Murder by Cop
I just watched footage of a cop murdering a guy at a BART station the other day. It doesn’t appear to be on KTVU’s website yet. They have a bunch of other raw video on their website from the disturbance that led to the murder, though.
Friday morning, my wife and I watched a report about this “officer involved shooting”. Reports that the cops had confiscated pretty much every cell phone and camera they could get their hands on made us skeptical of claims that this was a justified shooting. If a cop has acted lawfully, they have nothing to fear from being seen on camera…as thousands of camera equipped patrol cars have demonstrated. As soon as I can find a link for this video on their website I’ll post it. This is clean cut murder, though.
The victim was subdued by a cop. He was on the ground, laying face down. He was struggling, but had two cops on him. One of the cops was on his back. That cop got up, un-holstered his weapon, pointed it at the victim and shot him. He shot an unarmed, subdued guy in the back while that guy was laying face down. This is exactly what witnesses told KTVU on Friday morning. It is exactly what BART and its cops denied having happened. That cop should sit in jail for the rest of his life. Every single cop who lied for him should lose their badge and do time.
