All BART police need to be fired and just hire securitas instead. they will get the job done WITHOUT conflict. at what point do we officially pull the plug on these over-zealous idoits? Do we need to loose another life?

One time I saw Bart police slam a girl to the ground because she wouldn’t put her food down. That being said I never resist when a cop tells me something. I don’t know exactly what happened in the video.

Yeah it was all over the news last night and this morning. It’s crazy cause the West Oakland Bart Station is about a 25 bus ride from where I live. Pretty much the same in terms of the Fruitvale one as well. All I know is that action needs to be taken, because unnecessary force was utilized.

Man it wasnt even that bad. If the correct tempered gl***** was used to gl***** would have never shattered.

the ‘officer’ should be fired…

that is a perfect example of ‘excessive force”

AND everyone that isn’t a minority, will see no harm done, while everyone that is a minority will see the injustice and unfairness of it all…

Maybe he did deserve to be arrested ( I dk, i wasn’t there), but whatever he did, certaintly does
not call for this violent type of behaviour, much less, ‘law-enforcement’…

EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW SHOULD BE A GIVEN RIGHT, NOT SELECTIVELY ENFORCED, DEPENDING ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD…

I certaintly hope this man is alright, and I hope he gets one heck of a lawsuit against the City and personally against the officer and against the poice dept, for training the ‘criminals w/ badges’, in this violent and unnecessary manner. A lawsuit also needs to be filed against violation of his civil rights…

And finally: Wht folks should not be patroling a predominately blk community, where no whts really live, this gives them a chance to be more ’scared’ in their argument to justify using unnecessary force… Do you ever see blks patroling wht neighborhoods? I don’t mean the token that lives in the community, why do we not have the same treatment? Blk officers in blk communities…Well, maybe they are too busy being gunned down, for being blk while carrying a weapon…( anybody remember NY blk cop, killed?)

Clearly, we need more blk officers to have blk people dealt with, in a much more humane manner, instead of just shooting blks or using violence…

When you act a fool expect them to treat you like one. The cop was wrong for the amount of force he used, causing the window to break.

@always knew

I disagree with what you said about white people should not patrol in a black neighborhood. White people go through the Oakland bart stops all the time so I disagree with your *****essment on that point.

it looks like the gl***** broke before his body even got to it… he probably punched his hand through it trying to strong-arm the police…



Why oh Why?!

11/23/09, 20:17:pm

I do not see excessive force being taken. If it was tempered gl***** it would not have broken. We do not see what the man was doing prior to the video starting, but it was obvious that he was irate or boisterous and was carrying what looked like an alcoholic beverage. All of the p*****engers applauded when he was taken off of the train.

I have seen angry drunks, and trust me, it’s better that the officer got him off of the train than to let him run amuck (sp?)and possibly hurt someone.



Why oh Why?!

Just read another article where the guy’s own father told CNN that he is bi-polar and suffered from drug abuse.

Police brutality has been out of control. Some personalities already have a power happy mindset and once they become police officers…it’s o-v-e-r. Kudos to all the legit and hardworking police officers but something got to be done about all this excessive force going on around the nation.

I hate the police but i can honestly say from looking a the video, he didn’t try to slam the man’s head through the gl*****. The man was drunk/bipolar/drugs etc.. The officer had to use force to put the man against the wall and unfortunately it wasn’t strong gl*****.

LOL I think this was a case of cheap gl***** more than brutality lol. he didn’t even slam him that hard. Look I’m no loer of the polce, had a few run ins myself, but if the crowd was clapping obviiously he was an annoying a-hole. was it excessive force, no the gl***** was just cheap.

It really said to say; but thoses of us that in the Bay Area already know how BART Police do. They are now mad cause people have camera phones and are catching this on them. Before the cameras at the stations NEVER caught any of this stuff…..

Makes you think huh? And to C-Red; you would not say that if it where your loved one being treated that way.

You dummies didn’t even see the whole video. Dude was getting loud and trying to fight people on the train.

They dialed 911, which is why the BART officer showed up. The dude was bi-polar, and drunk or on drugs.

Earlier in the day the guy KICKED AN 80 YEAR OLD MAN, was arrested, then released.

He deserved to get his skull cracked. You can’t just be wilin on people while they’re tryin to get home from work and expect nothing to happen.

If I woulda been on that train I would have f***** dude up myself. I been on enough BART trains with crazy people terrorizing people. It aint fun.



nice try

11/24/09, 04:44:am

FAIL.

Anyone watching the video can see the cop was putting him up against the wall to cuff him. The gl***** wasn’t strong enough and it accidentally broke. He obviously didn’t ‘throw him through a window’ in some police brutality situation.

The psycho’s yelling & threatening p*****engers, the cop shows up to take him away and everybody applauds the police man.

When black people stop supporting the criminals of the world, they’ll get more respect from the world.

I am black and I say he was wrong for disrupting the p*****engers. Take his no good unruly ***** to jail. Police never know what might happen during any arrest. They are taught to control the situation. He showed loudmouth that he was in total control. No excessive force here, just a policeman doing his job. Thankyou officer Friendly!

I’m from Oakland and the Oscar Grant shooting was a tragic crime. However, I don’t think that incident paints over the bart officers all together. This incident was clearly not the officers doing, the guy actually punches the gl***** with his right hand as he’s being led towards the window area. Now OPD, those are some mean mother***! Oakland folks – u experience any the same?

U all should peep the video again; you’ll see that the guy punches the gl***** just as he’s getting pushed over there. AND he looks like he punched it on purpose! Check it out again.

I was trippin on why my word gl*****s was being **** out. Its because they dont want you saying azz! LOL
Lets check out this theory. cl*****, br*****, b***** bad*****!

@ YALL TRIPPIN

So he deserves to get his skull cracked?! really?

If he is bipolar, then he has a mental condition and I think it is really insensitive to say that he deserves to get his skull cracked because of it.

11/24/09, 19:49:pm

did anyone of you watch the video? it’s evident that the man was just doing his job and didn’t use excessive force. He even got hurt himself and people on the train even offer him help. SMH @ BOSSIP for twisting this story. Get it together.
