That what BART officials would have likely, and appeared to have tried to initially, sweep under the rug as another justified case of deadly force wasn't justified at all.<BR/><BR/>It's that incredibly rare piece of evidence that shows what some of us know already, but most refuse to believe... that unjustified officer-involved shootings happen more often than we think or hear of.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, though, I think we'll see Mehserle and his partner go free on this one, even if charges are made in that case... Same with the Adolph Grimes case and Robbie Tolan case... and many other cases just like this, but without video evidence.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comment.NPMSRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052178969107494589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546950008014232634.post-73964759396035936712009-01-11T14:58:00.000-08:002009-01-11T14:58:00.000-08:00I certainly believe that many of our police are ou...I certainly believe that many of our police are out of control. Because none of them are ever convicted of murder it allows them to act without any fear of criminal prosecution. It seems that all they have to say is they were afraid for their life, or I thought he had a gun, ect... and then it's ok. I believe that if I thought someone had a gun and I killed them the police would arrest me and I would be charged with murder. If the cops were killing rich white kids like this you can bet your life savings that this would be put to a halt in no time. There is still too much racial prejudice in this county and it allows this type of action to go unchecked. I am white and most of my friends and family has the attitude that they probably deserved it, since we know most blacks are drug dealers and criminals. It's the old saying, kill em all and let god sort it out. It makes me sad to be an american when these types of crimes go unpunished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
