On the next Your Call, we'll open up a dialogue about our justice system. BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle was given a two year sentence for the killing of unarmed suspect Oscar Grant. Who does our criminal justice system protect and who does it target? When protesters chanted "We're all Oscar Grant" -- did you think they were talking about you? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What's our responsibility as a community to push for justice? And what does that look like? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Jack Bryson, father of Nigel and Jackie Bryson, friends of Oscar Grant who witnessed his death
Tshaka Barrows, program manager for Community Justice Network for Youth (CJNY)
Aram James, retired Santa Clara County Public Defender of 25 years and justice activist
