Trying to give the officer the benefit of the doubt (because he absolutely had the "oh my god what did i just do" look on his face afterward), it could be that he did think it was a taser but that he didn't intend to discharge the weapon. i know nothing about any of this, but do the triggers on tasers require more force than the one on a gun?
At any rate, this is a truly tragic situation for everyone. Anyone who believes this cop INTENDED to shoot and kill this man is not watching the video with unbiased eyes. It kills me that the victim has a 4 yr old kid, but also that (supposedly) the cop has a new baby and may one day have to answer the question "Daddy, did you really kill some little girls Dad?"
- Also, is the safety mechanism on the to weapons similar?TheBlueOne
- I agree, it was an accident, but still the cop should be facing manslaughter chargesTheBlueOne
- Oh yes, certainly, just like any other citizen. He shouldn't be exempt from punishmentlocustsloth
- He should be responsible for his poor judgement in the performance of his duty.TheBlueOne

Do tasers normally look similar to cops' side arms? Never really even seen a taser, except on those shows where they shot the people with them for laughs/testing/demonstration, and they're usually neon.

I agree, a tragedy for everyone involved. On the other hand, if there is no punishment, it sends a message that cops can get away with murder. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
- Just like every other situation in life, all factors need to be considered; actions, intentions, environment, etclocustsloth

- Assuming the BART police use glocks, like the NY police force does.TheBlueOne
- Well that's just retarded. Who would design them so similar?!?locustsloth
- Jeebus, those are similar grips. Taser is just a bit "spacier."harlequino
- Would you not have to turn the safety off before firing either of these?tymeframe
- Yeah..exactly. Are they similar safety mechanisms or not?TheBlueOne
- I notice that marking it "less lethal" is A. Optional and B. only "less" lethalharlequino
- glocks don't have a safety...they have a "safe trigger" action. point is, you shouldnt put your finger on trigger unless you intend to kill.sublocked

to the police I'm saying fuck you punk
reading my rights and shit, it's all junk
pulling out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake ass badge and a gun in your hand- AMEN. Fuck the GODDAMNED cops. They are all losers who have nothing better to do with their lives.styleplus
- that's why they have to wear a uniform. They are little boys inside, and it really actually makes them feel important.styleplus
- BUT. Let's not forget that the real perpetrators are the Government for hiring military personnel to 'police' the civilian populationstyleplus

Id rather gets tased than shot.
Keep the tasers!
- Tasers need to go.TheBlueOne
- youd rather these idiots have guns than tasers?dskz
- They're even more trigger happy with the tasers.harlequino
- I'd rather them not have tasers. Leads to reliance on technological solution to a human relation problem.TheBlueOne

Since everyone seems to hate cops here, I will say I don't. It's probably because I've never had any issues with them, but I've seen too many people act like superior idiots around cops to feel sorry for anyone. I realize lots of police officers don't mind the power they have, but they do have a position of authority and if you don't act up (around here, anyway), chances are you'll be fine.
- I don't hate them. I just don't trust them. Ever. They are not your friends.TheBlueOne
- there is a good chance you will not =)erikjonsson
- I'm quite fine with not acting up, so I doubt I will have many issues.Jaline
- TheBlueOne, I don't trust most people. But there seems to be lots of people who especially dislike cops.Jaline
- People don't like getting caught (and try to justify breaking the law), and cops like using power.Jaline
- I'm not on any side, really, but I find this interesting.Jaline

- hah, drgs, you just want to bomb the entire country.Jaline

I live in an area that has a lot of cop hate. I've never understood it. I've been pulled over whilst driving loads of times, each time I answer the questions they ask, act appropriately and leave within 10 minutes. I've stopped on the street 3 or 4 times, same thing there. If you've got nothing to hide, why act like a dickhead and create a problem?
A mate of mine is a young black guy who drives a mercedes compressor. He lives in a part of town where drugs, guns and violence are rife, and unfortunately, a very high proportion of these crimes are committed by young black males due to the population of the area. He's been pulled over numerous times and every time he does he gives the police shit and tells me - fucking police this and fucking police that, who are they, they have no respect blah blah blah. I try and explain that unfortunately he fits the stereotype criminal that the police have to deal with in the area, so naturally he is going to be stopped. But he doesn't agree, he says they're all racist pigs. I tell him to just answer their questions as he's got nothing to hide, yet he almost 'gets off' on abusing a figure of authority.
I'm white, I con't hate cops, GSOH, Medium build, dark tall and handsome, looking for a lady 26-32, Call me.

"Not guilty the filthy devils tried ta kill me
When the news get to the hood then niggas will be
Hotter than cayenne pepper, cuss, bust
Kickin up dust is a must
I can’t trust a cracker in a blue uniform
Stick a nigga like a unicorn
Vaugn, wicked, lawrence powell, foul
Cut his fuckin throat and I smile
Go to simi valley and surely
Somebody knows the address of the jury
Pay a little visit, "who is it? " (who is ice cube? )
"can I talk to the grand wizard? " then boom
Make him eat the barrel, modern day feral
Now he’s zipped up like leather tuscadero
Pretty soon we’ll catch sergeant coon
Shoot him in the face, run up in him witta broom
Stick prick, devils ain’t shit
Introduce his ass to the ak40 dick
Two dazed niggas layin in the cut
To get some respect we had to tear this muthafucka up"
