Police shoot unarmed man in the head

[DiggityDaggityDo]

This guy was running towards police flagging them down. His arm was wrapped in a towel. Maybe he was injured and was trying to get help? Maybe he was crazy or on drugs? Police told him to drop the gun, he didn't, they shoot him in the head.

He did not have a gun.

Thats all I know as of now. Is there more to this story?

[BIGDAY]

Diggity. Guy had serious issues.

Here's the story...the guy called and was waving a towel at the cops and they told him to drop the towel...they thought he might of had a gun under the towel...at least that's from the report and witnesses. Let's not turn this into another "Cops gone crazy" video...they were called to the scene

yeah just like how they were called to scene where Tamir Rice was and did what they are trained to do when they arrived on scene; something brash and illogical like majority of cops




could be a story fit for Brazil movie sequel we are making

The man flagged down officers about 6:35 p.m. at Los Feliz Boulevard and Tica Drive south of Griffith Park, according to a police account.

"This person extended an arm wrapped in a towel. The officer exited the vehicle and said, 'Drop the gun, drop the gun,'" LAPD Lt. John Jenal said.

Then at least one officer shot the man, officials say. He was taken to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith, a department spokesman, said the officers followed standard procedure in handcuffing the man when they did. At that point, Smith said, the man had not been searched and was considered a suspect.A motorist shot graphic video of the officers handcuffing the man with a visible head injury.

"We always do that," Smith said. "That's the policy ... to handcuff someone in a situation like that."

Smith cautioned that the investigation into Friday's shooting was still in its early stages. One of the key questions, he said, was why the man flagged down the two uniformed officers.
The man was standing on the side of the road, Smith said, when he called out to the officers: "Police, police."

Smith said investigators would explore all possibilities, including whether the man needed some type of help from police. He said investigators would also look into the man's background to see if there were any indications the shooting was an attempted "suicide by cop."

Why would you say drop the gun if you see no gun. These guys just like to kill and hide behind a badge.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

They were afraid of the towel.

[Kermit]

Heard on the news this guy waved and yelled at the cops to get their attention and then approached them and had one hand clasped over the other(with a gray cloth around it) acting like he had a weapon.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Acting like he had a gun or was he injured?

[frostno98]

A Cop in Cincy just got gun down like that a few days ago when a deranged suspect bait him in. I don't blame the cops for not taking anymore chances at this point to these stupid people.

[Kermit]

Acting like he had a gun or was he injured?

I don't know. So far I haven't heard about any injuries to this guy other than the head wound from the bullet. It was mentioned that he wasn't in any kind of automotive distress. I am sure more will come out about this in the next few days.

Common sense is slowly becoming a lost art form
