Didn't watch this video but living in the Bay Area I have seen others.

Very distrubing based upon whats shown on the clips. Can only guess the young man had his hands in his pockets or something that made the officer feel his life or anothers was threatened. Both officers did get up and back away for some reason just before the shooting. Hopefully (for the shooters sake) there is more video available from platform security cameras that clarifies the threat....?

The officers involved were BART Police (bay area rapid transit).

BART has handled the incident VERY poorly so far.
