It will be interesting to see the effect of the verdict on the natives.
Is this the cop who shot the handcuffed man? And then the other cops tried to confiscate all cell phone videos?
If not, what’s the story here and why are they bracing for riots?
Adding a ‘using a gun enhancement’ against a police officer who is supposed to carry a gun is beyond ludicrous.
For those of you who believe that ‘mass transit’ is the answer to transportation in any large city- keep in mind that the blacks in this story were causing a ruckus & fighting with passengers on the BART train in the first place.
It was New Year’s Eve & they have passengers trapped in a moving rail car & they regularly terrorize passengers.
The entire area of Oalland, Vallejo & Richmond is a cesspool.
The judge is clearly an idiot. Mehserle is obviously guilty of 1st degree murder. He put away his taser, drew his firearm, aimed and fired.
Case closed.
The local medias are inciting riots for the last few days imho.
This is all political, i.e., intended to keep people from rioting. The officer has been overcharged, as there is no evidence he intended to kill anybody. Once again, governments are pandering to the lynchmob mentality.
The jury probably doesn't know any of this.
