Then it's time to claim that after two years on the job and the obvious weight difference between them in your hand, you mistook a gun for a taser.]]>Jan 31st 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/
Let me end by saying, I doubt you have any concept of police procedure, use of force, or the law...and a video doesn't tell it all...so I say, offer this officer the benefit of the doubt before you judge him. He is entitled to it in my mind.]]>Jan 31st 2009 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/Jan 31st 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/
Nice attempt to play on my emotions by involving fictitious offspring.

Two can play at that game. How would you feel if your daughter was shot by a police officer while laying flat on the ground with no weapon?

Police do not deserve any more benefit of the doubt than an average citizen. There are plenty of other people who put their lives in danger on a daily basis. Police officers do not have a monopoly on risking their lives for other people.

If I shot someone and then claimed that I thought my fully-loaded (policy in most PD's is to carry your weapon fully-loaded) pistol was a taser... I would be laughed out of the courtroom. This man deserves no better.]]>Jan 31st 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/
I have never, EVER, seen more irrefutable proof of police brutality.

Thank God KTVU aired the ENTIRE thing.

either this PIG COP MUTHERF> was too stupid to realize he pulled his gun and not that lighter, yellower taser...or he was trying to impress his PORK buddies by killing someone.

He is a MURDERER and I hope he never has any peace until his dying breath. In fact, I hope he KILLS HIMSELF cleaning his gun in an act of suicide.]]>Feb 1st 2009 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/Jan 31st 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/Jan 31st 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/wifi-rail-finalizes-20-year-deal-to-bring-internet-to-bart-train/

Boston has been rolling this out across its commuter rail system for about a year. Not in every car, but not everyone needs wireless internet.
