New video from BART shooting

The video that I've seen on the news was not really that clear. This video was uploaded on Friday: Police shooting

I really could not tell from the original, but this new one is sad. It clearly shows that the cop just shot the guy without any proper reason.
 
I still can't help thinking it was an accident. Look at the officer after the weapon discharged, he looks completely bewildered.

But he's criminally incompetent IMO. I'm hoping for manslaughter, but he'll probably get a slap on the wrist. Such is our justice system.
 
That video is EXACTLY why the NYPD wants their officers to carry cell jammers...but they claim they want it to control "terrorists."
Thank goodness for modern technology that exposes pieces of crap like that particular officer.

Lol, somebody already pointed out the flaw in your reasoning in another thread.

Jammers knock out the network, not the device. It would prevent somebody from calling or accessing the net, but it wouldn't stop them from recording video.

You fail.

Uh... cell jammers don't prevent the device from recording. Just from transmitting at that time and place. One could still record and then transmit later.

In that short time the officers can confiscate the device. If I shot someone in the back, I'd try my damned best to grab any recording devices around me...all in the nature of "evidence."

Cell jammers are used to buy time so the officer can confiscate cell phones?

i heard on the news that maybe....jsut maybe...he thought that he had his taser in his hand instead of his gun.

Yeah, that's apologist BS. He unholstered the weapon and had it within his line of sight some seconds before firing it. On top of that, the suspect was not resisting (and was possibly already handcuffed), so he would not have even had any reasonable cause to use his taser (even if he were carrying one, which is in dispute).

Alternative link

The slow motion sequence is extremely damning.
 
Why did he even have his weapon drawn? They were hardly in mortal danger. It may have been an accidental discharge of the gun, but that never would have happened if he didn't have it drawn. So manslaugter at least.

owned.
 
I captured it and saved to AVI in case they all get pulled off. I have 2000GB of bandwidth on a dedicated server, I'll be sure the world sees it if it gets pulled off. 😉

Makes me lol that they say he was tring to pull out his taser. If a cop cannot tell a difference between activating a taser, and fireing a gun, he should not be a police. I've never done either but I"m sure they're not handled the same way or even feel the same way when in the hand. The sitiation did not even justify the use of a taser let a lone a gun.

They were just beating them around, they were not even trying to fight.

Do you have trouble recognizing the difference between a willfull act and an accident?

Not at all. That video and all the others show it was an accident.

I agree. It does look like an accident. Would be hard to make any judgements from the video. Would love to read this officers and the other officers reports.

He willfully pulled out some object (ended up being a weapon). I do not think he willfully discharged it.

I really want some more evidence before a decision is made either way.

Accident or not, do you really think anyone other than a cop could get away with this? If the exact scenario had happened with three lawful ccw permit holders holding down a man (presumably for a good reason), they would be in so much trouble.
