SF police at its worst. Thanks god for camera phones.

"A second gunshot wound entered the right side of Harding’s neck and the bullet remained in his head. This bullet was removed and released to the San Francisco Police Department Crime Lab. Medical Examiner’s staff also found a second, unfired cartridge (.380 caliber) in Harding’s right jacket pocket. This cartridge was also released to the SFPD Crime Lab.

The San Francisco Police Crime Lab conducted analysis on the bullet recovered from Mr. Harding’s head. It was determined that this bullet was of caliber .380/9mm and shared similar characteristics with the unfired cartridge located in Harding’s jacket pocket. San Francisco Police Officer’s are equipped with .40 caliber handguns. The bullet that was recovered from Mr. Harding’s head could not have been fired by police officers. "

He was a murder suspect who evaded and shot at the police. Let's not go overboard here.

"The presence of gunshot residue on Harding’s right hand supports statements from witnesses that Harding held the gun in his right hand as he fired at the police officers."

They shot the man and just let the man lie dying loosing blood after that. No help. Not allowing others to help. The first official version - he was armed, we just can't find the gun. The second official version even better - he shot himself.
