San Francisco police shoot a teenager 10 times over a bus transfer.

There's a video at that link and some graphic pictures. The police response has been typical—apparently the 19-year-old kid was a "vicious criminal" and had a gun that is now nowhere to be found—but the citizen journalism has been commendable. There were a number of witnesses who are all contracting the police version of the story, and you can clearly see on the video that the cops were determined to make sure that no one had a chance to save the kid's life.

“As the state has removed any illusion that it exists to serve or protect people, we can see clearly that it exists only to push us into prisons and to shoot us in cold blood. Two single dollars are worth more to them than our lives. The very existence of the police clearly endangers all of us,” concluded an anonymous writer on Indybay.

Of course, they'll get away with it. They always do. Failing to produce a $2 transfer is a capital offense; a summary execution in broad daylight is just business as usual.
