Another Cop killing of a BLACK man in Los Angeles….first let me say I do not know if this is a racial killing YET…..the jury is still out on that…..I’ll wait until the police camera recording comes out. My guess is the longer LAPD takes to release it, the less in favor it will be for the cops that shot this unarmed homeless man……BUT what I will say is this, I get that when a police officer gets a call to a specific location they automatically go into combat mode. Having lived in L.A. I can tell you that when a call comes into BEVERLY HILLS the response isn’t the same as when a call comes in for SKID ROW…..So for skid row LAPD sends 6 officers for one mentally ill homeless man…..I don’t know, maybe I don’t understand because I’m not a cop but I would think that the police who responded to the call would automatically approach the situation with SENSITIVITY AS WELL AS CAUTION….It seems like they knew this man was mentally ill as many homeless people are……In viewing the tape on the news it seems the man was out of control but there were 6 officers on the scene for this one man……aren’t cops trained for these type of situations….then supposedly the man TRIED to grab the cops gun …….DID IT REQUIRE SIX BULLETS to stop this man…I’ve said this before in a previous posting “if a cop needs to shoot at someone that’s not shooting at them why don’t they shoot to maim” The dictionary definition of the word MAIM is TO DEPRIVE OF THE USE OF SOME PART OF THE BODY BY WOUNDING OR THE LIKE”. If more SENSITIVITY TRAINING were included in police training I believe there would be less police killing….ESPECIALLY BLACK MEN AND THE MENTALLY ILL….Every time a person is shot and killed by a police officer its like Deja vu….you know all the court stuff thats gonna happen….. all the charges that will be brought and dropped….all the lawsuits filed and lost…..and then the story will fade way until the next POLICE SHOOTING OF A UNARMED BLACK MAN
