A really sad movie and for those who haven’t watched, it’s an emotional one
