Patricia Johnson (left), sister of Anita Gay killed in her house by the Berkeley police: "Hopefully no one else will be shot down like my sister. She had four kids. She just became a grandmother, but she'll never see that sweet little boy. Her kids have to go on without her. All of us are here because we feel each others pain and it’s a pain that never goes away. So we are saying: "enough is enough!" Matter of fact, it's been too much, too long for people in this city and other cities – the head people -- to just keep turning the other way. Looking the other way. Making up excuses. Making no one accountable for all these murders. Who do we turn to? What do we do? Where do we go? Who is going to stand up and say: "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" It's really sad to say in this day and age this is going on. You know they used to lynch us. Now they're just shooting us down. Just shooting us down like it’s the thing to do. And its not just here. It's everywhere."

Kathleen Espinosa (right): "I am the mother of Asa Sullivan, killed June 6, 2006. Sixteen bullets. He had no weapon. No mother should have to stand here and tell you that their son was killed. It's time for the public to know what is going on. It's time for the records to be opened. I'm so glad that Oscar's incident was on tape. Thank god for video cameras. Why is there not any accountability? Why does the public not see what happens. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"
