San Francisco police assassinate restrained man

[bcholmes]

Jesus.

On New Year’s morning, the San Francisco BART police — yes, transit cops — dragged a bunch of young men off a train, including Oscar Grant. An officer then proceeded to execute Grant of them with a gunshot through the back, while he was restrained and lying face-down on the ground.

Edit: the cop has resigned.

As we speak, big protests (http://www.kcbs.com/Protest-Over-BART-Shooting-Turns-Violent--Officer-/3617394) with an apparently somewhat nasty edge are just winding down.

I can't bring myself to watch the videos.
