Here we go again! Protesters gather in LA after cops killed a black man

[rayg]

Initial news report does not look to good for the police as the person had discarded his gun before being shot....

Protesters gather in LA after cops shot and killed a black man in a hail of bullets after they chased him off his bike and he 'dropped a bundle of clothes hiding a handgun'

Deputies had observed the man, identified by family members as Dijon Kizzee, riding a bicycle in Westmont along 110th Street and Budlong Avenue at 3pm
Lt. Brandon Dean said it was at this time that the man jumped off of his bike and began running northbound toward 109th Place

The man was found shortly afterwards a few blocks away at which time Dean says the officers attempted to make contact with him and as they approached, Dean said the man, who was clutching items of clothing in his hands, punched one of the officers in the face and then dropped the items

‘The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semi-automatic handgun,’ Dean said during a Monday conference

The two officers then both opened fire at the man, striking him several times

Ray's description is confusing. At first I thought he dropped the gun but no dropped the clothes, still had the gun. After throwing the punch, having a gun, yeah get shot if you have a gun in your hands.

Now if he did drop the gun with the clothes, then probably didn't need to get shot. But as I understand it, he still had the gun.

I thought the news said he had the gun in his clothes which he dropped..I didn't read it as he still had the gun..

As cops are continued to be attacked, killed and shot by these criminals/rioters and others resisting arrest you will see more of this as cops have to not let their guard down.

Cops shouldn't have to fight and chase people to make arrest. Resistance = force.

I thought the news said he had the gun in his clothes which he dropped..I didn't read it as he still had the gun..

Well if someone gets shot for DROPPING the gun, that kind of narrows down their options doesn't it. Yeah throw a punch, they're not going to take you to Dunkin' Donuts on the way to jail, but there ought to be a way for someone to give up without getting shot. Body cam would help.

Shouldn't have been carrying the gun in the first place.

Normally if a person has nothing to hide they wouldn't be running off or dropping things.

Interesting...same goes for CCL holders in your book? I'm picturing an argument between an off duty cop and a CCL holders in a bar someplace.

In Ohio the CCW laws apply TO ALL WHO ARE OFF DUTY. If you are consuming alcohol you are not legally entitled to be armed. An off duty cop armed and drinking can be arrested the same as anyone else.

Cops don't arrest cops. Not even fake cops.

A negative rebuttal for everything huh?

State laws vary but in my state my CCL prohibits carrying a gun in certain places. Taking a gun into riot/protest is asking to be shot.

So, now you're trying to change the subject by including a CCL as if this guy had one in the first place. Sure, he had insurance, knows who both his parents are and has a job too while we're fantasizing.

[togor]

GS I'm pointing out that your blanket statements have unintended consequences. For example:

Taking a gun into riot/protest is asking to be shot.

Certainly sounds like a criticism of the strategy of the militia guys. I'm actually inclined to agree. The authorities don't need freelancing irregulars, with no command structure or comms.

[Gun Smoke]

My CCL excudes carrying in federal buildings and certain public places.

Carrying a gun while attending and participating in a protest/riot would indicate they intend to use it for violence instead of defense.

Military and cops are exempt from restrictions to where they can carry except for court rooms.

Not only have democrats destroyed our major cities, they can't even hold a protest w/o f*****g everything up.

We all know you fully support total gun confiscation. You don't have to keep reminding us.

Another Gun Smoke straw man, when he runs out of things to add, which is often.

GS ...Not only have democrats destroyed our major cities, they can't even hold a protest w/o f*****g everything up.

I thing he added every thing that needs to be added...
