Nice to know John Burris is continuing to stoke his clients' gravy train:
Five men who were with Oscar Grant when he was shot dead by a BART police officer on New Year's Day asked the transit agency for $1.5 million Wednesday, saying their civil rights were violated when officers detained them at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland.
By submitting a legal claim against BART, Grant's friends - brothers Nigel and Jackie Bryson, Michael Greer, Carlos Reyes and Fernando "June" Anicete - signaled their intent to sue. Their attorney, John Burris, has already filed a $25 million claim on behalf of Grant's family. The $1.5 million would be divided among the five.
Look. I've lived in an urban area long enough to know this brand of little thug. They should thank their lucky fucking stars that lawyers like John Burris are aching to take their case and thereby get themselves in the headlines.
