Grant’s friend tells of rough handling by police before, after Grant’s shooting
(6/15) — 00:55 PDT — LOS ANGELES — One of BART shooting victim Oscar Grant’s friends described Monday the events leading up to the New Year’s Day 2009 shooting as witness testimony in the second-degree murder trial of Johannes Mehserle, the former BART Police officer who shot Grant, continued.
22-year-old Carlos Reyes, who was only two feet away from Grant at the time of the shooting, said the incident began after a short fight between Grant and another man on the BART train.
When the train stopped at the Fruitvale BART station, former BART Police Officer Anthony Pirone, who was the first police officer to reach the scene, “grabbed my shoulder and pulled me toward the wall,” Reyes testified.
“[Pirone] came up behind Michael [Greer, another of Grant’s friends] and put his arm around his neck, choking him kind of.
He threw him down face first […] then he kneed him a couple of times,” Reyes said.
