Nice way to show your innocence, by running away to another state and trying to hide out.

This event is getting a lot of coverage world wide. The man who shot the suspect and then fled is a police officer. There's more to it. Don't know if you heard of the recent even involving Oscar Grant?

here's some insight:

from that video, its easy to believe that he thought it was a taser. he looks so surprised at what just happened and looks like he was trying to explain his mistake to the other cop. doesn't look like a hot-headed, abusive cop

any idea what the BART-issued tasers look like. in a panic, could a relatively young officer mistaken a taser for a real gun?

It doesn't really matter, does it?

Pretty sure tasers don't have a pistol grip or a trigger, and pretty sure pistols have a safety trigger. Yeah.
