This is only the beginning of the work that needs doing in the case of Oscar
Grant, given for example there was no justice for example in the case of
Shapell Terell.
The point being, do not sigh with relief.
Dear Oscar Grant: Shapell Terell - a Chicago Sanitation Worker was shot 14
times in the back, June, 2008

*(01-13) 21:36 PST Oakland* -- Johannes Mehserle, the former BART police
officer who shot and killed an unarmed man on an Oakland train platform on
New Year's Day, was arrested in Nevada today in connection with the
shooting, The Chronicle has learned.

Mehserle, 27, was taken into custody in Douglas County, Nevada, said Deputy
Steve Velez of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. The arrest was also
confirmed by David Chai, chief of staff to Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums.
Mehserle was arrested in connection with an investigation by the Oakland
Police Department into the shooting of Oscar Grant, 22. An Alameda County
judge signed an arrest warrant, and Mehserle surrendered without incident,
authorities said.
Douglas County sheriff's officials refused to disclose what crime Mehserle
was accused of committing in the arrest warrant. Deputy Velez said Sheriff
Ron P. Pierini would make a statement on Wednesday.
Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff was also expected to announce
details of the arrest Wednesday.
Efforts to reach attorneys for Mehserle were unsuccessful.
The arrest comes on the eve of a scheduled protest at 4 p.m. Wednesday
outside Oakland City Hall, the latest in a series of demonstrations in which
BART has been accused of mishandling the shooting investigation.
On Monday, BART police turned over the results of their preliminary
investigation to Orloff's office. The separate investigation by Oakland
police was launched last week. The state Attorney General is also monitoring
the case.
BART officers had detained Grant and several other passengers at about 2
a.m. on Jan. 1 as they investigated a fight aboard a train from San
Francisco.
Grant was lying face-down when Mehserle pulled his service weapon from his
holster and fired one shot into his back.
Mehserle resigned last Wednesday rather than answer questions from BART
investigators.
His departure came the same day Grant was buried and a peaceful protest at
the Fruitvale BART Station erupted into violence in downtown Oakland.
Demonstrators set cars on fire and broke windows at dozens of businesses. By
night's end, police arrested 105 people.
