One source familiar with the investigation said BART is looking into a number of issues, including whether the officer had meant to fire his Taser stun gun rather than his gun.

Looked like the “officer” had both hands oe one gun, not one of each type in one hand each.

Only $25 mil? I wonder how they arrived at that figure.

One less thug on the streets, though at a steep price if the ambulance chaser has his way.

The single most damning piece evidence against the police officer appears to be on this video clip - http://mfile.akamai.com/12948/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2009/0105/18415632.200k.asx

Though it still isn't clear whether he had actually thought he was firing his taser.

The bullet went through the guy's lower back, ricocheted off the pavement, and then passed through his upper chest.

Bread and circuses. The mob demands blood. The mob spews out cliches of outrage fed to its brainless heads by the MSM. The mob seeks out those among themselves it suspects of sympathizing with the police. The show is just starting. The mob demands blood. Bread and circuses.
