Casper Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I don't know if you guys/gals have been reading about this, but holy shit. Long story short, there was a fight on the BART subway. Police respond, and detain several people. All are cooperating with the police. Officer randomly shoots one of the guys in the back after tazering him in the face. What the fuck?http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Video_shows_police_shooting_man_laying_0105.htmlhttp://www.ktvu.com/video/18409133/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/08/BART.shooting/index.htmlhttp://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-177028http://www.ktvu.com/news/18434205/detail.html#-http://www.insidebayarea.com/dailyreview/localnews/ci_11369405?source=rsshttp://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/07/BART.shooting/index.htmlhttp://www.ktvu.com/news/18431607/detail.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/06/BART.shooting/index.htmlAbsolutely unbelievable.

flounder Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It appears to be an accidental shooting but yes he is responsible and the title of this thread is definitely mis-leading and judgmental from someone who only knows what the papers are saying.

flounder Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) News crews are pieces of shit in most cases. How often do you see anything good on the news? rarely. Cops already have a thankless job and the news crews egg it on by the way they phrase things (everything has to be shock and awe for them) They guy apparently made a mistake and will pay for it but the new crews should be held accountable for the results of what they publish. Im sure some dumb fuk will try going after this cop or riots will happen because of they way the news perceives everything.By using apparently, they are giving themselves the ability to use the word helpless with no responsibility on their part. Using apparently means they dont know shit about what happened but yet they still print it and people will not read the apparently word and will skip straight to helpless. They could just as easily say. Police officer shoots Bart man in back at train station. Edited January 8, 2009 by flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably getting charged with murder. Regardless of the media, this is a really fucked up situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably getting charged with murder. Regardless of the media, this is a really fucked up situation.You dont know anything about what his reasoning was but way to follow the masses with unfounded opinions.. And using the word kid makes it sound worse. He was 22 and not exactly a kid in my book.. Did you call yourself a kid when you were 22, I think not. And we have thousands of 22yr olds and younger fighting for us in the military so the word kid doesnt apply in my book. As it was said and as it was investigated, they believe the cop thought he was grabbing his tazer.. If you watch the vid, he puts his hands to his head after the shooting like "Oh my god, what just happened."Bad situation, Yes. Was it intentional, I seriously doubt it.

Casper Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 For the record, I'm never going shooting with Flounder. He might "accidentally" shoot me and think it's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) I didnt say it was ok but you obviously missed what I wrote.And as far as shooting goes.... After you argued for 10 min at the Halloween party that the box of 7.62 rounds you had was for an AR15, I dont think I want you anywhere near me on a range anyway. You try putting anything in a barrel. Edited January 8, 2009 by flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC1000rr Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 First thoughts from the video. Cops screwed. My second thought was, where was his taser if he had one? Not in the mindset that he should have used it, (which probably would have been ok), but did he mean to grab for a taser...instead of the gun(which he grabbed). If this is the case, it sucks....but what happened...happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
