Probably standard police procedure I'm afraid, they cant rely on a single shot as the victim may still be able to resist somehow so they pump another 3 or 4 bullets into him just to be sure.

There is no attempt to incapacitate or arrest a living person rather better to have a bit of shooting practice and let someone else sweep up the corpse afterwards.

Only in America..........

Yep, two shots center mass (chest) and one to the head, because even a headshot isn't a guaranteed kill. Of course if you have five armed men you can just sort of plug away and be fairly confident of one good shot in there somewhere.

I think when you are thinking you are just about to be shot at close range you kind of pull the trigger a few times more
to be safe

There are two policemen punching him in the face... he isn't shooting anyone.

There seems to me a discrepancy between what we've been told and what we can actually see with out own eyes here.
Never has my sig been so apt.

Its easy to take the odd story about the police and try and extrapolate this to represent all police. Every hour of the day thousands of good police stories happen in the USA but they dont make Youtube

Girth you just do not understand scale or law enforcement
I'll answer this seeing as it mentions me

Do you understand law enforcement? Dont pretend like you do. All I'm saying that USA police seem to be killing an alot of people unnecessarily IMO.

Do you see that happen... or are you just blindly following what you've been told?

These are acting like a militia not police.

Hmm six armed police vs an unarmed homeless man who's apparently already been stunned, surely that situation can be resolved without shooting him dead? Of course the police have one of the hardest jobs in the country - especially in areas like this - and of course they do a lot of good work and most people value them for that, but that shouldn't make them immune to criticism or excuse them of any wrongdoing. The whole video is pretty indicative of a sorry state of affairs.

LAPD are now saying he 'reached' for the gun not that he had the gun.

The truth will out... even if it's played out in front of people and they fail to see it.

The police have confirmed he was unarmed and there was SWAT team present. \There are no reports of him reaching for any guns. The police are saying he resisted but once again the report show he was shot within two seconds of them entering the house. So I don t get how the Officer was so 'scared' - cuz that the excuse they always use - in this instance but you're right he resisted - according to police he resisted - but in my book that is not a bad enough crime for an execution in his own house.,
