Public Transportation, Public Execution?

Gordon sent me this. Turns out there was a fatal shooting of a civilian by a BART officer in Oakland on New Years Eve. The problem was the victim was at the time of the shooting, laying prone on the ground with his hands behind his back with the cop standing over him. To compound issue the entire incident was video taped from numerous angles by bystanders standing on the platform as the confrontation unfolded. That video has since propagated through cyberspace and taken on a life of it's own. The officer in question has since resigned rather than to talk to the press about the incident. And now we have riots. Great way to start off the new year bay area.
