A woman leaves a sign at a make-shift memorial for Oscar Grant after the sentencing of former Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer Johannes Mehserle in Oakland, Calif., Friday, Oct. 5, 2010. Mehserle claimed he had thought he had drawn his Taser rather than his gun when he shot Grant at a BART station on Jan. 1, 2009. Lawmakers approved a bill on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, by Assemblyman Tom Lackey, R-Palmdale, that would require officers to carry their primary weapon and Taser on opposite sides of their bodies to deter confusion.
