Caught On Tape: LAPD Guns Down Homeless Man In Broad Daylight

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The following video of LAPD officers gunning down a homeless man in broad daylight is rightly getting a lot of attention. It’s not as if it was one officer dealing with a dangerous situation who panicked. There was a mob of police officers surrounding the victim, and rather than dealing with the situation like courageous, decent adults, they went ahead and treated the man like target practice.

As we see with oligarch theft, this is the sort of thing you can expect more of when certain above-the-law groups in society fail to be held accountable for their actions.

WARNING: Graphic material and explicit language.

 

Absolutely disgusting.

that is definetly on the list of "shit that will get you shot" BUT police do over react and messing around with a homeless guy is defently going to result in bad things happening.

 

maybe these trigger happy fucks should get some more training before they take thier next does of T.

Wait a second. Fox had a report on this and the homeless guy was resisting and the grabed the cops gun. On the audio you can hear the cop shouting "He's got my gun" or very close to that and then the shooting. So let's wait to see if there is more on this but your headline is bullshit.

You can hear the cop say "I dropped my gun! I dropped my gun!" or something like that. He may have said "He got my gun!". Either way the situation should have been handled differently.

In Fairfax, VA, a Different, No-Less-Scary Police Shooting
18 months ago John Geer was shot by police while standing at his front door with his hands raised
By Neil Macdonald, CBC News Posted: February 18, 2015

But Geer pointed to one nearby officer in particular: Adam Torres, who kept raising his Sig Sauer pistol from the "ready" position (pointed at Geer's legs) to aim at Geer's chest.

Please ask him not to point his gun at me, Geer begged Barnes. Geer even offered to come out and be handcuffed voluntarily if Torres and the other patrolmen would agree to move "way back."

Then he asked to scratch his nose again. Barnes consented. And Torres fired.

White Teen Killed by Black Cop in Alabama Mirrors FergusonBy Valerie Richardson, Washington Times, November 27, 2014

Gilbert Collar, a white, unarmed 18-year-old under the influence of drugs was shot and killed Oct. 6, 2012, by Officer Trevis Austin, who is black, in Mobile, Alabama. Despite public pressure for an indictment, a Mobile County grand jury refused to bring charges against Officer Austin, concluding that the officer acted in self-defense.

Critics also note there has been no rioting or sustained protest in Mobile, even though the slightly built Collar, unlike Brown, never touched the officer and, because he was naked when he was shot, was more obviously unarmed.

Both shooting victims were found with marijuana in their systems.

"There's riots for #MikeBrown but none for #GilCollar," said one commenter, @samstuff, in a Wednesday post on Twitter.

"Nobody burnt buildings to the ground for them," said commenter Gomer Pyle on Twitter, referring to Collar and Dillon Taylor, a white 20-year-old shot Aug. 11 by a minority police officer in Utah. "You never even heard of them until now."

And it will get even nicer for Whites in the old USSA:
The 10 states diversifying the fastest February 26, 2015

The United States is projected to be “majority-minority” by 2044. As evidenced in our Diversity Explosion interactive, as the U.S. population ages it is also becoming much more diverse. Specifically, the share of people of color in the U.S. is 26 percent higher in the 0-19 age group than the 65+ age group. But over the next several decades, some states will change much faster than others. Hawaii and the District of Columbia already have the highest shares of people of color (77 percent and 64 percent, respectively), and given that those shares are already so high, their changes won’t be as drastic as other places. Here are the 10 states that stand out when looking at the difference in share of the people of color aged 19 and younger compared to those aged 65 and older.

5 Shots.

how many times did they shoot the guy in new york, 41 times?

LAPD is 8 times more efficient than new york PD.

how many shots does it take to disable a guy?

i feel bad for cops.  it's a tough job.  they're not all goons.  but the LAPD does seem to have a history of abuses.

the film starts too late to see what initiated it.  notice there's a black cop there, too.  not like this was "racism"

You gotta make sure he's dead. You don't want a live victim in court. When's the last time someone was shot by the cops and lived to tell the tale?

And,666th book, if the number of times they hit him is any less than the number of times fired at that range they should be fired for incompetence.

"Why is it "complete bullshit"? "they went ahead and treated the man like target practice," that is complete bullshit. If someone is crazy enough to go for a cops gun, they are asking to get shot."

I agree with you.

If the Cop that came to supervise the skinny woman getting arrested with his gun in his hand... then went back to grab a leg while still having his gun in his right hand finger on the trigger... why did he have to shoot 4-5 times??

He clearly has been trained to kill people not subdue them.

Which is okay if you are a cop and you are told the threat is huge, ongoing and endless. If you see everyone as a terrorist with a gun or a bomb, you are indoctrinated.

Of course this is sort of Normalization with China Policies of Vicious Suppression on ordinary citizens, so maybe this is just proof for the Chinese that we will support their policy.

Treaties are everything today. Treaties supersede US Law and Local Laws.

The best fighters are people that fight a lot. The bums, hobos, drug fiends, burglars between jobs collectively known as the homeless are constantly fighting. They had a homeless camp experiment in downtown L.A. in the mid 80s and we had a job near the entrance. The gaurds at the gate would take a cubic yard a day of weapons off the "homeless". I am on the cops side.

But that is STILL not a license for the cops to shoot any nutjob out there, well, it's not supposed to be.  Nobody is going to miss this victim, but it's still not the cop's job to do that, it could become, y'know, like a bad habit.

I agree that the 'police state' is outa control. But the way eryone jumps on the other side, just from being fed what MSM wants you to see/hear?.. it's a little much people.

 

If people are dumb enough to grab a gun from a cop (if that part is true, cant tell from the vid)..or had a gun and resisted..he shoulda been gunned down.

That's my opinion. So there.

 

Let me guess, he had his hands up and was saying I surrender & 'dont shoot' too. (that'l be the nightly news version).

 

Maybe if society calmed the fuck down, then cops could calm the fuck down.

Slowly but surely, the cops are losing the battle for public perception.  Cell phones and you tube have created an army of video journalists ready to report news as it is happening.  MSM can't spike these stories the way they used to. The commentary tends to be a bit on the raw side, but the message is the same.  The state is malevolent.

Militarized Police just is part of a Plan to Dominate and Kill US Citizens. If you want to serve the Public, you train the Police to disarm, pacify, and control with Non-Lethal Methods.

This is partly a result of Drawing Employees from the Military to the Police Forces and encouraging this through Federal policy and federal Militarization in DHS.

1. If he grabbed the gun, it was out of its holster and police have some 'splaning to do about that.

2. If he grabbed the gun, meaning grabbed the holster, as it is very, very, very, VERY difficult to actually remove the gun from the holster due to retention straps, five enforcers should have no problem breaking his arm to remove his hand from the holster.

Zero Hedge posters really?  The evidence of the facts of the case so far fully support that the suspect obtained possession of one of the officers firearms - split seconds from being able to use it.  I know a lot of you have only seen fights and gunfights in Hollywood shows, but in the real world in America if you assault a law enforcement officer with deadly force, that warrants a deadly response.  This will be ruled a clean shoot 100% of the time because it is.

While tragic, step out of your fantasy world of how the world works and understand that these officers responded correctly. Furthermore, spend a few days on the streets living like a homeless person and see what kind of sweet dindu nuffin you become. It is very cold here at night in LA given warm daytime temperatures and with no shelter, no food, nothing, odds are you will become very mean quickly.

Recent LA Times pieces have shown that a lot of money allocated for the homeless goes to 'administration' of it so go fight that.

Chump, you clearly need to listen to the audio and watch it several more times. LA Times has several articles on this and there is one officer who's body camera footage supports a clean shoot as well. I look forward to taking your money in the markets if this is your accumen for assessing reality.

If your acumen in general is as good as your use of words you don't understand, I'm not at all worried about my money.  It's not in the markets anyway, but I think you get the point.

There are two stories here. One is the mentally ill homeless and the other is the vigilante police since 911.

In the 1980s, I was on a project where I had to visit Skid Row in Los Angeles, where the skid row street is Wall Street, that is its actual name. When I returned I told the director of the program that I had expected to go there and have a sense of things wrong with society, but I came back feeling that there was something wrong with these people, She said, "Oh there is. They are mentally ill." She proceeded to tell me that the Reagan Adminstration had closed down publicly supported mental institutions and the patients were released to the streets with $125 in cash. In today's environment, the US Government can spend $6 trillion dollars on bogus foreign wars, but does not have anything for the needs of the citizens of the country.

The other story is that 911 was the excuse to create lawless policing where police are completely out of control with the right to murder anyone and in no way tried under Constitutional law or even local laws.

Think for a moment just who benefits from the $6 trillion wars and policing that is akin to Nazi lawlessness reminiscent of the Third Reich? If you believe it is being done for the benefit of ordinary American citizens, then you are in fact delusional.

The principal reason for 911 was to orchestrate bogus wars to steal the resources of other countries, while at the same time implementing a police state in the US. Both of these assertions are clear to anyone who has their eyes open.

Hate to say this, but, fuck the cops.

People gotta start shooting back. Figure, who has guns in LA? Cops and gangs. Expect a couple of cop shootings soon, then shortly escalating to all-out war, rounding up gang members en masse, or killing them for fun, LA Style.

The world we're living in (aka, the madness were suffering through) has two root causes:

1. People with too much power, influence, money (5% of population)

2. Other 95% doesn't know what to do, or, doesn't care. Generally, the 95% are disorganized and split up into groups, the largest being a) those working for, or getting benefits from, government; b) the rest of the people.

And don't give me this 1% or .01% shit. Yeah, there are some seriously rich motherfuckers out there, like Gates or Buffett, but start at local cop, schoolteacher, school superintendent, elected official, etc. on up the ladder. Anybody making less than $30k a year is on the wrong side of the ledger, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE.

they commit the crime, you do the time. Then die for it since the penalty for letting someone make you homeless is death.

There was a time when the presence of a gun alone was not justification to shoot, when the subject holding the gun was not enough to shoot, when the subject had to be using a gun for it to be a clean shoot.

I didn't see any of that in this video.

A big divide between people is this:  When the police act correctly according to policy, but incorrectly with regard to supporting public peace and order, is the action correct or incorrect?

I see below many saying "The suspect had a gun.  Therefore it was a clean shoot." 

Do we know he had a gun?  We know someone SAID he had a gun, and that's all we know at this point.  Would have been nice if the videographer here had seen it.

My answer is that when an activity is a detriment to the peace, it is wrong whether or not it is policy.

The problem with glorifying 'Policy' is that it says nothing about the effects of the policy.

So far the government has been pushing the population pretty hard.  Snooping into every corner of our lives, assuming authorities and privileges supported by no law, banning products, services, activities, seizing property without jury or recourse, even killing and disappearing people...and generally acting no different from criminal gangs.

As Rome discovered, when the government is no different than the gangs, people tend to defect to a sympathetic gang.

Another fact, in 1015 a dissatisfied serf was no threat to any armed enforcer - his armor and weapons were so inferior as to be useless.

That's not so in 2015.   A dissatisfied serf with gasoline and styrofoam could make a real disproportionate mess...and the other tools of modernity similarly expand his reach.

That's the legal standard everyone else held to - otherwise everyone is shooting everyone for non-threats just because of being scared of what you see yet not attacked whatsoever.

 

See, if you have to kill people out of fear of being attacked before an attack happens that makes you a coward, paranoid and unfit to be in society much less fit to be an officer. Laws vary by jurisdiction but in the USA it's legal to carry firearms for anyone, with exceptions for felons, certain guns in certain places, full-auto ... and let's not forget...

WHERE IS THIS FICTIONAL GUN? Did he really have one?

cjt,  I believe a law outlawing taping of any law enforcement officer while performing his duties just passed in the State of Illinois.  I heard something to that effect on  the radio.  It may have been signed into law or vetoed.  I know there are states considering  banning citizen videos of poliice actions.  In 2013 alone the City of Chicago paid out just over 110 million dollars in settlements to citizens claiming police brutality or mistreatment.  One year of settlements.  i wonder who carries the liablity insurance for the City?  must be a helluva premium payment. If you resist a group of police who outnumber you 6 to one unless you are armed and willing to kill them you will always lose that fight.

I help feeding the homeless and street people.  I recently gave a man a ride who had had a dispute with some upstairs tenants in his two flat.  The police decided that he needed to spend the night somewhere else because they didnt want to come back if the situation escalated again later that night.  They did not arrest him but in essence evicted him for one night from the residence where his rent was paid on time and current.  When this man returened to his apartment everything was gone/stolen.  The police have no right to kick you out of your own house.  Um,,, secure in our residence,  belongings  ah hell.  We are witnessing the fall of the Empire.  It is cracked and crumblling.  I used to think it was fixable.  i hear stories like this frequently from the urban outdoorsman we help out.
