BART rider shot in back

The story
The officer involved in a New Year's Day shooting that left a passenger dead in a crowded Oakland, California, subway station resigned Wednesday, a Bay Area Rapid Transit spokesman said.

BART spokesman Linton Johnson said in a statement that the officer's attorney and his union representative submitted the resignation at a meeting Wednesday morning with BART police investigators. The officer was going to be at the meeting but did not show up, Johnson said.

The resignation was effective immediately.

The video has been edited to make evryone believe this Cop was a bad guy. These are unsubstantiated, frabricated allegations that must be proven in court. Our justice system will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this Officer is innocent!! People the Police have saved us time and time again. So show your support, beleive in the system. Cops rule!!!
