Gunned Down Cold In A Raw Deal

So they are going to update the manual and re-train officers with tasers. Cultural diversity and profiling training Looks like a crock of bureaucratic bull to me.

I think a public apology and holding all three officers accountable would be a better route but of course that will never happen . . .

Yeah poor kid is dead, I doubt he will get off. I'm sure there would be riots if he did.

but his training wasn't "adequate", so it wasn't his fault.
they left it so they can spin it back and forth and then no one is to hold blame.

I thought the whole BART board of directors stepped down after the "incident", maybe that's their way of taking responsibility?

starting to appear as if these cops FUCKED UP, ... http://www.sfbayview.com/2010/bart-fires-second-officer-involved-with-shooting-of-grant/

The BART police officer accused of punching Oscar Grant in the face and calling him a racial epithet moments before his death on New Year’s Day 2009 was fired Thursday. Officer Tony Pirone, who called Grant a “bitch ass nigger,” was also seen in a video attacking Grant. Pirone was the officer kneeling on Grant’s back when then-BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot Grant in the back. Grant later died.
Mehserle was charged with murder and had his trial moved to Los Angeles. The trial is scheduled to begin in June.

You know that for a fact eh? By definition, an execution is the killing of a condemned man... so unless this was a sentencing hearing at the BART station and the sentence carried out in front of the public, it was no execution. I'm sticking with accidental discharge, happens all the time... just don't be in front of the gun when it does.

hmmm, ....

"Pirone is the second BART police officer to be fired in connection with the shooting of Grant. Last month, Pirone’s partner, Marysol Domenici, was also fired. They were the first to arrive on the scene at the Fruitvale BART station on New Year’s Day 2009 when Grant was killed. Pirone is responsible for “setting up and escalating the situation that Johannes Mehserle walked into just minutes before he shot Oscar Grant in the back” in the words of Dave Id of Indybay.org. Id added that he is also the “officer who pulled one of Oscar Grant’s friends to the ground by his hair – a ‘hair pull takedown,’ as Pirone bragged in court.”

I recommend any and all of you to go to any major city and sit inside a court room for just an hour. I swear you will come out of there in disgust with the legal system in our country(u.s.a.)

That it one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard. A gun didnt ruin that man and his daughters life, another man with poor judgment did.

I have heard Portland tends to be infested with a lot of homeless teenage Heroine addicts. There is no "justice" system in America. I'd say it's more of a "Whatever" system.
