not really, I am not sheeple. And I see things for the face value as well as the perceived value. That is the opposite of Rose colored glasses. I look beyond bias.

YOU MUST HAVE NOT SEEN THE VIDEO AND IF YOU HAVE YOU ARE BLIND... WHAT MORE DOES AN OFFICER NEED??? HE HAD HIS BACK UP THERE, OSCAR WAS ALREADY ON THE GROUND WITH MEHSERLE'S KNEE ON HIS KNECK WHY EVEN TASE HIM FOR THERE WAS NO NEED... AND AIN'T NO WAY A GUN WEIGHS AS MUCH AS A 9MM HE KNEW WTF HE WAS DOING...
Finally someone with common sense

No expert here but a taser is neither the same weight nor feel of a pistol, do know that. I also thought that in firearm training one is taught to unholster, position, safety off, target lock and fire. Seems like alot of steps to quickly go through before sending burniing lead into somebody. And since when are they holstered in the same position? The only tasers i have seen are holstered opposite the firearm, maybe personal preference?? Shit, what kind of training did this guy get? Are the standards that low??
What I don't understand is, I have no idea why the officer apprehended the suspect in the first place. The media has done a fantastic job telling us what happened but not why. Maybe I missed something but I never heard what caused this in the first place.

"What I don't understand is, I have no idea why the officer apprehended the suspect in the first place. The media has done a fantastic job telling us what happened but not why. Maybe I missed something but I never heard what caused this in the first place."
^ He was fighting on the BART train and causing alot of problems..... When the police arived he was acting a fool. The video cameras came out hoping for another Rodney King tape. ( Because we ALL know cops are dirty )
To make matters worse..... after Grant was killed, another
outstading member of Oakland named Lovelle Mixon
decided to kill four Oakland officers. Mixon and others felt grant was murdered in cold blood and that the cops had their "KARMA" comming. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Seeing as their were 2 great Oakland residents killed to 4
cops, I'd say let's just call it truths. Many people have been
affected by the these tragic events. Let's just all try and learn
from this and hope we can stop history from repeating itself.

Let's first take some english courses so we can learn how to express ourselves and not sound retarded. I would sure hope a 9mm, which I believe is a gun, weighs and much as a regular gun lol. They are the same, right or am I wrong. Read you post.
We should just kill all the cops, give everyone in Oakland crack and guns. In two years it will be over and we can rebuild. The shit is done, go take an english course and relax.
Lets just all get hyphy and just do what it do bay style. This shit is stupid

the police department should of sufferd for there low class training of this moron, that < accidentally?> shot the guy laying on his stomach while many officers where kneeing him in the back. i think cops are for the better, but they just hire any young gun with a chip on his shoulder.i def think police should undergo a lot more training before there loose on the streets.

The argument is old. Good guy vs. Bad guy, cop vs. Citizen, white vs. Black, suburbs vs. Oakland. Same shit different day. Fact is, a cop shot a guy in the back, went to court and convicted. Sentenced for 2 years with timed served. How each of us feel about it is our own opinion which comes from experiences in our life. So please, save the oakland vs suburbs, black vs. White, good vs bad, and cop vs. Citizen debate because its not getting anywhere. Explain this to me: how can someone that kills a guy by shooting him in the back get the same amount of time as a guy that shots himself in the foot. Or a guy that releases 650 minks into the street, or a guy that bribes another, or lastly a guy that's carrying drugs? I don't get it, taking another life is the ultimate sin. Either his sentencing was too short, or the others were too long. Bottom line is, they weren't equal.
Question, how much time you think will I get if I killed a spectator on accident racing my car at the street races?

very well said..also, the police were called because he was trying to "pocket check" people on the bart and start trouble..so when he was on the ground, why wasnt Mesherle, or any of the other officers going for the cuffs? He wasnt going anywhere with 2 big guys on him an police surrounding the area ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Kingroy you dont sound like an idiot so Ill answer your question about times. Lets start with drugs. I guarantee if you got caught with drugs, possession or sales for the first time, you wont get shit. We all know that, so lets not argue that point, but if youve been arrested a million times, on probation, with time over your head, or strikes on your records, they will throw the book at you, its called progression. No one I know has got 15 years for simple drug possession their first time. Second, I saw a guy get 2.5 years in prison for drunk driving the wrong way on a city street and killing someone. Now is that fair either, I say no, was he reckless in his actions, yes. He got 2.5 years. I could go on and on. All these situations are different and if you have ever dealt with the court systems you know they are very very lienient toward everyone. I know guys that have done 4 years in prision for a cold blooded murder. I dont see everyone running around breaking windows because of that, and that kinda shit happens everyday. Finally I will finish with this, The family sued for 25 million. If my mom got killed on that platform, I bet you I would get 25 million. His daughter got 1.3 or 1.7 million, you tell me why it was so low. Cause in a court of law, especially a civil court of law, they take "what your worth" on paper and thats what they come up with. What Im trying to say is if he was a great, fatherly figure that did everything right in his life and led that perfect life that all these people say he did, his family would have had 25 million. Since he wasnt it went down to 1.3-1.7. This is coming from a lawyer. Have a great day just figure Id speak some facts, with evidence behind them and not, the white cop was a racist his whole life and always wanted to kill a black man type of shit.

Come on your black right? life isn't fair, you should know this by now ...Just keep your head down and comply with officers of the law..
To be honest.. If you don't comply with a police officer or even talk some smack back to them then please be prepared for anything... I usually just go along with what they are saying and look, I'm still alive

If Grant was killed by some guy who caught him stealing his car you'd all be cheering but since it was a cop that killed him your all mad. It was a fucked up situation but the guy had a serious criminal history and because he was fucking around on the train in the first place combined with him resisting this happened. Its just too bad no one will admit they are only mad because the guy was a cop.
