He should pay for his accidental discharge just as anyone who was not a cop would have to. Unfortunately he'll probably never see the inside of a prison.

Why would he shot a guy in front of all those people with cameras recording them? I think he probably thought he had taser.

How does an officer mistakes a gun for a taser? Aren't they holstered in opposite sides? If their not, they should.
- = they're.Corvo2
- hell I just mistook a their for a they're.Corvo2
- Here, Florida, the police do holster on completely different sides. Not to mention, if you have ever held a taser you would know there is a huge difference in feel and weight.andrewwwahlin

Cops are dicks. I had one draw a gun on me for walking on a public trail "after dusk". He asked to see my ID and pulled his gun as I reached for it in my pocket. Completely fucking uncalled for.
- He even screamed at me to take it out of my wallet as it was in the see-through pocket. Took me about ten minutes to get the fucker out.5timuli
- fucker out. Police in the UK are just as bad, except they can't shoot you on the subway for no reason. Oh wait... Robert Menendez.5timuli
- Menendez... I forgot about him.5timuli
- wait, your pants were see through?!Point5
- i'm resisting the urge to share my pig storiesKwesiJ
- Fuck stimmers I'd have done the same if I was that cop.chossy
- I had no pants on at all. Is that why he was angry?5timuli
- it is called for since he didn't know you or what you were up to.mcLeod
- I had shaved just before I came out though, surely that calmed him a little?5timuli
- It was about 15 feet from a main street - I had about another 1 feet to go before I got off the trail. He was sitting there waiting for people, which is entrapment. Plus he was a dick.5timuli
- people, which is entrapment isn't it? Plus he was just a dick.5timuli
- You should have struggled and fought with him. Know your rights man.chossy
- I should've wiggled my wang at him in a provocative manner.5timuli
- he would have had to empty his clip in it to even make a dent he he.chossy

tazers should not even resemble guns...they should be a completely different shape.
- Good attempt at bringing in a design element to the dialogue, dbloc.

I have been placed in the back of a cop car more than once, and I either deserved it or I didn't. but one thing I never thought of doing was resisting or fighting with a cop. Police have a certain authority over regular citizens and you are not going to change the fact that some may abuse it from time to time.

Damn this is bad. It could very well have been an accident; he'll probably get tried for involuntary manslaughter and be found not guilty. This has the potential to create another riot...

He did look suprised after he pulled the trigger.

This cop lost his mind.
Very poor training and/or psychological screening. His brain folded under pressure and he shot that kid.

I guess shit happens, especially when you deal with it all day long. Living with violence and life-threatening situations every day must put your nerves on edge - but even so, that situation doesn't look very dangerous.

the SF cops are known for their brutality

- where is this then?Llyod

- ah fucking oakland. can't blame himLlyod

I'm mentally fit to be a cop. I would step on a toe, and sneak a baton pop to the head of a thug everyday.

The thing I find worrying is that, we as a people couldn't give a fuck. This video a few years ago would have made me sleepless and traumatised and now I feel only sadness for a loss of a life and little more.
I often think that the graphic nature of video and news and the sensationalism drive which happened over the past 15 years in the media with their lust for more gore and more dram, has done a terrible harm to society on the whole.

How many life-threatening situations do police officers find themselves in per da on average. I know it depends on the area you work in but does any cop have guns in their face all day every day?
this looks more like a case of the officer not having any experience at all with this sort of situation so he lacked th proper instincts.

it wasn't an sf cop. first of all it was in oakland, and secondly it was BART police. they have their own police i guess for jurisdiction reasons considering how far the BART travels.

Here is a thought that none of you have even talked about...
Get rid of the goddamn tazer already, use the night stick, pussies. Policework is dangerous, you knew this when you went into the academy, so everytime a cop fucks up this old shit comes out. Get rid of it, how many stories like this need to happen before people realize this thing is more trouble than it is worth?
- simple solution.chossy
- What and fuck with the huge Police-Industrial-Co... There are profits to be made on tasers boy...TheBlueOne
