The “Black” (that’s racist btw to give blacks an Honorific capitalization but not whites) man that was killed in L.A. tonight is sad but it’s pretty clearly an acceptable decision by the officer. Let’s see what happens.

I feel like the players can’t keep up this level of faux outrage for much longer. Will be interesting to see if they crack or ruin the season.

How about WNBA players dressing up with a serial rapists name on their shirts? You are a pathetic piece of shite if youre on the Justice for Jacob Blake train

It’s almost like whether nba players play or don’t play has nothing to do with whether cops shoot potentially armed suspects in the heat of the moment

The dude had a semi automatic weapon
quote:

“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,” the lieutenant said.

“The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semi-automatic handgun.”

Two officers then opened fire and the man was struck by gunfire several times, Dean said.

The man, identified only as a Black man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The lieutenant said the man was struck several times, “however we are unaware of exactly where, as we have not been able to move the body yet as we were waiting for the coroner’s office.”

“We still have to conduct our interviews of the investigating officers to see exactly what happened and transpired during the deputy-involved-shooting,” Dean said in response to questions on what prompted the use of force. “But if this individual was reaching for a semi-automatic handgun, I would suggest that, you know, that’s probably why deadly force was important.”

The man’s black semi-automatic handgun was recovered at the scene, officials said.

Has the media covered the Patriot Prayer guy who was just gunned down mercilessly in cold blood by rioters in Portland this weekend? Have any of the NBA players given their thoughts? Has Chris Long weighed in, given how outspoken he was on Charlottesville?

I have an idea

Don’t resist arrest, don’t have guns, don’t punch cops, don’t run away from cops, listen to what they say

I want this to be a good shoot by the cops as bad as anyone, trust me... but doesn't seem to be a little problematic?

“The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semi-automatic handgun.”

Two officers then opened fire and the man was struck by gunfire several times, Dean said.



Did the dude have another gun that he was waving around? I sure as hell hope so. Why would you shoot the guy "after" he dropped his gun?

If they had reason to believe he had another weapon on him and he was moving into a residential area...

I know I was always taught in the military to protect civilians from threats.

When he dropped the clothing the firearm was spotted, never said he dropped weapon, just clothing.

Unless I'm missing something, what you say and what the statement I quoted says are conflicting. Am i reading something wrong?

When the deputies attempted to contact the man, he dropped the bicycle and ran north on Budlong for one block with deputies in pursuit, Dean said. In the 1200 block of West 109th Place, deputies again tried to make contact with the man, and he punched one of them in the face, Dean said. In doing so, the man dropped a bundle of clothing he had been carrying. The deputies spotted a black handgun in the bundle, Dean said, and both opened fire, killing the man. He didn’t identify the man and described him only as a Black man in his 30s.


Open and shut.

Eat shite, NBA.
