I watched the video of the incident. I re-watched it. What impressed me was how quiet and cooperative the seated arrestees on each side of Mr. Grant were. They were able to see the sun rise the next morning.

Yup. And the officers jump back in shock.

And Grant was in the middle, kicking and thrashing around.

It is obvious that the officer was expecting the object in his hand to make the ‘tak-tak-tak’ sound of a Taser when he pulled the trigger, not the bang he got. Shock is what I saw in his expression, and unless he is an Oscar nominee for best actor, I am going with the theory he thought it was his Taser.

The jury got it right. And the ‘victim’ was harassing passengers, and acting like a hooligan. Grant placed himself in that position. Mehserle is going to pay for his mistake. Sad all the way around.

AG Holder needs to butt out.
