Man with towel around hand appeared to flag officers down for help...
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.

He must have been doing something wrong. I mean come on standing in the street waving a towel. Of course they shot him. Christ
ReplyDeleteNO duh, that is their "procedure" to handcuff dead people...
ReplyDeleteOh and to wait until they bleed out, while waiting for 30 other cops to show up, so they can stack on each other like swat, and move in after they died... because we all know, that 6 cops with guns can not take on a dead guy with no weapons... It has to be 10 to 30 cops with guns taking on a dead guy...
all he had to do was comply and he would still be alive! you people need to learn to do what you are told! we got the guns the badges and the law on our side. You don't!
