All right. Justice will be served.

Out on 3mil bail.

Must have some friends

Like the pharmacist guy the other day on the other thread this appears to be a simple case of a cold blooded murder of an unarmed individual.

Let justice be done.

Be Well

Very hard to get a conviction of a law enforcement officer. I don't care if it is bible belt rural Texas or uber liberal downtown San Francisco, the citizenry are usually very reluctant to convict a cop who argues that he was only trying to do his job under stressful circumstances. The DA better have an air tight case or the jury will acquit.

The fact that this "officer" couldn't tell it was a taser he pulled and not his service weapon is grounds enough for him to be dismissed. A taser feels alot different than a real pistol.

Well, unlike Shrub, the million man killer, he is small, and an easy target. Nor is he integrated into the legal system, as most city, county, state and frederal police officers.

His victim was lying still, face down on a train platform. Tantamount, surely, to ushering in church. He ought to be DISMISSED? How about 20 to life, if not the gurney? herm

Moder8 - the video will give some chance of justice. No video, no conviction - no trial in the first place actually. Thin Blue Line.

I thought this line from the article was shcoking;

"The judge noted that Mehserle's case marked "the first time a peace officer has been charged with murder" in California."

?????

Really? I guess those LA cops really do get away with murder.

Well, like Montecore said, if there isn't a video (which there rarely is), the cop can just say that the victim looked like he was grabbing for a weapon. If he had a partner with him, they will always vouch.

This is only in the news because a minority got shot by a white guy.
When minorities shoot whites, it's not newsworthy.

There's some good that can come from this event. Oscar Grants illegitimate kids and/or relatives will learn an important lesson...Comply with the officers request.

This is embarrassing. The Bogus Paratrooper and I belong to the same race. Human. herm

Yes, or get shot in the back, tazed, maced, maglite buffet, all you can eat combatboot buffet, etc

Time to arm the citizenry.

101,

Are you seriously trying to compare a fatal shooting to the back of a man laying face down with a tazing?

Are you seriously stupid enough to draw that conclusion?
What part of "Not complying only increases your risk of being fucked up." don't you understand? Had he complied he'd be alive today, yes or no?

In Chairdouche's world they are equivalent.

"Not complying only increases your risk of being fucked up. If you're willing to take a chance then you may end up like Oscar, or this bitch..."

It's disturbing that you find that video amusing.

Yeah, who finds anything amusing in some loud mouthed bitch getting what she asked for?

I'm shocked at you herm. The gurney? 20 to life would be appropriate if convicted. How're you gonna say this was premeditated?

Funny that you would disregard special circs. Guy should go down for long time though.

"Yeah, who finds anything amusing in some loud mouthed bitch getting what she asked for?"

So you think mouthing off to a cop legally justifies him to kick your ass? Again, disturbing.

And is it because she's loud mouthed or because you disagree with her politics?

Not true--we had one here in San Diego. The cop stopped a young lady--a phoney stop-- and she wouldn't put out and he strangled her and threw her off the overpass.

How was Vegas? Did you come back with your purse full of winnings $$$$? LOL!

About half--but after paying for everything.

So not to bad.

The wedding was just a blast!

Saw quite a few old friends.

We drove--lol--it took 7 hours to get there Friday. We did stop to eat--but that was way over the limit.

With the kids--it was like 16 stops to take a pee!

OMGosh--I didn't think we were ever going to make it there! lol

The way home was faster--only 5 hours with a stop at Bob's Big Boy--lol

Sorry, I'm not that chaste and pure.

When it comes to a choice of either putting out for some cop or being tossed over the side of an overpass into the path of oncoming cars, the decision is pretty much of a no brainer.

The woman can always go back afterwards and report the cop to the proper authorities but at least she'd be alive. Neither one is a choice you'd ever want to be forced into making, but I think most women would choose being raped over being murdered.

Murphy

Sounds like you had a lot of fun though -- even with the zillion stops you had to make for the kids. lol

Murphy,
One word for your next car trip with kids: catheters.

Excuse me, but how can the guy murdered (sic) face down on the BART platform have complied further? I use "the gurney" figuratively. Still against offing criminals like they off non-criminals. But this cop comes closer to the gurney than to "acting in the line of duty," which his lawyer will convince a jury to rule. herm

I'm really beginning to wonder. This 101 is either a complete loon and just another attention seeker who says shit so people will listen.

I mean, there's a fucking video of the cop executing someone who was cuffed and laying face down, showing no resistance and the cop shoots him in the back.

Then we have shit-heaps like 101 who come along and say stuff like 'Comply with the officers request' as if the guy was resisting. Even so, since when does not complying mean equate to justifiable execution?

Are you seriously stupid enough to draw that conclusion?
What part of "Not complying only increases your risk of being fucked up." don't you understand? Had he complied he'd be alive today, yes or no?

Yes or No? Yes or no to what? Complied with what?

What was he told to do? Neither you nor I know that, but I'm guessing that not resisting and laying face down were probably two of them.

I saw a man cuffed, laying face down on a train platform who wasn't struggling with the officers when he was executed.

Not obeying a police officers orders opens up the very real and very distinct possiblity that something unpleasant is heading your way, especially in a chaotic scene such as in Denver.

After being shoved and told to leave the area, she mouths off in his face to "Fuckin do it again!". Guess what, she got her wish.

It's because she's a loudmouth. Had that been a pro-torture rally and the same thing happened I'd laugh just as hard.

You mess with the bull...

How in the fuck can such a simple question have you so confused?

He made a mistake in a real tough situation(using his gun instead of taser). This brave man was on the front line against a very dangerous element of this society. Are blacks really human?

He should have laid even flatter on the ground? Wtf?

Hang this gun-happy mother fucker high. Fucking transit cop. I guess real cops are expected to know what the fuck they have in their hand before firing it.

Police have no legit reason in the U.S. to be armed any more. Almost every shooting I hear about in LA area is under questionable circumstances, and or the suspect never turned out to be armed. What is going on? Police seem to be doing a good enough offing the general public with their tazers they cannot handle the responsibility of wielding a firearm.

On a unrelated note, have any of you drudgie gunnies ever been to the range and seen cops "trying" to hit paper. Its scary, and sad at the same time.

There's nothing confusing about it.

I'm trying to point out to your retarded self that you're simply making shit up to justify your approval of this murder.

Nothing more.

Hey, hey, watch it. We love our loons on DR.

Incorrect. It's "only news" because there's video of a cop shooting a defenseless man in the back.

There's some good that can come from this event. Oscar Grants illegitimate kids and/or relatives will learn an important lesson...Comply with the officers request.

Please review the video and point out where he was not complying. He was face-down on the ground with cops on his back.

Also, your attitude would have served Anne Frank well, I'm sure you'll agree.

Had he complied he'd be alive today, yes or no?

Either way, he'd be dead of a crack overdose by now, amirite?

Oops,my bad.

You can see it in the cops face

How in the fuck can such a simple question have you so confused?

Speaking of which, I still await your explanation of why raping an incapacitated prisoner amounts to torture.

Try not to jerk off too much while responding.

Yet you needed clarification, stupid.

Some how the judge is aware that Oscar wasn't complying (it's in the article), but you're not.

If Oscar complied, the transit cop wouldn't have murdered him. It's really that simple, like you.

Well at least 101 recognizes it's murder. Baby steps.
