the officer was probably ex-idf & dude on the bart platform was wearing a kafeyahIs this an example of an officer choosing not to extend "professional courtesy" to his fellow citizen?
The dude in the chair was clearly in the wrong.Here is our famous local version of discretionary enforcement.
The guy in the wheelchair was later ticketed for jay-wheelchairing while in the emergency room.
Clearly the cop was Jesus and tried to "Heal" the person in the chair with his magic power car.Here is our famous local version of discretionary enforcement.

Police chief determined that the officer was not in the wrong, as there was no way he could have seen the guy. It seems that folks are not supposed to look where they are going before turning left, that is what makes cycling or riding a motorcycle on the road so much fun and why those in wheel chairs should wear helmets.The dude in the chair was clearly in the wrong.
Sometimes fate is your only choice. :biggrin:I've totally done the same thing when I accidentally hit the wrong hole, but thought "ah ****, I'm here, might as well just go with it."
Or herpes...Sometimes fate is your only choice. :biggrin:
not to a juryThat video shows very little that's useful, actually.
See note earlier. One of the things the cops are keeping sealed is the surveillance tapes as they don't want to taint the jury. I have no idea if those cameras are hi-res or not, nor have they commented on where the cameras are positioned.Ed: BART is full of surveillance cameras--I'd be interested to see what a possibly higher-res and non-sickness-inducing view might show. That said, the officer's perception is what measures the Constitutional standards for the use of force.
for real?But in the meantime, tell me why it's inherently wrong for a police officer to shoot someone in the back.
that is beyond fvcked up...The new video, obtained by television station KTVU, shows two officers restraining a struggling suspect. While the man is lying face down on the ground, one officer appears to be seen pulling out a gun and firing a single shot into his back.
It isn't the police force's job to publicly execute citizens.
ok, for just one of many scenarios which have happened: you got a shooter who's actively picking off people, yet his back is to a cop & isn't obeying commands to cease fire.for real?

c'mon, slick...
after watching the ch. 2 video, where 4 cops are on top of a guy who is lying on his stomach and gets shot in the back, and this is the best you can come up with?That video shows very little that's useful, actually. We don't know what was going on in that tangle. Nothing is "damning" except the commentary of people who claim they know what's going on, but really can't.
now the police said the surveillance videos may not help....Ed: BART is full of surveillance cameras--I'd be interested to see what a possibly higher-res and non-sickness-inducing view might show.

OAKLAND, CA (KGO) -- Bay Area Rapid Transit Police are scrambling to explain what happened on Wednesday night, after a young man died from a bullet fired by a BART Police officer. It happened after a fight broke out on an East Bay BART train. People were going home after the New Year's fireworks display in San Francisco.
BART says it now has surveillance video from New Year's morning when a young man was shot to death by a bullet fired from a BART officer's gun.
The video is now in police hands as evidence and will likely be used in the investigation to determine why the officer's gun went off, fatally wounding 22-year-old Oscar Grant of Hayward. However, a BART spokesman told ABC7 News the video may not help explain what happened.
red herringok, for just one of many scenarios which have happened: you got a shooter who's actively picking off people, yet his back is to a cop & isn't obeying commands to cease fire.
c'mon, slick...
I would guess cause he pulled the trigger, but then again, I am just a simple country boy.The video is now in police hands as evidence and will likely be used in the investigation to determine why the officer's gun went off, fatally wounding 22-year-old Oscar Grant of Hayward.
not necessarily; maybe dude was planning to pass cop's guard.red herring
the man was prone and completely defenseless, and yet that sick fvck decided to put a round in his back?
Well, he should be a special circumstance arresting officer.One comment made at lunch yesterday was that the cop had mistaken his taser for his gun in all the commotion.
While the video shows the dead man was on his belly not fighting the officer, I said if an officer cannot the difference between a gun and a taser, he should not be a police officer. No exceptions.
bull****.One comment made at lunch yesterday was that the cop had mistaken his taser for his gun in all the commotion.
I heard that the cop had never been trained to use a taser or been issued one. But I don't have a credible source to back that up.One comment made at lunch yesterday was that the cop had mistaken his taser for his gun in all the commotion.
