-------------------------------------------------------



In San Francisco, dozens of protesters took over a central transit
station on Thursday to call for the firing of a police officer linked to
the 2009 shooting of the unarmed African American passenger Oscar Grant.
The officer, Anthony Pirone, had arrested Grant before another officer
shot Grant to death.
