No Justice Anywhere...

In Oakland a couple of years ago a BART officer shot and killed an handcuffed and unarmed man named Oscar Grant.  Of course this caused a firestorm of controversy about use of lethal force which was compounded by the fact that the officer was white and Oscar (pictured above) was black.  Check out the cell phone footage here.  The cop that was involved only received a 2 year sentence..how he got off that easy is anyone's guess (I'm not gonna play the race card...I'm gonna play the Justice System is Fucked Up card).  Well today the ex-BART office was released from prision early for good behavior.  No words are strong enough to properly describe the amount of fuckery at work here...a two year bid should have been warm up...they should have put him under the jail.  He shot a handcuffed, unarmed man that was on the ground...got two years...and the got out EARLY??? I know the Bay is on fire right now and rightfully so...no justice, no peace.  Maybe one day there will be a justice system that doles out the right punishment every time.  But maybe that's too much to ask of Amerikkka.
