The Daily Tube review
The shooting of Oscar Grant took place New Year's Day, after he was apprehended for fighting in a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) facility. Left to question are whether or not the officer actually meant to grab for his taser or not, and how the resulting riots took place. Many speculate that there were mostly non-violent protests following the shooting, with one violent group grabbing all of the media attention. Regardless, without this YouTube documentation clearly showing the gun unholstered and fired on an unarmed man being detained face down, there might've also been many unanswered questions as to how Oscar Grant was, in fact, shot.
