Reply #26: it was no big deal. i only said that to clarify that if BART took the footage, it was their police [View All]

that did that.

BART is a governmental agency, the special transit district. the BART police are part of the district.

although they are peace officers that can act throughout the state, so can officers of other jurisdictions. so San Mateo police officers work for San Mateo, but they can act outside San Mateo but within California to stop a crime. same with BARt.

but it's little more than a digression at this point.

overall, i'm just really worried that what happened on BART is as bad or worse than what we are hearing in the media coverage. an officer shooting a handcuffed and restrained suspect could likely be murder and if witness accounts are correct --it is murder.
