Over a Bike Violation...But they said he had a Handgun on him
Which he dropped, probably thinking that the cops might recognize that a lack of threat of lethal force on them might cause them to not murder him as the law demands. Even if he hadn't dropped it, he didn't try to use it to attack anyone and the claim that cops should be able to shoot anyone who carries a gun is anti-2nd amendment.

They shot him after they saw the gun drop in a bundle of cloth he was carrying.

Haven't seen anyone say whether the cops saw him going for the gun, all the articles make it sound like they shot as soon as they saw the gun which was not on his person when it was seen which makes it... weird especially as this started over a bike violation? What does that even mean?

Our suspect was holding some items of clothing in his hands, punched one of the officers in the face and then dropped the items in his hands, Sheriffs Lt. Brandon Dean said Monday evening. The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semiautomatic handgun, at which time a deputy-involved shooting occurred.

So he assaulted an officer and had been carrying at least one deadly weapon that they know of?

...semi-auto weapons are banned in LA so you can't play that card. You can't remove the second amendment in an area and then pretend that there's a second-amendment right. Oh, and not for nothing, but gun control is rooted in racism.

It was a bike violation stop. The suspect knew he would be searched and they'd find an illegal weapon on his person (and semi-auto weapons are very illegal in LA, especially handguns) so he ran. The police pursued, he assaulted one officer, and shortly after they saw that he was in possession of at least one gun. Whether it was out of his hands or not at the time, keep in mind that you already had a hostile suspect who attacked an officer and was known to be armed with at least one illegally-carried weapon. As such, their actions don't seem entirely unreasonable. They didn't know what other weapons he might have on his person, but at that point they'd established a willingness to use violence against officers and that he was carrying illegal weapons.

To suggest that holding a firearm (let alone fucking dropping one) is grounds for shooting someone IS anti 2nd amendment regardless of whether or not the firearm is legal because the legality of the firearm is not part of the original argument.

As has been explained to you before, Zeus, the cops are not legally permitted to murder people who are not posing an immediate, active threat, and it doesn't matter if they're holding a firearm/knife (legal or not, if they aren't attacking someone with them, they have no grounds for killing the person), whether or not they are perfectly compliant, whether or not they run, whether or not they have drugs or have used drugs, whether or not they have a criminal record. And cops KNOW this, which is why Dylan Roof is alive.

I don't even believe them that he punched any of them till I see video evidence.

Police lie all the fucking time on reports after unjustly shooting somebody.

And he was fleeing, and they had guns. The only conceivable time he could've punched them is before he ran away. In which case, he wasn't assaulting them when they shot him. Revenge for punching one of them isn't justification to shoot him when he's no longer a threat. That's what criminal charges and court is for.

Idk what you mean by "on purpose", but there's ample evidence that excessive force against minorities is by design. Police are taught to treat them as targets and that no matter how far they go the police force will always support them.

Police are taught that they are soldiers going into enemy territory, and that the people who live there are all out to kill them.

theyre poorly trained and a lot of them are people that arent really equipped to deal with crisis scenarios

plus they give them all a gun so of course when things get tense its easy for them to jump to shooting someone to resolve a situation, especially since even if they fuck up theyve got an entire department and union that is gonna have their back no matter what

I'm not implying his being killed was justified. There aren't enough details. But I'm going to start with it not being justified until I get more details. Being rational is not a bad word.

lolwut? You mean a white kid in the middle of a large crowded area at night wasn't stopped because the cops were trying to search the area to see who was shot. Meanwhile, I should point out, that a white kid listening to music was shot in the back by officers who were responding to an alleged tip -- despite bodycam showing that the officer was only feet away from the suspect who had his back turned to the officer -- who then handcuffed the kid and let him bleed out on the sidewalk.... after which it was deemed appropriate and nothing happened to the cops. You want to talk about double-standards? How about the fact that BLM didn't say shit about that because the unarmed teenager was white and it interferes with their false narrative that police misconduct is exclusively a black thing? Or the fact that the media outlets -- and posters -- who claim "another day, another black man is killed by cops" go deathly silent when it happens to a non-black suspect?

HelIWithoutSin posted...
Assault weapons are banned in California, handguns are not.

...first, there are state AND city ordinances regarding gun control. Second, and more importantly, it was a semi-auto handgun (ie, an "assault weapon") which is pretty explicitly banned both under high capacity magazine bans and under the semi-auto ban. And that's not even going into LA's laws regarding hanguns.

So I can't point out something that's very obvious? Is that how we're doing things now? I don't know how many times I have to justify myself by saying that I don't want anyone to be killed by cops - black or otherwise. But IF he was fighting with cops then they MIGHT have a justified reason for shooting him. But I'm not going to assume the narrative is correct, I'm just taking it on first impression based upon incredibly limited and suspect facts/narrative.

Jesus Christ. I'm looking at the information that I have. There's a legal term called 'prima facie' which means 'at first appearance' which is used in cases where the facts are not necessarily true. This doesn't mean that you're assuming everything that has been said/presented to be true. It means you're looking at the case as though those facts are true and making as judgement under that assumption while also leaving it open to the possibility that what you're seeing is in some way a falsehood and that those facts will come to light through the course of a situation/case.

I've grown kinda numb to all the blacks being killed by police. They seem so horrible on the surface. Inexcusable. Racist. Corrupt cops abusing their power. Infuriating. Tragic. Sad.

And ANY death is tragic and sad. Any unnecessary loss of life.

HOWEVER........it's seeming like more and more often....the nation reels from these deaths....only to have more information come out a MONTH later....that paints a much different picture than the one the MSM jumped on the day it happened.

Anyone else noticing this trend?

Just thinking out loud. Don't mind me.

They eventually release body-cam footage....and you find out the guy physically assaulted the police, resisted arrest, resisted a taser, continued to rough up the police, ignored all directives, was given countless chances to comply and deescalate....but they choose the exact opposite.

I'm not saying that happens in ALL cases.....but it's been happening in a LOT of them.

I'm not saying the cops should shoot them to death the moment they don't cooperate........but there's a messy line where lack of cooperation quickly turns into the lives of the officers being put in jeopardy by this person's spastic behavior.

And in ANY situation where a GUN or KNIFE presents itself....you can bet your ass the cops aren't going to mess around. Bullets will probably start flying.
