Last week, a jury in Oakland ruled that the shooting death of Oscar Grant was involuntary manslaughter: Johannes Mehserle, the Bay Area Rapid Transit officer who shot Grant, they decided, was reaching for his taser, not his gun and did not mean to kill the young African-American man. But the statistics on police shootings of young men of color tell a different story: this happens too often to be an accident.

Rosa Clemente, former Green Party Vice-Presidential candidate and hip-hop activist, and James Rucker, co-founder of Color of Change, join Laura to talk about the aftermath of the verdict, what justice for Oscar Grant would look like, and why it's a bigger problem than one officer's jail sentence--or lack thereof.
