SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) — The Bay Area Rapid Transit Police Department will soon relegate its internal affairs investigation into the fatal New Year’s Day shooting of an unarmed man to an independent, outside agency, BART spokesman Linton Johnson told CNN Thursday.
The internal affairs investigation differs from the criminal investigation being conducted by the office of Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff.
The shooting of 22-year-old Oscar Grant III by former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle has sparked a public outrage aimed at the transit agency. Mehserle, 27, was charged with murder January 13, six days after resigning from the BART police force. He pleaded not guilty three days later.
This is the KTVU report on the Bart Police shooting that occurred on 1/1/09.
A Pennsylvania man has died after being tasered by local police, and the Civil Rights section of the FBI’s Pittsburgh office has now opened a preliminary investigation. Although the cause of death has not yet been determined, witnesses insist the man was kicked and beaten by police officers after he was forced to the ground and handcuffed.
However, witnesses insist that Thomas was then brutalized by police, with one telling KDKA News that “after he was tased and handcuffed, one officer used a football-type kick and stomped him in the head.”
Something better happen to these out of controlled officers. None of that bullshit were the officers take a paid leave and the end nothing happens. Taking human life instead of protecting it.
