Potential Hot Spot in Los Angeles ‐ Sheriff's Deputy Shoots and Kills Black Suspect
2020-09-01
[RedState] On Monday afternoon a Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy shot and killed a black suspect.

A small crowd has gathered to protest, but matters do not appear to be escalating out of control.

It appears that the officer who fired the fatal shots is a minority as well. This photo appears to be a Hispanic officer with his gun drawn

Local news reports are stating that the officers saw the man riding a bicycle in an illegal manner in South Los Angeles and attempted to get him to pull over. The man got off the bicycle, punched one officer in the face, and began to run carrying a bundle of clothing. When he dropped the clothing a semi-automatic handgun fell out. It was at that point that the shooting took place. The handgun is reported to have been recovered. No details are reported about what triggered the shooting after the weapon was observed.

#19  Short, blunt version: It's a Mex. BLM don't give a crap about Mexicans. (It's all about the shakedown.)

#18  Grom, thousands of those videos out there. The police use them for training. So does the military. Also in carry permit classes. Shoot/No Shoot scenarios are wild and dynamic. Almost everyone errs on the side of Shoot when it’s their ass on the line. At least the first few dozen times. Specifically there was a video circulating the tubes of a traffic stop where the guy was being arrested, started fighting, got away and ran around the car. Reached in the driver window and pulled a gun. Shot both cops. Took the guy three seconds from breaking contact to shooting. They lived. Not so much for the two cops in Arkansas that pulled over a sovereign citizen and his kid. Have the dad out of the car, kid pops out and blasts them both with Kalasnikov. Zero to dead in three seconds.

#17  Do these guys want to die or do their brains go out to lunch?

Yes.

#16  ^We only hear the stories where the perp is shot. How many cases where cops, due to current circumstances, hesitate & get shot?

#15  LA Sheriff says the suspect reached for the gun after it fell onto the ground.

Do these guys want to die or do their brains go out to lunch? Anybody with any brains or the least little bit of survival instinct would put his hands up and surrender at that point.

#12  #3 If catch and release stops, we'll know for sure.

Not that there's any doubt that the Dems approve of these riots, so long as they can avoid blowback.

And there's no doubt that a Venn diagram of Dem donors and ActualFa/BidensLootersMurderers backers would show a large, maybe even perfect overlap.

#9  The real "antifa" and BLM types are out to burn the whole system down. The Dems are merely their useful idiots.

Sure it isn't the other way around?

#7  Yes, just as we on the right see "the uniparty" working to thwart our ideals, the far left sees everyone else as being to their right. That includes most of the dem party.

#6  I don't think Antifa cares much for the Democrats. So the Democrat Mayors may stop their judges from catch-and-release or they might call in the National Guard but requests to cut it out won't be effective.

#3  Limbaugh says internal polling shows voters blame the riots on Democrats so the riots will stop since Democrats and their MSM allies control the riots. Let's see if this shooting gets the kind of MSM attention that George Floyd got. It was pretty clear the way they all kept on and on about Floyd that they wanted riots. Now let's see if they still do.
