I think the BART shooting was accidental, however no less tragic. In the US police will always carry guns as long as citizens have guns.

He should never have taken the pistol out of its holster.

Total accident. Happens to me all the time.
"Oops! I accidentally shot this guy restrained face-down on the ground! Oh jeez! Is he ... is he ... oh crud. OK, now look everybody, calm down. It was an accident. I was ... I dunno ... I was gonna threaten the back of his head. Yeah. Or actually I thought that was my taser. See, on odd days, I put my gun in the holster, and on even days I put my taser in there. Obviously I got mixed up. What's the date today? You there, could you tell me what OH GOD I"M SORRY. ACCIDENT!!! Hey, none of you are filming this, are you?"

Why is it so hard to believe that the cop drew the wrong gun-shaped object? Yes it's tragic, and yes the cop should go to jail on a manslaughter/negligent homicide charge, but it was clearly an accident. I'd like to see the administrator who approved the regulation allowing tasers to be carried on the same side as the firearm sharing a cell with the cop. There's a reason Taser, Inc. recommends they be carried weak side/crossdraw.

That is, in fact, easy to believe. However, I'm forced to ask: why did the restrained man on the ground have ANY weapon drawn and fired at him, Taser or handgun?

When a kid got shot in Athens, there were riots in the city for nearly a month.

When a kid got shot in California, we whine about it on the internet.

repli-sword, with untrained pussy slashes, he hit the broomstick with the blade and didn't even break it

plus his timing was WAAAY off..drunk, high or both

If he'd forged the sword himself, as a real warrior like SolRo would have done, and then used proper Blossoms in Springtime style, he would have cut that broom to splinters, parried all the bullets, and then leaped away leaving a trail of severed limbs cop widows in his wake.

I remember another one where a couple cops pin a similar katana guy to the wall with one of those long aluminum extendable ladders

The only thing sweeter than his sword was his hat, no question.

Five stars for you, sir.
