Grants autopsy listed alcohol, coke and fentanyl in his system.
Fair enough. And that justifies his murder how?
He had his hand down the front of his pants and refused to be cuffed. THAT was the reason for use of a taser.
None of that is in evidence in any of the videos of the incident.
Have you read his rap sheet? In and out of jail. Even bleeding heart wikipedia isn't lying for him. It's all there in black and white.
And Mehserle was fully briefed on this rap sheet and was, therefore, fully within the law in administering street justice to the perp, eh?
This 22 year old was a thug, fighting and terrorizing other train passengers. He was ID'ed by people on the train. A couple other people had been caught earlier and they had weapons.
Which all may well be true, but it does not, under any circumstances, give the police a right to execute him.

The police did not perform an “execution.” More libel.

Fair enough. And that justifies his murder how? People hopped up on drugs are so reasonable, aren't they. They don't resist arrest. He'd already been in jail for drugs and again for a weapons charge. Not a bright young man.
This guy was not executed. He was struggling and had a rap sheet. He was also hopped up on drugs which tends to make one uncooperative. He was with a gang terrorizing people on a train. He didn't want to go to jail again. The young men on either side of him complied with police orders. They are alive. Grant would be too but for the drugs in his system, fighting arrest and an accidental shooting.
I've read your posting history. You obviously have baggage and hate cops. You can't see the truth because of the baggage.
Have a good day.
