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

In Sweden the homeless have lodging. Folks who are on the street PREFER to be there.
- believe it or not most of the people in America PREFER to be on the street as well, as opposed to a shelter or housingsublocked

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...

look for Skid Row street on Google Images

I dunno, I don't really see anything wrong with this. Being on drugs isn't an excuse. He shouldn't have tried to get crazy with the cops. Just sit down and shut up. It's very possible the guy did grab the gun, and even if he wasn't able to get it out, if he just reached for it I don't blame the cops for doing what they did. Those cops have families and most are out there trying to do the right thing. What if the guy did pull out the gun and killed an officer, then they'd be saying -- wish I had shot him before that happened. Yeah, there are some bad cop things going on -- I wouldn't consider this one of them.
- their job is to keep calm and stay in control, not to start fucking riots. if you;ve got a family you are worried about, don't become a cop.scruffics
- a cop and get a job at the office.scruffics
- That makes no sense whatsoeverfyoucher1
- So when that guy ran back in the tent, they should have assumed he was bringing them cookies?fyoucher1

@bklyndroobeki
totally right about martial arts. Specifically kung fu wing chun. You know i'm taking lessons since 16 months now and i know it's highly effective in close range combat; lot's of hands-arms involved to knock someone down, hurt badly and control someone. It's better to have an eye gouged or a broken arm than receiving 12 bullets.
And in that video, kung fu would have been the best possible scenario to apply it; controlling someone hitting like a crazy everywhere.
The officers in that video are improvising and are not in control at all. Martial arts IS control. They should have take a step back instead of rushing on him and then let him come and take a shot; with someone as agitated as him, i would have hit with a front thrust kick first.
anyway

If 4 cops can't control one homeless guy, they have no business being cops. These guys look as competent and professional as a Walmart employee.

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.
