Oscar Grant BART Police Shooting Video, Oakland, January 1, 2009
Oscar Grant, 22, was fatally shot by BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle at Fruitvale station in Oakland, California, shortly after 2 a.m. on January 1, 2009. Grant had been detained with friends and was being held face-down on the platform when Mehserle drew his pistol and shot him once in the back. Grant died later that day. Passengers aboard a stopped train recorded the encounter on their phones. Mehserle resigned from BART and was arrested on January 13, 2009. At trial, he said he had intended to draw his Taser rather than his pistol. A jury convicted him of involuntary manslaughter on July 8, 2010, acquitting him of second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. He received a two-year prison sentence and was released on parole on June 13, 2011, after about 11 months in custody.

The so called incident was because he mistook his gun for a taser. So the rent a cop says....Well that is the defense there going with...

Wow, that was an execution style murder if I ever saw one. Usually, when these things are 'reviewed', they somehow always come back saying the shooting was justified.
