Seeking Empathy at Johannes Mehserle - Oscar Grant Demonstrations in Walnut Creek, CA

On July 19, 2010 a rally was held in Walnut Creek, California to support the BART Police Officer, Johannes Mehserle who was convicted of shooting Oscar Grant. A counter rally was also held and a heated confrontation between the two sides ensued. I went to talk with participants on all sides about their views and experience of the value of empathy. The following video gives an overview of the event and below are the full interviews.
