A San Francisco Time Lapse In One Minute. Enjoy!
Jan 12 2009
As of today’s date, the cop who shot an unarmed man in the back on New Year’s day has still yet to be interviewed. I’ve also heard and it’s been confirmed that the cop has received death threats serious enough to prompt him and his family to move twice since New Year’s Day. It is also rumored that the cop thought he had a taser in his hand rather than a gun. However witnesses, videos and photos of that evening show that the cop never even carried a taser.
Everyone is still up in arms and there have been several BART board meetings which to me are a waste of time at this point. Until the cop is questioned BART cannot do anything anyway. Due to the shooting however there will be a permanent commission appointed to oversee BART and it’s police.
People are calling for the resignation of the district attorney and will circulate petitions to that end.
Everyone involved is promising there will be some resolution made by the end of this week. However anything short of the cop being arrested and charged with murder will not suffice.
