NEWS COVERAGE of BART COP PUTTING MAN's HEAD THROUGH WINDOW

[TheNathanalex]

Bart police more like FART police what a fucking bunch of shithead cops in FART Town!!

[onis]

the criminal was white. why the fuck do you people care?

[jpatrickbad]

Hey sheeple noptice how they keep saying a white male, a white male, a white male. See it is OK to fucking do this to white peole but black no way. See most of you fucking sheeple fucks don't get it, yes the guy is a dick. Yes, yes should be arrested. But in context the guy didn't have a fucking. And see they kept saying racial slurs, because that way he seems more bad. because white people should be beaten if they make racial slurs, blacks well they can do as they wish. All you fucking sheeple

[Spinel79]

that was not a 1/4 inch glass it sounded very thin 

[123458zz]

lol good, yeah it isn't kidnap it isn't hostage but theyre people and don't let you out when you want to leave. hell, if they hospitolize you it isn't even 'great bodily harm' as they already define and know about. we should name it 'evidence' this way we can have it in our possession, the most than anybody probably. haha. yeah some part of their gang don't deal but some do so what. 'there would be chaos without doesn't make sense if it's humans(cops) kidnapping, holding hostage etc..

[OGICHI21]

in my opinion the dude deserved it learn not to be a drunken fool in public and not act like a guy who thinks he does good for theworld

[tdljazz]

I think he got what he deserved.

[StarIessNight]

That was not excessive force.. the police officer did push the drunk person towards the 'wall' to cuff him... was he supposed to pamper him to it?!

[ouivalerie]

Well, I would want to please suggest a rider's license to ride the Bart. Drunks should not have the privileges to ride. Make the walk, or take a cab. Either way...keep those drunken sots away from main population where they want to plant their stinky pushy selves. Nice people want to ride and are civilized enough to not scream or be a threat and don't have police chasing them on board. That brown baggin nasty guy seems to be having drama at everyone's expense. The window thing was an accident.

[johnjacob771]

the one thing i keep seeing is bart cops taking advantage of people that don't fight back. bully mentality

[gimmeurchipz]

To bad that glass didnt come down and chop his head off....that would be cool...

[JasonZ79]

Due process is important, and he did indeed deserve a fair trial. But when boiled down to brass tacks, he physically threatened a train full of people who weren't bothering him.

Let me ask : if it were another passenger, fed up with his childish bullshit, who threw him into a window how many of you would be offended? The fact that it's a cop, on BART, ten months after Oscar Grant, that's got everyone up in arms.

This isn't the Grant case, though, it's a 37 year old man who needed a lesson.

[Jacobzladder]

his threats could have amounted to probable cause and justified an arrest, had he attacked people, the public would have had the right to defend themselves, i certainly would have, but when a cop comes to intervene and enforce public safety that should not be at the expense of the man acting out, he should have put some handcuffs on and questioned witnesses to see whether the man had violated the law. it's not a cops job to teach lessons, they are not teachers. they are cops

[boscoruby]

I hope the cops lose the stuggle for Oakland and totally withdraw so that Oakland can finally become what it truly wants to be - a lawless jungle.

[JasonZ79]

Where in my post did I say anything of that nature? Where exactly did I state that I'd like to be judge, jury, and executioner in one? I'm not trying to be a fucking vigilante. I'm stating that he had it coming.

You don't act like a complete ass and threaten people who are minding their own business and then bitch about how you were treated. Until you find yourself trying to read the paper only to have a violent, 37 year old man harass you and threaten you with violence, shut the fuck up

[Jacobzladder]

by justifying excessive force you imply that due process is not important, think jason. . .think. . .

[roudy1689]

that drunk punched the window, stupid drunk caused this

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

so what JasonZ79 is saying is we do not need judges and jury's anymore , hear that folks , if you see bad people he wants you to take justice into your own hands , a cop with 6 months training supersedes a judge with 10 years of law and college , what a novel idea .

[JasonZ79]

Have any of you out there who are bitching about police brutality ever rode the BART? Or, the Pittsburgh or SFO lines inparticular? Didn't think so.

After 10 or 11, both trains are generally full of dirtbags who are drunk and acting like assholes. When it's a 37 year old suburban white dude with an identity crisis, behavior like that is at it's most pathetic. When you challenge 50-60 people trying to get home after work to a fight you deserve what's coming. It's too bad he got off this easy

[oGNaC]

i dont care what anyone says, thats excessive force. could have took him down without putting him through that window.

[truefictions]

Sad way to treat the mentally ill.

[cb3tech]

POLICE STATE - Resisting? Battery? The guy was acting like an idiot, but did it require to have his head put through "heavy duty glass"? Why even ask the guy to get off the train, already was charging like a bull before stated. Imagine what would have happened if they didn't see the guy with the cam or if it was behind some bar.

Wow.

[ecwowserver]

wow, i'm glad that i moved out of the states, place is fucked up

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

The blue wall of silence is fucking destroying everything , convict the cops that break the law so the world can trust them again or its all over , everyday we see the brotherhood replace judge and jury and people say nothing , the cop did it on purpose , this is the destructive blue wall of silence , the reporters are idiots for not speaking out , traitors !!

[kissel85]

in the past cops were civil human beings; this cop is an animal; the guys yelling and the cop immediately grabs him by the throat and slams him into a window; in the past if someone was being unruly a cop would get in front of him and try to talk to him, and if he didnt calm down grab him and lead him aside and talk to him outside of the train;; then arrest if necessary; cops have no self control, theyre a bunch of steroid-taking, meathead morons who love to beat people up and boss them around

[kissel85]

but they usually would never even arrest in the past; at worst they would just lead the guy away and out onto the street and let him walk home; cops in america are out of control psychopaths; especially these peanut gallery transportation cops and security guards trying to compensate for being low man on the totem pole in the law enforcement world

[boscoruby]

When were the cops civil human beings?

[kissel85]

where do they get battery on a police officer? the guy never touched the cop. disorderly, yes; resisting arrest, maybe; battery on a police officer, absolutely not;; lying scum with their trumped up charges ruining people's lives;; the cop didnt get a concussion, thats bs; and if the cop got hit with glass its his own fault for shoving someones head through a window

[BlayneAndMaximus]

I've got NO problem with this one. The Police Officer did a fine job. My preference would have been to not see hin take him to the wall but to simply drop him to the ground by tripping him... but this is a good bust.

[boscoruby]

This wasn't the cop's fault - the fucking glass shouldn't have broken that easily. The crooked contractor who installed substandard glass and the crooked  politician who gave him the contract should be punished for this, not the cop.

I'll bet it surprised the shit out of the cop when the glass broke. btw, I don't like cops.

[GOPisTheHypocrisy]

GO COP!!!!

[farkoff1234]

Are you people retarded? It's obvious the guy broke the window with his fist. He takes a swing at it at 0:46 and breaks the window. It isn't the cop's fault at all.

[Ed76638]

I love how these bitches add the charge of battery when clearly they were doing the battery.

[1Empresslioness]

I agree that the guy shooting racial slurs was an ass, but the police said that it was heavy duty glass. How does that shatter easy?

[MotoUSMC]

That guy can go screw himself. The window broke easily. The guy was out of control, glass breaking does not mean anything other than weak windows.

Bravo to the Cop.

[InspectahDeck718]

LMAO that was hillarious!!

[barstow89]

He got what he deserved... a reality check

[james662662662]

Dear communist media: This scum bag piece of gutter shit did not appear to put his head through the window. It looks like it was his hand, that is, the one not holding the beer. Why don't you go back to actually reporting the news, you liberal scum.

Dear BART admin, Grow a spine you bunch of cowards. I don't know why anyone would want to work for you. Pull your tails out from between your legs and ACT LIKE GOD DAMNED POLICE OFFICERS.

Dear Officer,

Great job, heal fast.

[BEEFYROCKS123]

Lets be serious here! The guy is acting like a damn fool, and if he has mental problems someone should be watching him so its there fault. And the cop did good by taking him off the transportation but he should have been careful where to slam the dude.

[BodhisattvaWade]

If he would have been high, instead of drunk, he would probably be sitting down on the train eating a donut.

[almawells]

@BodhisattvaWade You are so right!! Absolutely right! Now do you understand why marijuana is illegal? Do you know now why alcohol is perfectly legal? Tobacco and alcohol helps cut down on our planet's over-population problems. Marijuana solves pain problems, makes people want peace so they can eat more. If pot were legalized, these cops wouldn't find people to fight with...

[PathOfDistrAction]

he was drunk shouting out racial slurs at evrybody at least thts wat i read...he got wat he deserved to get arrested but...the thing tht i hate the most is how they have to say "the cop sustained minor injuries" who gives a fuck about the cop the guy was the one who got pushed in the glass

[DARRJOHN]

officer did a great job removing the drunk off the train but no need to break the window with the mans face. could have caused lots of damage to the mans face it the mans crime wasn;t that serious

[momzilla57]

that cop put his head through that window on purpose.if that was heavy duty glass then then the force used was excessive ..they are trained to take people down appropriately....i call bull crap

[pgorman78]

The guys dad said he is part black, just light skinned. His mother said he has substance abuse and mental problems, that he has been committed to a mental institution, and that they have been trying to have him put away.. But she added that she believed the cop acted excessively. How can she say that with a strait face? Is it because BART has deep pockets?

[jjojjorge]

Talk about an unintelligent, thus inefficient way of dealing with the situation. Obviously, the officer is not Socrates like or so, not even...

[snowmchristv]

I bet that white guy grew up with niggers. get him away from those niggers and the kid wont act that way

[0sAndOnes]

Oh he was white? Fuck him then.

[7jerryv7]

I think the glass breaking was an accident. However, I do not seek resisting arrest or battery.

[everythingeco]

Let's see how much media coverage and "outrage" this gets since it's a white dude

[S10slayer]

should have slammed him up against the cement pillar lol

[boscoruby]

Oakland needs more cops and more windows.

[sjaguiar]

They oughta give that cop a medal and a raise. Way to go,!!

[nytmstr]

This cop did nothing wrong

[TracyRiders]

I don'have any sympathy whatsoever for this kind of wacko. Good job officer for protecting good citizens and whooping ass of these such unruly punk!

[pgorman78]

If any of you have ever been to W. Oakland BART you would see the years worth of etched grafiti on those glass windows.. That will be the issue here- not use of force, but whether BART's maintenance of the window was negligent.

[pgorman78]

Zencat is the kind of guy you hate watching a football game with.. "If I was that guy I woulve moved left, hurdled the second guy, done a spin move, and done a backflip into the enzone for a touchdown." Nice knee move suggestion- I'm sure it works great in the Dojo- but untill u have to arrest an angry drunk who will do anything to stay out of jail your hindsight is worthless.

[phototristan]

The suspect put his hand right through the glass himself.

[bk1696]

why is it that everyone is so quick to accuse the police for wrongdoing? Police are hard working heros and need to be thanked for protecting us from ass h*les like this dumb drunk.

[shorerebel]

Bottom line: If the mouthy bastard had shut the f___ up and complied with the officer's directions, then no problem. Why is the officer always on trial in these sitiations?? If his head hit the glass, so what? That punk ass loser brought it on himself, not the cop.

[zencat999]

cops in general should be trained to NOT let there emotions get away with them to the point that they just want to beat the living schit out of people just to subdue them.

[zencat999]

now about the particular incident, the officer should have been trained to use his knee to push the back of the mans knee and calmly put him (not throw him) onto the ground as soon as he cleared the BART car.

I am NOT excusing what this perp did, and he must stand trial for drunk, disorderly, and maybe resisting but NOT assaulting an officer. the officer caused his own problem by stupidly pushing this perp up against the glass that he should have known would break.

all rather unfortunate.

[zencat999]

my contention with this is that cops in general use way too much force ALL the time instead of using the right amount to stop, subdue and arrest people.

these people (cops) are only trained to be aggressive and brutal in the efforts to stop, subdue and arrest people.

the training should include reminding these violent cops that they have all the benefits of "mace", tasers, clubs,handcuffs and (unfortunately necessary) guns.

they should be trained to CALMLY remind these perps of that fact.

car.

[halflifer2]

The damn guy punched the window himself, cop didn't do that.

[Sean8033]

The public thinks your PIGS!

[conspiracy777]

It was a little bit bungled when the officer slung him into the window. If he would have taken him down to begin with it wouldn't be an issue. Obviously the applause from the other train riders tells the story here. The cops were heros plain and simple. If I had to take that kid down he would have had a lot more injury.

[gynronin]

He's only a cop so he can be violent.

[SRHawk24]

lol he says it like the glass magically shattered 1:22 ... Hmm I wonder how..?

[bellamamalette]

charged with battery to a cop??? Didnt see him hurting or hitting the cop in any way....maybe resisting arrest and drunk and disorderly...but he didnt touch the cop...like how thesystem likes to add on the extra invisible charges

[Arrowhead2k1]

Any lawyer with half a brain will get that BS charge dropped in a heartbeat.

[cmangy]

wHAAAAAOOOO.  five oh said *SMASH* FREEZE.

[KenyanObama]

Beware of "the wall area."

[KeithGraham1]

Hey guy was acting like an asshole. He wanted a fight thats what he got.

[Miredninja]

The glazier on that job sucked!
