We unfortunately have another shooting that took place earlier today involving police using deadly force. This incident occurred in downtown Los Angeles and involved a bunch of officers and a homeless man in broad day light and the ugly scene was all caught on video and uploaded by Facebook user Anthony Blackburn. The man was shot 5-6 times and died pretty much immediately. The video is very graphic. Details are still sketchy at the moment. Police shot and killed a homeless man after they’d Tased him for not coming out of his tent. The LAPD were originally responding to a reported robbery in the Skid Row district of downtown Los Angeles.

Police have not identified the real name of the dead man, but he’s been identified by the community as going by the name “Africa.” Africa was declared dead at a hospital shortly after the shooting. No officers were injured during the altercation.
A witness, Dennis Horne, told the Los Angeles Times that “Africa had been fighting with someone else in his tent when police arrived.” You can see the scuffle on camera before the shooting.
When Africa refused to comply with a police order to come out of the tent, officers used the Taser on him and dragged him out, Horne said. The officers tackled Africa to the ground, where he continued to fight, which led to the fatal shooting, according to Horne.
We will keep updating this when more details become available. More gun violence involving police, this is just too common now.

I have been watch so many instances where so many city and states alike have shown live recordings of police (cops) have been committing murder though excessive force and other unorthodox method and are actually getting away with it.It’s time for the government to clean house.Be the American public take up arms to put a stop to it themselves.Which would be warranted under the circumstances.the public is getting tired of watching it happen and nothing being done to put a stop to grander than thou abuse of power by the public servants that their taxes pay for isn’t it supposed to serve and protect.they have been abusing there power witch has been granted by the people for the people.
. So in end ,I say to them get off your high horse and stop abusing the power granted to you by. The people.stop the unjust killings…..
Clearly that cop didn’t get enough training….
ok i agree there was better ways to handle whatever this situation was about but i closed my eyes and listened through it a couple of time and what i heard being repeated in the back ground beyond the ORANGUTAN voices was cops repeating drop the gun drop the gun so explain to me whats going on here did this man have a gun or was this just being said i mean witnesses only see what they want to or what ? to many people there for some made up stories what really happend all together? ACCOUNTABILITY im not choosing sides because i dont like violence regardless.
