"Five pals of the man shot dead by BART police on New Year's Day have filed a claim accusing the rapid transit system of illegal search and seizure, excessive force, and false arrest and are demanding $1.5 million. The claim was filed by lawyer John Burris, who earlier sued BART for $25 million on behalf of the family of Oscar Grant, and was brought about at the behest of Nigel Bryson, Jackie Bryson, Michael Greer, Carlos Reyes, and Fernando Anicete.&amp;nbsp; In addition to watching the mortal wounding of their \"life-long friend\" Grant, the group accuse BART police of punching them, repeatedly threatening to tase them in the faces and, on one occasion, shouting \"Shut up, niggah\" at the group.&amp;nbsp;  You can read the entire document here: BRYSON ET AL CLAIM.pdf"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
