It shows a male BART police officer walking over to three men lined up against a wall near a female officer, and then striking one in the face.

Making no judgments here ... but what led to these guys being lined up in the first place? Were they selected at random, or were they misbehaving?

There was one or more telephone reports of a fight on a BART train, no BART police witnessed the "fight". The train was stopped at the Fruitvale station and held long enough for the next train to arrive and be blocked by the first train. After this, things get sketchy.

There is no information on how BART police identified the men they removed from the first train, or probable cause. Very difficult situation.

Police are not supposed to hit people lined up against a wall offering no resistance...get rid of the rotten apples before they destroy law enforcement’s reputation.
