The officers were armed with stun guns as well as sidearms. Three BART officers then proceed to place Grant face down to handcuff him, then one of them stands up, draws his weapon and shoots him in the back. <a href="http://www.ktvu.com/video/18409133/index.html">Graphic video of the incident</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2009:site.77981 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:23:37 -0800 bart brownshirts deathbycop execution murder oscargrant policebrutality policestate subway wtf Mr_Zero
