Outrageous!
In 2013, The entire British police force fired their weapons THREE times. No one died. Unarmed men with 6 police on top do not need need to be killed FFS.- IF YOU FIGHT WITH COPS, YOU DESERVE TO DIE, Amirite?? anyone, please validate meeee, pleezGeorgesII
- its true, american police are insane. at no point in that vid did he ever show a sign he needed to be shot...cruddlebub
- let alone 5 fucking times! cuntscruddlebub
- comon cruddle, he dared a cop, for the love of GOD, HE DARED A COP, he deserved to die BECAUSE he dared a cop, dared, copGeorgesII
- Shows how fuckn disconnected from human empathy some "rational" muricans are. the justifications, can't believe I read someone said, he attacked the cops so he deserved to die, wtf man, sickeningGeorgesII
- someone said, he attacked the cops so he deserved to die, wtf man, truly sickeningGeorgesII
- < Clearly in line with their gun culture. If you step on my lawn, it's mah raght to shoot you.ORAZAL
- < totally Georges - like the whole point is missed by some people - the idea of being shot in the UK forfadein11
- assaulting a police officer would be ludicrous. there would be 100s of deaths every wknd at bar closing time. American has or is seriously losing its way,fadein11
- seriously losing its grip on reality. value of human life is low on the list of priorities nowfadein11
- So true.monospaced

You can't handle the truth!
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives- I think their crime was they were getting to bell air for their status. thats a big mansion they tried to build there.yurimon

In all likelihood he probably suffered from mental health issues, or an addiction which is why he was homeless in the first place. Clearly making rational decisions would be a challenge for someone in that mental state. How 5-6 officers couldn't prevent the situation from escalating shows that they handled him exactly as they were trained, but I'm sure there will be a huge effort to punish the individual cops. All the while some new rookie cop is being training to take down a person exactly as they've done.
- 5 cops with a guy with only 4 limbs, I don't know if fist punching is good training to try to subdue a person.yurimon
- Even if he rationalized the decision it wouldn't mean that the outcome would be acceptable.cannonball1978

"The average salary for a Police Officer is $47,829 per year."
Not sure where this idea that they get paid nothing is coming from. The chief in my small college town (20k people) made $250k, ex gf made close to $100k.
Most make little, but that's their choice, so hardly an excuse. I agree, many, especially in LA, probably join for the power rush. That's fine, I sure don't want to do it, but that doesn't excuse excessive violence and this pat a bro on the back and look the other way mentality.
There's just no excuse for immature and selfish behavior (as exemplified by the NY disrespect and comments for the department).If you can't control a single man with 5-6 officers, you are incompetent and inept. You should not have a job anyway. Firing several times should put you in jail. The only excuse I could see if the guy was actually shooting, but having a gun (or not), is NOT a reason to kill someone.
Glad I don't live in LA anymore!

Police kills ~400 people every year in the USA.
Saw this info in the news this morning.
- benfal990
someone said
"They told him to leave and he continued to resist. They tried to move him by force and he continued to resist. They tazed him and he continued to resist. He then proceeded to take the cop's gun. At that point he was no longer unarmed. The shooting is 100% justified."

Did we watch the same video??5 cops against a manlet, can't even keep it under control,
400 people shot by police, when reported,
and 10 years ago it was their word against people, but now you have the video, can you show me where he goes for the gun,at the end of the day, just sprinkle some crack on him...

not much outrage.
- Yes, our domestication is complete. we are docile dogs in boxed units. In love our leashes. Jump in happiness dogy when you see your leash.yurimon
- you see the master with your leash.yurimon
- << ooops , yer.yurimon
- holy crap yurimon, this is why you were probably bannedmonospaced
- you go on and on and on about how we're all sheep that refuse to do anything, and then you give nothing moremonospaced
- as if you had dedicated your daily life to fixing everything, to actions that make real differences, in harms waymonospaced
- and that we were all inferior for not doing the same... but you're really just commenting on the internetmonospaced
- banned for sarcasm? whuh? I'm sorry but I think we as people are much better then this. my fault for deeply knowing we are much better what we settle foryurimon
- better than this. Much better than what we settle for and what we tolerate.yurimon
- missing the point again... you're right, but are you better yourself?monospaced
- I'm wokring on it always. I learn from here also. Can I tell you a truth mono?. I could tell you are a highly evolved spiritual soul.yurimon
- just from the Halloween photo from you eyes. but it also reveals negative energy you carry. perhaps from your experience in this world or something elseyurimon
- this world perhaps. so what is your will? because it is the will that over comes.yurimon

I'm confused. We are allowed to film cops? Don't people in general get annoyed when they are being filmed and cussed at?
- BTW, i'm not saying it was wrong for the guy to cuss the cops out. Just a general question.pinkfloyd
- yes, you can film what's happening in the publicmonospaced
- Yes you always have a right to film or record police officers on dutysarahfailin

the officers look frightened too after the shots. the other guy who gets arrested is very cooperative with the cop running to the wall.

Even if you don't blame the 5 officers for not being able to subdue the one man,
And even if you believe the story that the dude really did grab the cop's gun,
the cop who somehow allows a guy who has got 5 dudes on him to get ahold of his gun (which is holstered so as to not permit anyone but the officer to draw it) should be considered incompetent for even permitting it to happen. I'm sure they are supposed to be trained to prevent that from happening in a physical scuffle.
- not to defend the officers here, but we have no idea what really happend here. we cant see anything.benfal99

yup, that's the point - how incompetent must you be to let a "dangerous suspect" grab your gun? How horrible must your training be to even let that be in the realm of possibilities??
They did look scared after. I'll bet that it was one nervous idiot and they all regroup to defend him. Ridiculous.
Someone gets killed, someone should answer for it. Someone fires more than once and there better be one hell of a clear danger, not some "oh, he was reaching for a gun". He was unarmed, and if he did get armed, that was also the officer's fault.
Crazy crazy. Something really has to change.

When in doubt, just kill

How's that second amendment travelling fuckers?

The homeless guy must have grabbed one of their guns. I mean, why else would a cop want to shoot a guy in that situation, and with so many officers around him? They all stood back after with a "did that just fucking happen" frozen stance. It's fucked-up which ever way you look at it and really sad to see.
- I can think of many reasons why an LAPD cop might shoot a homeless black man.monospaced
- Why? Let's not forget we're talking about this video thoughgoldieboy
- one reason is he fucking hates homeless people and just fucking wants to kill them, and that's why he's a copmonospaced
- or he's seriously trigger-happy in general, and his red flags were ignored through training and on-the-job reviewsmonospaced
- or the culture of the LAPD, their outrageous racism and hate, and its pressure just got to himmonospaced
- for that video, specifically, because he's a fucking pussy and also probably really, really, REALLY unintelligentmonospaced
- ... right. So much insight.goldieboy
- Those are possible reasons! Are they not? They explain tons of shitty cop murders.monospaced
- There are many reasons behind cops misusing and abusing power.monospaced
- I was referring to this one case... Not a generalisation of the LAPD. It's a question you won't be able to answer so no worriesgoldieboy

Four cops can't each grab one of the guy's extremities?
