You should move to the right lane, where the rule of vehicle and traffic law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and the left lane is the land of wolves now.

Good Shoot.
Anytime a homeless squatter is sent home to the promised land, it is a "Good Shoot". I hope the CHP gives that guy a promotion. |

View Quote I personally don't have a problem with a cop shooting a dirtbag who is fighting with him. Key to my post is that I was not saying good shoot or bad shoot, only the fact that, if it was not a cop who fired all the additional shots after the first connecting shot, we'd sure as hell be charged. Guy in VT several years ago got convicted of murder for firing a second shot with a 30-06 rifle into a Masshole who attacked him with an axe over a drug deal. Shooter was not initially charged, then Masshole family with some money/pull forced a trial. I was surprised and disappointed when shooter got convicted for it. |

The first discharge was accidental, due to the struggle and subsequent clumsy draw. Not the officer’s fault. I believe he fired 4 shots at the perp, not 5. Play stupid games…. |

Good shoot. Active fight for the officers taser. First round went wide, officer corrected and finished the fight. Like anyone here would have done if they were being attacked. You don’t stop until it they are down simple.
And anchor shots are slow methodical shots after the action is over not as part of the “oh shit it’s on” initial stream of rounds |

I'm sure nothing of value was lost.

KTLA is reporting the man had a taser and attempted to use it on the officer. Good shoot. Since it happened in the Watts area, all the city officials are worried and calling for calm.

He was alive and kicking in 1984, when I met him. The news reported that the guy had a taser. I'm guessing it was the officer's. |

Sounds like the guy had taken the cop's taser and used it on him. Good way to get your gun taken and killed.

Surprise surprise
Aspiring actor, 33, shot dead by California highway patrol officer during brawl on 105 Freeway - as it's revealed he was homeless after mental health breakdown ![]() The family of an aspiring actor shot and killed by California highway patrol are demanding answers after video showed the 33-year-old being shot on three times while lying on the ground. Jesse Dominguez died on Sunday after police were called to reports of a man wandering erratically along 105 Freeway in the Los Angeles district of Watts. Dominguez was staying at a shelter near the road. Video of the incident shows Dominguez tussling with the highway patrol officer on the ground. Dominguez carried a Taser for his own safety inside the homeless shelter, his family told The Los Angeles Times. The two men wrestle on the ground, and the officer then draws his gun and shoots Dominguez dead. ![]() Dominguez's family said his killing was unjustified, describing it as pure 'police brutality'. 'I've pretty much 'backed the blue' in a lot of circumstances,' said Akasha Dominguez, his stepmother. 'There have been issues where police used excessive force. But I've never been on the other end. 'Now I have a completely different stance. This is absolutely police brutality.' She said she found it obvious that her stepson was mentally ill, or suffering some sort of breakdown. 'I don't know why the officer thought to engage,' she said. 'If someone is walking on the freeway, something is not right. They're either in mental health crisis or something else is happening. 'He was not trying to hurt anybody. Why did he have to use that type of force? After [the officer] had already discharged his firearm once, why did he stand up and then do it again and again and again?' His sister, Michele Dominguez, agreed that the response was excessive. 'I don't know when using deadly force became the first thing cops do in this situation,' she said. Continued |

Looks like a FAFO situation.
Without seeing more to the situation... I'll tentatively say "reasonable shoot." But just barely. |

If the first shot was reasonable, they all are. If the perp deserves to die, they still deserve it after 3 shots or 12. Whatever. |

And they say CHP stands for can't handle patrol.
Good shoot and f that family for allowing a family member to wonder the streets of LA. Sooner or later your going to die on the streets. The bums I've observed while working downtown San Diego beat the s*** out of one another and steal each other's stuff. That family should thank that officer. |

That family should thank that officer. View Quote Clearly you've never had a family member with mental or drug addiction issues. A person's rights to freedom basically prevent parents or siblings from saving family members dealing with mental illness. You can't commit them, force them to seek help, etc., etc. No argument that families and friends need to engage on mental illness, but engagement alone won't work if the \person doesn't want help. Mental illness is a huge problem in this country. Shooting these victims in the street isn't the answer, any more than stronger gun laws are. That said, every officer deserves to go home and they certainly aren't response for mental illness reform. |

Cops seem to constantly doing shifty and awful things lately.
This is not one of those times, psycho homeless doing head impacts and grabbing the officers taser with no one else around, he could have dropped his cruiser on him for all I care. Dude should get a medal. Mag dump away. |

Typically I would say good shoot. Any fight with an armed individual is a potentially life threatening fight.
That being said, how would CA LE treat an armed citizen in the exact same situation? So fuck him. Let him go from cop to convict. |
