BART cops shoot unarmed man - had "criminal history"

BART appeals for calm as footage shows shooting

Quote:

(01-04) 19:38 PST Oakland -- BART's police chief asked for patience from the public on Sunday after video footage surfaced showing one of his officers fatally shooting an unarmed man who was on the ground on a station platform on New Year's Day, and after an attorney for the dead man's family said he planned to sue the transit agency for $25 million.

Chief Gary Gee said he, too, had seen video images of the shooting of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old supermarket worker from Hayward. But Gee said he found the footage to be inconclusive, and he said his investigators still needed to interview a key witness - the officer himself.

Hmm a cop drawing his weapon and shooting an unarmed subdued man in the back, that doesn't prove wrongdoing.

They don't just let them go about armed, they let them go about armed with M4 Carbines. Supposedly it's because the rifle bullets will maintain velocity in the long distances of the sub stations, but a, rifle rounds penetrate, and b, they let them carry the rifles onto the trains where they can easily get snagged on shit.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At least your innocent police shooting victim was running away at least? vv

Uh, there is no conspiracy, the Police Union rushes to the defense of every cop accused of killing innocent people.

The Blue Shield is the reason people Don't Snitch.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmm, an endless stream of innocent people, mostly black, shot and killed by police officers that get off the hook because of police stonewalling and now that one police shooting is caught on tape the Police Chief wants to "review the evidence" hmm why would I make this thread it's a fucking mystery.

Listen being a cop is hard, alright? Therefore they should be under no scrutiny.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
