LAPD shooting unarmed man

[silex™]

[ILL MIND OF SP1kE.]

I've come across this during the past few days and I think it is very disturbing that police are having to fire 6 shots at a mentally unstable man, killing him as a result. Could it not have ended differently if the man was only given a warning shot or a non lethal shot, i doubt that the situation had to end with a deadly shooting... Thanks for sharing this !

They fired unnecessary shots, i mean you cant warn a guy and shoot him six times that's not called warning at all plus they were 4 officers they could just jump on him in a way that he cant move and that would be all,but we know America's police they always shoot suspects and say we were afraid for our lives.

Plus he was tazed a few times i am sure they could just put cuffs on him. Btw are u familiar with fb pages such as Copblock

The truth is people use any means they have to force their justice without thinking reasonable, thus using their guns immediately. They shouldn't be allowed to use guns so easily, just like here in Greece, it's kind of illegal to use a gun as a cop unless, I don't fully remember the law, unless a gun is pointed at you or smth, smth that indicates immediate danger, not just a situation 1vs4 with an unarmed guy.

Same in the UK mate, no cops carry weapons with them.
They only carry batons, pepper spray, most of the them don't even carry a taser on them.
If there is a threat that requires police to have weapons, a separate car/van will come with the gear and provide them or a separate unit specializing in weapons will come.

I think only in places like London, Manchester etc.. where cops carry tasers.

Such mistakes happen, it's a tough job after all I wouldn't blame them.

Dont compare us with uk zeesh, in the us you can buy a gun so easily and almost everyone own guns so the police must carry guns all the time but its not an excuse to shoot unarmed man six times.

I see your point and you would be right if these incidents were isolated cases. The truth is that cops in the US kill, on average, 3 citizens a day which is 1 person every 8 hours!!! Murdering cops are everywhere and a lot of times these murders are unjustified or could have been avoided

Cops have the toughest job ever especially nowadays it's a chaos.

[ILL MIND OF SP1kE.]

True but that cant be a good enough excuse to murder someone who could have lived, the job is tough, if you cant handle it u shouldnt be a cop

American cops think they got all the power and can do whatever they like.
In Latvia, if you cross a road where is no zebra marking - You pay a fine. I think it was around 20 euros
In Ireland, cross a road in front of the cops while they are driving and they see it - they dont even give a single fuk.
Lets not better talk about shooting. Never heard that irish cops ever have shot some one.
Bullshit

USA is a very complicated place compared to Ireland or even Latvia where murder or crime doesn't usually occur unlike USA where you always hear about man killing man with guns, rubbery, terrorism, etc...

Well that shouldnt mean that they should automatically shoot anyone just because they might be a terrorist or someone with a gun as it is quite unfair that cops can make assumptions that you are a terrorist without any of your actions actually giving him reasonable evidence to assume that. Also terrorism is mostly staged up by the government itself yet they still have the guts to say that the people are terrorists when in truth they are the real terrorists

Agreed about the government.

Guns is in the american culture so they should find a solution to reduce them, it makes me laugh sometimes when i see in the news the president or the foreign minister discussing iranian nuclear program, and in the us killings happen everyday by armed people.

Take care of your own country people.

On the other hand people are very cautious there as many people have guns and you are allowed to shoot somebody if they break into your property therefore having a gun can actually decrease break ins and attacks and help people protect themselves. People with legal guns actually account for a very small percentage of attacks/murders in the US as their guns have a serial number registered to their name, but i do agree that just by making guns so accessible legally they also make them very easy to buy illegally as well
