i know it's a bond... which is normally about 10% of what the bail is set at.. so let me rephrase that.. how the hell do you make a $300,000 bond on a transit cops salary? He's dirty i tell ya..


If i had to guess i'd say his union might back a bond for cops on trial, i don't know I am just guessing.

Saw the footage. It's clear the "maybe he thought he grabbed his taser" BS is just the press trying to create more of a story through speculation. The guy pulls out a weapon which has a pistol grip and trigger (unlike a taser), has to turn off the safety, **** it and then fire it. There's about a 10 second space of time between his removing the gun from the holster and the shot being fired. "Oops I didn't notice" isn't even worth saying, which is why the officer is now just exercising his 5th amendment.

Obviously the 4 cops were out numbered and out gunned by the unarmed kid.
We don't have those kind of rules here, but can't you put up real estate as a bond?

The kid and 4 friends were detained by officers, it doesn't say how many cops there were.. Another link?

But over the last 5 years, there has been a rise in killing of people apprehended by police, by use of excessive force with a weapon. IMHO, I think its because they really relaxed the hiring rules for officers. Back in the day all cops were huge dudes, who just intimidated you with their presence. Now a lot of them are smaller, and immediately they all for reach their deadliest weapons, first.. Get rid of hiring quotas and put standards back in place.
