no peace.
just us.
I'm in LA, but got my eye on Oakland. I am not one that believes the criminal justice system can or will offer "justice" to the people but the verdict of involuntary manslaughter for the case of Officer Mehserle, shooting an UNARMED BLACK MAN, LYING FACE DOWN on a BART platform is an insult.
Here is a small bit of thoughtful reading/watching material about this whole mess of a racist, fucked-up verdict:
