Re: BART officer arrested on murder warrant in NY Day shooting

So why does someone who gets so easily angry and frustrated have a job like that, and carry a loaded gun?

We don't know that he naturally is prone to anger or frustration.

From what I understand his wife had just given birth a few day before the incident. Maybe he hadn't gotten any sleep over the past days. Maybe he had trouble dealing with the fact that he's now a father.

Bay Area police departments are on a roll:

11 Oakland officers fired for false warrants
Thursday, January 15, 2009 | 5:55 PM

The Oakland Police Department notified 11 officers, including two sergeants, Thursday that they will be fired for their involvement in the falsification of search warrants.

The firings come after an internal police department investigation that found the officers had knowledge that information in their warrant affidavits was false.

"These terminations are difficult for the city, but they show that honesty and integrity are non-negotiable for officers in the Oakland Police Department," City Attorney John Russo said in a press release.
