Stop The Madness: A Cop Shoots An Unarmed Man In The Back
Grant holds up his hands, appearing to plead with police. Burris said Tuesday that Grant was asking police not to use a Taser. “He said to them, ‘Don’t Tase me; I have a 4-year-old daughter,’ ” Burris said. The interaction on the video is not audible. Seconds later, police put Grant face-down on the ground. Grant appears to struggle. One of the officers kneels on Grant as another officer stands up, tugs at his gun, unholsters it and fires a shot into Grant’s back. Burris said the bullet went through Grant’s back and then ricocheted off the floor and through his lungs. Grant, who has a 4-year-old daughter, died seven hours later, KTVU reported.

How can you explain a cop shooting an unarmed man on the floor and in the back? Even with video evidence this cop will some way get off without doing any jail time.

Maybe it was an accident but whether it was an accident or not. If a cop makes a mistake like that he should be punished…then it should be second degree murder. Send that mothafucka to San Quentin.

damn the police is there to protect people and look at this shit? i was never brought up or ever in a situation where the police betrayed my trust. but when it comes to my life the only thing i really trust is my ability to stay alive, and if it means gunning down a policeman then so be it. at the end of the day he’s human just like me and everybody else and does stupid shit too. they act high and mighty because we call them when we’re in trouble, but mothafucka thats ur fuckin job.
i watched a local documentry a few years ago where policemen who went down in the ghettos gave there thoughts and reason behind some of there actions. there face blurred out of course… they said they shoot men in the ghetto without evidence because they were afraid of getting shot first lol lol lmao. one said its fucked up… but when they radio him he waits a lil while before driving to the location so the rest of the boys reaches lol lol. they may war in the ghetto but they ave one thing in common they hate us, he said lol. it is what it is b, my friend from high school told me how they would stop him and throw him to the floor coming home from school. but his school frenz in his community carry guns so… but anyway that particular case is fucked up, shit… those policemen are well seasoned to the streets we dont know who that guy really is… im not defending them im just saying….

they should not be allowed to carry guns like that if they don’t know how to use em. if the transit cop was alone and the person was really resisting in a dangerous way I could understand it if he’d shoot him in the leg, but dang in the upper body when the person is on the ground and hand-cuffed!?? retard!
