San Francisco Cops Gun Down Man in Wheelchair

Apparently the guy had a knife - but he was in a damned wheelchair!  Watch it for yourself:



One account claims the first shot was a bean bag round fired from a shotgun. That apparently set off a second cop who shot the man with a live round from his hand gun.

All police are thugs...

It is sad when I have to teach my children never to trust any person in uniform...

Turns out the guy had stabbed a cop earlier. Still excessive force though.
