L.A. Cops Shoot, Kill Autistic Man Near Koreatown

cops only make everything worse. the pigs who did this should be fired and have their arms rights taken.

note to self: NEVER EVER FUCKIN TALK TO POLICE or if i do say repeatedly that i dont have a weapon and not to shot (they'll probably shoot anyway)

what... tha..... fuck...

off the force! and at least a year in prison!... cops need to know that they cant just fucking shoot people... even if they're suspicious... or its dark.... or they touch their "wristband area"

the cop NEEDS TO KNOW that their life is in danger... and if he cant react fast enough when he KNOWS... then... guess what? MAYBE HE NEEDS MORE TRAINING... or something... just every time i hear of some stupid thing like this i get more and more pissed.

A head shot is not an accident. The cops could have shot him in the leg or arm or even in the torso to stop him from whatever he was doing.

Ok, I am willing to barter it down to a strong reprimand and possibly two months of desk time for the offending officer.

If it was at night and they were in a gang related neighborhood doing a shake down and this kid has his back to them and will not listen and then turns around quickly and goes quickly for something in his waistband...I can see where the cop pulls the trigger.

This cop is in a gang related task force, so I am just guessing he is not in an affluent neighborhood and he is scared for his life. He has probably been shot at before. Possibly even had a friend in the task force die.

Was it a single bullet? Or did he unload the clip as he was running forward, and then drop a mag and through in another mag and unload another clip?

Did he have a conversation with the suspect and he wouldn't put his hands above his head? There are to many questions for us to guess about.

I will always tend to side with the police. Why do the people in this neighborhood have a gang? The people in the neighborhood could put a stop to the gang, so I also hold them responsible, along with the parents. What was this young man doing out in a gang related neighborhood?

Bull Shit. A man killed over "suspiciously looking around and manipulating something in his waistband area."!? This time the cops are the ones bullshitting a lie.

Happens way to often to be an accident

Cops.

If it was an accident, I don't know if he should go to prison. Possibly a suspension or a stern written counseling.

If he did it intentionally, I can see what you are getting at. They were in a gang related neighborhood and the officer was on a gang task force if I am not mistaken.

They are under a lot of stress. Maybe the chest, arm, or leg would have been more appropriate. The head does seem like over kill. They do train them to deal with people to listen. If the suspect does not listen they are justified in protecting themselves.

This dirty harry like officer just happened to be on edge and be a crack shot.

About 10 years in prison would teach this pig and others some restraint.

I have provided services to armed citizens for over 30 years and never had to shoot anyone in the head. A few did test me but that is when a REAL MAN has to stand his ground and show some restraint. Don't let fear drive you to murder a man. Most don't want to die no more than you do.

A lot of the blame belongs on whoever trained this guy because they failed him! They failed to train him how to restraint his emotions. They taught him how to aim and shoot a target in head but never how to use his own head.

Cops are not citizens with guns, once they put that badge on their lives are secondary to the good of our society. They are the citizens' guard dogs. Their duty is clearly defined as "To Serve And Protect". They can't assume role of both master and servant at the same time,that can lead to nowhere but wide spread corruption! When that cop put that badge on that morning he assumed the responsibility to protect and provide service to the citizens he would meet later on that day. Instead he coldly shot a handicap citizen in the head. That citizen most likely thought he would get some type of service from his dog but instead the pig shot him in the head.

How can Cops provide any service to society if the true citizens can't approach them without getting shot in the head?

I don't know this exact situation. However, I know being in that situation where you have seconds to respond you can't judge the brave men and women who put their lives at risk to protect us. They have to make split decisions and are often shot at. When you know as a person living in a large city that if the police approach you that you don't disobey their requests.

It is never pleasant to hear that someone was shot, regardless of the circumstance. However, the brave people that choose to protect us with their lives on the line do NOT get paid no where near enough to deal with all they do.

They truly are angels protecting us having to deal with all the crap and the worst of society.
