2 Men Shot In The Back By Police - 1 handcuffed

Sure, something shiny in hand is all the excuse they need.

Welcome to New Orleans.

I guess the officers felt like they needed a paid vacation.

I saw this and was just amazed. There was nothing in the guys hand. It looked as if the officer thought he was drawing a tazer, because he just drew and fired. If he did not think he was drawing a tazer, I cant imagine what was going on in his head.

hmm, thought they said before it "accidently discharged"

Something accidentally discharged in the mind of the policeman more like. I was astounded, flabbergasted, stunned. He just pulled it out of his holster and in one movement pointed and pulled the trigger. What I was trying to figure out was why was it cocked and ready to discharge in his holster. There was no cocking motion, no drawing back of the slide, nothing, just one smooth motion, then he seemed shocked as if he could not believe what he had done.

There was not even any reason I could see that a firearm needed to be drawn, and prior to the three officers pushing him down on the ground and cuffing him, he seemed to be cooperating.

There are TWO different articles listed aboved.

Getting the two mixed up entirely!

Sorry, I am talking about BART

Hmmm...a riot in the works when the cop in the shooting is found not guilty?....

He was a good boy, and a family man, and he graduated from High School...lol.

Where have we heard this before.

For the people just following orders.

This may happen.
