I'll enlighten the keyboard warriors on here who just look for an excuse to bad mouth police.
 
BART officers have jurisdiction statewide. They will serve warrants and do more than just act as security guards. They are Sworn Peace Officers. While details are still coming out, it sounds like this was a joint effort with dublin pd and they came across an open door on a house of a suspect already in custody. 
 
I find it disgusting for those on here to be mocking and degrading a man who lost his life just doing his job protecting the public. BART officers work some of the most dangerous areas in the state. Anyone who has actually made a trip at night will know this to be true.  

Guys pee standing up, its one of the perks of being a guy.

I think its more amazing that some people respond better to a ruthless dictator forcing them to live their lives a certain way than by having "freedom." I spent roughly 27 months in Iraq and saw people who really have no idea what freedom or democracy is. They voted for leaders that only split the country instead of unting it. Religion rules the region and has destroyed any concept of free will. Just because we remove a tyrant doesnt mean we can change a culture that has been that way for thousands of years. Without a dominant power determining every aspect of the peoples lives, the country lives in chaos. Either by a group like al queda, a ruthless dictator, or by the pressure from the church, the only way these people will live peacefully is thru fear.  
 
Its a shame because there are millions of hard working people there who just want whats best for their families.
 
 
And anyone who believes this war was about WMD's, stopping a madman, or later preventing terrorism is a fool. This war was about generating cash for private companies at the expense of iraqi civilians and American troops. Its insane how much money Iraq made for a few elites.   

My current job made me write a 4-5 page autobiography. I had a week to complete it. The day I turned it in, the HR girl took it from me, sat me down in a room, and told me I had an hour to rewrite it, without the copy I already wrote. I was a little frustrated but I think its awesome they can weed people out that way.

Looks like Martinez was starring Balfour down the entire time after he hit the foul ball. Balfour waited for a new ball and after catching it noticed Martinez was still starring at him and in a not so polite way asked him what he was looking at.

Illegals drive throw away cars. Cars that are not insured and not registered. Giving them a license does not make them safe drivers, it means they now have a valid ID that wrongfully gives them a link to being a citizen. Everytime you hear a politician say, "we are doing this to make you safe." it really means "im buying more votes" The day I retire im out of this state, I just hope I can hold out that long.

Most Valuable Player, Not Team.  Its stupid when people look so far into "Valuable" as meaning anything but best player in the league. It is an individual achievement and debating what team is better should not be part of the talk. This is the same arguement that says guys like King Felix shouldnt win Cy Young because of a 13-12 record just because their team sucks.  If anything, debate how better Trout would be if he had the support Miggy has in his lineup.
 
Until there is "Best player in the league award", MVP needs to go to the best player in the league.

Innocent Criminally, Guilty Civilly

I am watching the video.  The two guys are holding the suspect.  The cops are in a shiathole semi war zone, with other more pressing issues going on as well.
 
The dog sprints over and the 3rd cop, in a half second, pulls out his gun.  I know, nate, you are superhuman, and in that split second, you could have determined a better course of action.  The cop's first thought was self preservation.  Not everyone can have the instincts and 20/20 hindsight of you, nate, to decide that, despite a rottweiler sprinting over, you'd pull out the stun gun and subdue the animal gracefully.

Looks like it was some sort of swat stand off. (Swat Bearcat on the street). So random guy not following orders to stay back can be detained legally. The search and cuffing is justified. As far as the dog, we all know he was trying to protect his owner, but how many dog bites to a cop (or any person for that matter) do you want to see before self defense is used? That officer did everything he could but if a dog that size attacks someone deadly force will always be justified.
 
It's a sad situation but this was not a trigger happy cop killing some innocent puppy.
 
taser and pepper spray against something trying to kill you? get real.

I like the way that guys here think that cops should be like Batman, with their magical tool belt, ready to switch in a half second's notice from stun gun to pepper spray, to a real gun.  All while serving in some of the worst shiatholes this side of Beirut.
 
You watch too many movies.
 
You don't want your dog shot, keep the f*cking dog under control.

Oh for F's sake.  These cops really deserve to go home each and every night to dinner without being shot at, bitten, and who knows what else happens in godforsaken shiatholes like Hawthorne, Ca.
 
IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR DOG SHOT, KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR DOG.  ROLL OUT UP THE WINDOWS SO THE DOG CANT CLIMB OUT, AND ATTACK COPS
 
IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR DOG, ITS ON YOU.  NOT ON THE COPS.

Does this mean I dont have to pay taxes because I dont agree that tax dollars go to fund private religious schools?
