Topic: Los Angeles police shoot unarmed man in head; and then handcuff him! - page 2. (Read 1779 times)

Recently this year, I found many news related to the police shoot the unarmed man in the United states o America. I came across similar news in Brazil also, the ironic part in the above news is that, is that policeman are trying to control his breath or what ? during he was lying unconscious. I think that policeman just return watching police action movies.

Well.. this can't get any better. According to the Los Angeles Police Department official spokesperson Andrew Smith, the cops are investigating whether the shooting was provoked by an "attempt to suicide" from the victim. According to Smith, the cops are still investigating why the victim flagged down the two policemen. They are also investigating him for terrorist links (for flagging down). 

Kudos to them for following procedures. 
A suspect is a suspect, even if shot and profusely bleeding.

I'm glad that they only hand cuffed him and didn't swing their baton at him while he was lying in the ground 

Everywhere in the world? where the hell do you live? in my country I cant remember a single case of a guy getting shoot by the police in the head, let alone being handcuff after that just in case he returns back to life the walking dead style. What the fuck man.

It's sad to hear that this man was shot in the head and got handcuffed
The police should apply pressure on his head and call the ambulance 
Another Bad rep In my book!

I think I've just about read it all now. I would've thought the average cop gets more stimulus, be it mental or otherwise, in a week than an office worker does in their entire career.

Perhaps they're not supposed to sit back and reflect after emptying their guns into brown people.

ED-209's time is about to blossom. We have just the right generation of numbed gamers to steer them too.

Read my post above.  Some police agencies have apparently implemented a policy that you are barred from being a police officer if your IQ is too high.  The decision was upheld in a Federal lawsuit.

HAHAHA, PREACH! My feelings described perfectly over here! Aren't these people selected, tested, trained, made eligible for the the best services before handing them a badge and a gun? Does the profession kill brain cells?

That is the most stupid thing I have heard this week, they shoot the man then they handcuff so when it comes to investagation they shot someone unarmed and cuffed? "Makes sense" Still going strong after taking a bullet to the head, my preyers are with him.

It happens everywhere in the world, however in U.S it is bit extreme, even I heard that, U.S Police will not even tolerate plastic guns to be raised on them for play or whatever, there are numerous live captured videos in youtube which shows real cowardly things by few officers. While seeing those live clips, one can ascertain that they have some stress in their life and they take out those stress by doing such cowardly acts.

I don't think that the victim was Hispanic. He looks 100% white from this image:



And this might be one of the reasons why the mainstream media is still refusing to reveal the identity of the victim. Earlier, most of the new articles were referring to the victim as Hispanic. But now, the new articles are silent about his ethnicity. A white on minority police shooting attracts much more attention, perhaps.

I remember awhile back there was an article posted here on that very issue and it turned out that the authorities were deliberately weeding out any recruits that might actually be intelligent, they don't want a police force that can think for themselves and look at situations carefully, they just want obedient mercenaries.

Aren't these police offers supposed to take IQ tests? Aren't these tests design to help analyze if a person is mentally qualified to become a cop and be accompanied with a gun and a badge? physical fitness and willingness to serve is all good but if your understanding and maturity is of a 7 year old, BEING A POLICE MAN IS NOT THE FUCKING WAY TO GO!

The cops are stupid and cowardly, Standard and I wonder if we need a public health investigation into whether blue dye lowers IQ and increases the fear response

Los Angeles police shoot unarmed man in head – and then handcuff him

 • Man with towel around hand appeared to flag officers down for help
 • Police handcuffed unconscious man as he bled profusely


An unarmed man was shot in the head and critically wounded by Los Angeles police officers on Friday night, after he appeared to be flagging them down for assistance.

A passerby recorded graphic video of the incident from a car, and then posted it on Twitter. The video showed officers turning over the man, who appeared to be unconscious and lying on his face, and handcuffing his hands behind his back as his head bled profusely.

The Los Angeles police department said the man, who was not immediately named, had a towel wrapped around his hand and the two officers believed he was concealing a weapon.

The man reportedly waved over the officers in their patrol car in the quiet Los Feliz area of LA, north-east of Hollywood, at about 6.30pm. The officers got out of their vehicle and one ordered the man to “drop the gun”, LAPD lieutenant John Jenal told local television news on Friday night.

Jenal said the man “extended his arm towards the officers”. The man did not respond to the police order and he was shot, Jenal said.

According to the LA Times, officers later discovered the man was not carrying a weapon.

The man, who is believed to be Hispanic and in his forties, was taken to hospital. On Saturday afternoon, his condition was described as grave.

Witnesses said they heard three or four shots ring out during the confrontation.

The LAPD said on Saturday it was standard procedure to handcuff any suspect.

Surrounding streets, including a major local thoroughfare, were closed off until 2am on Saturday, causing gridlock in the area.
