Just happened.
ETA: A graphic video posted online Sunday shows Los Angeles Police Department officers shooting a homeless man during a dramatic struggle. The video begins with a cluster of officers, seven in total, fighting with the man on the sidewalk. Two squad cars can be seen in the camera’s view and the area of town appears to be a central hub for the homeless. Tarps line the street and other people are milling around in the background of the scene. As the officers are struggling with the man, a woman is seen holding a stick or a rod to square up to swing it. At that point, two officers move towards her and throw her on the ground and handcuff her. As an officer and the man go to the ground, the officer yells to another, “give me my stick.” But the struggle continues and the officer can be heard saying several times, “he’s going for my gun.” Five shots ring out as the officers back away and hold their weapons on the motionless man. It is unclear if the same officer fired all of the shots or if other officers began firing after the initial shot. After the shooting, a crowd gathered behind the cameraman grows agitated. “Y’all guys killed that man,” the man filming the incident is heard saying. The video was uploaded to Facebook by a man named Anthony Blackburn. The caption on the entry is “Homeless man just killed by police minutes ago downtown L.A.” http://dailycaller.com/2015/03/01/extremely-graphic-video-emerges-of-lapd-shooting-homeless-man-video/ |

I hate you. |

Well, if he was going for the cops gun, the cops had to get it on.

The reaction of the 5-6 other cops holding the guy when one starts mag dumping into him is always interesting.

Holy fuck |

That's a lot easier than having to struggle to get the cuffs on him.

You sir are really doing a 10/10 job on the "IN" thing lately... |

OP, what kind of reaction were you expecting? It's a regular day in a 3RD World city in a 3RD World country formerly known as the United States of America.

I fail to see how that is so funny. Grow up. You fail at a lot of things. Your .gov shilling is pretty sickening. Your feigned indignation is hilarious, however. |

I hear one officer yelling "drop the gun". Since only 5 rounds were fired so I think it was only one officer shooting, the rest of the officers didn't "go cyclic".

Obamas fault first and foremost
Guy was guilty of being homeless should of known he had no rights. Should of not pulled out that Heckler & Koch HK417 with Schmidt & Bender PMII 3-20x50 also he shouldn't have resisted and should of let them beat him within an inch of his life. Guilty cops got rights too! |
