Fruitvale Station is a 2013 independent dramatization of the events leading up to and the shooting of Oscar Grant by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) officers on New Years Day, 2009. The film was the feature debut of writer/director Ryan Coogler and was the first leading role for Michael B. Jordan, who played Oscar Grant. The film was produced by actor/director Forest Whitaker and was done with the full cooperation of BART, who allowed filming at Fruitvale Station, where the actual shooting occurred, and even the precise location where Grant was shot. The names of the BART officers involved in the incident were changed, however.
The following weapons were used in the film Fruitvale Station:
Advanced Taser M26
BART Officer Salazar (Alejandra Nolasco) is armed with an Advanced Taser M26.
Special
