the problem here is the crowd, as a computer technician i wouldn perform well under preassure if I had 20 people recording me, same thing with the cop, in a situation like that, the crowd made him nervous which was why he used the gun unknowingly. if i was a judge, i would charge everybody in the crowd with conspiracy to murder. if they woulda let the man do his job that death woulda been avoided
The shooting was not intentional. Don't let your emotions get ahead of the damn facts. There should be an inquiry, but some people here want to hang or fuck police? Get outta here.
This idiot should at least serve a couple of years for negligent manslaughter but I'm sure this was not racially motivated. These people were being arrested for breaking the law and the victim kept trying to get up... Even the person recording it says "Stay down man" "Stop resisting".... but the cop was just a scared, panicked, idiot, not a racist.... He probably couldn't have told the difference between a pistol, taser, or freakin water gun at that point...
Sadly, I do believe this is just a stupid fucking cop who was panicked by actually having to do his job... There should be much better intense situational training for these wanna be heroes... This douche-bag probably joined the force cause he was a pussy and he wanted to build up his confidence.
I can't believe some of the comments here. "Act like an animal get shot like an animal". I'm glad that you think that totalitarian dictatorships are acceptable.
What happens when you're the "animal"? You want to get shot too? I bet you would have felt differently if it were a friend or family member of yours. Or even yourself, for that matter.
People like you are what makes this country more and more like Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia every day...
The cop was convicted for "involuntary manslaughter", the least severe charge but still a felony. His life as a cop is over. Like most cops, he as zero marketable skills, and terrible people skills, so he's going to serve time and then work at minimum wage. At some point, he will forget he's no longer a cop, pick the wrong fight, and get his due. He will no longer have a gun OR a Taser, and if he does it's back to prison.
Still, if it had been the other way around- Grant had shot the cop- you know damn well that he would have gotten more than "involuntary manslaughter"- he would have had a full on murder conviction and spent the rest of his life in prison, even if he claimed that it was an "accident" just like that cop did. Nobody would have believed the black guy from SF, but they would believe the white cop.
We have TOO MANY COPS. Too many citizens believe cops exist to protect us. WRONG. They have no obligation to protect us; they have the desire to protect themselves above all. If there are enough cops to get to your home in three minutes because a big crazy man is kicking in your door, then there are enough cops to harass us and pick fights that make cowardly cops feel brave.
Unfortunately, cops are just another gang. They're a group of thugs reppin colors and holding guns...
I feel bad lumping them all into that group because I've had the pleasure of knowing some good police officers- men that were doing what they did because they wanted to serve and protect, not just shoot gang bangers and be a big man who gets the OK to speed in residential areas for no god damn reason... But these days this mentality rules the police force. It's a damn shame.
@BugnutsRa You miss a major point in your attempt. Grant would have no reason to have any weapon of any type pointed at an officer. Grant was resisting arrest and had caused a disturbance on a train. The officer had a duty to arrest Grant, Grant would have no duty to pull a weapon on an officer.
What? I wasn't saying he would have a reason to brandish a weapon at an officer- I didn't even say that at all. I said if he HAD shot him then Grant would have been convicted of murder and put away forever, for killing an officer. However, our backassward society has the same situation happen, but instead, the OFFICER killing the CITIZEN and the OFFICER gets a lesser charge, for what is and will always be MURDER.
To add to that- What the fuck are you talking about anyway?
No shit Grant would not have a reason to brandish a weapon.... You absolutely misunderstood my previous posts.
I was making the point that if a citizen murders a police officer that they get the full force of the law when their punishment is dolled out. However, when an officer kills a civilian, and calls it an accident (when it was clearly NOT an accident, maybe HORRIBLY BAD JUDGEMENT at most) he gets a lesser charge.
@BugnutsRa I don't miss your point at all. It is simply a false and ignorant point, easily dispelled with some common sense. A police officer is charged with apprehending suspects and is authorized in the use of deadly force. A citizen is not. So yes, if Grant were to have shot Mehserle, he would be guilty of murder. Mehserle, who meant to tase Grant, was in the performance of his duties when a tragic mistake happened. One that would not have happened had Grant not resisted.
A police officer is authorized to use deadly force when HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER.
Did his life look like it was in danger? Was Grant armed? NO.
Was the officer surrounded by an angry mob of armed citizens all by himself? NO. He was in the presence of other police officers, they had Grant on the ground!
Just because you struggle when a cop has his fucking knee in the back of your head, doesn't justify SHOOTING YOU TO DEATH.
@BugnutsRa 1) Mehserle had no intention of using deadly force, he intended to tase him, which is quite obvious. 2) Yes, every officer there knew their life was in danger, a hostile crowd had begun physically attacking officers.3) Yes they had Grant on the ground, but they were outnumbered 5-1 by the crowd who began attacking officers, and therefore needed to subdue Grant without further delay. 4) I have never said the shooting was justified, only that it was accidental, and criminally negligent.
Really? He deserved it? Do you know him personally? Did he rape or murder somebody? That would have been the only way he would have deserved to be executed. And guess what- He didn't fucking do anything deserving an execution...
WHAT???!!!! what THE FUCK!!! "WAS THE KILLING JUSTIFIED???" JUSTIFIED? INTENTIONAL? THE KILLING? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? HOW IS A POLICE OFFICER EVER JUSTIFIED IN DOING THIS???
You seriously need to get a clue.... At the time he was telling people to calm down and they started hitting him for it ? Then fucking killed him !?!? Not ACCEPTABLE! And btw how do you know he actually had a part in what happened and wasn't just trying to break things up ? YOU DON'T !! LOL retard ! Thanks for playing but you still lose...
one rant - You don't know what happened either, so maybe you shouldn't be hypocritical. I'm done, because honestly, I don't give a fuck about this guy or the cop.
@wdchr Were you? Fuck. I just dgaf. If the cops had shot some guy who wasn't doing anything, I'd be right there with you, but thats not the situation.
you can tell it was a accedent. look at his face. you can hear him almost crying... stupid mistake. should be punnished but he didn't try to kill him...
The guy that stands up @ 1.39 is soft! If the cops were yelling,"OH GOD, OH NO",.....He shouldve swung on the cop bcuz the cop shot someone in front of him on mistake!!! Think bout it,....? let me know UR answer!
Police should invest in issuing weapons that physically require an active intention of an officer to shoot said weapon before it can be discharged (a thumb toggle that must be pressed in and held locked in order to un-safety the gun), then there would be no more excuses of "accidential" firings as an officer would have to both draw and (with intent) push down and hold the safety toggle in order to fire, thus removing any future claims by police of accidential shootings of innocent civilians.
there were so many cops there was no need to even tase really. those tasers kill as much people as they save anyway as you can't account for what condition a persons heart may be in. But this happening right around these other racial incidents involving police is too coincidental for me.
aint no way..str8 coverup..you see the officer to the right talking on the radio immediately before the shot..as the shot was fired his reaction was not proportionate to what just happened..a gunshot went off right beside him, his reaction to look back was alil too delayed for me..he need to go to jail too
if it was in someones hand that's intentional, just how they put the rule in my kids school that if they pick up a rock no matter how big it is, they are already intending to throw it and even if it isn't to a person they are already in trouble, and they have to go to the office or get suspended. so how can this be justified, unless it was in the holster.
it needed 4 police merely to restrain the man......... clearly he was dangerous and violent...... so the cop was going to PROTECT HIMSELF as is his God given right in these united states and made a mistake.... so what!!! anoter criminal off the streets good riddence
wtf are you talking about how was he dangerous and violent. He was on the floor face down not doing a goddamn thing. The worst he could have been doing was talking shit, but clearly the officer wasnt in any harm. As you can see in the video the officer just stand up and shoots him in the back. Protecting himself my ass, the law always 'accidentally' does something to minority's
so does that call for killing there were 4 of them on him u bastard u see white ppl alway complain that blks especially and minorities are always cosing trouble and pulling race cards but even when they see prrof the white cop was at fault they blatantly lie to themselves that the blks are at fault even in a video like this
yes there are four cops on the person but he was not allowing the officers to get him up on his feet to take him away. this is a form of ressisting arrest. it does no matter if the person is white or black if he ressits he would have been tased( wich the officer thought he was doing) the cop should be heald acountable for killing this man but he was not abuseing his powers.
Actually what you are saying is a lie. The truth is he was telling people to calm down and for that they chose to hit him and kill him. Sound fair to you? I would like to see this done to every retard that gets on here talking trash and saying the cop was justified! That would be just imho.
@JCrest87 Yeah they didn't show the whole video. The whole video would have showed that the kid was compliant, 5 cops were on him, the kid didn't do anything had his hands up, laying down, and then popped in the back of the head. If THAT is violent I hate to see what my knowledge of violence is.
this officer discharged his wepon this is true. . . but if you watch it he looks at the wepon after it fires. he thought he was useing his taser. this officer use a tatical holster witch means the taser was strapted to his leg. directly under the firearm under a strssfull situotion he drew his firearm by mistake. how is this a abuse of power/
if someone can be acquitted of murder by simply saying "i thought it was my taser, see how i looked at the gun after i shot it!", then everyone can use that excuse
I am not saying he should not be held acountable for his actions he was the one who fired the wepion. what I am saying that how can we jump down this mans throut for abuseing his powers.
Yes, I totaly agree with you. I'm not white or black so no sides to take here but you are right. In a situation like this I would not know which firearm I'm using.
A gun has a trigger and is shaped like a gun. A taser is shaped like a fat remote. If you are a cop you should damn well know what the difference is between your firearms or you shouldnt be holding them at all.
no you are thinking of a stun gun they are shaped like a remote. A taser is shaped like a gun becuse it shoots out prongs to delver the shock. the taser is commonly mistaken as a gun
@JCrest87 Yes, SOME tasers are shaped like "fat remotes"; as you said, it would be impossible to mix that up with a gun. However, I think you're forgetting about taser guns (google it for a pic).
A well-trained officer still shouldn't mix them up, of course, but given the similarity between a taser gun and a real one, it still COULD have been unintentional.
@JCrest87 I personally, think it was accidental. I mean he was under pressure at night in a highly stressed situation. Mistaking it for a taser is possible. Yes, it feels different, but everything was all done under a few seconds. The human mind does not function at 100% all the time. How many times have you accidenlty picked up something else unintentionally, even though it clearly wasn't the item you were looking for? I also have used 2 different computers at the same times and I mistaken keyb
@JCrest87 Wrong. A taser is shaped like a gun with a trigger. The M26 and the Sig Sauer both have black rubberized handles as well. I don't know how your statement got such high ratings, but you obviously do not know what you are talking about.
black or white thats not their job and also when they deal with blacks they deal on different terms im not saying they are racist but thats not right and this has never happened to a white person and every time this repeats its self its blacks so wld u say there a re no whites doing these crimes as well only asking
what do you mean black or white its not there job and we only hear about blacks feeling the long arm of the law. I am not saying there are no racist cops out there becuse they're
its not their job to throw ppl around becos they can and in a lot of cases they do and treat ppl like they are less than human they dont want to know ill show u a video
Fuck the police... ask anyone from somewhere other than the U.S. POLICE ARE VIOLENT IN THIS COUNTRY. Its called abuse of power. Give a man a gun and watch what he can do with it.
LMAO, Ive watched this like twenty time's and it gets me everytime. Its bad when the people pretecting us has to be questioned about what they did. I dont think for a second he just blasted him for no reason. The Police Officer has my support. They should have shot some more when they started acting like "baboons" breaking into store's and rioting !!!
Every day some fucking pig abuses his power. Every once in a while somebody catches it on film. Stupid retards will say "cops have a hard job." This was an execution because the kid back talked their authority.
your a fuxcking retard . he didnt shoot the guy on purpose and he didnt fucking do his job right. is he guilty of manslughter? yes did he kill the guy on purpose? i say no. take his badge give him a year to think about it in jail . it was not murder or misuse of power. it was a rookie cop mistake!!
lookin at that angle it doesnt look like it was done on purpose. If it was, then whats the reasoning for planning to kill this man. Either way i think all of the officers involved should give some sort of apology. Especially since the video doesnt prove anything...
How could you not know it was a gun in your hand when he pull it out why did he fired it the cops is full of shit the man was face down handcuff any excuse to say it was and accident
he didn't look handcuffed to me. He still appear to be resisting. Burn your city down oakland...Just do come ask us to give you tax dollars to rebuild. Burn baby burn. Then we can build a fence around it, lock it, and then throw away the key (Will name it the Oakland ZOO). I'm so tried of the black and white thing. You both act like third world people.
obama is god..... Maybe they should start killing all gangsters and murders too....eye for an eye......oh, yeah be sure to read the whole saying to next time you make a quote. Incase you haven't....it says "judge ye not, for you will be judged too"
Youre right ArmyMPsolder the cops here are generally very very very good when you compare them to their counterparts "enforcing" the "law" all around the world.. Obviously it was an accident. but still, there is a bigger issue here at stake. What we are doing is intentionally over reacting in order to advance the cause that we are still 2nd class citizens in the eyes of the law. Anything that helps to advance that issue, welcome. For the ends justify the means of colored people!
When a cop tells you not to resist, dont. Stop acting all hard and do what you are told. Everyone knows it was an accident. You want to see brutal cops, go to Russia or Egypt. They do that and they wont put up with your crap either. Be grateful you live in America
Axident my ass!~! That mutha fucka shot him in cold blood!! Kill officer Johannes Mehserle! Find him, force him to the ground and shoot him in the back to see how he likes it! Oh no, does officer Johannes Mehserle have a family? Well, so did the innocent victim who he murdered in cold blood did! Eye for an Eye! KILL officer Johannes Mehserle!!! KILL HIM!!!~!
wow dumass an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind. Why make another family suffer? so next time you want to sound like a stupid prick go suck yourself.
Typical spook who doesnt know what he's talking about. Funny how you say "2nd class" you sir are about 3rd class. And if i ever see you i will hold you down and rape your little faggot ass in front of your wife. Please tell me one example of where "colored" people are not treated fairly. Youve heard of afirmative action, which im sure you know is a complete joke.
Deliberate or accidental - this is one cop who should have been assigned to desk duty long ago. Even if he is charged, he'll be aquitted. California don't like to admit they have some bat shit crazy cops.
what inconclusive WTF we can see the gun he stands up and shoots him in the back u can clearly see it wow know whats crazy is that people flashes guns on film and get arrested for just showning it and get charged but this motherfucker kill this guy shot im in the back and is not even charged
You all are idiots. There is no question as to whether the police officer shot and killed this man, we can agree on this. The only debate is whether it was an accident or intentional. So ask yourself, would a police officer intentionally shoot someone in the back, on the ground...infront of tens of observers.If your answer to this question is yes, you are dillusional,and quite retarded. It was obviously an accident, and he will still get punished regardless, not to mention having to live with it
actually bro cops don't really get in trouble for shit like this and he's not going to get charged.. since the video is a little bit fuzzy and unclear cuz of the angle he can claim it was an accident and he'll get a slap on the wrists.. anyway cops kill people all the time shit happens
This is honestly disgusting. Police get trigger happy and feel like they have all the power in the world. This is an honest to God general statement.. because not ALL police are this way. But when one officer does this.. it gives that name to every officer. This seems like something the United States doesn't need right now.. and honestly... this provides no trust for officers... They will try to talk themselves out of it.. THE IGNORANT IDIOT SHOT SOMEONE.
I'm angry & outraged to put it mildly. I have friends who are cops and they say the tasers and guns are on opposite sides of the belt- to make sure that there will be no mistakes made. Why would the young man need to be tasered anyway? -esp. since he was already handcuffed and face down on the ground. Did u notice that the white boy on the wall wasn't cuffed but the other 2 black men were? None of them were resisting or moving - so why was any of it necessary? JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! TRUST!
That was NO accident... he pulled out his gun and fired. And of course he's going to look surpirsed you think he wants to go to jail? Lock the asshole up!! And let the prisoners deal with him.
True, I'd be shocked. But let's not try to twist this into some kind of "us against them" vendetta against the police. The cop in this case made a tragic mistake. I think it was an accidental shooting. My prayers to the family.
Y is it everytime when dealin with people of the lower class so to speak, cops feel like its ok to use force as a means to gain control of us? The shooting was wrong flat out and under other conditions the person who did the shooting would be in jail already. Is riot the answear no, my heart a prayers go out to this family, they've lost one over sombody elses ignorance
Holy crap! I just heard a newly released audio file from the cops radio transmission that shot him. He clearly says "I want you to ask yourself one question...do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"
This is fucked up. The officer thought his pistol was a taser?! Isn't he fucking trained extensively NOT to make that mistake? Not to mention, the man on the ground was fucking unarmed, face down on the ground, AND handcuffed... This is utterly disgusting. Fuck ANYONE who can take a life so easily and then try to justify it....
Try to maintain brother... just try to maintain. That's ALL we can do OR just start a fight with things blood-greedy muthafuckas. A lot of us will die and as bad as I don't want to admit it, THAT might be what it takes to get just a little bit of respect. It worked in the '60's for about 2 years after we scare the shit of them rotten muthafuckas and what did they do? They entered cocaine into the game... game over. Now they think ALL of us are a bunch of idiots or something.
So one incident means everyone is fucked up right. No, just another excuse for people like you to use. What we need less of is people like you. Shooting was wrong, but your post does nothing but make you look like a dumbass
ONE incident? You must be related to the cop. Just like he can't tell the difference between a gun and a taser, you can't tell the difference between justice and injustice. Have YOU check ANY history? By the way, from your point of view you wouldn't know a dick or tittie in your either.
The cop actually looks surprised. These are modern days I don't know if it is power or race oriented, but either way the officer is completely insane, or incredibly stupid.
The taser is just media speculation, it is unneccesary to get hyped up and insult others. Just wait until more information becomes available before making posting anymore unwitty comments everyone.
his taser is on the opposite side of his belt...either way it wasn't neccessary to have any weapon out at that point...the man was cuffed, face down and arms behind his back
MAYmaybe so but witnesses say that the guy was begging not to be tased how do u beg and resist and also he had his hand in a surrender position when he was kneeling so thats why im saying what im saying alot of times police dont want to know or listen they just want u to move how they want u too and thats not that job
lol well if i could understand any of what you were trying to write then maybe. Quit smoking crack and go back to school. You shoot dick out there pretty freely, you a homo?
this is bull shit this is RODNEY KING all over agian you fuckin stupid ass cops you shouldve learned your lesson on the last time you fuckin did this shit
And you sir are a idiot. I dont know if you missed it but the cops that beat that dumb fuck got off. So i guess you could say there was no lesson to learn...
This just disgust me to no end....The guy was cuffed there was no reason for a stun gun or bullet! Once again a cop above the law. They might as well had a public lynching at the subway station. Wake up America get your head out of your A)(*&^*&!! This world just simply disgust me! No amount of money will justify what happened.
the problem here is the crowd, as a computer technician i wouldn perform well under preassure if I had 20 people recording me, same thing with the cop, in a situation like that, the crowd made him nervous which was why he used the gun unknowingly. if i was a judge, i would charge everybody in the crowd with conspiracy to murder. if they woulda let the man do his job that death woulda been avoided

Police should invest in issuing weapons that physically require an active intention of an officer to shoot said weapon before it can be discharged (a thumb toggle that must be pressed in and held locked in order to un-safety the gun), then there would be no more excuses of "accidential" firings as an officer would have to both draw and (with intent) push down and hold the safety toggle in order to fire, thus removing any future claims by police of accidential shootings of innocent civilians.

there were so many cops there was no need to even tase really. those tasers kill as much people as they save anyway as you can't account for what condition a persons heart may be in. But this happening right around these other racial incidents involving police is too coincidental for me.
dmile18 2 years ago
aint no way..str8 coverup..you see the officer to the right talking on the radio immediately before the shot..as the shot was fired his reaction was not proportionate to what just happened..a gunshot went off right beside him, his reaction to look back was alil too delayed for me..he need to go to jail too
dougong 2 years ago
so where exactly was the gun when it fired?
if it was in someones hand that's intentional, just how they put the rule in my kids school that if they pick up a rock no matter how big it is, they are already intending to throw it and even if it isn't to a person they are already in trouble, and they have to go to the office or get suspended. so how can this be justified, unless it was in the holster.

wtf are you talking about how was he dangerous and violent. He was on the floor face down not doing a goddamn thing. The worst he could have been doing was talking shit, but clearly the officer wasnt in any harm. As you can see in the video the officer just stand up and shoots him in the back. Protecting himself my ass, the law always 'accidentally' does something to minority's

the man was not allowing the police to take him away

so does that call for killing there were 4 of them on him u bastard u see white ppl alway complain that blks especially and minorities are always cosing trouble and pulling race cards but even when they see prrof the white cop was at fault they blatantly lie to themselves that the blks are at fault even in a video like this
sguardian870 3 years ago
yes there are four cops on the person but he was not allowing the officers to get him up on his feet to take him away. this is a form of ressisting arrest. it does no matter if the person is white or black if he ressits he would have been tased( wich the officer thought he was doing) the cop should be heald acountable for killing this man but he was not abuseing his powers.
Snakes0519 2 years ago
Actually what you are saying is a lie. The truth is he was telling people to calm down and for that they chose to hit him and kill him. Sound fair to you? I would like to see this done to every retard that gets on here talking trash and saying the cop was justified! That would be just imho.

@JCrest87 Yeah they didn't show the whole video. The whole video would have showed that the kid was compliant, 5 cops were on him, the kid didn't do anything had his hands up, laying down, and then popped in the back of the head. If THAT is violent I hate to see what my knowledge of violence is.

A gun has a trigger and is shaped like a gun. A taser is shaped like a fat remote. If you are a cop you should damn well know what the difference is between your firearms or you shouldnt be holding them at all.
JCrest87 3 years ago 17
no you are thinking of a stun gun they are shaped like a remote. A taser is shaped like a gun becuse it shoots out prongs to delver the shock. the taser is commonly mistaken as a gun
Snakes0519 3 years ago
@JCrest87 Yes, SOME tasers are shaped like "fat remotes"; as you said, it would be impossible to mix that up with a gun. However, I think you're forgetting about taser guns (google it for a pic).
A well-trained officer still shouldn't mix them up, of course, but given the similarity between a taser gun and a real one, it still COULD have been unintentional.
balthemalhatespallys 1 year ago
@JCrest87 I personally, think it was accidental. I mean he was under pressure at night in a highly stressed situation. Mistaking it for a taser is possible. Yes, it feels different, but everything was all done under a few seconds. The human mind does not function at 100% all the time. How many times have you accidenlty picked up something else unintentionally, even though it clearly wasn't the item you were looking for? I also have used 2 different computers at the same times and I mistaken keyb

@JCrest87 Wrong. A taser is shaped like a gun with a trigger. The M26 and the Sig Sauer both have black rubberized handles as well. I don't know how your statement got such high ratings, but you obviously do not know what you are talking about.

Youre right ArmyMPsolder the cops here are generally very very very good when you compare them to their counterparts "enforcing" the "law" all around the world.. Obviously it was an accident. but still, there is a bigger issue here at stake. What we are doing is intentionally over reacting in order to advance the cause that we are still 2nd class citizens in the eyes of the law. Anything that helps to advance that issue, welcome. For the ends justify the means of colored people!

You all are idiots. There is no question as to whether the police officer shot and killed this man, we can agree on this. The only debate is whether it was an accident or intentional. So ask yourself, would a police officer intentionally shoot someone in the back, on the ground...infront of tens of observers.If your answer to this question is yes, you are dillusional,and quite retarded. It was obviously an accident, and he will still get punished regardless, not to mention having to live with it

I'm angry & outraged to put it mildly. I have friends who are cops and they say the tasers and guns are on opposite sides of the belt- to make sure that there will be no mistakes made. Why would the young man need to be tasered anyway? -esp. since he was already handcuffed and face down on the ground. Did u notice that the white boy on the wall wasn't cuffed but the other 2 black men were? None of them were resisting or moving - so why was any of it necessary? JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! TRUST!

The cop actually looks surprised. These are modern days I don't know if it is power or race oriented, but either way the officer is completely insane, or incredibly stupid.
The taser is just media speculation, it is unneccesary to get hyped up and insult others. Just wait until more information becomes available before making posting anymore unwitty comments everyone.
