partysmasher Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Just heard about this, no coverage at all has made it over here but this is fucking terrible. Some young guy getting shot and killed for no reason at all by a cop. http://www.mercurynews.com/crime/ci_11369592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partysmasher Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah he might have been a thug or whatever but being difficult with the police doesn't warrant being executed. There is such a what-the-fuck moment from the other officers when it happens that you know the guy did nothing to deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocore Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yikes. What a jackass. No matter how "difficult" he was being, it's nothing that couldn't have been handled by 5 cops and no gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partysmasher Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 The guy will probably get away with it. i read a few more articles and apparently as he resigned from his position shortly after this happened he doesn't legally have to answer any questions in whatever internal investigation would have taken place. Though obviously he can still get fucked for this, i hope he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 that is so fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtmanner Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That is super fucked up. It makes me feel ill. I also can't stand all of the comments they have from lawmen on this. They keep going on and on about how the circumstances aren't clearly shown in the video, but all that matters is that the dude was cuffed and on his stomach. What threat does that pose? Wow, how is this not being covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocore Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 "There have been unconfirmed reports that Mehserle may have mistook his gun for a Taser..." Worst. defense. ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroyingthescene Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 woah, that's harsh. He may have been being a douche, but he was on his back and cuffed. At the very least that looks like manslaughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
