Ex-BART officer Johannes Mehserle

Protesters plan to stake out the offices of KTVU in Oakland until 5 p.m. Monday to denounce the television station's "biased" coverage of Johannes Mehserle, the former BART police officer convicted of fatally shooting Oscar Grant III on New Year's Day 2009.

The focus of the Coalition for Justice for Oscar Grant's disdain is Mehserle's first televised interview Thursday with KTVU reporter Rita Williams. Mehserle told Williams he wanted to do the interview to share his side of the story. "Over the last couple of years, I haven't really had a chance to say anything. … I know for most people who don't know me, I've been portrayed differently than who I actually am. This is more for the public to see who I am. I'm not asking any sympathy at all," he said during the interview.

The group said they'd like Williams to be fired and also said they plan to file complaints with the Federal Communications Commission for the immediate suspension of KTVU's license. The group released a statement from Rachel Jackson of the New Years Movement for Justice denouncing the Mehserle interview.

"Rita Williams' recent 'interview' of Mehserle was not that of an authentic reporter, but a shockingly dishonest, untruthful PR stunt with the intention of creating a more sympathetic picture of Mehserle for his sentencing judge, Robert Perry, and KTVU's viewers," she said.

Mehserle's sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 5.
