The shooting occurred at the Fruitvale train station on January 1st, 2009. At the station, a fight broke out in one of the trains and when the train stopped the fight started again outside of the train at one of the stops. While they were fighting on the train the BART officers were called. The officers came and arrested everyone that was in the fight. A guy named Oscar Grant was in the fight and was also arrested (Meyer). While Grant was being arrested by Officer Mehserle, he resisted the officer’s attempts. Since Grant was resisting he was pushed onto the ground on his stomach to be handcuffed. Johannes Mehserle was having trouble handcuffing Grant so the other BART officers helped him. When Grant was on the ground Mehserle was going to tase him since he would not stop resisting. When Mehserle thought he pulled out his TASER, he instead pulled out his gun.

Immediately, as a reader, one would automatically assume that the officer shot the man to death, even though he was "unarmed." What the media does not show is the side of the officer. For instance, the officer claimed that the man had pointed a device towards the officers that looked like a gun, which would provide objective reason for the officer taking out his gun. Even though it ended up not being a gun, the officer did not want to find out the hard way that the man was actually armed with something that would risk his life.

He was arrested and charged with murder. Though Gampero said he didn’t murder anyone. H said he was trying to break up a fight that had happened outside a bowling alley. Though as this turned out Gamperro would be arrested. Though I feel in my opinion that Gamperro at the time was probably being set up. Though when he went to court they offered him a deal of 25 years for manslaughter. I do believe that a little bit of deception was playing out. The judge at the time was like if you don’t take this the jury will find you “guilty”, and would get the maximum sentence.

On the regular some of his offenses that seemed normal to Escobar, were hosting drug and booze fueled parties. The Colombian system allowed him to continue that prison lifestyle until, that is, when Pablo ordered four of his trusted lieutenants to not only tortured, but to also kill at the famous La Catedral prison of the compound in a disagreement over some money. It was up to that point that the government said no more to his continuous offences and were fed up to the point that they decided to move Pablo to a military connection. The president Cesar Gaviria and his executive assistant decided that enough was enough and sent two unarmed officials (a deputy justice minister and the chief of the national prison system) to inform the changes made to Pablo Escobar prison in order for the prison to be more secure and honestly it might of not costed the government any money for Escobar’s self-designed prison, but it did cost them many life’s of many residents in the city of Medellin and in Colombia in
