LAPD murders unarmed, unclothed black man

Jan 15, 2011 02:52

Short version: cops get calls about a man creating a disturbance (I'll bet!) and find a naked man, babbling and behaving erratically. They chase him down twice in an attempt to detain him. When they cornered the guy, he (according to the LAPD) begins to attack them, so they shot him dead.

The LAPD recently released its version of the events. Mind you, this was the BEST they could come up with. Apparently, it's all good both cops were men of color (one black, one Asian) and the suspect was physically aggressive, resulting in terrible injuries such as a sore jaw.

I'm willing to give the kid cop the benefit of the doubt, though. Maybe he was just reaching for his Tazer.
