Serving, Protecting, Wounding...

A couple of friends from out west have been feeding me information on this mess, which looks more justified by the minute.
Protesters angry over a deadly New Year’s Day shooting of a young black man by a transit police officer erupted into violence in downtown Oakland on Wednesday night while investigators struggled to determine what prompted the officer to fire his gun into the unarmed man’s back.
Why so angry? Here's video of that noble civil servant shooting an unarmed, handcuffed black man in the back for, well, no apparent reason whatsoever. Note: the magic happens at around 1:25.



Quick poll: Think this is worse than the poor bastard who was sodomized by three brave NYPD officers? I mean, at least a gunshot wound leaves a scar you can actually show people.
