Police shooting of Oscar Grant

This is the best video I have seen to get a feel for what was going on between the cops and the crowd. That's a damn Circus. If they weren't harassing these cops, then the cops would have been handling this situation much quicker(instead of having to keep the crowd from interfering.) You can see how you can't tell what the situation was like(very bad) unless you see a video with proper audio. It's not an excuse for what the officer did, but it's not like it was a calm situation. Not the calm situation it appears to be on the videos that don't offer audio.
