A friend of the victims court testimony about the officer's spoken words of intent have zero to do with your opinion that cops are evil and your assumption that the officers at the scene were “willy-nilly” running around shooting and killing in plain view of hundreds of commuters.
Intent is a legal term, it is important so that those who accidentally kill someone vs premeditate and intend to kill someone have different punishments.
A simple concept really...for those with the powers of discernment.

No, I am stating categorically that one officer, Mehserle, acted with blatant disregard for human life resulting in second degree murder.

There is another level of murder between premeditated and accidental that you are (deliberately) ignoring.

As is mine.
