What has happened to our police?

2009. Oakland, CA: Transit officer Johannes Mehserle executes unarmed man, shooting him in the back while he's laying face down on the ground. Bullet bounces back off the concrete and shreds Oscar Grant's lungs. Grant is turned over and with hands up begs "I have a young child, please don't kill me." The demonic officer becomes enraged at his prey and starts yelling and screaming at the dying man. Police confiscate cell phone videos, thinking they had all the evidence rounded up, they tell the public there were no videos of the incident. Since then three separate videos of the incident have come out, including the official BART surveillance camera footage. This is not only a case against Johannes Mehserle but the entire transit authority police. Instead of voicing outrage and sympathy police around the nation are making excuses for the murderer.
