This has nothing to do with Adam Curry...
The last part of the video was from the Rodney King riots in 1991.
If you have watched the video of the cop who killed Oscar Grant you will see him look up and look down. The video was too obscure to see his expression but he looked amazed/surprised. Like "WTF, that taser just put a hole in his back!
I doubt he intentional thought "fire my weapon". I think he thought it was a taser gun. Even though the guns look and feel differently.
There are reports that say they there is no difference in weight.
"The ADVANCED TASER M26 (Police version) is 19.2 ounces, the glock M26 which it is modeled after is 19.75 ounces (26 ounces loaded)."
I don't think they use Glock's. But still that is a weighty stun gun.
Even if it was a mistake why would one Bart Official say there was no video and the next say, the video does not show the gun going off?
Not smart. Specially when we have all seen what happened, though it might actually help the police explain how this was an "accident" if there was a better video of the jack ass cop who decided his life was being threatened even though he had 6 of his buddies around.
I fear...
I fear this is going to end up the same way the Rodney King riots did. Especially if the cop is found innocent. And there is the argument of weather he was restrained or not, not that that matters.
