LA Cop Shoots And Kills Unarmed Homeless Man As Crowd Looks On And Records


There is a very disturbing NSFW video of a police-action shooting in Los Angeles where one police officer is captured on video shooting an unarmed homeless man at least four times, killing him. The man is clearly resisting the arrest, but there are about a half dozen police officers present for the arrest. The officers have the man penned down on the ground when the shooting occurs. It's unclear why the officers didn't use a taser instead of a firearm to subdue him. The victim is black, and some of the bystanders are blaming a black police officer for the shooting, although it's not clear which officer's gun fired the shots as other white officers present appear to have their guns drawn as well. You will see in the video people calling out the officer who shot him later in the video.

We're at the point where cops should not be carrying guns, and every citizen should be able to drawn when a cop shows up to ensure that the cop doesn't break the law.

The story I read on this incident is the perp resisted arrest and allegedly went for an officers gun. That's like asking for it with justification, and the officers obliged. If the story is true. Regardless, it's evident to all he was resisting arrest and we all know it can only go downhill from there.
