Forget the whole mess about Cops, what ever happened to a fair fight between two men? I mean four cops can't handle one guy? They shoot him in the fucking back!? I have no words. There is no excuse for the same old bullshit antics that Police Officers the world over pull all the time, probably every day in every city, it keeps getting worse. When did they become above the law? There is so many things wrong with the judicial system in America I can't even begin to explain my dissatisfaction. Its appalling.

i laugh when i hear people say 'just don't say or do anything when the cops are around or else you deserve it' because obviously you've never dealt with them in any situations...i've been in arm bars and had my wrist sprained and handcuffed until my wrists and hands were red, i've had cops release me from jail then throw me on the ground again and tell me I'm "still drunk" then throw me in piss ridden cell for 4 more hours...drunk tank that time. They fuck with people intentionally and no matter what its your problem, thats the deal. In every case I was literally doing NOTHING besides being drunk or standing around.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- A march protesting the slaying of young Oakland father at the Fruitvale BART station early New Year's Day became violent Wednesday evening as a group of marchers attacked a police and lit a dumpster on fire.
An estimated 500 people gathered at the Fruitvale Bay Area Rapid Transit station Wednesday afternoon to protest the shooting death of Oscar Grant III at the hands of a transit agency police officer at the station early Jan. 1.
For safety reasons, BART trains are bypassing the Fruitvale station while the protest continues. Organizers said the rally was planned to last until 8 p.m., but by 5:30 the protestor spontaneously started marching through the streets of Oakland.
While the majority of the marchers were well behaved, just after 6:30 p.m. a splinter group of protestors started causing trouble at the intersection of 8th Street and Broadway.
A fire was lit in a Dumpster on wheels that was rolled into the middle of the street and an unoccupied police car was nearly tipped over as the angry protestors beat on the vehicle with sticks and rocked it back and forth.
Oakland riot police responded, shooting tear gas and approaching the crowd with shields, helmets and batons to force them to disperse.

I have been harassed for standing around or skating or whatever I was doing to get that cop's goat that one time, but what can you do? I get consolation from that fact that that asshole will retire in shitty town with an ulcer and a drinking problem with the only glory in his life was the one night he got to shove around a punk kid. fuck them and their power trips while I go on doing something with my life knowing I didn't make stupid decisions like fighting losing battles.

If this cop is found either innocent and or no murder charges are filed against the officer, I guarantee you that the Rodyney King beating and L.A. riots will be nothing in comparison.

cops have killed a ton of people with tazers as well. point is dude shouldn't have pulled the gun. he was trying to intimidate and seriously fucked up.

fucking pig should be arrested and charged with murder. I don't know what the guy did or said, but there was no threat, the guy was under custody and n the floor.

pretty obvious that the guilty cop is going to end up with a bullet in his back sometime in 2009

My thoughts:
1) Resignation or not, the officer should be forcing manslaughter charges nd they should be brought immediately.
2) I have no love of police forces, but I do respect the difficulty of job they do.
3) I do not believe the officer discharged his weapon on purpose. I think it was a tragic mistake on is part due to poor training and the now ubiquitous use of tasers by police. I think he believed he was using his taser and not his firearm. That said, I see nothing in the video to indicate th use of a Taser was necessary. His actions and judgement led directly to and are the sole cause of the individuals death. Since I don't think their was intent involved, I don't see murder as a viable charge. I do see the highest level of manslaughter charges being invoked.
4) Take tasers out of the police arsenal. They are terrible, terrible instruments.

This is the first I have heard or seen anything about this, since its been a busy week and I've laid off all news. But in clicking through the channels, is this getting ANY east coast coverage??
- Not much in the news I have watched here in NYC. But then again our cops do a good job of killing our citizens as well.TheBlueOne
