Tara, close friend of Julio Paredes killed by Oakland Police, July 4, 2005: "I'm speaking for my friend Julio Paredes who was killed by the Oakland police in front of the Oaks Club on July 4, 2005. They tried to say he stole a car and they shot him in the back of the head. That was just an excuse; you know what I'm saying. They're always making excuses. I'm also here to represent for Oscar Grant and all the people who were killed by the fucking police. Fuck the police that's what I got to say. They're always killing our people. And then they say that Oscar Grant was drunk. Come on, that ain't no reason to take somebody's life! That's the same thing they said about my friend Julio. They shot him in the back of his head, execution style for no reason. FUCK THE POLICE!"
