SPEAK OUT Thursday, April 9, 9am / BART Says Officers Pirone & Domenici "acted appropriately" re. Oscar Grant / Come to BART Board Meeting Thurs, April 9, 9am* * * PLEASE DO FORWARD WIDELYESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A DAYTIME EVENT * * *As if the murder and cover-up of Oscar Grant's execution weren't outrageous enough, now BART attorneys claim that Officers Tony Pirone and Marysol Domenici were not at fault in the shooting of Oscar Grant. They even say Oscar would have beaten THEM -- that Oscar would have beaten the police -- if they hadn't acted with the force they used.BART is trying to separate itself from the murder of Oscar Grant and act like now it's just between the District Attorney and former BART Officer Mehserle. BART is also trying to influence those criminal proceedings by publicizing evidence before Mehserle even goes back to court. Well, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they spend on "research," how many public meetings they hold (when most people can't attend because we have jobs), or how much they try to appease people with promises of change - we haven't seen anything yet. And this latest maneuver claiming that the officers were in danger is outrageous!Fire Police Gee - for cover-up and incompetenceFire Tony Pirone - for brutality at the very leastFire Dorothy Duggar - for complicity in the whole thingHold Accessible Public MeetingsNot only have not of these demands presented at a previous BART Board Meeting been met -- the clearing of Pirone is an outright slap in the face.Come to speak out at:BART Board Room, 3rd FloorKaiser Center 20th Street Mall (near Harrison)344-20th Street, OaklandOfficers not all at fault in Oscar Grant's death, attorney saysBy Paul T.
