Officer resigns after BART shooting

The officer who shot unarmed Oscar Grant in the early morning hours of New Year's Day has resigned in the most cowardly way possible. He has already refused to speak to either BART investigators or the District Attorney's office, and now, instead of attending a meeting with Internal Affairs at which he would have to answer questions, he instead sent his attorney with a letter of resignation, effective immediately, to the meeting.

If he's not guilty of executing Oscar Grant, I can think of no good reason for his actions. Most people who accidentally shot and killed another person would cooperate with investigators. Police officers who accidentally shoot and kill people are especially protected from the effects of their actions, since when they do it, they don't immediately go to jail the way the rest of us do, and they're trained for this sort of thing. So for him to not only refuse to cooperate with the investigation, but to also quit his job so that he can not be compelled to talk to Internal Affairs strikes me as not only cowardly, but guilty. At the very least, he seems to be hiding something, and that's not exactly the actions of a man who made an honest mistake. I'm just sayin'.
