Decades of brake dust from BART and Muni trains, plus the grime brought into the stations by humans, have caked the walls in filth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main reason that Embarcadero is such a problem station with the walls getting as dark as they do is that it’s the first station out of the Transbay Tube,\" Trost said. \"The walls collect all the subway grime and train brake dust that blows out from the tube.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, a decades-old textile installation, \"Legs\" by Barbara Shawcroft, was \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/visualarts/article.jsp?essid=121315\" target=\"_blank\">removed from the station\u003c/a>.

Decades of brake dust from BART and Muni trains, plus the grime brought into the stations by humans, have caked the walls in filth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main reason that Embarcadero is such a problem station with the walls getting as dark as they do is that it’s the first station out of the Transbay Tube,\" Trost said. \"The walls collect all the subway grime and train brake dust that blows out from the tube.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, a decades-old textile installation, \"Legs\" by Barbara Shawcroft, was \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/visualarts/article.jsp?essid=121315\" target=\"_blank\">removed from the station\u003c/a>.

BART settled one of those suits, filed on behalf of Grant's mother and daughter, for $2.8 million. The agency also paid $175,000 to settle a suit by several of the men detained with Grant on the Fruitvale platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant's father's suit claimed that Mehserle had wrongfully denied him a family relationship with his son. That claim was disputed by the defense, which pointed out that the elder Grant has been in prison, serving a life sentence for murder, since his son was an infant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That argument appeared to sway the jury of six women and four men, who were asked to answer two questions: Did Oscar Grant's father prove that he had maintained a deep familial relationship with his son? And did Mehserle harm the younger Grant \"with a purpose … unrelated to a legitimate law enforcement objective?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury unanimously answered no to both questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Grant shooting touched off a series of protests in Oakland and demands that Mehserle face trial in the case. Alameda County prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder. During his trial in Los Angeles, Mehserle testified that the shooting was a mistake. Mehserle said that as he and other officers attempted to handcuff Grant, who was face-down on the southbound Fruitvale platform, he intended to draw his Taser to subdue the 22-year-old Hayward resident. Instead, he drew his semi-automatic pistol and shot him in the back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Los Angeles jury convicted him of a lesser charge, involuntary manslaughter.

Over the years, I've had people offer free instruction on child-rearing, dog-walking and the proper method of standing in line. I'd be lying if I said I haven't been tempted to do the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've noticed this penchant for instruction asserting itself recently in matters related to parking in residential neighborhoods, usually by way of homemade signs alerting motorists to local conditions of which they might not be aware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129880\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/photo-1-e1395256229932.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-129880\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/photo-1-e1395256229932-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"More impromptu parking control.

(Dan Brekke/KQED) \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sometimes the advisories are helpful. Folks a block over from where I live very helpfully put up placards on street-sweeping days, presumably so people parking in the area can avoid tickets. Sometimes the notices are peremptory, directives on how to park, and what should be parked, in a given space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one level, it's probably an exercise in consciousness-raising: \"Hey, Mr. Driver, I bet you didn't realize \u003cem>you don't have to hog the whole space\u003c/em>!\" Or, \"It's not nice of you to park your SUV here where two Honda Fits would, um, fit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another level, one wonders how much control people expect to have over their surroundings. As someone who's occasionally irritated by commuters turning his street into a weekday parking lot, with much of the attendant rudeness and lack of care that implies, I kind of sympathize. I watch drivers park with the back end of their cars hanging over into other people's driveways, get out and check their handiwork, then walk off to catch BART or the casual carpool or their Google bus. (And no, I generally don't want to get people ticketed; besides, I've had a Berkeley cop tell me he'd write a ticket only when a car was parked so far over the driveway that it actually made it impossible to get in or out.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, neighbors far and wide continue their effort to enlighten the driving public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An excellent recent example of someone who's taking management of their curb space to new heights comes (above right) from a homeowner in North Berkeley who wants parkers to recognize that they are invited to pull partway across the driveway. He or she has actually created an extra parking space (a considerate gesture given the number of commuters driving to the neighborhood. The sign says: \"If you are going to park here, pull up to this bin so another car can park here. We appreciate your cooperation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129885\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/berkeleyparking5.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-129885\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/berkeleyparking5-640x562.jpg\" alt=\"(Dan Brekke/KQED)\" width=\"640\" height=\"562\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If San Francisco is \"the city that knows how\" — we'll leave that debate for later — then Berkeley is surely \"the city that knows how \u003cem>you\u003c/em> should do it.\" Having lived there for decades, I've come to wonder whether there's anywhere on earth where total strangers are so willing to offer advice and direction on all topics, the vital and the trivial alike. Over the years, I've had people offer free instruction on child-rearing, dog-walking and the proper method of standing in line. I'd be lying if I said I haven't been tempted to do the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've noticed this penchant for instruction asserting itself recently in matters related to parking in residential neighborhoods, usually by way of homemade signs alerting motorists to local conditions of which they might not be aware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129880\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/photo-1-e1395256229932.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-129880\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/photo-1-e1395256229932-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"More impromptu parking control.

(Dan Brekke/KQED) \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sometimes the advisories are helpful. Folks a block over from where I live very helpfully put up placards on street-sweeping days, presumably so people parking in the area can avoid tickets. Sometimes the notices are peremptory, directives on how to park, and what should be parked, in a given space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one level, it's probably an exercise in consciousness-raising: \"Hey, Mr. Driver, I bet you didn't realize \u003cem>you don't have to hog the whole space\u003c/em>!\" Or, \"It's not nice of you to park your SUV here where two Honda Fits would, um, fit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another level, one wonders how much control people expect to have over their surroundings. As someone who's occasionally irritated by commuters turning his street into a weekday parking lot, with much of the attendant rudeness and lack of care that implies, I kind of sympathize. I watch drivers park with the back end of their cars hanging over into other people's driveways, get out and check their handiwork, then walk off to catch BART or the casual carpool or their Google bus. (And no, I generally don't want to get people ticketed; besides, I've had a Berkeley cop tell me he'd write a ticket only when a car was parked so far over the driveway that it actually made it impossible to get in or out.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I usually work late, but I rarely feel threatened — there are always plenty of riders at that time, plus I’m good at putting up defenses. I’m small, but (or maybe because of that) I’m street-smart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it didn’t bother me when a few stops later, an extremely drunk black man — whose name I later overheard by the police cuffing him to be Robert — crashed onto the seat next to me. I was near the entrance, in a seating area where four seats faced one another, and the train was relatively packed, so I didn’t feel particularly isolated or targeted. He smelled of booze and his words were slurred, but he asked me about the book I was reading and I could tell that he was harmless. This is an opinion I have maintained and have repeated countless times to several police throughout the whole ordeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… I asked him where he was headed, and he told me he was from East Oakland but that he was going to Richmond, where his sister would pick him up. I suggested he get onto the opposite platform, since this train was headed to Millbrae. He politely asked if he was bothering me and said that he would leave me alone, but that he wanted to keep sitting next to me because I was a beautiful and good person. I assured him that he wasn’t a problem—I have a bizarrely high tolerance for friendly drunk/drugged out randos …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… I was \u003cem>never\u003c/em> concerned about my safety. If I really felt worried, I would have moved, or I could have indicated my discomfort by at the very least moving my backpack and phone away from him. Not only did I do neither of these things, I continued to engage, smile, laugh, and generally go along with the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I was just as surprised as Robert was when a BART policeman boarded the train at San Bruno and (in his defense) politely asked him to disembark so that he could ask a few questions. I didn’t realize until a few minutes later that someone had specifically called the police, reporting Robert for some unknown reason. Robert didn’t want to go, understandably, and asked why he should get up. I vouched for Robert — I told the cop that he wasn’t bothering me, and that it was totally okay with me if he wanted to continue on. The cop repeated (again, in his defense, in a friendly tone) that he just wanted to ask a few questions, that it wouldn’t take too long, and that Robert would be free to get onto the next train. Robert said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few relatively civil back-and-forths, the cop lightly touched his shoulder, saying “come on, let’s just talk on the platform.” Robert shook him off. This continued for a bit. Eventually, it escalated to the point where the cop was physically pulling him up from the seat with two hands, and Robert was pushing the cop off him. When both men were standing, Robert cornered by the door to the next carriage and the cop standing in the path to the main entrance, Robert asked again and again why the cop wanted him to get off the train, and that he hadn’t done anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…At one point, Robert got very aggravated and tried to sit down again, or maybe it was that he was just shouting and the cop got tired of trying to peacefully usher Robert out of the train. So he pulled out his taser and told Robert that if he didn’t disembark the train, he would tase him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… He \u003cem>literally didn’t do anything\u003c/em>, and on top of that, he was a genuinely nice guy. We were having an admittedly uncomfortable conversation, but only because I was tired and didn’t want to talk to anyone, not because I didn’t want to talk to \u003cem>him. \u003c/em>So he was completely in the right to ask for what reason the cop wanted him off the train, and to not get off until that question was answered. Unfortunately for him, he ran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the cop’s credit, he didn’t pull the trigger right away. He gave ample warning, enough so that the man on the diagonal seating (next to where Robert was standing, backed against the doors to the next carriage) had bodily covered the woman next to him in anticipation of the scene that was seconds from occuring. Robert moved around the carriage, at one point sitting next to me again. At this point, I genuinely feared being accidentally tased myself; the taser points a red laser beam at its target, and I saw that target slip to me for a split-second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, Robert didn’t “cooperate,” and the cop shot him. Watching someone get tased is one of the worst things I have ever seen—I can’t imagine actually \u003cem>being \u003c/em>tased. Robert limply fell over onto the seats in front of me, crying and twitching, and the cop leaned over to lift him outside. Robert tried to get up again, and the cop threatened to tase him a second time. Finding that he was too heavy, the cop ended up dragging him to the entrance. (The soundtrack of this memory will always be the man diagonal incredulously breathing, “oh my god… oh my god.”) The cop called for backup, and a few others came in time for Robert to regain some control and start resisting again. As the cops cuffed him and held him down, Robert tearfully shouted that he hadn’t done anything wrong, that everyone on the train saw, that we take videos and pictures and prevent another Rodney King incident. Despite the two other officers physically restraining Robert, the initial officer tased him a second time, with a sickening five-second shock that was both excessive and unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… To their credit, the cops that came afterwards were as compassionate as they could be in the situation. He was kicking around (understandably), but they were gentle and nicely told him they wanted him to stop kicking them so that he could sit up on a bench and drink some water. He wouldn’t, eventually breaking down crying uncontrollably and repeating that he hadn’t done anything. Watching him get strapped into a body-binding contraption so that they could move him, while he plaintively cried his innocence, might have broken the last intact piece of my heart. … An officer asked if I would give a statement, and I immediately stepped off the train in compliance\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m hesitant to jump to the “police brutality” conclusion, because the aggression wasn’t totally unprovoked. Yes, the cop definitely shouldn’t have used the taser, but at the same time, Robert shouldn’t have resisted the cop for so long. That being said, Robert should have never been stopped in the first place, because he wasn’t posing a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So really — what’s the best-case scenario? There is none, and that’s what makes this so awful and heartbreaking and outrageous. A man sits next to a woman on public transit, is asked to leave the train, doesn’t, then gets tased, dragged, cuffed, forcibly bound, and carried out. It’s really not more complicated than that …\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View BART Police Event Record for Robert James Asberry on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/207007443/BART-Police-Event-Record-for-Robert-James-Asberry\">BART Police Event Record for Robert James Asberry\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_63441\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/207007443/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He smelled of booze and his words were slurred, but he asked me about the book I was reading and I could tell that he was harmless. This is an opinion I have maintained and have repeated countless times to several police throughout the whole ordeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… I asked him where he was headed, and he told me he was from East Oakland but that he was going to Richmond, where his sister would pick him up. I suggested he get onto the opposite platform, since this train was headed to Millbrae. He politely asked if he was bothering me and said that he would leave me alone, but that he wanted to keep sitting next to me because I was a beautiful and good person. I assured him that he wasn’t a problem—I have a bizarrely high tolerance for friendly drunk/drugged out randos …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… I was \u003cem>never\u003c/em> concerned about my safety. If I really felt worried, I would have moved, or I could have indicated my discomfort by at the very least moving my backpack and phone away from him. Not only did I do neither of these things, I continued to engage, smile, laugh, and generally go along with the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I was just as surprised as Robert was when a BART policeman boarded the train at San Bruno and (in his defense) politely asked him to disembark so that he could ask a few questions. I didn’t realize until a few minutes later that someone had specifically called the police, reporting Robert for some unknown reason. Robert didn’t want to go, understandably, and asked why he should get up. I vouched for Robert — I told the cop that he wasn’t bothering me, and that it was totally okay with me if he wanted to continue on. The cop repeated (again, in his defense, in a friendly tone) that he just wanted to ask a few questions, that it wouldn’t take too long, and that Robert would be free to get onto the next train. Robert said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few relatively civil back-and-forths, the cop lightly touched his shoulder, saying “come on, let’s just talk on the platform.” Robert shook him off. This continued for a bit. Eventually, it escalated to the point where the cop was physically pulling him up from the seat with two hands, and Robert was pushing the cop off him. When both men were standing, Robert cornered by the door to the next carriage and the cop standing in the path to the main entrance, Robert asked again and again why the cop wanted him to get off the train, and that he hadn’t done anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…At one point, Robert got very aggravated and tried to sit down again, or maybe it was that he was just shouting and the cop got tired of trying to peacefully usher Robert out of the train. So he pulled out his taser and told Robert that if he didn’t disembark the train, he would tase him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… He \u003cem>literally didn’t do anything\u003c/em>, and on top of that, he was a genuinely nice guy. We were having an admittedly uncomfortable conversation, but only because I was tired and didn’t want to talk to anyone, not because I didn’t want to talk to \u003cem>him. \u003c/em>So he was completely in the right to ask for what reason the cop wanted him off the train, and to not get off until that question was answered. Unfortunately for him, he ran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To the cop’s credit, he didn’t pull the trigger right away. He gave ample warning, enough so that the man on the diagonal seating (next to where Robert was standing, backed against the doors to the next carriage) had bodily covered the woman next to him in anticipation of the scene that was seconds from occuring. Robert moved around the carriage, at one point sitting next to me again. At this point, I genuinely feared being accidentally tased myself; the taser points a red laser beam at its target, and I saw that target slip to me for a split-second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, Robert didn’t “cooperate,” and the cop shot him. Watching someone get tased is one of the worst things I have ever seen—I can’t imagine actually \u003cem>being \u003c/em>tased. Robert limply fell over onto the seats in front of me, crying and twitching, and the cop leaned over to lift him outside. Robert tried to get up again, and the cop threatened to tase him a second time. Finding that he was too heavy, the cop ended up dragging him to the entrance. (The soundtrack of this memory will always be the man diagonal incredulously breathing, “oh my god… oh my god.”) The cop called for backup, and a few others came in time for Robert to regain some control and start resisting again. As the cops cuffed him and held him down, Robert tearfully shouted that he hadn’t done anything wrong, that everyone on the train saw, that we take videos and pictures and prevent another Rodney King incident. Despite the two other officers physically restraining Robert, the initial officer tased him a second time, with a sickening five-second shock that was both excessive and unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… To their credit, the cops that came afterwards were as compassionate as they could be in the situation. He was kicking around (understandably), but they were gentle and nicely told him they wanted him to stop kicking them so that he could sit up on a bench and drink some water. He wouldn’t, eventually breaking down crying uncontrollably and repeating that he hadn’t done anything. Watching him get strapped into a body-binding contraption so that they could move him, while he plaintively cried his innocence, might have broken the last intact piece of my heart. … An officer asked if I would give a statement, and I immediately stepped off the train in compliance\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m hesitant to jump to the “police brutality” conclusion, because the aggression wasn’t totally unprovoked. Yes, the cop definitely shouldn’t have used the taser, but at the same time, Robert shouldn’t have resisted the cop for so long. That being said, Robert should have never been stopped in the first place, because he wasn’t posing a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So really — what’s the best-case scenario? There is none, and that’s what makes this so awful and heartbreaking and outrageous. A man sits next to a woman on public transit, is asked to leave the train, doesn’t, then gets tased, dragged, cuffed, forcibly bound, and carried out. It’s really not more complicated than that …\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View BART Police Event Record for Robert James Asberry on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/207007443/BART-Police-Event-Record-for-Robert-James-Asberry\">BART Police Event Record for Robert James Asberry\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
