“They had him in cuffs, and they shot him. Twice!”-Witness

On 18 July 2012, San Francisco police shot a man in front of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.  At least half a dozen witnesses say the victim was already restrained.

Two videos have been uploaded to YouTube.  In one video a witness says the cop who did the shooting was a woman.  In both videos witness after witness says the victim was already handcuffed when the female cop shoots him directly in the chest!

Police claim the man was armed with a knife and had attacked people earlier in the day.  They also claim the man attacked the female cop.

The problem is that most witnesses say they saw the man in cuffs first, then heard gun shots after they passed by the scene.

The man who posted the video asked police point blank why they did it, and got no response.  At one point he says “You shot a man dead, in cuffs, and you’re smiling?”

Interestingly, the police make no attempt to stop the camera man’s verbal assaults against them, he even called them NAZI pigs, which I was sure would result in him getting a beating from police.

According to media reports out of San Francisco, police say the incident happened at the intersection of Washington and Drumm streets. However, the San Francisco Fire Department reported the incident has taking place at Pier 17.

Police say the man stabbed a fellow employee, at the TCHO Chocolate Factory on the Embarcadero, for unknown reasons.  At last update the man was in critical condition.
