Default Re: YouTube video fuels US riots over killing of Oscar Grant

The riots are a natural fear response to an event that shows the 'common man' just how vulnerable and fragile a hold he has on this mortal coil, and how reckless those that are charged with his saftey are to the value of his life and continued welfare.

As for the drawing of the pistol and the trunk shot. I watch again and again that video, and some thing I would want to know - was this guy a former security officer who was taser armed only? as the trunk shot is an automatic hit area for saftey reasons.

I actually think the guy zoned out, went to a pattern of behavior he felt safe with, and in his mind drew and deployed a taser and not his service weapon.

What ever happens though, he will do serious time in jail for it. 10 years minimum. If he doesn't, the riots now will look like play time compared to what will happen if he walks free.
