Police shoot, kill man on the ground in LA.
I am a huge supporter of law enforcement, but this is HORRIBLE.

Sure looks bad but the story is the homeless man was reaching for or had his hand on an officer's sidearm. The entire video is on buzz feed for those with the stomach for it.

I was unable to open the link here, but did see it on the news. Apparently, the homeless man had the officers gun in his hand and refused to drop it even after being tased twice.

It is an unfortunate and upsetting incident.
I would like to see how other stations in the area reported the incident. I do believ that how the news is presented has much to do with viewers reactions. We'll see how whipped up this gets before what really happened gets authenticated. |

I like to wait and see what the facts are in this.

This is a definite wait and see situation. The "facts" are all over the place. Even the video is not exactly clear what happened. I have heard he went for the gun, he had the gun. About the only thing not in dispute is that the police tried to taze him but either the taser malfunctioned, the officer used it incorrectly or it had little to no effect on the decedent.

I like to watch Fox News and MSNBC to get the two most extreme sides of any arguement. Then I turn on CNN to see holograms of what may or may not have happened.
