This video was shot by an individual who wants to remain anonymous..
Oscar Grant was held down by two BART Officers, one,the guy with the bald head, putting a knee on Oscars head, the other, who is the shooter, Johannes Mehserle holding him down, kneeing on his legs or back. Mehserle then gets up drawing his gun, also seeming to hold down Oscar with his foot, before he shoots him.
The original video was deleted by youtube 'due to terms of use violation.'
@ssn708 You have obviously never held a taser, it feels nothing like a berretta, (the first difference is the obvious weight difference, and before shooting REAL pistol you have to take of the safety, on a taser you don't, so unless his finger "slipped" and took off the safety, this is MURDER. If he didn't know the difference between a taser and a beretta, he shouldn't of been given either of them.

@airsoftlover23 Not what he intended to do. He intended to tase, which would have been appropriate given the circumstances.

@STRAIGHTWHITE1980 Way wrong. There were 5 suspects, none of whom had been searched, dozens of people encroaching on officers and refusing their orders to keep a distance, and 3 assaults on officers on the platform while this was going on. If you thoroughly research you will find this was justified use for a taser, which is what Mehserle stupidly, inexcusably, and fatally mistook his sidearm for.

Completely unjustifiable no matter what you say to try to justify it. There were 4 officers there vs 1 person. My heart goes out to Grants family and friends And most of all his daughter.

@friscob1 ACTUALLY it does matter if he was shot or tazed. A shot killed the man so I suggest you reword whether or not someones life matters

Was he shot or tased? I really couldn't tell, not that it really matters one way or the other.
