Do you even know how hard it is for Police, whether they're legit or not? Well either way I don't like these particular ones that this article is about.

Well, considering that in order to draw a gun, you have to unstrap like 5 different things, pull it out, turn off the safety, etc. I doubt there is ANY WAY this could be an accident, unless a) tazers also have the straps, or b) guns aren't strapped in tight like that in that area (I know where I am it takes a good 2-3 seconds to for a police officer to draw a weapon).

So yea, it's been said, but this wasn't an accident. Just some cops shooting a guy. fuck that.

This Actually happened around where I Live, I think I heard that these were BART police, either way it sickens me. From the officers around here that I've seen, their guns look ready to be pulled out at a moments notice.

That's terrible...why are tasers and guns shaped so similarly?

just to shake things up.

Shit, do we really want people who can mistake bullets for electricity running around with authority. I mean if I was training to be a cop and the only thing in my training that I just couldn't get was TASER/PISTOL, would they still let me be a cop?
We're not paying them to DEFUSE BOMBS or anything, if you're gonna carry a gun and a taser around EVERY DAY I think you should know which is which.

Clearly the cops must've been panicking because they were afraid they were losing control, but shit they had better not get away with it.


edit: also when I went to watch the video the first thing i had to watch was an ad for joey from friends vs kramer

I hope Burris kicks their ass in court. I have a lot of respect for police officers -- in fact, my friend's dad is one and he's a hard worker. Works horrible hours in the morning, and sometimes only gets 3-4 hours of sleep before he gets to work again. Not all of them are complete dumbasses like these, and it's pretty stupid to see them abuse their power like this.

We have weird fucking courts in CA though. I hope his family does alright.

This story really pissed me the F*ck off. Honestly, I can not stand cops at all. I respect their job and what they do, however, I by no means like dealing with them. I have no need for them personally and honestly, if I felt threatened, I would mostly likely NOT call the cops. They serve no purpose in my life but I do understand that they are needed for obvious reasons.

With that said, how many blues did you guys count? They cooperated with minor resistance at most. As a cop, why the f*ck would you point a taser to the face? Forget the gun, what would happen if you shot him square in the face? The person even pleaded with them about how he had kids and that he did not want to get shot (who would). I completely sympathize with the victim man. I know the area got crowded but there were THREE people pinning him down completely. There was no need for a taser at all, and if he honestly made a mistake, admit it and face all charges and allegations buddy. I honestly think it was not a mistake. Why? Because of the whole tazer to face incident, they were friggin toying with him.

One question I asked myself is whether they saw the girl taking the video clip. If so, then yes it may have been an accident unless he knew the camera was not on him (no one is that stupid). If he did not see the camera then... WTF I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VIDEO TO REFERENCE AND LOOK AT THIS....

Wtf... Honestly what really makes me sad is if the situation was flipped the black face dude would get the book thrown at him.
