I’m tired, ya’ll. Too tired to be angry. So tired of all this shit. The tiredness won’t last forever, of course; I’ll rebound, as I must. But I need a break.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, though — I’m cautiously heartened by this.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mehserle was arrested in the New Year’s Day shooting of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old supermarket worker from Hayward who was lying facedown after being pulled off a BART train by police investigating a fight. An Alameda County judge signed an arrest warrant alleging murder, and Mehserle surrendered without incident, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The shooting, which was recorded by passengers in videos widely circulated on the Internet and television, prompted public outrage, and some viewers said that the shooting appeared to be an execution.<\/p>\n

Sources said Mehserle was in Nevada because he feared for his safety after death threats were made against him. Douglas County is 15 miles south of Carson City in northwestern Nevada and includes part of Lake Tahoe.<\/p>\n

Mehserle’s attorney, Christopher W. Miller of Sacramento, confirmed early today that his client was arrested on suspicion of murder. He said he would not comment further until a news conference today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m waiting to hear the charges. If they’re anything less than first-degree murder, I’m going to feel very tired again.<\/p>\n

If anybody’s going to the protest today in Oakland, can you report in on how it went, in the comments?<\/p>\n
