I believe he actually changes the lyrics, depending on the album. (I have a few albums, but I'm too lazy to verify)

the better sounding version from the self-titled album says april 26th, but the back of the cd says 29th.

in another version of the song (more upbeat sounding, but not as good IMO) i'm pretty sure he says 29th

I figured this thread has the same theme so I'll just post this here:

Cop found not guilty of murder
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011709224_copshooting27m.html

Take note of the fact said driver never pulled a gun out, in fact he was fumbling with his keys, all he did was try to start the car and got shot 7 times.

EVERETT — Everett police Officer Troy Meade was found not guilty Monday of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a drunken man in a car last summer.

The Snohomish County jury had been deliberating since Friday afternoon before reaching the verdict, which was announced Monday afternoon.

The jury will now decide whether Meade should receive restitution. In order to do so, the jury must find that Meade acted in self-defense when he shot Niles Meservey. The restitution would pay for his attorney's fees.

The jury couldn't reach a decision on restitution on Monday afternoon and were sent home. They will resume weighing the issue Tuesday morning.

After the verdict, Meade said he appreciated the support he received from friends, family and fellow officers.

"I'm going back to work," he said.

"We're very happy, very grateful and very thankful the jury reached the right verdict," said defense attorney David Allen.

"I am sorry the jury was unable to convict Officer Meade of a crime, but I understand how difficult it is to obtain a conviction where there is a presumption of innocence and a burden of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt," said Tanda Louden, daughter of Meservey, in a statement. "Nevertheless, I am confident that a jury in a civil case will find Officer Meade responsible and hold him fully accountable in the damage case."

The Meservey family filed a wrongful-death claim against the City of Everett in February, accusing Meade of using excessive force.

Meade, 41, shot Meservey as he sat in his Chevrolet Corvette in the parking lot of the Chuckwagon Inn in Everett on the night of June 10. Meade was responding to a 911 call alerting police that an apparently drunken Meservey was trying to drive away from the restaurant when the shooting happened.

Meade testified last week that Meservey ignored several orders to get out of the car. He also said he feared for his life before he fired eight times into the car.

Meservey, 51, was shot seven times and died at the scene.

When Meade walked up to the Corvette in the parking lot, the vehicle's alarm was going off and the officer could see the driver fumbling for his keys, he testified last week. Meservey turned on the ignition, partially rolled down his window and swore at the officer, saying over and over again that "this is [expletive] entrapment," Meade testified.

Meade said he tried to persuade Meservey to get out of the car and take a taxi home, and Meservey cut the engine. But then, Meservey started the car again and reached for the gearshift — and Meade fired his Taser, he testified. The probes hit Meservey's left shoulder but failed to cause him to stiffen, Meade said.

"He was in pain from the charge, but he was still lunging for the gearshift," Meade told the jury. "I realized he was going to get that car in gear."

Meade testified that he was standing to the left and rear of the Corvette when he fired.

Meade said the window of Meservey's Corvette wasn't rolled down low enough, and the quarters were too tight, for him to use his baton. He also testified that he wasn't carrying pepper spray, noting that the Everett Police Department requires officers to carry Tasers and either a baton or pepper spray, but not both.

After the shooting, Meservey's blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.26, more than three times the state's legal limit.

Meade also testified that he was cognizant of a similar incident in 2006, when he witnessed another officer get hit and injured by a car driven by a domestic-violence suspect who was attempting to flee. Meade also fired in that incident but didn't hit the driver, he said.

Snohomish County Deputy Prosecutor John Adcock grilled Meade on cross-examination about other tactical options open to him, accusing Meade of using deadly force when he could have instead taken two steps back and used a nearby sport-utility vehicle for cover.

Everett police Officer Steven Klocker, who was also at the scene that night, testified he was "kind of at a loss" when Meade opened fire. "I was wondering what I missed to bring it to that extreme level of force," Klocker testified.

Klocker said he believed he and Meade still had nonlethal options available, including reusing the Taser, applying a baton or stepping back and reassessing the situation.

Meade, who joined the Everett department in 1998, has been on paid administrative leave.

Prosecutors initially filed the lesser charge of manslaughter in October, accusing Meade of recklessly shooting Meservey, 51. In March, prosecutors added the new charge of second-degree murder. In order to prove the new charge, prosecutors were required to convince the jury that Meade acted with intent to kill.

Jurors had the option of convicting Meade of one or both criminal counts, or acquitting him.
