Johannes Mehserle, the former BART police officer who killed Oscar Grant on New Year’s Day in 2009, has been released from jail. He received a two-year prison sentence but was released just after midnight on Monday morning...“So many people have died at the hands of the police and all they have to do is say, ‘Oh, I think they were armed,’...and the police get away with it...It’s the thing for the cops to say and they know they can get off. It’s painting the message that a badge is a license to kill.”
