BART cops shoot unarmed man - had "criminal history"

What's wrong with a cop killing someone? I mean, isn't that what they do?

If we outlaw homicide, only outlaws will homicide.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah I...

I was trying to make a humorjoke there, with the sarcasms and all.

I think what the officer did was abhorrent and there is no reason under the sun to shoot an unarmed man in the back, period, end of sentence.

You know how it is sometimes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
