If I ever go visit LA, I'll print this on a t-shirt and wear that t-shirt every day I'm there.

They seem pretty consistent with hitting people in the eyes with these things .. does the US police have shares in fake eye companies ?
thisisausernamelikeanyothersbutthisonesmellsweird
So they smashed a dude in a wheel chair. The fuck is wrong with them assholes. they sure do like to hit the weak.. :(
absorbmo
Is there any context for these images?
nj23dublin
Start change with body cams on all police officers, and access to their records as required by courts. Who watches them otherwise?
Sokonomi
Any fucking context please? Jesus.

They are bound and determined to prove that they don't deserve the powers they've been given. Revoke qualified immunity, civil forfeiture,
HelloMax
Civil forfeiture is one of the dirtiest things of all time.
Attaroo
force them into training, demilitarize and defund them. Community policing, not the police state.
DubhIainn
And noone goes to help the man.

At least it looks like some other cops noticed the guy with the gun fucked up
kriswinters
It seems that he was a homeless man that police shot with rubber bullets...in the face.

Mayor Garcetti is the consummate politician, a past master at talking out of his ass about shit that sounds good but has zero to do with 2/

the situation. I lived and worked there for 30 years, the last good mayor was Tom Bradley-Garcetti's an empty suit of a mayor for sure...

California has an initiative process for citizens to make laws directly. Californians need to enact new laws to hold the police accountable.

Costumed. Murder-clowns. If you’re rocking the same uniform and don’t stop this, you’re just as bad as who pulls the trigger. Come at me. FU
jimbox114
WTF unless that man had a gun in his hand before this pic was snapped he couldn't have possibly been a threat to anyone. Even then 1/2
jimbox114
I think there were enough cops there to handle it without escalating like it did.

At this point I'm impressed that nobody has torched the PD stations in every precinct and that nobody has tried to assassinate Trump yet!

Quick Question - Why are his pants pulled down?

Seriously.. I mean I feel horrible for this guy bit I really need an answer to this question.

jimmyking2019: This could be any homeless man! In any LATimes! Just bc there is sufficient evidence doesn’t mean I wouldnt ’t blow Trump.
ThunderChief00
TV show The Rookie illustrates the intense training rookies have to go through to become LAPD. All bullshit in real life.
bonodono1350
Did they beat that guy up? @op
BlueCanaryInTheOutletByTheLightSwitch
No, they shot him in the face with a "non-lethal" foam bullet.
buzkilljoy
Unless whoever did this was arrested by one of the others, they should all lose their fucking badges and face prosecution.
rellsell
But they won't be. They may be suspended with pay until this blows over but they will be back.
sparachiodi
At this point, violence is direct threat AND intimidation. Law has nothing to do with this anymore. Other less pleasant options remain.
jessiepinkman
We're talking LAPD here, for decades they were used to no civilian oversight (or else this incident wouldn't have happened)...its going to2/
jessiepinkman
take a shit-load of lawsuits to FORCE them to step down their use of excess violence and it looks like a cycle now...
DirtyImmaturePottymouthedSmartass
The LAPD says it is "investigating" (deciding if they need to cut this cop loose to protect the themselves)
YannC
And then instead of cutting him loose they will have him sit at home with full pay for a few weeks, because that's punishment
pluribus7158
1/2 I reported this to the press, and also made a formal complaint to the LAPD chief and the CA Governor.
pluribus7158
2/2 As a formerly homeless person myself, I'd be in a morgue now as I would have attacked that piece of shit for doing this.
FunkyTheFox
They weren’t. He’s a homeless man. Nothing they do to him matters enough to anyone to do something about it.
Bivorski
Fuck that. I have faith this generation rolls better than that.
jessiepinkman
Oh, but it's hit the press now-some lawyer is probably cruising the streets of downtown trying to find this guy to take the case pro bono...
RElGNMAN
Seriously, how threatened can you actually be with an unarmed man in a wheelchair?
Bollramm
"I feared for my life judge." "Oh, well then I guess it was appropriate use of force. Thank you for your service officer."
breakingcode
"I thought he had a gun"
GordonSwarbrick
Doesn’t look like this guy is much threat but ill hold my hand up to having to wrestle a guy in an electric wheelchair who stabbed a bouncer
sparachiodi
The threat is not "by him" but "to you all who see". It's a message. It's a "We can do it and pass it free. Wanna be next?"
ducksfan359
He does have his pants halfway off...
novarag
Id like to know more context, like did he just happen to be in a crowd when they shot him?

I watched three of them pull a paraplegic from the passenger seat of his vehicle because he tried to hold onto the handle for support.
xXShadowWarriorXx
Don't forget he was also tazed, and then cuffed while frantically stating that he was paralyzed
breakingcode
and as with almost all these cases when he asked what he did/what he was being arrested for, the cops escalated.

The police are horrifically outnumbered. Lynch mobs are inevitable in the coming weeks, and it's looking like they'll be justified.

Imagine all the shit that goes on when people don't record or photograph?

This happened the other day. Imgu seems to be about a day or so behind on some of these stories... thats how many there are..

Freedom. Freedom to show your true colours as a power-tripping, militant, violently-racist piece of shit.

ACAB there are no good cops

There's a few, just not as many as we thought...

when orders come from above, even the nice cop becomes a killer

Not all, just a lot more than we ever thought possible.

Why are his pants down?
Hrafna55
He is homeless. I guess he was trying to relieve himself in some way.

Yours aren't? *pulls up pants* You guys...goddamnit this is the second time..i thought we agreed for the protests

My pants are always down underneath my pants.

I was wondering the same thing. I know things are crazy right now, but I feel like some context would be nice here. Just a little confused.

Wow downvotes for a source. That's super cool.
Ls1965
He was in the park commiting a lewd act and punched a cop. Wasn't there, just looked it up
WholesomeJoke
Any source?
Jazzcabage
Are you being serious? If so do you have a link for that source
Ls1965
I don't know how to link it, I'm sorry
AsAHistorian
Like the others say, if you're going to say that, please provide a source. HOW THE FUCK EVER, I don't give a shit how lewd the act was, 1/2
AsAHistorian
unless he was actively raping someone at the time (and doesn't look like he was), it does not justify shooting him in the fucking eye. 2/2
Ls1965
I don't know how to link it or I would have, sorry
Jazzcabage
Go to your browser history (I assume you read it on the internet) click on the page you read from. Then just copy and paste the URL >
Ls1965
Also I didn't say it was justified, people wanted to know what he did so I looked it up, calm the fuck down
Jazzcabage
Totally agree there. But I still need to know if that's true.. cause well.. thats a bit funny. Yes know its terrible but still
