BART cop kills unarmed man - video of the actual murder

[Tre]

This asshole coldly shot that man to death and later (allegedly) claimed he was reaching for his tazer, but accidentally drew his gun instead.   What a crock of shit. 

NOTE: This is a real video.  If you view it, you will see a man shot to death.  If you do not wish to see such a horrific, tragic, and cowardly act, do not watch the clip.

why do people watch stuff like that?

Any other info?

I didn't hear about the story until yesterday while working over in the Bay Area and listening to local radio.  One of the things that apparently happened is that the cops attempted to confiscate all cameras and cell phones from the people on the platform under the guise of 'collecting evidence'.  Thankfully, they were not 100% successful. 

For those who are wondering, yes, the victim did have a criminal record.  He apparently served several months in state prison between 2007 and 2008, but I do not have details on his crimes. 

At the time of his murder, he was working at a local market and attempting to build a life for his family.  Anyone who has a young child - his daughter is 4 years old - can surely empathize with that situation.

Man this kind of stuff is terrible.

I hope these officers get what they deserve.

The people who witnessed it had no clue that they were going to see a man murdered right before their eyes.  But once they did, those who were recording the incident knew they had a civic responsibility to ensure that these horrific images were made available to the world. 

We watch because we don't want to believe something like this can actually happen in the greatest nation on earth.  When a young, unarmed citizen can be shot in the back by the very people sworn to PROTECT us, there's a serious problem here that must be addressed. 

[Eyeball Chambers]

Could the people who recorded this also sue for having witnessed something so disturbing?

[TrapsMcLats]

typical nog behavior.  how did he get himself into this situation?  he was fighting on bart.  someone probably disrespected someone.  the act it horrible, but prevention is the best medicine.

Yeah, but in this case, claims of 'severe emotional distress' would be understandable. 

Even so, tragedies of all types are a part of life.

Regardless of what led up to him being separated from the larger crowd, once he was subdued, why was it necessary to shoot him?  I'm trying to figure out how one justifies that. 

[calfzilla]

Was that a white guy they shot?  It's rare that anyone ever gives a fuck if the police shoot a white man.
