Graphic Images: SF Police Gun Down Man Skipping Bus Fare — But is There More to the Story?

San Francisco Police Shoot Man for Bus Fare But Wanted for Double Homicide Questioning VideoSan Francisco police shot and killed a 19-year-old man after he fired upon them during a foot chase Saturday. The deceased, a Washington state parolee wanted for questioning in the slaying of a pregnant woman in Seattle last week, was shot while fleeing from police trying to cite him for evading bus fare:

The suspect was shot by police after resisting two uniformed SFPD officers attempting to detain him at around 4:45 p.m. Saturday. The man, whose name has not yet been released, was pronounced dead at 7:01 p.m. after being taken to an area hospital. San Francisco‘s police chief announced Sunday afternoon that investigators had recovered the gun of the man killed in the city’s Bayview neighborhood, hours after the shooting . KTVU reports:

“As documented in a cell phone video of the shooting incident posted on YouTube, a witness to the shooting had retrieved the gun and ran off with it. Investigators tracked down the weapon several hours later.

‘Due to the cooperation of the community, independent witnesses, and the incredible teamwork of the Bayview officers and the gang task force, we recovered the weapon at 10:30 last night,’ Suhr said. ‘God bless the Bayview community members who had the courage to come forward and pretty much tell us the entire story.”’

Suhr later said that SFPD’s relationship with the Bayview community has contributed to a 50 percent reduction in homicides in recent years.

At the scene of the shooting Sunday, protesters surrounded a memorial for the teenager and claimed the shooting was racially motivated.”

A YouTube video helped investigators find the firearm, reports ABC San Francisco:

Police first attempted to cite the man for “Muni” fare evasion. The aunt of the Seattle pregnant teen killed the day after she turned 19 spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle Sunday night:

“It was a freak accident – she was in a wrong place at the wrong time,” Bankston said. The shooter, she said, “had a dispute with someone on the street and he opened fire. She was an innocent girl caught in the cross fire. It’s a sad case, just a sad case.”

    Typical black crowd, trying to make the officers look bad. Someone even grabs the gun and runs off with it, to make it look like an unjustified shooting. I saw the same thing happen here nine years ago. 19 year old black male fired over 40 rounds at the police, and when he was killed, the black community was up in arms. They just killed him cause he’s black. NO, they killed him because he was a crack dealer that got caught. Oh well, one more thug off of the streets.

      Disobeying a direct command from the police and this is the position you put yourself in. The perp escalated his demise by firing his illegal weapon with no regard as to who his ill aimed round would hit. Lead poisoning is the effect of his Godlessness.

      Did I miss the part where of the film where someone in the crowd took the gun? Or was there another film, one prior to this one, that showed someone taking the gun from the suspect.

      I have to admit, that was quiet graphic. It seemed like a really dangerous position to be in for the cops. That mob mentality was in full effect. Luckily no one else got hurt and if the man is guilt, then he’s serving his punishment.

      So much hate in these comments. No remorse for this young man black man who was killed by the police. It is not the first time the police has killed an unarmed black man while you white people sit back and applaud the brutality. Police aggression is not only against black people. A brutal police state is being formed before your very eyes in America while you morons applaud. Same way you white punks applauded when our government sent your sons and daughters in army suits abroad to sacrifice thier lives in vain under a false never ending war on terror while the Military Industrial Complex was enriched and your nation went bankrupt. There is a crisis coming, get ready for austerity measures and a devalued dollar. A brutal police state will be established to control the chaos that will erupt and they will oppress not only black people but white, brown and all the masses. And what a coincidence that the current president of America who is fast acheiving dictatorial powers is BLACK. Is it Karma that a black prez (out of the race that has been oppressed for so long in America) will be used when increasing judgement and punishment is coming on the US. Get ready people for a state of emergency, Obama has appointed 10 governeors that will control 10 regions and answer directly to him in a state of emergency. Your freedoms and constitution will be suspended and the police will have a hay day on all of you. Turn away from hate, love one another and love God and perharps you may be spare

      Thehigherground,
      There is no remorse for a man who shoots a gun at a police officer. We all know what happens next, the police officer shoots back, and if the suspect dies, it’s a result of his own stupidity. There is also no remorse for one who grabs the gun in an attempt to incite racism and make it look like a bad shoot. Thank goodness there were good men and women in that community who helped the police to track down that gun. Those people are the opposite of you. You see this and automatically assume it’s a race thing. They see it and have the courage to stand up and say “No, not in my neighborhood, he’s not one of us, we’re here to help you keep our streets safe.”

      Are you so blinded by Liberal indoctrination that you refuse to recognize the truth that a majority of a certain “community” within this nation will always seek to play the “victim” when they are in fact the “perpetrators” of the most violent crimes imaginable? It is well established that fellow members of their “community” will first seek to discredit law enforcement at every opportunity in an attempt to depict a false “racial bias” by police and second profit by means of lawsuits and propaganda?

      YOU and YOUR kind are the problem repeatedly coddling and making excuses for a defective, criminal gene bearing race that refuses to abide by our nations laws. The police did society a favor by defending themselves and the public by exterminating this CONVICT who would have likely continued his life of crime killing more innocents like the nineteen year old girl he gunned down just days before in Washington state (though she was likely a ghetto product, nothing more than chickenhead bearing another potential welfare recipient).

      There is a difference between being racist and being a realist. Southernguy simply points out what is being shot on the video. If you don‘t want to be known as a stereotype then don’t act like one. Just like the crowd, people commenting assume this is racially motivated because they see a cop (who happens to be white) holding a criminal down at gun point. When the real story is that this guy HAD a gun. If you illegally have a gun and use it or threaten to use it against the police you should get shot. Another P.O.S. off the streets of San Fransisco and people there should be thanking these cops for making their city a little bit safer. We all have now wasted WAY too much time talking or even thinking about some useless murdering thug. Thanks SFPD for saving a lot of money.

      I’m just south of there.

      The local news had better video / zooms / etc.

      The gun fell from the perps hand and landed on the ground – caught on video.

      The gun was then SCOOPED UP by a ‘passer-by‘ or ’bystander’ – also – CAUGHT ON VIDEO.

      They found a gun that LOOKS like the gun from the video, but are now asking the public to come forward if they have information that the gun they found is or is not the gun from this shooting.

      YES, HE FIRED AT THE POLICE.

      COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED.

      By the way – local news makes NO statement as to the race of the perp.

      Race is completely irrelevent.

      You SHOOT A GUN AT A POLICE OFFICER – YOU ARE GONNA GET SHOT!!!
      It don’t matter WHAT color your skin is or what country you are from or what PLANET you are from.

      There were MOBS of protesters here yesterday over this event, so the police chief had to get the video and make public statements to prove it was justified.

      Black people and other special interest groups need to get the chip off their shoulder!!!

      NO POLICE OFFICER DECIDES TO SHOOT OR NOT SHOOT BASED ON SKIN COLOR.
      THAT IS JUST ABSURD!!

      Oh, he shot at me, but I better not shoot back – he is white.
      Oh, he shot at me, and it is okay to shoot back because he is black.

      Yeah, right. They stop and think about that in the 1/8 second before they squeeze the trigger.

      What do the politics of SF have to do with ANY of this? A guy with a gun does not respond to police commands, he shoots at the police, they shoot back and kill him. It can and does happen in every city in the country every day.
      Is your hatred of liberals, everything they do, and every city they live in so deep that you can’t see any part of this story except that it took place in SF? Why is that relevant to anything? Are you so blind that you can’t read any story without putting some sort of dark,conspiracy theory behind anything related to a point of view that is not your own? This is a straight crime story that has NOTHING to do with SF or its liberal politics. You hate liberals so much that you are blind to seeing any story in any terms other than the political ideologies. Try to look at a story for what it is, not the evil conspiracy behind the story and the politics. Not everything is about liberal vs. conservative.
      What I saw (and have read in the local media) is a pretty routine story. Perp fires on police, they fire back. Where are the politics in that scenario? I live in SF, am registered socialist (Democratic Socialist party), and have little to no respect for the police. It seems to me the police did the right thing. It will be investigated and unless there is more to the story than we have heard, that will be the end of it.

You see, most of what you say about the cops might be partially true, but becasue you refuse to see the truth about the killer with the gun, who got what he deserved, you come across as part of the problem, part of the crowd, someone who would take the gun and hide it, a criminal, a supporter of the mob, a killer yourself…You may not be, but you dont sound like someone interested in justice unless it helps you or your people…and that aint justice.

    It’s sad, to say the least, but if you plan on shooting at people or cops, you better plan on getting shot yourself. Of course the crowd, with no clue as to what had transpired before this kid went down, had to start hounding the cops right away….as if they just wanted to shoot someone for the heck of it. For once a cell phone video came in handy for more than taping a Denny’s brawl.

    Regardless of why and how he got shot, the crowd is the problem. If they would have shut up and stayed calm maybe the cops could have called in an ambulance faster with the scene of the crime secured, but the crowd made that impossible, they are also responsible for his lack of assistance and therefore his death .

      I agree, more than likely the guy that took off with the gun was black as well and doing it to try and make the cops look guilty. He is guilty of several violations and I would include charging him with attempting to frame a police officer.

      Why are they interjecting this information AFTER the fact that they just gunned the man down?

      Why do the police have a habit of trying to demean the person they abuse/kill when the public sees it as wrongful?

    Listen, if as the story here indicates, the man shot first at the police while they attempted to issue him a citation of non payment of busfare, then the police have the right to respond in self defense. That does not make this racially motivated at all.

      Sorry but, they are the only ones claiming he shot first. Also if he did shot first where is the bullet and the spent casing? I’m sorry I feel this way, but I don’t trust a uniformed patrol officer as I have in the past. My mother and grandfather were Police Officer’s and I was a U.S. Marine, many friends are Police officers and they are the first to say there is a ‘large’ amount of corruption in the police force today.

      Yeah OK…I’m sure it would be worth it to those cops to go through all the IA investigations, taken off duty till investigations are done, putting their pensions on the line, not to mention losing their homes to law suits that criminals are now allowed to sue you personally…just to get in a good shot for the fun of it. Yeah sure.

      I’ve been trying to find fault with your post, but can’t. Only approximately 34-37% of the officers are still doing the proper jobs. If you aren’t a yes man, no promotion for you. The crap rolls down hill and fewer deserving Americans join the force. Totally opposite of 40 years ago. Preventing crime is no longer the goals. Collecting statistics that can be twisted is the norm.

      @constitutionalpatriot,
      Sure, corruption is a problem in the law enforcement community, but it’s not as prevalent as you claim. Only in Hollywood movies. In reality, 99% of police officers are dedicated to the job and are worthy of your trust. This officer would not have fired his gun at the man, in broad daylight, in the middle of a black urban community unless he had good reason. Then, to spend the next weeks and months of his life defending his actions, suffering through IA investigations, political monkey-business, pain and suffering inflicted on his family from the media, and the risk of losing his job and retirement. That’s much more trouble than it’s worth. The BART guy who accidently shot his pistol instead of his tazer is another story, that’s a terrible mistake that left a man dead, but wasn’t racially motivated. Neither was this. The man had a gun and shot at the officers, then another criminal grabbed the gun and tried to turn it into a political nightmare. Thank goodness the community stood up to help the police recover that gun. Next, they will match the ballistics and fingerprints on that gun to the dead man and the case will be closed.
