At approximately 2:15 AM on New Year's Day, Oscar Grant, a young, unarmed black man was shot by police officers while laying face-down on a BART subway platform in Oakland, California. This is one of the many videos that are circulating online about the incident. The videos document Grant being restrained, laying face-down on the platform and with two officers restraining him - one with his knee on the back of Grant's neck. Within seconds, the second officer restraining Grant rises to his feet, unholsters his gun and fires one shot into Grant's back. Grant died seven hours later in a nearby hospital.
