FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Last Sunday, an Oakland police officer shot Tony Jones in the back and seriously wounded him as the black man was running away from a police car. Oakland police claims the officer shot Jones because he was carrying a firearm after leaving a car they believed was involved in a robbery.
“He made a mistake running, but that didn’t give them the right to shoot him in the back,” said the 24-year-old’s attorney, Waukeen McCoy.
Jones’ mother has also accused the Oakland police of having used unnecessary force against her son.
Protesters have planned a Wednesday night rally in front of the Oakland City Hall at Frank Ogawa Plaza.
His cousin, Oscar Grant, was shot dead by Bay Area Rapid Transit Police officer, Johannes Mehserle, on New Year’s Day in 2009, while lying on the platform in a railway station. Mehserle later claimed that he had thought he had his taser in his hand rather than his gun.
The shooting, which was shown on YouTube, led to a riot in Oakland and has since become a rallying point for Oakland anti-police demonstrators, who consider the case as an example of the US police’s brutality and racism.
