I doubt his brains would have been blown out without the assault towel. as I said, this happened because of a towel, and some scarey foot work. It takes some fancy reasoning to turn that into a justified kill. Walking agressively isnt a crime, carrying a towel isnt a crime, Failing to Drop the gun that you dont have isnt a crime but you put those things together with some lax use of force law and some good PR and you got a dead guy with his brains blown out over a towel.

So he was walking agressively with a towel... And he was killed.... got his brains blown out, over a towel.. And I should feel bad about saying that PR will insure nothing happens? to me atleast, this is just as fucked up as it was before the PR release. a guy got his brains blown out over a towel. You got it man, he was shot for carrying a towel. What is fucked up is your total lack of any reasoning. I doubt his brains would have been blown out without the assault towel. as I said, this happened because of a towel, and some scarey foot work.

Shit happens... Have you ever had a nice long civil conversation with someone who committed a crime with the specific intent of causing you to show up, so that you would be forced to kill that person? Who desperately desired that you be forced into a gunfight over the matter? It's a hell of a thing. Until you've been there, I don't think you know what you're talking about. |

Experiment time.
Take your hand, point your finger like you are going to go "bang" with your finger and cover it with a small cloth. Now put your unloaded small hand gun (S&W Shield for example) in your hand and cover it and your hand with a small cloth. From the side I don't think anyone more than 10' away could tell one from the other. From the front, same thing. Now pose like you are in an isosceles hold and point your covered hand at someone. Could someone more than a few feet away really tell the difference? |

Family Calling For Justice 1 Week After Unarmed Man Is Shot By Police In Los Feliz
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The family of an East Los Angeles man shot in the head by Los Angeles police is speaking out and calling for justice.
“I cannot put into words,” said Walter William DeLeon’s sister, Yovanna DeLeon. She could barely talk about her brother as she sat next to her sobbing mother in their apartment on Friday night. DeLeon, a father of two, remains in critical condition after last Friday’s shooting in Los Feliz by LAPD officer Cairo Palacios, a nine-year law enforcement veteran with the LAPD since 2013. DeLeon’s family says he was out on a walk. View Quote Family members, perplexed over the police account that DeLeon had somehow provoked his own death, say that on the day he was shot, DeLeon had gone out for a walk in Griffith Park, where he liked to exercise, often carrying a towel to wipe away perspiration.
View Quote No charges have been filed in the case, but investigations are underway. View Quote http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2015/06/26/family-calling-for-justice-after-unarmed-man-is-shot-by-police-in-los-feliz/ |

LAPD identifies officer who shot unarmed man in Los Feliz
The LAPD identified Cairo Palacios as the officer who shot Walter William DeLeon, 48, along Los Feliz Boulevard. View Quote An attorney representing Palacios said his client thought DeLeon had a gun and was going to shoot the officers, saying there were no indications DeLeon was trying to get their help. Attorney Gary Fullerton acknowledged it can be difficult for the public to grapple with police shootings of unarmed people, but said officers have the right to protect their own lives. View Quote "The officer, when he went up to handcuff the man, was shocked to find just the cloth there and nothing under the cloth," Fullerton said. "It's unfortunate, but you can't expect officers to be clairvoyant and wait until they get shot at to actually know what this person is doing or thinking." View Quote So shoot them first. But, he added, the officers "were obviously traumatized by what happened because nobody likes shooting what ends up being an unarmed man." View Quote So, should we hold a fundraiser or do a 5k for traumatized officers? http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-lapd-officer-los-feliz-20150626-story.html |

Before you yell, "DropTheGun!" You better know what the fuck you're talking about.
On the cop's side- My partner just introduced a gun into the equation. I have 1.5 seconds (make up a number, you hardasses.) To shoot or not shoot. On the citizens side (yeah, I said citizen) He has 1.3 seconds to realize that he is talkin' about his T-shirt, not the gun he doesn't have. POW! POW! POW! Fault? I can't assign any. Wait, yes I can. "Drop the gun!" when there was no gun puts the dept. and that officer specifically, in the wrong. Pay the vegetable and his family and stay the fuck away from me on any subsequent calls. A good man can make a bad call. Doesn't make it any less of a bad call. |

If I was in law enforcement, I'd seriously think about a career change. This shit isn't going to last, sooner or later the average Joe is going to want to stomp the JBT, and when that day happens it will be like the French Revolution. Wishful thinking. The Average Joe has too much to lose. Like having FedDC bulldoze your house and family. |

They're doing it again - putting out the lie and inventing a false symbol. Towel = skittles and tea. Don't fall for the bullshit again. They do this same shit every time in a well planned and timed manner to falsely form first impressions and thoughts in peoples minds. Just to be clear, which "they" shouldn't we believe? The LAPD that was the source in the original article, the shot guy's family that hasn't really said much, or the the officers' attorneys? The "victims" family and their attorney. It's the same scripted playbook over and over again that's why you know it's false. So the "Towel" isn't actually true? "This person extended an arm wrapped in a towel. The officer exited the vehicle and said, 'Drop the gun, drop the gun'" All part of the playbook Actually it is. Make you focus on an inanimate object instead of what the perp was actually doing. Advancing aggressively on police who have drawn Their weapons, with your clasped outstretched hands that are covered will get you shot. But no. The playbook is to repeat the lie that he was shot because he had a towel. |

I also know not to believe any of the initial information no matter where it comes from. Because now that statement is their skittles and tea. Whenever somebody says no justice no peace I know they are full of shit. It's a good way to sniff it out. Or we just want justice. Anytime you hear that bullshit alarms should be going off. |
