• GET MILITANT

[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

[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. . .

[KeithGraham1]

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

[BodhisattvaWade]

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

[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?

[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...

[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.
