Via MercuryNews.com:
The BART Board of Directors apologized Thursday for the officer-involved shooting death of Oscar Grant and agreed to set up a board committee to review police procedures and consider the possibility of creating a BART civilian police review board.
Following six hours of testimony by 60 speakers, board members said they were personally apologizing for the death of Grant.
"I'm sorry," said Gail Murray, a board member from Walnut Creek, in summarizing sentiments of the board.
Joel Keller, a board member from Antioch said he viewed videotapes of the incident and said he saw no reason why the officer should have shot Grant.
