Ex-BART Cop Arrested, Charged with Murder

Gotta say this is a good thing:

The Alameda County District Attorney's Office said it filed murder charges against a former Bay Area transit officer in the shooting death of an unarmed black man.

District Attorney Tom Orloff said the murder charge was filed against 27-year-old Johannes Mehserle because the evidence indicates "an unlawful killing done by an intentional act" and that there was no evidence available yet that could "mitigate" that.

Oakland police said Wednesday that Mehserle was arrested in Douglas County, Nevada on Tuesday in connection with the shooting of Oscar Grant III at the Fruitvale BART station in Oakland on Jan. 1.

As I've said before, this wasn't an accident, it was an execution. Let's hope justice prevails.

This is disturbing. It's even more disturbing than the previous video.

It's hard to know what this cop was thinking...

Wow... The worst part about this is that it's no mistake like Amado Diallo or Sean Bell. This was an execution. I think it's a little early to call America postracial after Obama's election:
