I totally agree. If I have the facts straight, this young man was already handcuffed when he was shot in the back while he was laying on his stomach. with three officers surrounding him. This action was supposed to be an accident? I wonder what the defense argument was, I don't understand the improper weapons training crap. His weapon should not have been out to begin with.

The dogs were innocent, Oscar Grant was not! He was a multiple felon, just out of prison, had just been involved in a fight on the train (the reason for the police), was in possession of drugs and resisted arrest. He alone caused his daughter to be fatherless with his constant poor decisions and unlawful activity. Why was he not at home spending New Years with his GF (should be wife)and daughter acting like a Father, instead of out in a high crime area acting like a thug?
It is a tragedy that he died that night, but HIS actions caused his death. How many of those reading this were out getting in fights on New Years day, while their children were at home? All those that weren't, were alive on Jan 1st., because they used judgment and were responsible. He is dead becasue he did not.

blackbear72, what part of the incident that you do not understand. The human being was laying on his stomach when the officer shot him in the back as he layed on his stomach, handcuffed. It does not matter that he was all the BS things that you wrote in your comments. The thing that most people who read this, is that it does not happen to white people. Black Americans are still being murdered legally by police officers.
All Black organizations, including churches need to rally by getting Black registered and voting to get this judge removed from the court, and others like him. If not, this slaughtering of Black AMERICANS by white police officers will continue, while Black Americans are dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, for what. blackbear72, do the world a favor and practice birth control, so that you will not make the same mistake your mother made.

blackbear72, He actually was not the one fighting, and was not resisting arrest. He should not have even been cuffed in the 1st place. Plenty of parents celebrate new yrs eve with their friends. It is not his fault, it is Johannes fault, and trust me, if everyone on Bart had not taken out their phones and started video taping, this would have been covered up, and not made it this far. Our system is UNJUST, and its a shame that a dog's life is more important than a human being

Well, if what blackbear is saying is true, then I'm glad that he's dead.

I wish that more people like that were dead.

To Stevelc, check the news down in central Fla, a white hillbilly was shot and killed by a white officer for resisting arrest. To late for the birth control, I have a child and have spent not only every New Years eve with my child, but every holiday that I haven't had to work with her, since the day she was born. I have two jobs, never arrested, no drugs or alcohol, I am married to her mother and will never make the same mistakes Oscar did. Not one man hour of police work has or ever will be caused by me, while he wasted 100's of police man hours for his mistakes.

Then feel free to move to Africa, and that goes for all the rest of you that feel this way. If you want to be treated like civilized human beings, then act like one.
