Reply #40: I live here. Excessive stupid. The BART Board is heading for the unemployment line.

Another royal fuck-up by BART police.
It was the standard 'run his head into the wall".

The guy was drunk and disorderly on a BART train,
too plowed to pose any threat to the officer.
The officer seemed to have no difficulty handling him.

Just remove him from the train without injuring anyone,
arrest him for drunk and disorderly, which would be correct,
instead of all the crap charges.

This officer should get sick leave, then a 3 month suspension without pay,
plus pay for injuries he inflicted with this excessive force.
If he has another incident on his record - then hit the
unemployment line and blacklist him for LE.

The suspect should (will) be released with minor charges.

They need to quit hiring vets just back from iraq,
and whack jobs who don't seem to get that this isn't
a video game.
