UPDATE TUESDAY: Just posted this on Walnut Creek Patch, but supporters of Johannes Mehserle are planning a rally to show support for the former BART police officer. The rally will take place at the Walnut Creek courthouse, 640 Ygnacio Valley Road, starting at 2 p.m.
Another example of the suburban/urban divide in this case?
The majority of people in Contra Costa County, including Walnut Creek, are Democrats, and they voted for Barack Obama for president and they opposed Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage.
These political realities tell me that, contrary to the image of conservative surburbia, we in Walnut Creek might be left of center on social issues. And, with respect to the case of the BART shooting case, I’m betting that a lot of us have been been willing to listen to and consider the arguments for why former BART police Johannes Mehserle should have been convicted of first-degree murder, not involuntary manslaughter.
Some of us are also sympathetic to the historical and cultural reasons that African-Americans in urban centers, such as Oakland, have become distrustful of white authority figures, notably police officers. Have there been racist, brutal officers on American police forces? Yes. Have people of color been treated unfairly by America’s criminal justice system? Absolutely, and it still goes on with incidents of racial profiling and with our process of capital punishment.
All this said, a fair number of people I’ve talked to on this side of the Oakland hills don’t believe that the January 1, 2009 shooting of Oscar Grant was about some larger cause of racism in injustice in America. Our view is that it was a horrible tragic accident. We agree with the Los Angeles’ jury’s conviction of involuntary manslaughter.
Moreover, we don’t think Grant is a martyr of this larger cause. Rather, he was just a guy, out celebrating the New Year with friends, who wound up in the wrong place–the Fruitvale BART station platform–at the wrong time.
Yes, I’m saying all this as a white, female suburbanite whose life experience is much much different than Oscar Grant’s or of his supporters in Oakland. I grew up in Walnut Creek, and I live here now. Walnut Creek is a pretty safe town, and I went to good schools and had the opportunity to go to college and go on to get a good career.
So maybe I’m just ignorant, and that’s why I don’t agree with some of the ideas Oscar Grant’s supporters are putting out. That’s right, I just don’t get it, and maybe I’m a bad person because I don’t get it.
I think that there are a lot of us over here in suburbia who don’t “get it.” (I’m also betting that there are a fair number of achingly PC residents of multi-million Craftsmen homes in the Oakland hills who don’t get it either.)
I’ve continued to listen to statements about the great injustice of this case. It’s hard to avoid hearing what them. The first place TV, radio, print and online reporters seem to go to for a statement about this case is Oscar Grant’s family and the Justice for Oscar Grant group.
Nothing I’ve heard so far is changing my mind. I’m very sorry for the pain Oscar Grant’s family is suffering at his loss. I’m sorry his supporters have had to put up with lots of crap from the white establishment in their lives.
But I’m also weary of the way that folks in Oakland and their political leaders have successfully built this case into something more than it is Maybe if I lived in Oakland I would understand. I would get it. But I’m just a hick suburban bumpkin.
Whatever, I also know I’m seriously starting to lose sympathy and to not care, especially after the Justice For Oscar Grant group put out a call for a rally that contained rherotic giving a passive greenlight to more destruction. While calling for a peaceful, legal rally, the group also said, among other things, “Massive street protests were the only thing that forced Mehserle’s arrest,” “People’s anger is justified because ‘we are the victims of police violence’ and no cooling off period needs to take place”; and, “if anything we need more resistance, more action, more mobilization.”
Talk about a polarizing statement. This whole case has become intensely polarized.
What we have here is more than a failure to communicate. We have what my therapist calls an irresolvable conflict. In some cases, my therapist says, people, notably married couples, can learn to live with and accept each other’s differences.
I’m not sure it’s possible to resolve the differences, the vast divide in opinion, that separates those of us who believe Grant died in an accident, and those who think he was murdered. I’m also not sure it’s possible to bridge the divide that exists between us suburbanites, who probably were most worried about our BART and freeway travel plans Thursday, and the Oscar Grant supporters who cling to their anger, self-righteousness, and sense of victimization.

Soccer Mom,
Very eloquent way to say what every one (insulated or not) believes. The only racists in this case are the ones screaming “foul” and looking for someone else to blame. The Oscar Grant family wants attention, and more importantly money. Did they complain about the justice system when their beloved Oscar got a minimal sentence for carrying a gun? I doubt they blamed the judge of racism when Oscar did NOT get sentenced to 2, 3 or 4 years.
It is much easier to blame others, then to go out and find a job, and then have to buy an alarm clock and use it. There are so many studies out there that show zero justification for the black ghettos. The only problem is the authors gets labeled racist because that is such a taboo topic. I'm sorry that 200 years ago, your ancestors were slaves. But go find a job and work hard like the rest of us! I'm also sorry that all the Japanese Americans were stripped of all their possessions less than 60 years ago. So, why are there no large Japanese ghettos? Hmmmm?? Perhaps because the majority of that race work hard, believe in family values and don't blame everyone else for their lack of ethics.
Unfortunately, racism does exist, but ask any middle class black you see in WC how their experience with racism caused their downfall. My bet is they will agree that the Oscar Grant's of the world make excuses versus work (like they did).
Every race has lowlifes. The only difference is the lazy white meth user cant get a bunch of attention blaming others for the atrocities he's faced.
As an insulated white male, I'm beyond tired of hearing how my people are racists. What businesses were destroyed in the 1992 LA riots? Mostly Korean businesses because the blacks in those neighborhoods hate “those people.” Go interview groups of low income Hispanics in WC. See what their opinion of the black race is. When they say or believe something racist, why isn't Burris jumping up and down over that. Oh yeah, no value in one minority judging another minority group negatively. Just the evil white race.
Thanks for getting me all fired up.

As many of us drive or ride BART an hour or more each day to work we hear people in the inner-city complain there are no jobs in the inner-city (unemployment among black men is in the 25-29% range). Well OK, then get on one of the many buses or BART trains within walking distance from everywhere in Oakland and Richmond and TRAVEL to work like the rest of us. It doesn't matter where you live or what type of insulated life you live-when you see able bodied people standing on the corner drinking a beer all day you kind of wonder what are YOU doing to better yourself?

CM,
Glad to see my use of the word “insulated” hit home with you and some of your posters. I could have used brain-dead or ignorant but insulated better describes the cause of your myopic view. If you could see outside the box that you have put yourself in you would see a world much more complex than just saying that Grant was a guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is good German talk, from a white-privilege perspective, for there is nothing wrong with the system.
As for the poster at 5:04 PM I would ask “who are you going to take the country back from”? Because it isn’t Oscar Grant who has taken your country. As the late, great George Carlin said, “It’s the corporations that own you, and the country”. And, “They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it”.

My take is this….
Did Mesherle wake up and say i am going to shoot a black man today? Probably not. But his shooting of Oscar Grant represents a much bigger picture of how young black men are treated by law enforcement and the fact is that these types of accidents do happen in that community at a MUCH higher rate because of the more harsh and intolerant stance taken by some officers, who often, and sometimes rightly so, feel more threatened by this demographic.
For instance…Say your husband, or even your kid when he is a couple of years older, got into a similar “skirmish” on BART. Do you think he would have been treated in the same manner? Addressed in the same tone? Aggravated in the same manner? Laid on his face and cuffed in the same manner? Been perceived as such a threat that it would justify being tased while he was laying on his stomach? Accidently shot in haste because he was such a threat?
I doubt it. And realistically you should doubt it too. I have grown up a white kid my whole life and have many friends of color who have not been awarded the same amount of leeway by law enforcement as I have in my moments of a checkered past.
So it wouldn't be me if I did not bring up something about cannabis, but i think this is a good marker. The NAACP just endorsed Prop 19, the cannabis legalization initiative on the November ballot. Why? The NAACP is normally a very anti-drug and the black community overall tends to vote against cannabis efforts. The NAACP has realized the HUGE disparity in arrests for cannabis amongst black youths, who use cannabis at a much lower rate but are arrested at double, triple, or even quadruple rates as their white peers. This is a fact.
Data from the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice shows half of California's marijuana possession arrestees in 1990 were nonwhite and 28 percent were under age 20, but in 2009, 62 percent were nonwhite and 42 percent were under age 20. Marijuana possession arrests of youth of color rose from about 3,100 in 1990 to about 16,300 in 2008 — a surge about three times greater than that group's population growth, she said.
So while this particular situation may not have been an intentionally racist motivation, the facts are that the very reason Oscar grant was face down on the ground and shot in the back may have underlying racist meaning because of the disparity in the ways young black men are perceived and treated by law enforcement in our society.

Yeah. A lot of the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get a job” talk is irrelevant to this discussion. The “we are taking our country back” hyperbole is weak. There is no evidence Grant was involved in any robbery in SF before being arrested and his “resisting” is questionable at best. Here is some witness accounts:
A cell-phone video broadcast on local television station KTVU on January 23 showed what appeared to be Pirone rushing towards Grant and punching him in the face several times two minutes before he was shot. Grant's family alleges in their civil claim against BART that an officer threw Grant against a wall and kneed him in the face. Pirone's attorney stated that Grant provoked Pirone by trying to knee the officer in the groin and by hitting Officer Marysol Dominici's arm when she attempted to handcuff one of Grant's friends. Witnesses testified that Pirone was the aggressor during the incident. Burris also disputes Pirone's account and claims that Grant and his friends were “peaceful” when the train stopped. Grant then raised his hands while seated against the platform wall. Additional footage from a cell phone was presented in court showing Pirone standing over the prone Grant before the shooting and yelling: “Bitch-ass nigger.” Pirone and his attorney say he was parroting an epithet that Grant had said to him.
June 14: Carlos Reyes recalled Mehserle saying “Oh shit, I shot him” after shooting Grant. Grant's former girlfriend Sophina Mesa testified she called Grant while Grant and his friends were being detained and Grant said: “They're beating us up for no reason, I'll call you back.” Deputy District Attorney David Stein believes that Grant's phone call proves that Grant did not want to resist arrest that night. Cell phone records showed two calls between Grant and Mesa: at 2:05 a.m. and 2:09 a.m., the latter just two minutes before Grant was shot.
June 15: Three eye witnesses of the account testified that neither Grant nor the other suspects actively resisted the officers at any time. Each expressed disgust at the behavior from officers preceding the shooting that night.
June 22: Jackie Bryson, one of Grant's friends “who was kneeling and handcuffed just inches from Grant when Johannes Mehserle shot him”, testified for the prosecution. Bryson said that Grant's hands were under Grant's body and Grant said: “I quit. I surrender.” Mehserle then supposedly said “Fuck this” before shooting Grant. Defense attorney Rains repeatedly accused Bryson of lying to convict Mehserle and pointed out a video showing Bryson running towards the train while handcuffed. Responding to Mehserle's question “You were going to leave your friend on that platform, weren't you?” Bryson said “I would never leave my friend.” Rains accused Bryson of being inconsistent from statements in Bryson's lawsuit against BART, and Bryson admitted that he lied to investigators, distrusted the police, and was frequently stressed after Grant died.
June 25: Mehserle took the witness stand. Sobbing, he said that he thought that he was not holding his gun until he heard a pop and looked at his right hand. Responding to a question from Rains, he recalled Grant saying “you shot me” right after the shot went off. Judge Perry called a recess after a member of the public heckled Mehserle to “save those fucking tears”; the heckler was later arrested for contempt of court.
Make your own decision, but blindly saying that there is no racial bias in the law enforcement community is simply not reflective of the statistics.

FWIW, I'm a white Oaklander, and while I've lived much of my life outside the US (as even more of a minority) Oakland is my only American hometown. I love it deeply and cry for it often.
What I think is this:
A basic rule of thumb is that people who have had to deal with a lot of unfairness tend to overreact and over-interpret situations, connecting dots where there aren't any.
One example I can think of is how so many white suburban women went completely ballistic when anyone said something about Hillary Clinton during the primary. Sometimes they were right to see a sexist affront and other times they were not. But the reason they saw sexism in so many references to her was, well, for a reason, even if they weren't right in all situations.
Anyone who feels oppressed or offended always asks, “Would X have done/said that to Y if Y wasn't Z?” When I'm in a park and my children are off playing and the soccer moms get nervous when I speak to their children, yes, I'm forced to wonder if they'd react that way if I was a woman. I'm sure I'm right some of the time. In the meantime as a while male I know well enough what it's like to have someone (esp white women, and I'm all the more suspect for marrying an Asian!) misinterpret something I've said or my actions. Such is life.
Every black person in urban cities, especially men, have had, or have close relatives who have had, treatment from the police that leave them wondering…. is this because I'm black? EVEN BLACK COPS have this nagging worry that they'll be off duty in their own neighborhoods, see something and pull their badge and gun only to be shot at by a uniformed cop for being a black person with a gun. Something like that recently happened in NYC – whether or not it was in fact because he was black will never be known, but when black cops are worried about this there's got to be something to it.
At the very least it is psychologically oppressive if you have to go through life even occasionally wondering about such things, all while living in your own country. Most of my black friends figured out that life isn't fair before I did, and it's not as if it's fair for me, either, but it might've taken me yet longer had I lived in Walnut Creek. I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

So far in my life I've met more Black people with racist attitudes than whites, and Blacks are what 12-14% of the population? But hey, Blacks cannot be racist because they were victims of slavery 150 yrs ago and discrimination 30 yrs ago. So that gives them a right to riot when their racist attitudes parlay an accidental shooting into a murder, right? I guess it does, according to the media and white guilt liberals like SM and others. Sad, so sad that they can't see the truth of their own racism and how charlatans like John Burris, Barbara Lee, Ron Dellums, Jesse Jackson, and dare I say Barack Obama do more harm to the Black people than good.
Hell when one of their own Bill Cosby stands up and says to take responsibility for yourselves, be fathers and mothers to your children, raise them with values, he gets run out of town on a rail. Let them wallow in their own contemptuous self victimization. THAT is why the Black community as a whole will always be the downtrodden. They have too many generations of suckling on the tit of the government.
As for the Mesherle case, the jury got it right. Involuntary manslaughter.
